User talk:RebelAt/Sandbox/Firestone Draft

Starting Point

I have started this article draft with the last available version before the mass of reversions and edits which were put in before the page protection.

While this version is still flawed and needs a lot of work, I feel it is the best place to begin this project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RebelAt (talk • contribs)

Appreciated will be any comments on style, content or layout. Please also assist with NPOV comments as I am still a bit vague on how to accurately report something in a totally NPOV way. Mobile 01^Talk 11:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

RebelAt can I edit this sandbox article? Travb (talk) 14:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Travb, I would prefer that no one edit this draft article. I am still working on it and it will change considerably. I am happy to accept any suggestions on article content. Please address any concerns on the discussion page where they can be mutually agreed on. This is only a draft article and not the finished product. I was asked to create this draft which I will do. Once completed we will hold a straw poll or discussion on the article to see if it should indeed replace the current article. As I have said on the FS page, I am leaving Wiki for a while and will be doing only an hour or so a couple of times a week. I need to regain my focus on my family as this whole attack has left me quite drained. Mobile 01^Talk 01:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Again welcome back Mobile 01, I knew you couldnt resist my charms.

First issue: only the offical firestone history is on the page history (from the bridgestone webpage), all other dates have been deleted.

If only those who have a certain POV can edit this page, please don't substitute the real page for this page and claim it has full wikipedia community support. You have claimed this twice before, when the edit history says differently. Travb (talk) 15:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Travb, I want to avoid the possibility of editing getting out of hand again. So rather than apply your edits to this draft, would you mind simply writing here in the talk page, what edits you'd like to see done? Or, if you want, I'll create a draft page, and you can make the Firestone page you've envisioned. Then, we'll have two copies with which to merge into one article, which I hope, will at least satisfy both views on the topic. I very much doubt an article can be made to leave both you and Mobile 01 happy, but I do think we can achieve an end result thats satisfactory. Here's a draft page you can apply your own vision too. ~ (The Rebel At) ~ 15:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
