Anchor Baby reverts

Please DO NOT simply engage in a "revert war" without participating in discussion about this issue on the article's talk page. Also, please take care not to violate the three-revert rule, or else you may end up being temporarily blocked from editing. Richwales 19:16, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I would take the advice above to heart. I see your new to Misplaced Pages and would like to welcome you. If you need assistance with anything - let me know. The rule of thumb is to count to ten before posting or if that doesn't work count to one hundred. I concur with your anchor baby move and will support you in this. I see no reason to use 'pejorative' in the opening context. PS. Don't let this dispute bother you. I am sure you have much to contribute here, BE BOLD AND STRIKE YOUR COURSE, is my personal motto for everything in life (and first part thereof a Misplaced Pages standard!) Best Wishes. --Northmeister 01:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi I invite you back to the talk page for Anchor Baby as we've worked out a consensus among three editors there. I would like your input on the matter, since you were involved in the discussion early on. It would help to solidfy the consensus to have your comments and hopefully support. Thanks. --Northmeister 21:38, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Denver download

Could you please indicate how the term "Denver download" is notable enough for inclusion in the article on Laser Quest? Discussion forums do not qualify as reliable sources, and cannot be used to establish the notability of a term. Googling for +"denver download" +"laser quest" gives only six hits: two forum discussions and four Misplaced Pages mirrors. Aecis 13:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Your own experiences with the term Denver download, or with laser quest in general, are not enough to warrant inclusion of the term. I'm sure it's a real term, what matters is whether it's verifiable. The term "Denver download" is only verifiable if you can point to reliable sources using the term within the context of laser quest. Internet forums are not reliable sources, blogs are not reliable sources, you and I are not reliable sources. Newspapers and magazines otoh would be reliable sources. If you can quote a laser quest magazine using the term, you've come a long way towards establishing verifiability, and probably the notability of the term as well. Aecis 20:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

With regards to your comments basically telling me not to edit the article if I don't play the game, please read our policy against article ownership. Secondly, our policy on verifiability applies to every single article. Insisting on verification of a laser quest related term is not a right limited to people familiar with laser quest. You haven't provided any proof of the notability of this term yet. I hope you understand that we can't just take your word for it. Aecis 20:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
