Way of the Peaceful Warrior merge into Dan Millman

Hello, Mr. Solar! I had proposed a merger of Way of the Peaceful Warrior into Dan Millman and User:CanadianCaesar seemed to think that this had been discussed and decided against at an earlier time, but could not find the discussion on this one. Since you seem to be the person who created both of these articles, it seemed the most polite thing to check with you. Do you have any strong opinions one way or another on a merge?

My reasons for the merge are

1. Book titles with capitalization issues frequently need multiple redirects
2. Some works make more sense in the context of an author's total body of work (such as Robert Kiyosaki)
3. Having multiple pages for every title may or may not be appropriate (consider Thoreau)
4. Given that Millman's first book is the groundwork for his entire PW series and ties into his other work, all of the above apply.

The logical thing to me seems to incorporate Way of the Peaceful Warrior into Dan Millman (as I have done) and then to make Way of the Peaceful Warrior a redirect to Dan Millman much as Way of the peaceful warrior currently is.

Any suggestions you may have would be most appreciated. - Rorybowman 23:15, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

The merge seems fair to me, and in this context helps to create a stronger Dan Millman article overall. I am unaware of any decision in the past against merging the two. Thanks. - Solar 23:52, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt reply. I've completed the merge with a redirect from Way of the Peaceful Warrior to Dan Millman. Cheers! Rorybowman 01:22, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject anti-war, Article improvement drive

February 15, 2003 anti-war protest an article from the WikiProject Anti-war, which you are listed as a member of, has been nominated for the Article Improvement Drive (by me ).

It is an article about a day of much importance both to the history of the anti-war movement and to general discussion of the Iraq war. With a little work from experienced editors it could gain FA status. If you would like to see it improved please vote for it at Make "February 15, 2003 anti-war protest" the subject of an Article Improvement Drive--JK the unwise 13:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Templates

Hi! Thanks for the welcome earlier. I have a question: where can I find a list of templates for use in a personal page? I could just copy some of yours via the edit page, but we're not very similar. --Chodorkovskiy 15:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

for welcoming me. I'm not a pagan, but, unlike most of the rest of the world, I'm into religious tolerance. If you'll ever get in trouble with some fundamentalists wishing the "bastards to hell", just send them over to my page. The Infidel 19:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Capital Punishment

Saw your comment on the Capital Punishment talk page. I agree with your point about avoiding Americo-centrism in the article. However I didn't understand what you said about "restitution" - something you wrote got distorted? Unfortunately the article has been vandalised so often that it's difficult to see who the genuine contributors are. Can you enlighten me? Caravaca 14:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Your restitution point is still easily rescuable. When the anonymous IP editor did his last delete of your sentences, I didn't want to get into an edit war. So I put in the POV-section tag, and just beneath it, in the source code but not visible on the page, I inserted the old text between <!-- --> tags in the hope that somebody else would reinstate the NPOV version. A bit unconventional, but with so many edits a revert would have been impossible. You are very welcome to rescue it and delete the POV version. I hope there's nothing else of yours which I disturbed during my "be bold" adventures with the article, but let me know if there is. Caravaca 05:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Listen

I am entitled to my opinion on a talk page, surely. As a scientist and long-time watchdog of pseudoscience, my opinion is valid. I would appreciate it if you would stop trying to prohibit me from having an opinion on a discussion page. Quinkysan 07:28, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank You

Thanks for the welcome! It made me feel at home. How do you get all those cool things on your page? How do I create my own page? I would love to know! Smartestbrunette 22:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin

You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Misplaced Pages which are shared and which create List of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.

There is a Misplaced Pages:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.

Thank you,
