Global encyclopaedia

My main concern is that both the Obama and Romney Talk pages are being very obviously flooded by opponents of the parties those two gentlemen belong to, who want to post the most minute, irrelevant, negative trivia in order to boost their favoured party's candidate for President. The vast majority of this stuff is already of no interest to observers outside the US, and will be forgotten after the election. There has to be more to the discussion of these two men than simply what interests politically active Americans right now.

Hi Arkon, FYI I removed vandalism in this section. Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 19:01, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Much appreciated. Arkon (talk) 19:23, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

FAR review

I have made comments on the Barack Obama talk page about having a FAR. I have been neutral and recognized the fuckwit potential but also the greater need to have it. See my comments there. Evergreenme (talk) 21:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Anyone who may be watching this page

I got a confirmation e-mail to my tablet earlier today, for wikipedia. Needless to say, I had my account here waaaaaay before I had my tablet, and the corresponding e-mail address. I can't recall updating it. Any ideas? Arkon (talk) 03:30, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Romney

What is that article? Not encyclopedy! But: edit war, poll war or class war? -- Merlinschnee (talk) 04:04, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I...yeah, I have no idea what you are saying. Arkon (talk) 04:13, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Unvanishing

I already knew it was going to take place due to private correspondences, but they needed to get ArbCom on board for some reason. I wasn't thrilled that ArbCom needed to be in the mix (and not sure why they did) but I was convinced that it was going to happen anyway. Since the result was the goal, this turned out to be the shortest, most simple and drama free way to achieve the goal, hence my request for patience. It's done now, which I agree is the proper thing under the circumstances. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 10:53, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

The beach called my name, and I've been away, so to start: I was less than sober on my last post on AN/I, just annoyed by the seeming drag-assness :) But everything ended up how it should be, so I really do appreciate your help. Arkon (talk) 02:51, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Not a problem For what it is worth, editing buzzed can get you in trouble around here, I've seen it before. I try to shut off the computer after the 2nd beer myself. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 12:14, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

I've lasted 7 years or so, clean on the blocks, but my nice nature gets fuzzed. :) Arkon (talk) 22:44, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Romney's relative wealth

Hi Arkon. Regarding your recent revert, please note that the article is now being reviewed by a Featured Article Candidate (FAC) reviewer. That editor indicated at the article talk page that the RFC was closed improperly, and I agree. Also, did you notice how brief the sentence in question is, and where I placed it? Sometimes the best way to make progress at an article is to compromise. Any chance you might reconsider your revert? Cheers.Anythingyouwant (talk) 23:11, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

If it was closed improperly, you should probably ask the closer to review it. However, just ignoring it, is also improper. Arkon (talk) 23:14, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Request for comment

You are receiving this message because you have submitted at least one edit to the Frank_L._VanderSloot article during the past thirty days. Your attention is called to Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Rhode Island Red.2. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 00:46, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments re KillerChihuahua on ANI

Thanks for your comments re KillerChihuahua. Ironically, the fact that the incident was closed so quickly, and that KillerChihuahua replied to your comments with more wikilawyering rather than addressing your concern, exemplifies the problem.

Do you believe that this issue is worth taking to the next level?

Thanks again. Memills (talk) 17:54, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I kinda doubt that there would be much traction in going forward with anything else on that front. I do think that KC is indisputably involved in the topic area, but as the pushback and strawman building on AN/I showed, it would be quite a battle. Sadly, best thing to do is to wait out his sanction, and then return with the knowledge that KC will not need much cause to come down on you again. Sorry that I don't have a better answer.

Assistance Required

I'm attempting to document the online community known as the "manosphere" in a neutral and impartial way. In particular I have an article waiting for publication that's very well sourced and would be difficult for even the most combative and biased editor to reject. However I'm beginning to become concerned that no one has yet looked at my submission. If you could forward this request to anyone in the position to approve my article if it meets Misplaced Pages standards that would help greatly. Ethicalv (talk) 18:39, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I'll try to take a look at this later, but I am pretty terrible when it comes to content creation, so I may not be of much help. I'll leave you a comment when I can, thanks for the heads up though. Arkon (talk) 01:15, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: March Against Monsanto

add back tag, no consensus for removal, concerns raised on talk page, and RFC is ongoing

You must be looking at a different website. On this site, there is no consensus to add the tag, and no tag is needed at this time. Please cite the part of our guideline on WP:FRINGE that is violated by this article and give an example. Viriditas (talk) 22:27, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
