Regarding the question you left in the edit comment here, the CIOPYWITHIN has been dealt with. The attribution was made when the material was copied, but it is confusing due to a series of page moves. To reduce confusion, I added a note about the copying on the talk page. -- Whpq (talk) 13:37, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Please note that scientific names are always italicized, even (and especially) within references. Crusty government websites are shoddy primary sources, and should not be emulated. Abductive (reasoning) 23:01, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:29, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
