== Do not understand reversion ==

Recieved a message from you re a reversion. The reason is unclear. As you can see by the discussion page the editing had been discussed for some time with no one objecting and several agreeing that not only was the material removed irrelevant, but also origenal research that cited a blog written by the person who had added the material origenally. Please explaine to me the problem with this revision if it was for content. If I made a technical error I would also appreciate any advice in that regard. Thank you. ] (]) 07:25, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

==2014 FIFA World Cup==

We both got had on the ] page. Someone added future results and we didn't see it and ended up helping the vandalism along. Oh well, an anonymous IP fixed it all. ] (]) 17:35, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

== Edit summary ==

was confusing because "sp" normally refers to spelling; even if you meant you added a space, that's not really true either&mdash;you added a line break, broke up a paragraph, whatever. Also, you didn't move; anything "to" the lead; that sentence was already in the lead&mdash;you moved it to the beginning of the paragraph. I'm not saying this just to be an ass; rather, I wasted time looking for where in the body you moved the sentence from (because you don't move things to the lead, you summarize them there), only to discover you didn't actually do what you had said you did. A better ES would have been, "Paragraphing; moved sentence", or even, "Para; moved sentence". -] (]) 04:03, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

== Your input is requested ==

As you have recently edited ], I am writing to request your input at the article talk page, sections Vexed and disputed are the ones which outline the current issue. Many thanks in advance for your time. ]<small><sup>]</sup>]</small> 21:33, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

== Objections to evolution ==

It's pretty annoying that the FAC was archived so quickly, especially since the comments seemed to indicate that the reviewers didn't really know what they were talking about. (So do you not speak English in Canada, or do you lack creationist? And the whole AiG/CMI split?) That said, I don't think the article was quite ready for FAC yet. Lots of little minutia that needs to be done, in terms of MOS compliance. Figured there was lots of time for that though. And, I suppose, the intro needs to be written in such a way that it's clear what the article is all about. Still, that could have been fixed quickly enough while at FAC, IMO. ] (]) 04:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

== Your MedCom request ==

You mention that "ArbCom may be better" - please note that ArbCom does not arbitrate content disputes, but editor behavior. Do you feel that MastCell has acted inappropriately? ]<small><sup>]</sup>]</small> 16:38, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

:Not quite, as I said in the MedCom I want decisions to be somewhat binding and official. As the core argument is a continuation of the original MedCom (perceived overwhelming consensus vs. primary evidence), I thought ArbCom would be the next step in the resolution process. There is one aspect of MastCell's behavior I do find unacceptable, referencing a strong statement with a reference that simply does not support it; then removing my to indicate it needs to be addressed. I allowed MastCell's new version to stay, simply to avoid escalation. It remains unsupported by the ref in the lead of a GA article.

:Mediation can address this, but ArbCom can enforce it. The goal however is not to punish anyone. It's absolutely possible I'm overstating Dolle's significance to the ABC issue by asking for it to be in the Lead as its recent/indirectly covers ABC. But MastCell has decided to preemptively overstate the opposite way, I guess to compensate for perceived lack of NPOV (improper weight) on my part in incorporating evidence of an ABC association. The problem is there is a disconnect between the NCI consensus MastCell editorializes toward, and the evidence. This tension is not fabricated by myself or pro-life Brind. It's the reality, one I intend to convey with nuanced up-to-date accuracy only Misplaced Pages can provide if given a chance, rather than black and white ideologies. - ]] 02:31, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm thinking it should be mentioned as one of the most acclaimed bits of dialog in the film, and also noted that Hauer came up with the line. I'm hoping perhaps you might be able to help dig out sources to that effect? I vaguely recall Harrison Ford being jokingly annoyed about Hauer having the best line, and having come up with it too. Would appreciate your input, but I'll trawl through the references already in the article and see what I can dig up. -- ] (]) 19:18, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
