:I agree. If someone comes up with a reliable source that says that the Raspberry Pi has a USB current problem, then we can can put that information in the Raspberry Pi article. If they come up with a reliable source that says that this is a widespread problem, then we can can put that information in the USB article. What we cannot do is allow anything based upon a blog or discussion group. I can post an entry on the Raspberry Pi discussion group saying that it cures cancer -- or that every so often one explodes and levels a small city, put the same info in Misplaced Pages, and cite the discussion group as a "source". --] (]) 08:30, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

"Misplaced Pages's articles are no place for strong views. Or rather, we feel about strong views the way that a natural history museum feels about tigers. We admire them and want our visitors to see how fierce and clever they are, so we stuff them and mount them for close inspection. We put up all sorts of carefully worded signs to get people to appreciate them as much as we do. But however much we adore tigers, a live tiger loose in the museum is seen as an urgent problem." --WP:TIGER

Flow

In case anyone isn't aware of this already, Misplaced Pages:Flow is software that is planned to replace our current way of editing talk pages. I would encourage you all to take a look and possibly comment on the project. Thanks! --Guy Macon (talk) 18:50, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Main Page Redesign

Please comment on the following proposal: Misplaced Pages talk:2013 main page redesign proposal#Proposed Simple Main Page Thanks! --Guy Macon (talk) 07:00, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

I see what you are doing at raspberry, (and its okay)

Don't just saw of the branch the troll is sitting on, just cut down the whole tree!

He doesn't learn does he?!

the page is just yet a week or so unprotected and he is at it again, with his single agenda.

Although I wrote this paragraph you removed, (and I probably could find a better source than the blog, if I wanted to) its a good price to pay to keep this troll at bay!
