- Software Wikia is a wiki specialised on software using semantic extras. If a nice article does not have the required Wikipedia:Notability, simply export it and ask an admin for an import there.
- WikiProject Free Software is now merged with WikiProject Software. The link to WikiProject Free Software is Wikipedia:WikiProject Software/Free Software.
- To better serve Wikipedia, WikiProject Malware is now under the parent of WikiProject Computer Security. All Malware articles are currently being transferred over to the new project. In any case, you are welcome to join at WikiProject Computer Security!
- All members of WikiProject Software are urged to install the Centralized Announcement System on their talk page.
- For better and faster discussion between WikiProject Software Members a IRC channel has been created: irc://irc.freenode.net/##WikiProject-Software. For instant access click here: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=##WikiProject-Software. Please use your Wikipedia nickname.
- I have changed the participant (members) table by replacing the Task column with Area of Expertise. I also introduced a new template based status system so as to "arrange" the members according to whether they are active, semi-active, inactive, or retired. Please update your entry accordingly.

March 2010
Your edits to List of government agencies in comics, List of government agencies in DC Comics, and List of government agencies in Marvel Comics have been reverted. Because these edits occured on the heels of my recent contribution to your sockpuppetry case, your attempt to use WP:CFORK as an excuse for these edits is highly suspect. Those articles were split off as it the practice in the Wikipedia Comics Project. If you have any constructive edits to contribute on those pages, they will be greatly welcomed. --Xero (talk) 22:15, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
- ...and I continue to be the victim of disingenuous attacks by editors who would rather sling mud than adhere to policy. Groupthink (talk) 10:45, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Credentialism
Did you say you liked this article on your user page? Amongst its many apparent violations of Wikipedia standards, it seems to contain unsourced material. Perhaps you'd like to improve it, as the tag is incredibly even old than the match cut one! Stephen B Streater (talk) 10:22, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
- My mistake - I assumed blow meant the opposite of suck. Stephen B Streater (talk) 10:50, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
- No, oddly enough, they're synonymous. ;-) Groupthink (talk) 10:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Appropriate level of citations
I've been improving the match cut article somewhat. When you get a chance, you might like to update your citation requests. Please bear in mind that it is not usual for every fact in an article to be cited inline, as this makes the text unreadable. Rather, only doubtful information is tagged. According to policy, the content doesn't have to be verified, only verifiable. I'm also slightly hampered by not having the reference books listed - I suspect when the material was added, inline citations were less frequently used. I'm planning to move on to some of the other numerous video articles you have tagged at some point (starting from the newly blanked ones), but feel free to find references yourself to any of the missing citations!

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:39, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
