[edit] From Wikipedia:Candidates and elections

[edit] Elections first, then individual candidates

As a compromise between those who would keep all candidate articles and those who would delete all articles on yet-unelected candidates, this guideline states that articles on elections should be written before articles on individual candidates. Only if and when there is enough independent, verifiable information to write a non-stub article on a candidate should one be written.

Note "non-stub" articles. Creating stubs on every candidate, hoping they'll be filled in, is the wrong way to go. Better to create articles on each district election, adding a separate candidate article only when the volume of information requires it. Fan-1967 04:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Julius Caesar

I have reverted your move of Julius Caesar because this individual is the most notable Julius Caesar to exist in any point of history. I really feel that there was absolutely no reason to disambiguate the title, which would have caused so much major work for other editors. Please discuss such major moves on the talk page before you perform them.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

oh, I thought the others would have been more notable in today's modern society.. thanks for your help!riffic 04:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gaim to Pidgin rename

Hello! I just wanted to clarify in response to your edit summary, "citing name change (still think this is a hoax?)", that no — I don't think it's a hoax, but per the attribution policy, editors are supposed to cite whenever they have a source for information. I do realize that you didn't add the statement, so don't interpret this as quarreling or anything. :) -- intgr 21:37, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Portcullis, you will be blocked from editing. WikiBully 00:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
