Proof by Assertion?
I'm a little confused about Flyer22 being reported here [1]. I'm not that familiar with Wikiquette so I'm not sure what exactly it is she did wrong here [2]. Are we not allowed to reply to other editor's comments and "votes" during this process? Thanks! Rocksey (talk) 22:30, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Some was a little off topic but ultimately there are no limitations about much you can write in an afd, though i think summarizing can be beneficial. --neon white talk 23:47, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, just to be clear, Flyer22 didn't do anything wrong besides go off topic? She isn't "guilty" of proof by assertion? Rocksey (talk) 00:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- I happen to believe I remained on-topic, except for in the beginning when I went on my little rant about that article being created by an inexperienced Wikipedian editor who does not have a good grasp on most or even several of Wikipedia's policies yet and who knew I was already going to create that article. But oh well. I did not do anything so wrong that it needed reporting, which Neon white has made clear. Flyer22 (talk) 13:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- I was referring to the small comment "I point out that Paul75 feels this way about all fictional couple or supercouple articles." that was about another editor and not about the subject. Try to stay away from such comments, they have no bearing on the result so are pointless. Afds, like the rest of wikipedia are decided by a clear consensus based on policies. I'm not saying Flyer22 was doing this but if an editor does merely state an opinion over and over again without backing it up with policy, it isn't going to carry much weight when the afd is closed. The closer is going to look for points based on policy. As far as i can see there is no etiquette rule that says this is wrong, it's just ineffective. --neon white talk 14:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- And I "hear" you. I was backing up my statements with policy -- its WP:Notability policy, a policy I saw Paul75 clearly overlooking due to his bias in regards to these types of articles. It's clear that even after it was fixed up, he was not willing to change his stance. I simply do not understand editors like that and do not feel that they are what is best for Wikipedia. If I see an ulterior motive in a deletion debate, yes, I do point it out.
- That said, I do get your point. And thanks for the advice. Flyer22 (talk) 17:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Please remember to assume good faith with other editors. --neon white talk 01:54, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

- Flyer22 if you continue to make personal attacks on me, accusing me of bias and implying I deliberately set about to destroy your articles, I will take this matter further. Disagreeing with your opinion does NOT mean I am biased. If that was the case I would have clashed with you with over every single soap opera article you have ever been in involved in. As memory serves me correct, we have only ever clashed over two articles Supercouples and List of supercouples. You know the rules of Wikipedia - assume good faith, please stop these persistent attacks on me, and please, as I know you will, do not counter with a response that I persistently attack you. Stop seeing criticism or suggestions on some soap related articles as some kind of unspeakable crime. Paul75 (talk) 02:25, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- The editor has been warned about assuming good faith. --neon white talk 13:12, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- Paul, saying "if you continue to make personal attacks on me, accusing me of bias and implying I deliberately set about to destroy your articles, I will take this matter further" is a threat. Do not threaten me.
- The editor has been warned about assuming good faith. --neon white talk 13:12, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- That said, I cannot help it that I feel you are biased when it comes to these articles. Yes, we clashed on the Supercouple and List of fictional supercouples articles, and I know what you said during those clashes. I also know that the deletion of an article here at Wikipedia should not be about opinion; it should be about whether the article has merit to stand on its own. The Reese Williams and Bianca Montgomery article clearly did/does and yet you still "voted" Delete. In fact, you did not change your Delete "vote" even after the article was fixed up by Rocksey. I mean, what am I supposed to think of your involvement in that deletion debate? Even the editor who nominated that article for deletion saw that he was wrong after it provided notability and was fixed up by Rocksey. I later fixed it up even more after that. Saying "disagreeing with your opinion does NOT mean I am biased. If that was the case I would have clashed with you with over every single soap opera article you have ever been in involved in." also does not make me think that differently about you on this matter. I mean, we would have likely agreed on a lot regarding the soap opera articles I have been involved in here, considering that most of these soap opera articles are a mess. It is not like I have fixed up every soap opera article I have ever been involved in here.
- I do not see criticism or suggestions on some soap opera-related articles as some kind of unspeakable crime. You remember, don't you, that I was open to the changes you wanted to make to the List of fictional supercouples article? It was one of the two fellow editors maintaining that article with me that acted like you were doing an unspeakable crime. In fact, I thank you for stumbling across that article and doing what you did to help it, even the way you started out there by nominating it for deletion when it was simply List of supercouples. I even later thanked you and AniMate then.
- I do apologize, Paul, for making you feel like public enemy #1. I do not want to continue to have you as an enemy here, and I sometimes like your strict attitude regarding some of these articles. Flyer22 (talk) 19:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
If you could spare the time, could you rejoin the discussion over at Talk:Interactive fiction#Third_Opinion? The discussion has continued. I would be interested in hearing your further thoughts, and Thibbs has asked as well. — Alan De Smet | Talk 21:43, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Article in need: Rites of Spring (band)
Thank you for trying to get the band Rites of Spring placed in the right location. I tried that before, only to be shouted down by some other editors and I gave up. Here's the thing: people keep messing with it. One guy went on a rampage after his speedy delete was rejected ([3]) and people keep moving it around and creating redirects. Today, I spent 2 hours fixing a bunch of broken redirects. Can you see about getting the page location locked by an administrator? I have no idea and you seem knowledgeable and helpful.--Emotional Wiki Dude (talk) 21:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- I believe that it was correct before. According to the guidelines, disambiguation is only for where articles would have the same title not for similar titles and only for where there are more than 2 articles or where there is no obvious primary topic. In this case the titles are not the same so disambiguation is not essential, although it is conceivable that for someone to search 'rites of spring' when wanting 'the rite of spring' by mistake and that's why the link exists on the band article and i believe is sufficient. I cannot think of any reason how someone would find it confusing. --neon white talk 21:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
excessive?
If you will pardon the pun - WOW. Removing references because they need improving seems a bit excessive. Am I missing something? cygnis insignis 10:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- They can easily be put back once they are verifiable. --neon white talk 17:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Oh, god, the irony!
The quote on your User page... are you aware that Albert Einstein was referring to you when he stated that? 204.112.216.94 (talk) 03:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Emo Discussion
Those kids still defending their claim (emo is a subculture) never grow old even as we prove it, time and time again, there is none. "Arguing with a foll proves there are two." I hope they will learn their mistake.
