Commonwealth vs. American English

Q:When are you guys gonna learn to spell ?

A:This grievance comes from those who aren't aware that British and American spellings sometimes differ.

We've been at the centre of some rancour, but we're not going to take offence or harbour any grievances. The catalogue of complaints won't colour this organisation's programme. It's a grey area anyway. And we don't want to labour the point.

Padding around signature

The added padding of bright color around your sig is kinda intrusive:( Could you re-consider? DMacks 03:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Using slang like "sig" and "kinda" is offensive. Could you reconsider? t h b 03:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

"The added padding of bright color around your signature is very intrusive:( Could you re-consider?" DMacks 03:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I could, but I'm not going to. Sorry if you're offended, that was certainly not my intent, especially since I don't know you. t h b 03:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks kinda reddish browny to me, not offensive at all! 8-)--Light current 04:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Light current, it's actually the internet equivalent of Tyrian purple, one of my favorite colors, and certainly not one that I ever thought of as being "bright". Glad to see you haven't left in disgust like some of the other editors, Light current.

Just biding my time! 8-)--Light current 23:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Nurse uniform

The article as written in a load of unencylcopaedic ranting which does nothing to actually describe the cause - I realise I was quite bold, but what is there on the whole needs to go and a properly structured article needs putting in there, which is what I was trying to do. --John24601 06:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I disagree with most of your deletion. Removing the content from an article and leaving subtitles only is different from rewriting it. Feel free to rewrite it. t h b 11:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

The article as is serves little value, however: the content is unencyclopaedic and unreferenced and needs to go, which is why I removed it. If you read my edit summary you'd have seen that I was infact planning to come back and flesh it out over the next couple of days, and invited others also to add. The fact that there is nothing to replace unencylopaedic content immediately doesn't mean that that content can stay until something else is ready! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by John24601 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

AS I said, I disagree with most of your deletion. t h b 23:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm well aware of that, it would be useful if I could understand why you want it kept - I've given my reasons, what have you got to argue against them? You can't seriously say that the article isn't unreferenced, unencyclopaedic, biased original research, can you? --John24601 07:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

You're putting words in my mouth that neither of us wants there. My primary objection is to the deletion of the description of the student uniform. That should stay until replaced even if imperfect. The rambling oppressed masses bs is obviously unencyclopaedic. If you filet a fish and throw away the soft tissue you're left with a skeleton, not a fish. t h b 12:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Your signature

Just FYI the font tag has been deprecated as of HTML 4.0 transitional and I believe eliminated in the XHTML standard. With the effort to XHTML-ize stuff (did you notice the trailing slash in <br />?), you should change your signature from "font" to "span" since all of the data is in the style attibute anyway. Or whatever; I just noticed and decided to bring it to your attention (obviously) --froth 06:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Froth, is this any better? I'm afraid one's age shows after a point and must plead ignorance on this. t h b 12:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah you fixed what I was talking about. I wouldn't say better or worse, I was just being a little pedantic --froth 00:29, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Link Removal

I added the link on the Furniture article to the Dmoz.org directory on Furniture. You deleted the external link and I would like to know why? I am not sure if you are not aware of what Dmoz is what? Dmoz is not a commercial webiste at all, it is the first man-made durectory of web links. There are over 1,400 articles on Misplaced Pages that link to the Dmoz Directory. Please see Open Directory Project for more information about Dmoz and the Open Directory Project. Please make sure that know what you are deleting before making such hasteful edits on Misplaced Pages. Eric 23:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
