User talk:Arabhorse

Arabhorse loves Arabian Horses and music and is in a band. (S)he welcomes reasoned, logical, and vigorous but respectful debate and is unafraid to address controversial issues, and although (s)he has strong opinions about many things (such as the repression in Palestine, Zionists, homelessness in the USA, the rights of animals, the right to own guns, discrimination against minorities (including gays/lesbians/bi/trans), unconstitutional police-state actions of certain administrations, feminism, the oppressive and illegal 'War on Drugs', among other things), (s)he strives to be objective and fair and to listen to the opinions of others, as (s)he is not afraid to admit when (s)he's wrong and has changed his/her mind about many topics after conversing and listening to the others' viewpoints, doing research, and integrating those new facts into his/her worldview.

(S)he does not mind having his/her writing mercilessly edited as long as you give a good reason and improve upon what (s)he's written. Arabhorse realizes that many do not have good access to education and is embarrassed by the USA's literacy rate, but (s)he is a stickler for spelling! (S)he understands that typos happen but thinks that people should work to improve their spelling since so often bad spelling or grammar distracts from the writer's message, and in the context of Wikipedia is very important to confer legitimacy.

Arabhorse is from Olympia, WA, USA. (S)he thinks the world should hear Sleater-Kinney, Le Tigre, The Gossip, Radiohead, Tamer Nafar, the musical artist known as Iron Sheik, and many many other incredible artists.

Whinny at me whenever you like.

Arabhorse is a very busy mare/stallion and as you can see his/her talk page is a 'work in progress' :o)

Hello! :) I wanted to say I like your contributions on the Kathleen Hanna page. Also, I share your same taste of music. Happy editing! --Grrrlriot (talk) 19:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Modifing other's comments

Although changing grammar in articles is perfectly acceptable, changing other people's comments on talk pages or discussions (like FP nominations) isn't considered ok. On top of that once a nomination is closed and archived, it SHOULD NOT be changed, even a spelling/grammar mistake. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 17:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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 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.
