Hello Arcayne. You seem to have a few ownership issues with the above page. I made one revert to remove the information about scrubbing which was well supported by the talk page in the lead, yet you reverted (I'm going to revert that again because what you've done is completely against consensus). I also note you've done this for basically anything you don't agree with. As it happens, you've hit three reverts in the last 24 hours so please don't revert again or you'll be blocked.

Tell the truth...

Yeah, tell the truth...you really are cutting out to watch Survivor...8^D, the VP debate isn't until they vote someone off. Goes off at 9 eastern right?. Time to go make dinner and then watch these folks starve. At least on Survivor, you get to hear the conniving thoughts from the individuals in confession! Have a good evening Arcayne, ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 23:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

gah, reality tv? penny-pinching producers decide to cut out writers and use cameramen and props to create drama? No thanks. Crap, did I just also describe combat ops?
I am back, but dead tired, so i am turning in. I will probably dream of a two headed monster from Fargo, ND.
Goodnight, User-talk page. Goodnight moon-like image of puzzle globe. Goodnight vandals seeking to evade blocks. Goodnight light humor and yellow journalism. ;) - Arcayne () 06:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Who is from Fargo? I think you may have described most of the evening news and not just combat ops. The debate wasn't very eventful, imho, but I do wish she would cut those bangs before she gets stabbed in the eyes. ;) ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 12:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Heyo

Heyo, I've made another small edit which I hope is uncontested based on the previous comments. See my reply on the talk page and let's address the points we're concerned about. Cheers, Jaakobou 17:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

DYK for I'm a PC

Updated DYK query On 5 October, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article I'm a PC, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

groovy. :D - Arcayne () 02:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it was the other commentators over at the talk page who were imputing bad faith, not me ... I hadn't been aware of the long disagreements over this, and had I not jumped to the bottom of the page I might have ignored it. Although, I did feel too many "how ironic!" quotes were included, when MS's response makes the same point that the Economist made when it reported on MS's signing of Crispin ... that of course the ad agency was going to put the ads together on Macs; that's all most of them have. I have no objections to the article including stuff about the data being erased; that's notable and not the first time MS created bad publicity for itself by trying to conceal things like that.

(If Microsoft really wants to stick it in Apple's ear, they should have done it in the portable-MP3-player segment, where they could easily take advantage of the Zune's underappreciated advantages over the iPod: They could have the same white backdrop, two guys come out, one in a black turtleneck and pants, the other in a T-shirt and jeans: "Hi, I'm an iPod" "And I'm a Zune", then a bunch of short sketches highlighting the Zune's advantages (FM radio; wireless syncing) and the iPod's disadvantages (iTunes' increasing tendency to bloatware, the lack of long-term physical durability of an iPod). They've got a brand idenitity all waiting there for them that's the reverse of the dynamic in the personal-computing market; using Apple's trope would not only take advantage of this but show Apple that they're not always the cool alternative they're pitching themselves as.

Thanks for the input, Danie; you are right. others seemed to be acting the tool. You were blameless. :) - Arcayne () 13:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
I believe that is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about my input. Thanks very much. - Arcayne () 13:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm a PC

Hello Arcayne. You seem to have a few ownership issues with the above page. I made one revert to remove the information about scrubbing which was well supported by the talk page in the lead, yet you reverted (I'm going to revert that again because what you've done is completely against consensus). I also note you've done this for basically anything you don't agree with. As it happens, you've hit three reverts in the last 24 hours so please don't revert again or you'll be blocked.

The problem is the undue weight given to it. I'm nore than happy for it to be in the critisism section, but the second mention in the lead pushes it over the line into unacceptable undue weight in my opinion. The WP:lead guideline would suggest it might be ok to add it in, however the consensus on the talk page is that this would go against WP:UNDUE. As you're aware, WP:UNDUE comes from WP:NPOV which is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies. In this case, the undue (and therefore NPOV) concerns fair outweigh that of inclusion based on WP:LEAD. That's my opinion and take on it anyway and I hope it helps explain my position. Ryan Postlethwaite 16:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
