Hi Colonies Chris, I noticed that you changed "iNtuition" to "Intuition" in the ] article using ]. Please note that "iNtuition" is the correct usage in Myers-Briggs terminology. The letter ''''N'''' represents intuition, while the letter ''''I'''' represents introversion. Thanks! ] (]) 23:17, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the good summary of the arguments. It helped me see where some people were coming from, though I still have my reservations. Cheers either way. ] (] • ]) 14:55, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

As this practice (and the actual manual of style guideline) are currently in dispute, you should probably back off of unlinking dates until the dispute is resolved. Prior ArbCom cases have looked unfavorably on editors who attempt to force through disputed changes on a large scale as you (and other editors) are doing. Specifically, ], which I quote:

{{"|Editors who are collectively or individually making large numbers of similar edits, and are apprised that those edits are controversial or disputed, are expected to attempt to resolve the dispute through discussion. It is inappropriate to use repetition or volume in order to present opponents with a fait accompli or to exhaust their ability to contest the change. This applies to many editors making a few edits each, as well as a few editors making many edits.}}

Continuing this behavior could be considered disruption. Please stop and instead participate in the ongoing discussions at ] and elsewhere. ] (]) 07:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:My edits are in accordance with the Manual of Style - and I do participate in the discussions. I will disregard this weaselly and bullying attempt to make me comply with ''your'' agenda. ] (]) 09:07, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
