| ''Psst'' ... ''']''' was created around the time I arrived for my second tour of duty of '''current-events wrangling''' the ''']''' article ''(my first was the weekend of the kos rumor—which, by the way, I verified was false by communicating with an Alaskan news photographer whose photos had been used to assert the rumor)'' | |||
| My first SPCEW2 episode-defining action ... was opposing a''(Wikilawyering and ANI-oft-dramaqueening)'' five-year WP veteran's belligerent insistence that they could describe/summarize from the ] transcript of the speech. | |||
| The editor's inaugural edit (of this period on this page) was roughly: ''While Palin gave X (editor summary from PRIMARY), the media (SECONDARY) said Y'' (which I reluctantly reverted—because I wanted to clarify the SECONDARY vs PRIMARY issue with an undo, i.e., signal: "Don't do that" ... but with edit summary with carefully/non-aggressively-worded rationale). | |||
| I was rather insistent on the matter (on the talk page), and the offending paragraph found itself traveling to a newly-created article (where I did not care). lol | |||
| ''SO, I (like a god? lol)'' helped breathed life into the article I kept away from ... '''<small>BUT</small>''', I ''do'' know what it ought to be ... '''HOWEVER''' <u>that version must await book-level analysis (rather than media-level coverage) to take shape</u> ... '''and''' perhaps even some adjustment to the usual idea of what an article about a speech might be (which would include the possibility of <u>sourced<u> '''rhetorical analysis'''). | |||
| While I am not a fan of Palin, her rhetoric and style are effective ... in its way ... and that way is fine for its audience and purpose. | |||
| <small>BOTTOM LINE:</small> I do have a thought that ''that "speech"'' is precisely the kind of speech that would deserve its own article—when we do it right. (Which can't be done yet. But there's no rush. And no ''compelling'' reason to delete in the meantime. AND if it turns out she is truly a flash in the pan ... THEN, of course, delete.) | |||

| ::::The discussion was already closed and archived, and it appears you did not have Jake Wartenberg's permission to revert anyone at his user page. Likewise with Lara: one simply doesn't go around blanking other people's posts on talk without discussion. That's outside of site norms. If you feel that someone's edit is inappropriate, please discuss it with them. Because if the edit actually is inappropriate, most experienced Wikipedians can be persuaded and would appreciate the respect of having the opportunity to undo it themselves. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 18:51, 31 October 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::::It's very difficult to take someone replacing a serious conversation with the image of a goat as being rooted in any sort of sincerity; trying to discuss such an edit with such an editor would seem to be an effort in futility. Jake seems to have been persuaded that your edit belongs somewhere there, and you seem to have been persuaded that collapsing the discussion need not be repeated, so I think we've come as far as we're going to come in this conversation. But if you want to talk about "respect," my future suggestion would be to not collapse contentious discussions and label them with the image of a goat. "That's outside of site norms." ''']''' <small>aka justen</small> (]) 19:43, 31 October 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::Actually, one in eight featured pictures at Misplaced Pages is my contribution. This is easy to determine from the top of my userpage. When I announce that something has encyclopedic value and a restoration is underway, you may trust that the message is genuine. Regardless, I have now asked you politely three different ways to refrain from altering my posts without consultation again. If you do not take that request seriously and the problem repeats, your actions will compel me to seek the opinions of other editors. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 04:08, 2 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::You've done a lovely job with your photographs, nobody here is disputing that (so far as I know). Effectively replacing a discussion with a "scapegoat," whether to add levity or to dismiss that discussion, is still an edit you should not have made, certainly not without the "consultation" you are here requesting (apparently but not in kind). I wish you well, Durova, but I don't see any further benefit to discussing this further here. If you feel a need to plaster over any discussions in the future with your featured photographs, I would certainly feel it appropriate to revisit the situation at that time, as you suggest. Take care, ''']''' <small>aka justen</small> (]) 04:36, 2 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
