George W. Bush as Governor of Texas

Hi. Sorry I didn't clarify it on the talk page before; I've listed several examples where I think NPOV has been overlooked at Talk:George W. Bush as Governor of Texas#POV tag. --J. Atkins (talk - contribs) 14:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked over your responses to the unblock requests, I would like to comment that I was very impressed with the tone and clarity of your responses (in the face of a passionate, probably well meaning, but badly in violation of core policy editor). I have not seen any barnstars on your userpage, but if you are in the habit of receiving them let me know on my talkpage and I will provide you one in (further) recognition of the good work I saw today.

Your words are plenty enough recognition for me; if you were inclined in the future to present something shiny that would be fine with me but not necessary. I can always make a page somewhere for them. (I have one somewhere around here....) What I'm really hoping is that we can somehow channel Kevin's efforts to improvement of the encyclopedia. The energy is clearly there. Thanks for the kind words!  Frank  |  talk  01:37, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would also like to express my appreciation, and ask you for a favor. The Sally Perdue article is currently at Kevin J's revision, which contains original research. I would really rather not revert it myself (because he'll probably just undo my changes in a week, and I would like to avoid an edit war), and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be posting on the noticeboard under a topic marked as resolved. Could you check it out for me? Thanks! -- plushpuffin (talk) 00:35, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I confess I wasn't looking over as much content as tone and interaction in all of this, so it will take a little digging for me to get the proper feel of a specific article, but I will take a look. Thanks!  Frank  |  talk  01:37, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My goodness, but that article is a mess, isn't it! I'll have to put this on my to-do list. Do please ping me again; I have a busy day planned tomorrow but this one needs help.  Frank  |  talk  01:42, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking care of the Sally Perdue article. -- plushpuffin (talk) 17:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome; if you have other ideas or sources, please jump in or let me know.  Frank  |  talk  12:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Kevin j is back as 65.112.121.29 and reverting your edits to Sally Perdue. Does this page need to be protected? -- plushpuffin (talk) 19:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am prepared to take a "wait-and-see" attitude. There is no need to rush into protecting. I reverted and placed a note on the page; so far no more has been done. (I want to stress: that's just my opinion at the moment and I don't mind if you make a request at WP:RFPP. This is especially true if I don't happen to be around next time you place a note about this.)  Frank  |  talk  20:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think I'm actually going to take a step back and remove those few pages from my watchlist. I have a tendency to take a lot of things too seriously, and I don't want to get emotionally involved in a silly edit war over a stub/start-class article. Thanks again. -- plushpuffin (talk) 20:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I feel the same way about Stephanie Tubbs Jones, but I haven't un-watchlisted quite yet :-) I will say this about the Perdue article, though, as far as I can see, it's done, not a stub/start-class article. There doesn't seem to be much else to say about her.  Frank  |  talk  20:08, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What the hell are you talking about, "done?" It's missing a whole slew of information concerning her role in the war of Dwarven aggression. But, I'm too close to that particular conflict to make reliably NPOV edits regarding that subject. -- plushpuffin (talk) 20:15, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think I get it... :-)  Frank  |  talk  20:18, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thank you for fielding this question for me while I was busy deleting the vandalism in question. I appreciate your timely help! --Kralizec! (talk) 15:52, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure; glad to help!  Frank  |  talk  15:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AOR

Hello. I am not the best person to ask on the subject as I got sick of the drama and support from administrators and arbitrators very quick, but a good place to start is here, followed by here, then here.

The other user that opposes based on being open to the recall process alone, no doubt, does so on the grounds of Arbitrator remarks on the matter. SashaNein (talk) 15:45, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quiet Cars Prius

The existing section on quiet cars is little more than a statement of one side, the advocates want. Worse, the Lotus, a competing car company, has proposed a part that does not impact their product lines but would increase the price of a Prius.

There has been a hearing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the public record is available including the submitted materials. This includes what is missing from this write-up, the opposition report.

I'm here as long as it takes and have no problem with enlisting the help of my fellow hybrid electric owners. But editing this section to present just one side is not in the interest of sharing the facts and data. --- Bob Wilson —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bwilson4web (talkcontribs) 17:56, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm Speaking From An IP Address Me and Kevin J Have Shared, And He Is Right About Sally Perdue

Sally Perdue "revealed" absolutely nothing about having a true affair with Clinton. Your edits to the page about her "revealling she had an affair" are unproven baloney. You're just as bad as that embarrassing Sarah Palin editor that internationally embarrassed Wikipedia last week to present such nonsense as a proven fact. I know Kevin J, and don't call me a "sock puppet" for saying he's unreliable. The IP address we use is from a public computer, and it's used by probably 100 different people daily. For me, the Sarah Palin article was enough, and I think it's time to make Wikipedia less of a political strategist website. YUIP78 (talk) 20:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
