POV editing

Hey NW, maybe you can help me with another query. I got carried away after reading the newspaper this morning, and added what is probably a POV term to Zimbabwean Fifth Brigade. See if you can spot it without going through the history. ;) Perhaps you care to tweak the writing--after reading the reference. Certainly some of it is encyclopedic. Thanks.

Is there a way to refer to the following quote as anything but an atrocity?

She was 12 years old. She said soldiers from the Fifth Brigade, wearing jaunty red berets, came to her village and lined up her family. One soldier slit open her pregnant aunt’s belly with a bayonet and yanked out the baby. She said her grandmother was forced to pound the fetus to a pulp in a mortar and pestle. Her father was made to rape his mother. Her uncles were shot point blank.

I'm not sure what else one could say. NW (Talk) 18:40, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

This disturbed me for days. There is no depth to which humans won't sink. Thanks for looking at it. Drmies (talk) 05:50, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Unused template removal

My template Template:Vermont High Schools Division IV was rm because it was unused, which is fine except I didn't get a chance to store it anyplace prior to rm. It takes awhile to recreate these things. IV was on tiny schools that haven't yet had articles created. I will just tuck it away on my computer until the school articles are created and they can use this template. But I need it back for a few minutes to do that. Having said that, there may be schools that have since been created where we forgot to bring in the template. In that case, we might want to keep it. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 14:17, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I have undeleted the template and moved it to User:Student7/Vermont High Schools Division IV on the assumption that NW would not mind (sorry for stepping on your toes if I missed something here). You can put {{db-user}} on the page when you are done. Good luck, - 2/0 (cont.) 16:41, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for handling it 2/0. NW (Talk) 18:41, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you. For the record, I have (gulp) redefined it, this time with appropriate links, which it lacked before. I have retained the User:Student/ text template def. If this is wrong. I will move it to a sandbox. Not sure about the difference between a definition with my name and explicit "sandbox" with my name. Student7 (talk) 21:03, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Typo in Acdixon's RfA

I hate to see a typo in an RfA nom of someone I would like to see get the mop, so I thought I'd mention one I noticed in Acdixon's RfA. You have "regularly clearly" when I think you mean "regularly clearing". Mike Christie (talk – library) 01:04, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks :) NW (Talk) 01:16, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Georgia Blizzard of 2011

How did you come to the conclusion to merge? CTJF83 chat 17:26, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

There is notability as part of the larger storm, so merging would seem like (to me, at least) a common sense move so outright deletion was avoided. That's my interpretation at least. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 19:38, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Basically what Ed said. NW (Talk) 17:02, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I got busted on RfA for doing the same thing. There was no clear cut consensus for merge, in fact it was the least !voted option. I'm considering DRV. Should be a no consensus close. CTJF83 chat 21:41, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Take it to DRV if you wish. NW (Talk) 23:18, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I was giving you the courtesy of fixing it first... CTJF83 chat 00:28, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

And I don't see anything to change. DRV might disagree. NW (Talk) 00:44, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
