Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:28, 30 September 2006

Anyone want to discuss my edits? Do so on my discussion page. I'll justify why I do what I do.

Talk

I mostly edit for clarity, grammar and good referencing, I'm a new wikipedian, so I'm still learning.

Personal commentary

Please don't continue to make comments like this or this to Mystar or any other user. The first veers a bit close to a personal attack, and the general tone of both these and some of your other comments is unnecessarily incivil. I realize that there are substantial ongoing issues, but engaging in a back-and-forth that can appear taunting will not solve those issues in a manner appropriate to Misplaced Pages. You may feel provoked, particularly by veiled threats like that regarding your location, but keep in mind that personal commentary on other users is discouraged regardless of their past conduct. As a general rule, being right on substantive matters does not excuse incivil expressions of that rightness. The various forms of dispute resolution are preferable to antagonistic exchanges, and we'll all be better served if you turn to them rather than continuing a barbed discussion. Please note that this has nothing to do with your article edits and nothing to do with the arguments you make about content; it is entirely about communication with other editors. Thanks for any help you can provide. Brendan Moody 05:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Sure. It was getting boring anyway. WLU 11:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Snide commets are unproductive. I have to try hard not to do it myself (with an instance or two of me failing in that) but doing so only adds to the cycle. In the interest of my sanity I've elected to simply stop interacting with Mystar, I would recommend you also take a break. NeoFreak 17:48, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll take a break from snideness and stick with editing. Thanks for your advice over the past couple weeks BTW. WLU 19:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Of course. I'm not going to stop editing either and neither should you or anyone that wants to contribute to wikipedia first and foremost. Cheers. NeoFreak 20:06, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

MBF Pages

Okayyyy, looks like some interesting stuff happened there, but nevermind. I was thinking of expanding the MBF entries to match those for other fictional series with entries for the races, possible locations and a Major Characters and Minor Characters thread. I'll be happy to look at this, but I do have outstanding commitments to the ASoIaF pages first (most notably that Strongholds page, which I hope to get around to soon). But certainly expanding the MBF pages to bring them up to the standard of other fictional universes' pages (yes, including SoT) is a good idea.--Werthead 17:39, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what all the 'y's signify, but if it's 'cause the content is incomplete or somewhat inaccurate, yeah I know. I'm trying to keep the content on par with the books as of Midnight Tides so it doesn't give away lots of plot. Any corrections or contributions are welcome and appreciated, I'm running on memory and I haven't read the books recently. If ever you have time, go nuts 'cause there's tons of room to add content. WLU 17:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Just realized the 'y's might be in reference to the AfD notice. So far it's like, 7 to 1, with two people changing their minds towards keep. Interesting is a mild way of putting things.WLU 17:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

It's a British thing. When encountering a situation which is midly bemusing, stratching out the 'kay' part of 'okay' is an audible sign of it. It means: "Right, this was weird, move on." I've got some more editing to do on ASoIaF but will be checking in on the MBF pages at some point. We need new summaries for the books as well, since someone's taken an objection to the summaries we have for the first book.--82.22.43.147 00:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Werthead I presume? I'm mostly adding extra background content at this point, I've added pages for the T'lan Imass, Tiste Andii, as well as Liosan, Edur to come, Jaghut, K'Chain Che'Malle and Forkrul Assail. Once I've added the Edur page I'll start looking into the plot summaries. WLU 01:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

fruitfully involved?

I'm very sorry but "fruitfully involved" would denote having added to and built content. Nay all you have done is to condemn and precipitate an edit war. Your wholesale removal of mass content will not be taken lightly. You have more than established your disdain and negative disposition towards anything Goodkind. So any edits you make are to be considered negative action. You have added no content; you have added nothing but arguments. If you have something positive and worthwhile to add, by all means please enlighten us and add. But just because you do not like Goodkind, his works or me in no way gives you page ownership rights. Please stop making this thing personal and turning this into an edit war. As I have stated Runch and I have set up a wiki project. We are working on this content. I’m asking that you allow us to please finish the work with out your vandalism --Mystar 22:28, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
