Does the page need additional cleanup beyond the good job that Tedernst has already done (except the few items that needed revision by those specifically familiar with the content areas involved)? I thought the cleanup he did (that I didn't revise) was very helpful, but there wasn't space to say that in the edit summary. -DoctorW 05:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor feels its important to deviate from the manual of style for this page. Doctor, please give specific reason for:

I tried to be gracious before, but the harsh fact is that your edits of this section (Main community articles) showed both ignorance of the content and poor judgement. Now you make a shrill demand to have a more detailed explanation than that already given for the choices made for how to present this content in the way that those most familiar with it feel conveys it best to visitors.

I was not aware of the dispute over formatting that seems to be going on here and I won't be getting involved in it. Mattley ^(Chattley) 18:00, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

this disambig page makes a lot of references to the fact that this is an encyclopedia, I'll try to fix it. MichaelBillington 02:42, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
