Thanks for your edits to the page, which included some much-needed new external link, but also made some less helpful changes.

You may want to read WP:EL which explains which external links to use and when. References to external links in Wikipedia should be to pages that support the preceding text. Not general pages about something mentioned, as you have done, for example, for NATO and Eton. Personally I see no need to provide links for these, as most readers will know what they are. If they do need links they should be to their Wikipedia pages, not to their websites. I plan to remove these links, and though I would let you know in advance.

That's fine: you're welcome! Thanks for your help. B N Childs

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.
