[edit] CVC

You are right, it is September for the CVC opening. I changed it back. I thought I read somewhere that it had been pushed back to December. Yesterday's Roll Call article correctly states September.--Daysleeper47 15:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] United States Senate Page

You're welcome. I see you've been about the only editor trying to keep the article free of vandalism. I'll be happy to stick around and assist. (I'm probably off-net for a three days starting Tuesday, so you're on your own then.)

Am I correct, in assuming the president pro tempore (currentley: Robert Byrd), would preside over the Trial? GoodDay 18:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BSA

Welcome to the Scouting WikiProject! I noticed your interest in the Boy Scouts of America. You may be interested in The Language of Scouting, the official BSA style guide- we us this as a supplement to the AP Stylebook. In the terms and style section is an entry on capitalization that should prove useful. Please let us know if you have any questions. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 22:11, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I replied to your question on my talk page. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Presiding over the Senate

I saw your edit to President pro tempore of the United States Senate. You are correct that only majority-party senators currently preside. I suspect, however, that the anon who referred to senators of both parties presiding is thinking of the Senate of an earlier era; senators from both parties routinely took part in presiding until I believe the mid-1970's. I'm going to leave a note to the anon to this effect, though with dynamic IP's I don't know whether he or she will receive it. Regards, Newyorkbrad 23:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special Rules

Hi Meamemg,

Recently, I registered, but I was the original author of the Special Rules article.

You made a made a change in it in November, but I recently changed it back. You changed a "Majority of the entire membership" to "majority vote." These are two different things. Majority vote is a majority of the votes cast. In an organization with 125 members, a vote of one in favor, no one against is a majority vote in RONR. For some things, like adopting special rules is a majority of the entire membership (or a 2/3 vote with notice) is needed. If the organization has 125 members, 63 yes votes are needed (RONR, pp. 17, 390-1) is needed.

I just wanted you to know that I changed your edit. Please feel free to chech on the RONR website or ask the question on that board if you'd like to verify it.

Thanks,

--J. J. in PA 08:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
