Hi CanadianNine - I can't take on a trainee, for the simple reason that I'm still one myself! You might ask one of the full clerks, there is a list linked to from the SPI page.

Can you please remove the large font from your signature. It is somewhat annoying to read stuff that you have signed due to the line breaks it causes. Thanks.

Hello! I noticed that you've been reviewing a lot of nominations at [[T:TDYK|the DYK suggestions page]]. Thank you for your help, and I hope you will continue to contribute! As you know, you don't need to be an administrator to review hooks or to move hooks to [[T:DYK/N|Next update]], so your help is more than welcome.


{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; border: 2px; margin-top: 0.2em;"
You may already be familiar with the DYK rules by now, but in case you aren't, you can check out the [[WP:DYK#DYK rules|official rules]] and the [[WP:DYKAR|Additional Rules]]. You may also want to look into some useful tools that can allow you to review nominations more quickly: the [http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/charcount.shtml Cut & Paste character counter] is a helpful JavaScript to calculate the length of [[WP:DYK#The hook|hooks]], and [[User:Dr pda/prosesizebytes.js]] is a script you can install on your own Wikipedia account for more heavy-duty article length calculating.

== [[WP:ACE2015|ArbCom elections are now open!]] ==

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|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 [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]]. For the Election committee, [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 14:06, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

== Good article reassessment for [[Winter Olympic Games]] ==
Hello, I'm going to revert your move on [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Grooveshark]] back to it's original title for now, from [[Grooveshark (program)]]. Currently [[Grooveshark]], the correct page to which the article should be moved is protected, and I'm requesting an unprotect right now. Seeing that you're a new user, I guess I should tell you that the (program) on the title that you suggested is not needed unless there is more than one article named "Grooveshark". But don't worry, this is a pretty minor mistake. Keep up the good editing!

[[Winter Olympic Games]] has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the [[Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Winter Olympic Games/1|reassessment page]]. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article.

:On second thought, I'll just leave it there, and then clarify to the unprotecting admin on what page should be moved.
