Let me first of all make clear that I derive no benefit from promoting homeopathy. I have received no consideration nor offers of consideration from anyone. I do not understand how you say that Dana Ullman has some inherent COI by virtue of being a recognized expert who has published books in the field. We do not prohibit chemists from editing chemistry-related topics, and indeed we encourage those with relevant academic knowledge to help us build a better encyclopedia. Just because homeopathy is a controversial area of study does not mean we treat experts in that field as less deserving of respect. &mdash;] (''']''') 20:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Minderbinder, under your logic then, conventional medical doctors could not critique homeopathy because of COI due to the potential benefit that they might get from people who seek their care instead of homeopathic care. Let's not get too crazy here. If I refer to my own website on the article pages, please cry out COI (though this won't happen). In the meantime, perhaps be pleased that some experts (and not just armchair philosophers with axes to grind) are still editing here. ]<sup>]</sup> 15:10, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

::Why is that disruptive, and why would you even have any objection to it? You did edit the article . That list says "''Note: Being listed here does not imply that these editors were disruptive. It is simply for reference, a list of those editors who have recently been actively engaged with this article.''" Since you were actively engaged with the article, per that edit, it seems perfectly appropriate for you to be on that list.

::: Me adding one tag, does not count as involvement. See ]. You, however, have been involved in many ways, from editing the article to participation at the talkpage. When your name was originally added to the list of involved editors, you removed it. I said okay, as long as you stayed away from the article. But you didn't stay away from the article, so your name went back on the list. Then when I added your name, you added ''my'' name to the list of "involved" editors, which is not accurate. That's the disruptive part. Please don't adjust the list at all, just let the uninvolved admins do it. As for the Homeopathy case, see ], specifically: "''Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict (defined as articles which relate to homeopathy, broadly interpreted) if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.''" --]]] 17:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
:::: So if adding one tag doesn't count as involvement, then why did you add me to the list of involved editors - that is the only thing I have done on the article as well (with the exception of format fixing, or do you consider that editing that would constitute involvement as well?). Please make up your mind how you're defining "involved" in this case, either we should both be on the list or neither. And based on the quote from Homeopathy, I stand by my edits - fixing a list of users and adding a tag are not remotely disruptive, nor have I remotely come close to violating anything mentioned there. --] (]) 17:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Minderbinder. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Minderbinder~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

ArbCom elections are now open!

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 Misplaced Pages 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.
