[edit] Striking your vote

Hello Ram Mallika,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

[edit] Edits to Trichy

On your edits to Notable people section in Trichy, if you had a chance to look at the history, you would see I recently curtailed the section and cleaned it. But an Anon undid it. So, I am reverting back to my edits, a couple of days ago. Feel free to chime in. - RC 13:27, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey. Let me know if it gets undone again so that we can ensure the stability of this section. Regards, El_C 20:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tennis Championships

In regards to this discussion:

FYI, when a discussion is active on talk, don't persuade by RVs. You make valid points and I agree with them. But, they still are champions and thus encyclopedia and every other tennis historian/authority has accepted them as is. Your point of NOT counting them towards their slams may or may not be accurate. But I am not debating that. It is just an issue of listing them as is, as they were awarded trophies that were legacy French championships, whether national or international. Insisting on displaying them different for the sake of being different is somewhat trivial. Clear footnotes has been made showing when the tourney name has been changed and thus started including them. If you feel that it doesn't distinguish enough, feel free to make a statement in the beginning of the article mentioning, "Pre 1925 French Opens were exclusive to French nationals who are part of the club etc.. and hence tradition suggest not counting them towards individual slam count etc..". That along with NPOV tag should be sufficient for all parties concerned to make the distinction you are seeking. Again, I am not taking a position on counting or not. Merely shading them grey IMHO just indicate persecution. If someone still makes them include on slam count, then RV as you desire - RC 01:29, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually what we have here is worse than simply 'greying out'. We have a gross misrepresentation of history. In fact, all four of the tournaments, in their early years, were simply 'local' (not 'international') tournaments. It is not hard to find evidence that the U.S. 'Open' was actually 'closed' in the early years:

http://www.all-about-tennis.com/tennisgrandslam.html

Entry was limited to only those clubs which were members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association,

We see it was called the U.S. 'National' championships, not 'international'...

Yet we find the very first winner of the 'French' championships was a British man. So, not only is Fyunclick wrong on style, he's wrong on substance. Let things like qualitative assessment come from others. Simply state the results as-is.Ryoung122 06:06, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
