Hang on, it is /my edits/ being reverted by others. Imacomp has reverted my edit to 3.2 three times so why has he not been banned from editing? BlueValour 18:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, to show willing I have acceeded to your judgement and abandoned my 'conduct of meetings' edit. BlueValour 18:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Alumni

"You don't have to graduate to be an alumni, according to the definition.". Agreed, although the Alumni Association certainly didn't start bugging me until after I graduated. Actually, the original post was by someone else. I should get into the habit of using {{unsigned}} before adding my own comments. -Dhodges 19:20, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Reference

Ardenn, Under the Embrun page, it has a website for a reference. The part of the website that Misplaced Pages has as a reference has now changed. When I looked at it last, it changed from www.freewebs.com/embrun/history to www.freewebs.com/embrun/thingsonembrun. Loghead1 00:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Ardenn, again, regarding the reference. I have contacted the person who takes care of the reference, and they have changed it so that Misplaced Pages doesn't have to change the name of the reference. Thanks, Loghead1 00:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Saryn Hooks

You participated in the Finola Hackett AfD. Please also join the discussion here: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Saryn Hooks (second nomination). Thank you. - CrazyRussian talk/email 17:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry 'bout that.

Sorry for not signing my comments... I normally do sign, it was just a minor brainfart... and then a copy-and-paste of a minor brainfart. --Gpollock 23:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Freemasonry

Right now I'm mostly nicking templates and layout from WikiProject Japan since they have a really nice system. After that I think the first thing to do is to try to put everything Freemasonry-related we can find in the assessment categories. OzLawyer 15:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

WT:EiC and Canandian colleges & universities

Looked like things were going to heat up there for a while. Thanks for sticking through and continuing to discuss so we could come to a conclusion. While I want to ensure I don't get trapped into suffering from WP:OWN, I also want to make sure the project page stays current, concise, and easy-to-use for both new and old editors and members. Thank you very much for taking on a huge part of the project that so far has obviously been neglected. --Stephane Charette 19:45, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

What?

What are writing about on my talk page? Please write below "Talk here". Imacomp 20:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Awesome Drive by Revert!

"Executed by" is the correct term. "Murdered under" is 100% incorrect, we already had this discussion months ago, it's insulting to holocaust victims to say that they were murdered, sure it's an emotionally charged word, but the word does not put accross the scope of what happened. Executions are done by a goverment, murders are done by people. In this case it was a fanatical goverment executing people for what they were, not fanatical people randomly commiting hate crimes. There is no valid counter-argument to this since it's simply what the words mean. The only possible counter-argument is that the word "executed" doesn't convey the emotion that the word "murdered" does, however that's 100% invalid in encyclopedic writing, wikipedia is an encyclopedia, where we are suppossed to write encyclopedic content, misusing words because they will make the reader feel emotional is not allowed.

If you can show me where murder is defined as a killing carried out by a goverment through laws that they enacted i'll gladly conceed to you. However killings carried out under laws passed by goverments are executions. It's a simple defination issue. Seraphim 05:20, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
