Note that areosynchronous != areostationary the last time I checked (and it was well before Dec 2004). Nothing is as simple as it seams. Please be careful with such quick fixes.

Thank you for your kind words on coopetition—I'll see if I can find a source for the earlier writer's comment about Taylor and incorporate Noorda. Stombs 08:56, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
Iasson has an RfC running against him. While I and apparently many others are as frustrated with him as you seem to be, it's not at clear that he's acting in bad faith. Of particular note is that English is not his first language. If, as it seems, he's acting in good faith, then a deep breath and some comments at the RfC are the way to go. On the other hand, if he's just trolling, then responses like yours are exactly what he's after. — Korath ( Talk) 21:58, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
Hi. Could you take a look at the recent edits I made to consensus science and consider changing your merge/deletion vote? I believe the new version more accurately describes the clear divide between the two concepts, and adheres more closely toward NPOV. Thanks. — Cortonin | Talk 09:25, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
'Directly'? 'Lifted'? My good man, what are you saying? However, thank you for the URL to Eldredge's own web site. I could find no reference anywhere to his DoB, but you supplied a suitable source of information! :)
I've shined it up a bit, explained some stuff in simpler terms, and removed the reference to Eldredge's eternal battle with the Creationists, as it's not very interesting. Toodle-ooh. sugarfish 23:59, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for a piece of advice.
Although, I think the dispute this way only widened to the new space of Wiki. I don't quite think the opponents are about to agree even on the determination of the nature of this so called dispute. BBC viewpoints
Just compare: Wikipedia:Requests for comment
My explanatory text: The other Wiki's Chechnya articles are related to this one. The Article 'Second Chechen War' and the impartial Analyses and Reports resume deserves professional writing due to the sensitive political situation and Genocide topically on the spot.
Pnikolov's invert: NPOV and inclusion dispute.
Topically, who's to tell how to write NPOVwise about such as evidently imminent state terrorism and genocide among one minor defenceless people?-- BIR 07:36, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hello! Regarding my tagging, I probably had just then tagged several obvious GFDL's and automatically tagged it as one. On the router bits, I could have easily doen a replacement in Microsoft Word, and the description made it look homemade. Thanks, Bart133 (t) 01:27, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi, TenOfAllTrades-- You asked a few questions on the VFD page for my Wikipedia entry. I'm responding here rather than there because it doesn't really seem appropriate for me to participate directly in the debate any more than I already have. Feel free to repost any of the following or to ignore it completely, as you deem fit.
I just realized I wrote "August 2003". I meant "August 2002." My apologies. -- Jacobw 18:47, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. I have heeded them. I posted a reply on my talk page, and would appreciate your additional feedback.
By the way, your sig's talk link does not work properly. Did you customize it? - Rholton 16:22, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
Hi there! Regarding your comment on the 'little boxes' item on VfD-talk... of course you can start a policy consensus article! As can anyone else, if they think they have a VfD-related matter that bears discussion. Radiant! 19:11, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
Hi! Thank you very much for your Iceberg of Cool Reason! I'm glad you liked my little rant on the VfD page. And the award itself is a brilliant idea on your part; I hope that it will be an inspiration to many future receipients. I for one will carry on the tradition of the Iceberg with fiery icy zeal! Cheers. --

Good catch on that VfD. I'll change the result to DELETE right away. That'll teach me to assume that the votes I see are the votes that were cast. ;) I'll make a strong effort to investigate the votes more in the future. Thanks! Carrp | Talk 02:12, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Regarding GRider's 'Socratic' VfD nominations and the ensuing reactions by voters, please read and comment on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/GRider2. Thanks. Radiant _* 10:26, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
Hi, this is just to thank you for supporting my adminship nomination. I really appreciate it. Best, SlimVirgin 00:15, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
Sorry to hear that you think that my biography at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Broughton is unworthy of publication. I think that I've had a worthwhile and interesting life. I may be biased in this regard, but I know that there are other people who feel the same way.
Of greater importance is the "equal time" issue. If you're going to list one candidate in a political race, you're obligated to list them all. Otherwise, you risk being branded as one of those people who believe that only incumbents are entitled to win elections. And, there are plenty of people on this planet who believe that I'm more significant than Joyce Murray. If you don't believe this, I can ask a few of them to post comments in this space.
Hi, TenOfAllTrades:
FYI, I believe GRider has modified your evidence in the Request for Arbitration involving him. See this history.

It should be remembered that there is no two-thirds rule and VfD is not a straight vote but a search for consensus. Personally the standard I generally use is that if two or three respected users advance a reasonable case for a page to be kept then I usually do not deleted it (there are of course some exceptions). In the vast majority of cases this gets the same result as the two-thirds rule, but in some cases such as Charlie Beresford the outcome is different. - SimonP 16:21, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
