The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

December 2023[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Richard Irvin (Illinois politician), please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

The *Show preview* button is right next to the *Publish changes* button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 17:30, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit removed a couple of characters of formatting, which wrecked a table... a very easy-to-make error, but using Preview will immediately reveal such issues. It's saved me more times than I can count. Cheers, Jessicapierce (talk) 17:30, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate {Use dmy dates}[edit]

FYI this process ("Missing or empty |title= solved") doesn't check for existing {{Use dmy dates}}/{{Use mdy dates}}: 1, 2, and at least 20 more. It should update the existing template (and preferably move it to the top of the page per MOS:ORDER) instead of adding a new template. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 13:29, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed all 38 instances I found. A few were preexisting dups. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 14:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
