Half Hour News Hour Compromise

Do we have a compromise version or not? Please put it on the talk page. Turtlescrubber 03:44, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, we do. Sorry, I didn't notice that responses were being posted within the conversation on the THHNH talk page. I was looking for them at the bottom of the page. I have posted there as well.Citadel18080 05:12, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

AFA Article

Hi! Also please put the section you'd like specific third party comments on in a section, so we can find it. Thanks! and good luck. Rocksanddirt 19:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to clarify, the discussion above your post deals with a different article.

Is there some sort of marker I should put in the article (or talk page) to indicate that its in dispute? If so, how exactly do I do that (I'm relatively new to Misplaced Pages)? I've also posted this on your talk page. Thanks. Citadel18080 19:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I think there is a template for how to arrange them in the talk pages. I'm pretty new myself, but I've seen a couple of good examples of soliciting third party comment (try Waldorf Education's recent request for comment. Rocksanddirt 19:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, that was most helpful. Citadel18080 19:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Citadel. After a bit of a "rough" start I think I'm getting the feel of broadening the AFA article to a more encyclopedic standard. Any suggestions from you are welcome there. Also, I have some more specific info I can send. Send me an email. Regards Hal Cross 06:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm working on setting up an e-mail account specifically for Misplaced Pages purposes. As soon as I have done so, I will send you an e-mail. Citadel18080 03:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

AFA

In case you think my last comment on the talk page was directed at you, I want to thank you for your involvement in the content dispute. Even though we disagreed on many points, you were about the only regular contributer who both opposed the categories and approached the discussion in a reasonable fashion. I think the fact that we reached a final consensus is mostly due to your calm and community-friendly approach. Orpheus 06:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the comment and for taking a similar approach to the discussion. The dispute was actually quite a learning experience for me. I joined Misplaced Pages towards the end of May, and the AFA article was one of the first that I edited. Citadel18080 03:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Category

My position on Category:Homophobia is that it is a good match to the AFA article. The only reason I supported removing it was that, at the time, it was a violation of WP:CAT - the part that says "thou shalt not have a category and its parent category in the same article". The parent category is Category:Discrimination. Now that we don't have Discrimination in the article, I don't see any reason not to include Homophobia. It's specific and not a subcat of an existing one, which ticks the policy boxes.

That said, I don't particularly wish to engage in another six week argument with people who refuse to move beyond "This is what I Know Is Right and you should be blocked for disagreeing with me because Policy Policy Policy" (which of course has never included you - thanks).

Category discussion

Would you be interested in discussing the homophobia category between the two of us and coming to a reasonable decision, without lengthy digressions et al? I think if we both agreed on a solution, whatever it turns out to be, everyone else would fall in behind it. Orpheus 09:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Finally got round to this again - sorry about the delay. Update is on the subpage. Orpheus 00:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
