License tagging for File:Watchmensch cvr.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Watchmensch cvr.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:06, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, non-responsive robot. I've addressed the issue, fixing the licensing. - Arcayne () 23:11, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

WP:ANI and the Daybreak (Battlestar Galactica) article

I think it best if another mediator is contacted, and resolution of the content issues pursued. I do not believe that the ANI discussion is going to advance any further and it may be best to step back from the article until some resolution is achieved. I am copying this message to the other two article contributors who posted to ANI. LessHeard vanU (talk) 19:27, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Task force

Task forces are like basically "sub-wikiprojects" that usually adopt most of the procedures of the "parent" project. So at WP:VG we have task forces like WP:VG/GTA for Grand Theft Auto, for example. For a TV example, see Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Television/The X-Files task force. Since most WikiProjects use the WPBannerMeta for their tags it's fairly easy to hang off the coattails by adding a task force paramater like {{WikiProject Television|terminator=yes}}. I think it's probably best to start as a task force and then evolve into a WikiProject iff there is a lot of interest, rather than start as a WikiProject and get merged into a task force if there isn't. Feel free to add me as a member if you create a Terminator task force. –xeno 21:24, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

You know how you "unashamedly stole" CanadianCaesar's page format?

Would you mind if I did the same to yours? --Dominus Noster (talk) 17:15, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Not really my permission to give, but if you did so, I wouldn't mind. Note that I changed things around a bit. :) - Arcayne () 17:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Why thank you. --Dominus Noster (talk) 20:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Santa Claus

Apologies it was late, but I finally posted a potential revision for the lede. David T Tokyo (talk) 07:32, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

'Bold'

Respectfully as always, I disagree with your assertion in your edit summary a few minutes ago. Obama's policies nowadays of spending money through the stimulous packages are no doubt bold. Though tried during the Great Depression, the amounts of money that FDR spent versus those which Obama is spending are very different, which is no doubt also very bold. Supply side had never before been implemented on the scale that Reagan implemented it; of course the policies were bold. They were new. They hadn't been done. People (let alone professional economists) didn't know if they were going to work. That is the essence of bold -- taking very big risks.

Respectfully, I am asking that you revert yourself until we discuss the issue on the talk page. As I said in my edit summary, the burden is on the editor (or editors) who want to make a change to a long-standing statement to do so on the talk page and establish a consensus to change it. If that happens, it can then be changed. Thanks, Happyme22 (talk) 03:43, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay, let's take this to the talk page. Happyme22 (talk) 04:27, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Edit war note

I shouldn't have to tell you this as you're an experienced editor, but please do not continue edit warring at Persian Gulf naming dispute. You should by using the article's talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus, rather than pointless revert wars. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Nja 08:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I've responded on your talk page about this. - Arcayne () 16:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Cheers. I also warned the other user on their talk page and indicated to them that persisting in an edit war will result in them being blocked. If they do not engage on the talk pages and start up reverting again then let me know, or report to WP:AN3. Thanks, Nja 17:36, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Also, in response to this: please remember to AGF. Don't assume things which aren't true. I've considered the content dispute and I believe the issue will be best handled by telling the offending user directly on their talk page that they must use talk pages to work out a consensus. Then if they don't; block. Page protection is far from the less disruptive way to go about this. You may disagree, but that's no reason to not assume good faith towards me.

Daybreak (Battlestar Galactica) mediation.

Hi Arcayne,—

I've offered to mediate Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2009-04-14/Daybreak (Battlestar Galactica), a dispute to which you are a party. I'd like to offer you the opportunity to object to my involvement in the dispute before I proceed, and would thus request that you assent or dissent on the case page.

Looking forward to working with you,

AGK 13:32, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank!

Hey Arcayne, thanks for the help and the few lessons! Uirauna (talk) 13:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Personal attack

I have removed your personal attack from Misplaced Pages:Editor assistance/Requests. If you cannot discuss the matter without implying that I will abuse the admin tools, you shoudn't post at all. I am personally sick of having to go past this kind of crap when trying to discuss content, without other editors throwing mud around about regarding an unrelated issue that happened months ago. — Edokter • Talk • 10:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
