Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 20:29, 29 January 2007

Microsoft Zune

I removed the POV box you recently added to this article. The neutrality of the article isn't in dispute; there have been issues around what kinds of information should be included, but that boils down to issues regarding Misplaced Pages:External links, Misplaced Pages:No original research, and Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not... these are more or less resolved now. You're most welcome to explain on the article's talk page (not here on your talk page, please) why you feel there is a neutrality problem. Or, be bold and fix the problems yourself. An unexplained POV tag isn't helpful for improving the article, however. -/- Warren 17:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Chance 2 Motorsports is still active with a limited schedule. Martin Truex Jr. drove a C2 car at a victory at talladega. Dale Jr drove one to a victory at Daytona, and a top 15 finish at Chicagoland. So, please check your facts before editing. If your still skeptical, check for your self in entry #45 ]ErosChrysoprase 01:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I apologize if i came off a bit hostile, but i felt Chance 2 was a big part of Dale's career because he won two owners championships on that car. ErosChrysoprase 13:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I cannot understand why you reverted my removal of a contribution which repeated something that had already been written in the article, and then three days later removed it yourself. I will have to assume good faith that you misunderstood the original revert. ~~ Peteb16 06:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, no problems. I think I have to admit that I'd not seen the bullet points had been added in the edit I was reverting. I agree they do make the section look better. ~~ Peteb16 13:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Just a Pizza Place

With regards to your comment "Please do not add content to the Misplaced Pages that is not encyclopedic. Renato's is not a "cultural institution". It's just a pizza place that kids like to hang out at. -- Scjessey 17:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC)", it is clear that your definition of a 'cultural institution' is quite narrow and it is a statement with which I take great umbrage with. It also seems quite odd that man who has a thing for Dale Jr. would feel qualified to make judgments on which things, and which things are not, are worthy of being deemed ‘cultural institutions’.

My formative years were spent in the borough of Swarthmore from 1978 to 1993. As such a good deal of my time was spent at ‘just a pizza place’, as you call it.

And it was at that ‘just a pizza place’ that I learned the workings of love, kinship, commerce, heartbreak, and hope.

The lessons learned there were more relevant, and more lasting, then any play, music, art showing, or other bits of ‘culture’ that I took in at Swarthmore College.

Since then, trips back to the borough would not be complete without a luncheon at ‘just a pizza place’. And while there, it warms my heart to see yet another generation living the same discoveries at ‘just a pizza place’ that I discovered many years ago.

But, then as a person who did not come of age in Swarthmore, it would be foolish of me to expect that you could understand the cultural relevance of ‘just a pizza place’ to the town, and to the people, of which it is located.

So, sir, I surmise that we will agree to disagree. In that, I will continue to post the institutions that I feel are integral to the cultural make up of Swarthmore, just as you feel it is your duty to cast judgments on them.

And as we both labor in professions that require us to spend copious amounts of time at a computer, I believe we can look forward to many years of posting, deleting, posting, deleting, ad infinitum.

Cordially,
