For the fact that every single anime article I ever look at seems to have you as a major editor, I award you this barn |

FYI, your Scout user box points to an old title of the Eagle Scout article. It's now called
- Thank you, fixed. I also noticed several BSA ranks went AFK (merged somehow). I restored those too. -- chi?20:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- They were mereged for a reason. I wish you hadn't done that. Rlevse 20:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- I wish I was informed about this merge in march. The merged article is in my view a mess and I am quite experienced with featured lists. -- chi?20:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- It is not anyone's job to inform you personally of a merge. It's your responsibility to set a watch on an article of interest and respond to changes you see. I and others do not think they are a mess, it puts the info in one spot. You also took this action without any discussion and accuse Gadget, et al of no discussion, yet there was lots of it if you'd watched the articles, etc. Rlevse 20:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ok here is how I will do this. I am going to forget about this issue for a day or two until things cool down. This is being highly unproductive. -- chi?21:08, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- You've no one but yourself to blame for this due to making wholesale changes without any chance for discussion whatsover; at least Gadget posted merge notices. Agree to a few day wait. Rlevse 21:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Large scale merging
Please try to avoid large scale merges w/o discussion. I have restored the BSA rank articles... --
Merge tags were placed on each article on 16 Mar 2006. No objections were made on any of the individual articles, thus the merge was made 7 days later on 23 Mar. Discussion did take place, specifically on the Scouting portal and at
Wow- you've been busy today! --Gadget850 ( Ed) 19:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Not quite. My busy days have several hundered edits per day.
- I created all of those articles merged. Since my creation they were somewhat expanded (I was couting on someones eagle project covering the topic).
- The 7 day rule doesn't mean anything to me as I have thousands of articles on my watchlist. I think it wouldn't have hurt to inform me.
- I feel the individual rank articles have a potential to expand given time each rank has a history after all (see eagle article). A merge is unnecessary.
- -- chi?20:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Why is it okay for you to make wholesale reversions without any chance of discussion by others but Gadget can't make merges after posting merge notices? Rlevse 21:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

If you are interested in sea mammals, check this [3]. It is not, of course, unless the wifey is from St. Louis and the mother is in Bali. But it is close (there are photographs), and sometimes even associable (they had to run for their lives during the 2004 tsunami). I don't like the letters DB anyway, they are always associable.

Wikisickness, continued
What I was referring to was the endless debate over userboxes. You'd commented that Doc Glasgow was someone to whom people could come when they were feeling wikisick...but he was one of the people causing it with his position in the userbox debates, along with Tony Sidaway and Cyde. They've all got me feeling sick and depressed because of the unilateral, scorched-earth, bullying tactics they've used to deny that Wikipedia is a community of diverse people with diverse interests and diverse PsOV.
Hence my question: Who do I turn to? Jay Maynard 21:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Err... Doc Glasgow is an awsome vandal fighter and a close friend. I'd gladly exchange him for all the userboxes on my userpage, and I am quite protective of them...
- POV boxes were declared bad by Jimbo Wales, as they started being counter productive... The second Jimbo made his ruling, the debate ended. Like it or not Jimbo Wales and WMF owns wikipedia servers. Doc was only enforcing that.
- -- chi?22:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Except that, by his own words, Jimbo was not making policy, and not encouraging people to go on a deletion spree. But that's neither here nor there, for the moment...I hate to see any valued contributor leave. I just wish that those on the other side of the issue saw that's what they're doing. Jay Maynard 22:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- I for one see the entier userbox issue an exagaration. When the "war" broke out I subst: my userbox templates (none were political). Waited a month or two and found out my precation wasn't even necesary.
- I would wish to see people evolved culturaly beyond prejudice, sadly however there are many who disagrees with that kind of ideology. Userboxes with political or religious content facilitates and sparks this prejudice. Of course you taking the time talking to me aren't the prejudicing kind, but not everyone is like you.
- Some people have difficulty supressing their emotions and views, other than that they are excellent contributors. It would not be wise to slap a patriotic american with a userbox showing US army people beheaded etc. (and that user contributing to say Sep/11th attacks). Placing a limit to such cases is the problem, safest would be to delete anything political.
- -- chi?01:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- The problem I have is that it's the user's actions that count, not their beliefs. Only when their beliefs leak into their actions is it that it's a problem (and I'm not in any way trying to minimize it) for Wikipedia. Just because someone is a Republican and proud of it does not mean they're putting a Republican POV into their articles; indeed, it could well mean just the opposite. I put the User republican tag on my page, when I had them at all, so that others could watch and make sure I wasn't writing with that bias.
- In any event, this has all been hashed out at great (some might say, with justification, interminable) length other places. My comment was aimed more at the toll this has taken on me, personally. Jay Maynard 01:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- What about a userbox portaying blacks in general for being fundemetaly stupid or whites being arrogant, Japanese being tretrous, muslims barnaric... How is all that creating a friendly and civil environment? -- chi?23:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I am considering withdrawing my nomination since people are comlaining the silly about everything in no way in accordance with criteria.
Some of the oppose votes are for images being fair use, while another complains that dvd images are inaproporate and instead screenshots should be used (something whelmingly opposed on other noms). Some oppose because tables "look ugly".
What do you think. Does it have any chance of surviving the flc since I can't satisfy conflicting views... --
- As long as images have Fair Use rationales (and they do) the objection is not valid and thus I wouldn't consider it. Uglyness is a factor sometimes, but what people are expecting to see is a class="wikitable" sort of thing (so that's easily addressed). I haven't really gone through the nomination this time (fairly busy week at work) but I'd recommend you not to withdraw it. Good luck. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 13:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ok. I'll wait then. :)
- class="wikitable" doesn't work properly on firefox on larger tables (and the one we have is decently large). The current table header is the modified version of wikitable compensating for the problem (and blue bg instead of grey).

comment on Category:Imposters of Moby Dick cfd
Hmm.. such is wide spread. see:
- Wow, I wasn't aware of that! What a strange world Wiki seems to be. Both examples you gave me are really below the belt. Are you not interested in getting deleted the category related to you? I must say I find it in bad taste! Bertilvidet 18:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- The categories help us keep track of such accounts. It is easier to make sure they stay blocked.
- Also people writing vandal fighting scrits use such usernames on the category to create better ways in detecting and blockıng such accounts often before they are ever used.
- Obviously I have not had sex with half a dozen wikipedia admins, so I do not see the problem with the category ^_^

Silver vs Gold
CC: Silver comes before gold in Olympic medals, but not Eagle Palms--read up on it. The reason is that when palms were created, silver was worth more than gold, so silver was made the highest palm and BSA has never changed that. r/ Rlevse 20:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

The edit from the anon which you reverted yourself earlier today as vandalism contained personal information about someone who has been a victim of serious harassment, so I removed it from the history.

Comments such as "Otaku own the internet, and the Wiki, like the internet, bends to their wishes. " is not creating a pleasant environment and is most certainly not improving the article. May I ask what are you intending to achieve on
- As a response to the user's obvious question, I felt it best to be blunt and a little "tongue in cheek". Simple explanation: is often used by writers as a warning that the following comment will be overly insensitive, due to time limitations, etc. Since I also forwarded him to longer, more accurate sources I don't feel my comment was out of place. I do believe that Chokaro's comment was also meant as "tongue in cheek", as nobody really plans on fighting any "wars" over Wikipedia. freshofftheufoΓΛĿЌ 02:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think an actual straight answer (as per consensus, see arcives) would be more aproporate. Referring to an otaku cabal is inaproporate and is no way to refer to fellow wikipedians (myself included).
- Chokaro's comment can be easily be interpreted as an invitation to a revert war. Please be sensative with your responses so as to make sure we avoid unnecessary confrontations.

Air
I realised I havent yet created this anime an episode list... I think I will in a day or two (I generally create the hole thing in one edit) --
- Funny I just happened to catch you creating that article (I was about to do the same), but I really don't think we should go with the OMG format with Air. By only having two episodes each, there is a LOT of wasted space. Personally, I think we should just move over the tables we already have in the main article. --SeizureDog 19:17, 13 June 2006 (UTC)]

On another note, why is every DVD cover you put except for the first one different from the ones I'm finding on amazon.co.jp? looky It says you're finding these pictures on Amazon but what's your search term? I can't even FIND the freaking things in the English side. --
- I actually searched for "Air" on amazon.co.jp (remember, the name isnt avalible in kanji). There are a lot of false hits but eventually you get to the anime. There are two versions of the dvd covers. I picked the ones that featured the characters more, with the exeption if the first one which the alternative is ridiclously low on quality.
- Air hasn't been licensed in the US yet (to my knowledge) so it is quite normal why it is not on amazon.com.

I'm not sure if Air is technically a series. A series implies sequels. Air just got remade...3 times. It's kinda like calling
- The anime has a ridiclously siple title... Air... I mean wtf were the creators thinking? Technically the OMG OVA and the OMG TV series are unrelated. OVA is a prarllel universe on its own detached even from manga. TV is... different from the manga. Movie is well also different. Mini series has a mind of its own. Its kinda the same deal with air just that air's stories are much closely related.

Ranks and insignia of NATO armies officers needs to be fixed please
I am not good at fix html, but I noticed something wrong with this page. The American Officers is wrong. “Second Lieutenant” is O-1 and “General of the Army” is not O-10, but it is a rank reserved for war, which is correct. So, to fix the American Army ranks on this page, just move “First Lieutenant” to the O-2 position, and then move all the other ones up one and that will fix it, and in the O-10 position should be “General.” If someone could fix that, I would appreciate it, thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.34.57.24 (talk • contribs)

Cool Cat, why are you creating all these Air character stubs like
- Take a deep breath and wait a day or two...
- I was requested to create a template for characters and went ahead and created the stubs as well. Michiru for example is very important to the plot of the anime and has apeared in multiple episodes...

The evidence section
I see that you find it hard to stay away from me and my edits, and do a lot of research regarding my activities on Wikipedia. I guess that now, nothing will prevent me from investigating your edits and add relevant evidence regarding your continued POV editing and other violations to your most recent ArbCom case. -- Karl Meier 21:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm? I was asked to comment there via email. You seemed to have predetermined conclusions... That is no way to start any investigation. In any case, be my guest to review my edits and present them at arbcom case.
- Only edits that can be viewed as somewhat contraverisal was in WP:Citeetc... I really have nothing to hide, I never had.
- What I call "a lot of research" is the evidence I collected against Moby Dick. IIRC you were present on that ANB/I discussion.
- -- chi?21:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- To present edits that are more than half a year old does indeed take a lot of research, and that is what you just did.

Whether or not your edits has been against policy is something then something that the ArbCom will make a decision about. -- Karl Meier 21:45, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- I picked an article randomly that you have edited recently, Ali Sina. At random and reviewed the past 1000 edits reviewing your reverts. My monobook highlights administrators so its fairly easy to notice an administrator reverting you...

- Nice :) Btw, what the hell would you say is Yukito's hair color? It goes from gray to lavender to freaking purple (movie mostly). Also, do the character infoboxes have the ability to show multiple screenshots like for the OMG characters? I think showing the differences in style can be pretty important for this series, especially with Misuzu as she looks like 5 years older in the movie. --SeizureDog 16:29, 16 June 2006 (UTC)]
- Umm... "Gray/lavender/purple"?
- The character infobox is a modified version of the OMG infobox and only redundent parameters like "Angel" "Dimension" (etc) are removed. It can have the extra images just like the OMG infobox.

- Well, some argue the absence of religion itself is a religion...
- Many wars are fought over religion even in this century. The idea of dying in the name of a religion is a very dangerous ideology. It basically allows one to shut off moral center.
- My view is that religion is a topic best kept alone. Everybody is free to believe in what they believe in and no one should impose their beliefs on others. If only we followed a Prime Directive, life would be much better on the planet.

Wikipedia Guidelines
There are many wikipedia guidelines, many often conflict each other. Guidelines are ment to guide users in writing high quality articles and are not absolute. If the application of a guideline degrades article quality, I am more than willing to ignore it.
Some wikiprojects set their own guidelines such as the one ned 'works' at (has a total of 6 members I believe). Nothing compels me to follow their 'standards', especially if the format I use is used on 3 featured lists, all three I used. He is telling me that I cannot use DVD covers on that list I have initiated. He has no such authority, no one does. Consider this change [5] in the name of guidelines.
My comment originaly was protesting against the application of
This whole thing is pretty silly, I know but it is not a content dispute. Ned just want the articles to appear exactly how he wants them. He does not contribute to the articles much. Prior to june he had no contribution to air at all.
--
- Actually there has been at least 16 editors who've listed themselves as a participant of WikiProject LOE. Granted the project went a bit inactive for a while, these style guidelines were always apart of the project. And note, that's just how many who've added themselves to a list or category. WikiProjects don't really have "members", but rather, they're a place for anyone to discuss and form ideas about a similar topic that applies to many articles. And all the ideas were taken from active episode list articles, using their discussions, ideas, and layouts as well. Many more editors are involved than just those who add a userbox to their userpage. This is not "our" standards, but Wikipedia's standards. I never said you couldn't use DVD covers, I just said it looked ugly to place them on the sides of the lists like that. The reason people talk about mergers before YOU can start editing and re-watching stuff is because they are not YOUR articles. These articles belong to all of us, as fans and as Wikipedians. You really should include other people. -- Ned Scott 05:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC)]

I'll just say a few things about that. First off, I think the the times when guidelines should not be followed are rare exceptions, not the rules, and I don't think I'm alone in that view. Secondly, it does seem that he is discussing this. If consensus goes against him and he continues to revert, then there's something actionable. Thirdly, I personally detest stubs and believe that everyone should make use of workspaces to get a good sized article before posting (and I was a big supporter of WP:FICT). Finally, there's nothing wrong with jumping into a new article and making changes to a page so long as you don't go against the feeling of the other editors, which can be determined through discussion. --InShaneee 04:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- OK consider this. You start edititing an article (you initiate it) and this third party comes and dictates it. List of Oh My Goddess episodes List of Planetes episodes List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes follow the style I want for List of Air episodes. Is there any reason you would object to that?

- Actually, it doesn't. The way the paramaters are set up currently make the size parameter the senoir parameter of the two. Should it be left blank, the image box defaults to the original. However, if {{{size|250px}} is used, it will cause an error in some templates.

Same log indicate that account for User:Coola1800 itself was created quite some time ago at 20:27 hours UTC on 27 April 2006. Neither user has any edits.
- Judging from the absence of other accounts, I conclude that these are not created from the use of a public computer or a proxy which would be expected from an impersonator.
- Creating multiple accounts without using either is strange to say the least but so far nothing implies impostoration. Hence we should treat him like a legitemate user. Haveing said that, staying vigilant would be a prudent course of action. I'll watch "both" of them for a while.

- Yes, wikiprojects bring coordination and consistency. Neither the difference in the templates, nor the debate provide any additional consistency. Both list provide same info in almost identical manner and are consistent with norms. Coordination means they work as a group to improve a list, not dictate it. They as a group should be working for a consensus, willing to compromise. I compromised, why cannot they?
- The OMG template was created long before its counterpart as a part of Anime wikiproject. The LOE wikiproject replace the OMG usage (as it did on exel saga as they proudly express it) generating inconsistancy. Anime wikiproject should be coordinating anime related articles for consistancy.

Compromise
Lets settle this with a compromise. So far I have compromised the thick borders (with delight might I add). I also converted the template to folow the "LOE" table markup.
So far you have not compromised at all. Now I request to be able to use whats left of my tables. The only difference currently is where kanji, romaji, and episode numbers appear. I prefer my syntax.
Perhaps that could be applied to the LOE template? Or a new LOE template for articles using dvd covers?
--

- Why would I compromise something that isn't just my view, but the view of many editors, and is backed by logic? I'm all for getting along with you, but I won't sacrifice these issues for the sake of appearing friendly. I don't have much reason to trust you, ether. Sure, you are speaking of compromise and collaboration now, but is that only because you have been backed into a corner with no choice? I noticed on some of your archived talk pages that one editor reminded you to put fair use rational statements on images, and your response was something to the extent of "I don't have to do what anyone tells me to do". It was only until it was a requirement of the featured lists and it was brought up during the OMG candidacy that you complied, when you had no other choice. We will make some sort of peace with each other, surely, but not by sacrificing editing values. -- Ned Scott 06:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- In war there are only two ways to peace. Either through one sides surrender, or both sides compromise. What you ask of me is unconditional surrender.
- View of many editors are met. That is why I compromised by modifying my version of the template. I have taken into account their arguments especially about "easy use". The template now is almost identical to the LOE template with a few minor differences. The point of a compromise is to let go certain things you disagree with as should the other party.
- I am making an effort to settle this in a civil and cooperative environment. Both sides made mistakes such as revert warring. In a cooperative environment, no one is cornered.
- Oh and btw, OMG achieved fac w/o the fair use rationales (see timestamp of the addition of the rationnale). I added that later on after someone bothered to expain me the reasonings behind fair-use rationales via IRC. I not only agreed with his reasonings, but became an advocate of the issue. I am not as close minded as you portray me.

I'm all for getting along with you, but I won't sacrifice these issues for the sake of appearing friendly. I don't have much reason to trust you, ether. Sure, you are speaking of compromise and collaboration now, but is that only because you have been backed into a corner with no choice? I noticed on some of your archived talk pages that one editor reminded you to put fair use rational statements on images, and your response was something to the extent of "I don't have to do what anyone tells me to do". It was only until it was a requirement of the featured lists and it was brought up during the OMG candidacy that you complied, when you had no other choice. We will make some sort of peace with each other, surely, but not by sacrificing editing values. -- Ned Scott 06:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Naruto episode #9
I created this wiki but maybe I should have read something on how to do it first. if you had time I was wondering if you wouldnt mind helping make any edits. Ill be working on it too. also, if you wouldnt mind, please post a link on my talk page or something I can use because I have no idea how to communicate with other users. and you seem like a cool cat and all ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeydo (talk • contribs)
- Alright, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)is the guideline you may want to observe.
- My reccomendation is writing one or two line summaries for individual naruto episodes on List of Naruto episodes first.
- I'd be more than happy to answer individual questions. Just a general one is hard to answer.

List of Oh My Goddess episodes
As per this edit, I request you check other anime episodes I have been involved with. See:
- If you look at Template talk:Japanese episode list under Using the template, you'll see that the standard is 98% and not 100%, so I changed it accordingly. Actually, it was because I brought up the point to Ned Scott that he changed it from 100% to 98% because of the horizontal scrolling bar that appears on the MSN browser that I use, if not others, but I'm not sure if it affects any other browsers the same way.--Juhachi 20:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Why must you cite a reason? I am assuming good faith and do not desire nor require a detailed explanation.
- I was only asking you to make similar modifications on all other episode lists on my office and check for other problems that might exist with msn browser.
- -- chi?20:36, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, well I misread it then; sorry. I've made the same modification to the Planetes and FMA lists too.--Juhachi 20:38, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. Please let me know if any of the lists break with any browser. I;ll do my best to make it compatible with all browsers or at least I will try ;) -- chi?03:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

98% width issue
The 98% isn't important. It was a minor adjustment so some browsers wouldn't show a horizontal scroll bar when rendering the Wikitable. It's not really apart of any guideline. -- Ned Scott 22:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Editing wikipedia is quite possible w/o a guideline or a straw poll. With little care, pages can look perfectly on multiple browsers. -- chi?01:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, no, you prove that wrong. Normally people accept progress, instead of hanging on to "their things". -- Ned Scott 03:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry what progress are we talking about? What is the point of that comment? -- chi?03:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Lets take the example of the Air nav templates. How many times did you revert me on that before taking it into consideration? Take the bold table lines, how long did it take for you to question that it might be a simple bug and not a requirement? Why is it that we must corner you in order for you to realize simple things? Look at your attitude towards official guidelines and WikiProjects. Of course they're not the final word, and no one is expected to live in "fear" of them. But rather than you looking at them and saying "hey, I bet there was a conversation behind that and I bet someone made a really good point that lead to that being a guideline." Rather, you ignore it all together, despite when other editors cite it as something helpful, directly to you. I forget where it says, but I believe there's another statement or guideline about guidelines themselves, and it says it's more important to follow them in spirit than word for word. You lack the collaborative spirit, you lack trust in your fellow Wikipedians. We take ideas from all of us and try to take the best parts and go forward. These things you think are my ideas, aren't my ideas. They're ideas I took from someone else, that they took from someone else, etc. It's been very hard to get you to think outside your editing style. I'm not telling you this to be rude, I'm telling this to you because I really want you to realize it. -- Ned Scott 03:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Lets take example of air templates. You revert warred against me. Have you not? Have you attempted explaining yourself? Have you attempted a compromise? I had to get a 3rd person to come up with a 3rd version in between. Have you taken my version into consideration?
- I believe (without quoting a guideline or polcy) that it is imperative for wikipedia pages to be rendered correctly on all browsers. At the very least an effort should be made to make pages work on multiple browsers. My views on the necesity of thick borders have not changed. I pashionately support the think borders. While being slightly ugly, thick boreds work well on firefox. But I compromised something I pashionately believe in to cool of the heat of the debate. Somebody has to pull his hand off the triger...
- Who is we? Who do you talk behalf of? Who is cornering me? What kind of an attitude is "cornerring"? I do not believe I have been cornered. I can just as easly continue the revert war.
- My attitude towards wikiprojects is in accordance with Wikipedia:Wikiproject, a WikiProject is a collection of pages (just a list of links) devoted to the management of a specific family of information within Wikipedia. It is a resource to help coordinate and organize article writing. Nothing more, nothing less. Wikiprojects have no juristiction in any way nor are they in any way official. Wikiprojects do not set standards.
- I do not ignore guidelines, I am just not obsessed about them. I edit in good faith developing a chain of articles. If a guideline or policy is making my life complicated, I forget about it until I have a working article. Then I consider weather or not applying the policy improves the articles value (NOTa burocracy. Also which guideline am I allegedly not following?
- I think it was you not trusting me (for whatever the reason). I do however trust you. I know for certain you don't vandalise articles. Nor do I consider you to be a threat to wikipedia. I monitor every edit of people I do not "trust" such as User:MARMOT.
- I colaborate just fine, assuming I am beeing talked to. I prefer to resolve disputes with diplomacy and discussion. I prefer to discuss matters with other editors rather than forcing it as a standard or via a straw poll.
- Again who is we? The Borg? Whoes input are we talking about? Certinly not my input... that has been actively dismissed at Template talk:Japanese episode list. I am not sure which ideas are we discussing, but the origin does not matter.
- If you want me to consider something, you should talk to me and tell me precisely what I should consder. I was unaware that I had an editing pattern...
- It was very late when I was posting this. If something doesn't make any sense its probably because I am sleepy. :) I'll correct any such error later on.

Help
This guy keeps adding some extremely POV sentences on Turkey's history in the Turkey article. Earlier he used to do it as an anon, but now he's got a user name I think he's gone over 6 reverts now. Im a novice at WP, so can you report this guy to the admins for breaking the 3RR ? Thanks KSK
- Done. See chi?00:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! ...but he's back again. This time as User:Lifer00. *sigh* --KSK 05:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I really apriciate that correction of your however there seems to be a problem with the script. See this diff: [6]
Please do not interprete this msg as a discouragement. --
- Ah, I was using Firefox when that correction to your page was made... Sorry about that. --talkemail 15:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)]
- No need to apologise, was just pointing out a bug. I know how annoying those can be... :) -- chi?15:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

POV issues
Please kindly discuss your concerns on the Talk page, so that other editors also become aware of those issues. I believe we can address and resolve them in a constructive manner.
- Negative, I do not consider myself objective enough to determine neutrality. The template requests review from a neutral and uninvolved party and should stay until such a person stumbles upon. -- chi?20:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Do you know any neutral editor who is willing to help?Heja Helweda 20:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)]
- Well If I asked people I knew, there is a risk that they would lean toward my views as likely they would ask me for input. I want the review(s) to be impartial. -- chi?21:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

armenian genocide
hi there. I know that this article has caused serious headache and problem to you in the past. Fadix who was the main trouble maker there left wiki for good. maybe now you can consider coming back and helping us for the sake of Neutrality. see u.neurobio 11:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Greetings. The reason I am not very active on that particular article was not Fadix (I am not intimidated by incivility and other nonsense). Until 23:24, 5 October 2006 (UTC), I intend to stay away from that article as per Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Coolcat, Davenbelle and Stereotek
- I am not very knowlegable on the issue. But articles pathetic shape is so apperant, it does not require knowledge (there was a propoganda posters at a point).
- What I might recomend is arbitration to resolve the current nonsense going on mostly on the talk page.
