I see your WN:POINT and raise you a WP:POINT ! :)
I've created a CfD on wikipedia to poll their opinions on Category:Terrorism. IMHO, we should undelete if they have convincing arguments for keeping. I'm not currently convinced by your particular arguments, but we shall see what happens on WP. Nyarlathotep 18:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

It seems my CfD has generated remarkably little interest, and it may not be the useful sort of interest anywho. Anyway, I apologize for arguing in favor of the deletion of this category without first further consulting wikipedia's history. I might still have supported it, but I'd have thought about it a lot more Some editors may feel that we need to demonstrate our independance from wikipedia, but I do not. I feel we should exploit the debate they put into a topic whenever possible (see userbox issue). Nyarlathotep 23:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Requests for arbitration
Edbrown05 asked that you provide an example of the user boxes which had caused the dispute.

Here is the babel template that Amgine requested I remove from my userpage.



RfAr accepted
Your request for arbitration has been accepted. Please visit Requests for arbitration/Amgine/Evidence and begin adding evidence. --Chiacomo (talk) 03:21, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Please add a link to your myspace page
Or similar personal website. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 20:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Please do not use your userpage as a personal website. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 20:52, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Your question is circular. I can ask exactly the same question of you: "We are here to write news stories, that is our primary goal, why should what one user may have on his userpage, be the end of the world?"


 * A more appropriate question is: "Does what a user places on his/her userpage have specific benefit to the project?" Another is: "Are there costs associated with what a user places on his/her userpage?" And: "In what way do userboxes work toward the goals and missions of the project?" -  Amgine | talk en.WN 21:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

fixing deletion requests
hi, i see u readded some comments removed by neutraliser on deletion requests. just wanted to point out that some of the newlines/indent have got mangled in the Category: Nuclear Proliferation discussion. (not sure what is going on with these edits, so didn't fix it myself). cheers, Doldrums 05:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

DR
Thank you so much for correcting it. That was an extreme unintentional screwup.. I don't even know how it was possible? Could it have been an edit conflict? Neutralizer 13:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Could I have edited an out of date revision? Neutralizer 14:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Why are you supporting a temporary injunction on userboxes?
This does not seem reasonable, please explain it to me. StrangerInParadise 08:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm only supporting it (weakly) beacue it pains me to see, the deletion/undeletion/deletion that has gone on. This SHOULD ONLY last untill the arbcom reaches in decision. And I hope that their decision will be that; in current policy userboxes should be keeped. Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 08:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Why not do as I have done, and call for a moritorium on deletions, not on creations? StrangerInParadise 09:49, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * yes, your right, it should only be on deletions, it was midnight when I supported it- i was half asleep :) Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 18:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Yet, you still have not changed your support on this, why? Also, do you really support Amgine's babel proposal? Consider this. StrangerInParadise 18:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Delighted to see a welcome message(some one month back) before I contributed anything at all. Good luck on your endeavours.-Pournami 05:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
