- A funny edit war that makes me chuckle every time it pops up on my watchlist. At least everybody liked the compromise, there just seems to be an edit war over what that compromise was: (taken from WP:RFC's history)
(cur) (last) 20:20, September 24, 2005 Sam Korn (→User-conduct RfC - how's this for compromise?) (cur) (last) 05:30, September 25, 2005 SlimVirgin (→User-conduct RfC - tweak of Sam's edit) (cur) (last) 12:44, September 25, 2005 Sam Korn m (→User-conduct RfC - again, slight tweak of SV's wording: and make a note from experience) (cur) (last) 15:38, September 25, 2005 FuelWagon (→User-conduct RfC - report the facts of policy. Report the views of policy as views. drop "attitude requirements" for filing RfC.) (cur) (last) 19:43, September 25, 2005 Jayjg m (restore Sam Korns more sensible wording) (cur) (last) 21:02, September 30, 2005 FuelWagon (revert to Sam Korn's negotiated wording.) (cur) (last) 21:06, September 30, 2005 SlimVirgin (rv to consensus version) (cur) (last) 21:10, September 30, 2005 FuelWagon (That's not a "consensus" version, SLimVirgin, that's your version. Reverting to version created by Sam.) (cur) (last) 23:55, September 30, 2005 SlimVirgin (→User-conduct RfC - returned to Sam) (cur) (last) 16:30, October 1, 2005 FuelWagon (revert to Sam's compromise) (cur) (last) 01:52, October 2, 2005 Jayjg m (revert to Sam's compromise) (cur) (last) 03:52, October 2, 2005 SlimVirgin (→User-conduct RfC - many arbitration cases begin as RfCs, instead of many RfCs lead to arbitration, following Sam's comment on talk) (cur) (last) 16:10, October 2, 2005 FuelWagon (despite Jayjg's attempt to call his version "Sam's Version", it isn't. Sam's compromise version was three separate bullets.) (cur) (last) 16:11, October 2, 2005 SlimVirgin m (Reverted edits by FuelWagon to last version by SlimVirgin) (cur) (last) 05:57, October 3, 2005 Carnildo (Removing the disputed paragraph entirely. Maybe this will end it. (fat chance...)) (cur) (last) 04:41, October 6, 2005 Jayjg m (restore important and informative paragraph) (cur) (last) 17:38, October 8, 2005 FuelWagon (reinsert Sam Korn's compromise version. Contains Robert's "cautionary" language and still contains SlimVirgin's "horrendous" opinion.) (cur) (last) 02:17, October 9, 2005 Jayjg m (restore compromise version from talk) (cur) (last) 18:12, October 9, 2005 FuelWagon (→User-conduct RfC - Despite Jayjg's Ministry Of Truth attempt to the contrary, this is the compromise version suggested by Sam Korn on talk.)

The most amazing girl in the universe. She makes all the worlds shadows retreat and sheds light on the world like no other. I have been in love with her since I met her, and nothing will ever change that. Without Sammy Frisby, Austin Pritchett's life would be much less enjoyable. I love Lauren (Sammy) Amanda Frisby more than anything in the universe and I would give her my life in a heartbeat. Always be with me Lauren Amanda Frisby. You are my everything. Be mine forever.
- This is so romantic. Makes me want to
