| After I offered to jump in on the GA review, ] posted a comprehensive review before I could post my concerns. He subsequently became emersed in editing the article himself. I have posted a comment on the GA1 page suggesting that I be the one to close out the review, although I will defer to you if you are still interested. Apparently, we have now developed a nomenclature problem. The article says that in 1968, "women's basketball" ceased to be an accepted term for "netball." In fact, New Zealand had a women's basketball team compete in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Its victory against the Mali team drew favorable press attention. However, the nominator insists that any suggestion or comment that I make using the phrase "women's basketball" be refractored as ambiguous or intended to be read as "netball." What is your preference, as the ball is in your court? ] (]) 03:05, 20 March 2011 (UTC) | |||

| :I'm not getting why this nomenclature is even an issue because after 1968 (or more precisely 1970) "Women's Basketball" and "Netball" are two completely different terms, and i guess its now globally accepted, whether it is U.S., U.K., Australia or South Asia. What's the point of ambiguity, anyone who's advocating that using both "Women's Basketball" and "Netball" together is generating some kind of ambiguity than they should provide some valid proof, the proof which should mention that still in Commonwealth Nations term Women's Basketball is treated as Netball. For me you're the only reviewer of the article if ] doing your job, than it is his choice. I think it would be better if you do it by your own way. If you need any of my assistance than i'd be pleased to help you. Tell me if you need any help. ]<sup>]</sup> 11:15, 20 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::I could use a bit of help. Perhaps you could place a paragraph on the Netball/GA1 page under the "GA procedures" heading indicating that you are designating me, unless you want to do it yourself. I am very tollerant of people disagreeing with me, of using typographical errors in communicating with me, or even using British spelling and vocabulary. However, I have never before seen a Misplaced Pages editor try to avoid difficult quesitons by changing the subject to ask why I am using American spellings or wiki-mark-up language to communicate with her. Thanks, ] (]) 11:25, 20 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :::I'll do it now, i thought it was clear to all that you would be the only reviewer of the article. Racepacket, this is the same problem i was facing with her, she was just trumpeting that she couldn't understand me, i'm less communicative, she's unable to understand mine language, i'm Indian, etc. It was the first time that somebody blamed my language as obstacle for comprehensive communication and KnowIG supported her because he's British, well it doesn't matter to me now. Perhaps my note will clear some sort of misunderstanding about you position in the procedure of this article review. ]<sup>]</sup> 12:35, 20 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Now why would I do that. Racepackets American and so is Laura and Laura also lives in Aus. The only one being racist is you Bill. And if you know anything about GB, USA and Aus we have a rather common rivalery. Since I have worked with many nations on here its a bit rich you saying I supported her cause I'm British. i'm disgusting by your comments. see ] ] (]) 19:03, 21 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Me Racist, is it some kind of malicious joke, i'm Indian we even don't know what is Racism (its a metaphor). You're misinterpreting my comment, i was trying to tell that you supported Laura because you're British and both use same language (Laura at least using now). The actual racist here is you, who are repeatedly slanging me. And you even can't imagine how much i know about U.S. and U.K. and i've nothing to do with your common rivalry. I didn't use a single abusive word against you, and you're saying you'll appeal to an admin, actually i'll go to admin for your such misbehavior against me if you won't stop. ]<sup>]</sup> 20:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC) | |||

| :::::::At least my English is well good that i don't have to correct my spellings repeatedly, and i didn't say that i don't know what racism is, it was a metaphor (if you know what it is in spite of slanging). And i'm not going to give you any proof, but you're just misinterpreting mine comment.]<sup>]</sup> 20:38, 21 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::::Another accusation. Wow, keep it up, I maybe able to write a book on you. Firstly your saying your not racist. What a load of tosh. Whatever definition you have is bollocks. Racism is any negative comment towards one race from another doesn't matter if your black white, or halfcast or a different nation. So your comments are definatly racist. Secondly i am not misinterpeting you because as soon as I commented you tried to retract it by hiding behind the fact that your Indian and your English is poor, which I don't believe one second. Your English is fine, hence your name Bill william compton which comes from a book. You knew what you said and your trying anyway to duck. ] (]) 20:43, 21 March 2011 (UTC) | |||

This section is for showing Wiki's viewers that "''yes there were some controversies''", it doesn't support that "''these controversies were genuine''", i'm again saying this article doesn't say that The Guardian was right about the movie but whether right or wrong we just can't ignore its point; yes i can do one thing that if you'll provide me some other reliable sources (which support your point of view) than i can add their points also, which may give weightage to film-makers view.]<sup>]</sup> 10:09, 21 March 2011 (UTC) | |||

No need to stick a template on when Race had already announced his intensions and 2 of the 3 contributors had also commented and asked you to comment under that section.

Please don't call me racist, these things are far behind to racism. I'm not making any rule and don't want any sunshine; i didn't know slanging is the part of conversation on Misplaced Pages (at least i didn't experience it before you), i'll confirm with any senior wikipedian about it. I still purpose a hand of friendship, i'm here on Misplaced Pages to serve the community not to fall in such conflicts and arguments.

| :Right as a token I shall go and withdraw my complaint about you. Secondly I don't go looking for trouble, you started accusing me because infairness you don't understand the western culture of slang etc. I suggest that you don't take it too heart but not everything or everyone you deal with is going to be how you like it. Nor do we understand/am aware of what is and is not offensive to you. If someone uses slang they are not being offensive although they might be. The trick is not to over react. There is no rule on wiki against slang words on talk page, but there are rules about not writing in English. So since slang would be English you would have to lump it. Thirdly I don't see why i have to justify myself when you were given specific instructions. From my dealings with you, you and me had a bit of needle and when you did the notice it seemed very much attacking towards me. I over reacted I understand you now. Sorry. Fourthly you are more than welcome to do GA and edit netball. Just don't go through and use every MOS thing cause you can implment it and its tedious. If you want to do GA reviews then ask me or racepack and we'll let you do one and then jump in if we feel your going OTT with it/or not going far enough. :) ] (]) 21:26, 21 March 2011 (UTC) | |||
