Ivankinsman 18:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)== Candidacy ==

Hi! I'm sorry to inform you that I have removed your candidacy for the board. This is because you do not meet the specified requirement of an editing history of at least one year. Your first contribution was on 11 April 2007 – to be eligible to stand as a candidate, it must have been made at least before 1 June 2006. You are also not eligible to vote in this election, sorry (to vote in the election your first edit must have been before 1 March 2007). Better luck next time!

OK - can you tell me if there is a Board Election held every year? Ivankinsman 16:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, the next election is scheduled to be held in 2009, but the plans may always be changed (the election last year was not scheduled beforehand, but was held because one of the elected representatives resigned from the board). Jon Harald Søby 16:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, and one more point. Can you tell me what are the criteria for becoming an editor and the procedure that needs to be followed i.e. do you need a certain amount of editing experience etc.Ivankinsman 18:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean? You are already an editor. Jon Harald Søby 19:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I started working on Wikipedia in April as you say but did not know that I was an 'editor'. Is this just a normal user who makes contributions to articles or something more? If I am an 'editor', I was not informed about this (or the date I became an editor) and am not sure what the responsibilities are? Is there a part of the site I can reference about this?Ivankinsman 06:08, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

OK I think I see now - being a member of the League of CopyeditorsIvankinsman 06:11, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
