"Live-action" vs. "Live action"
Sorry about the talk page problem with my attempt to move Live action role-playing game to Live-action role-playing game, I should have foreseen that problem. I attempted the move the proper way the first time, but because the article Live-action role-playing game already existed as a redirect, only an administrator could complete the move. I'm sorry, I should have put in a request for one of them (one of you?) to do so.
Nevertheless, the latter form ("live-action") is correct, and should be preferred, IMHO.
As for the need for consensus, I was simply following the policy to be bold. Of course, I don't take your reversion personally...but more explanation than simply "You moved too fast" might be nice. Do you object to the change yourself? If so, why not also revert Live-action and List of live-action role-playing groups as well?
BTW, calling me a "new user" is a little bit silly; I've just been inactive for a while. GreetingsEarthling (talk) 06:45, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Edit to User:GreetingsEarthling
this edit was mistaken. WP:EL is irrelevant; those are the standards for links from articles, not user pages. WP:NOT seems relevant, but a single modest link to more information about GreetingsEarthling is clearly covered by WP:USERPAGE. "You are welcome to include a link to your personal home page, although you should not surround it with any promotional language." Policing user pages for trivial infractions isn't helpful to Misplaced Pages and may hurt your reputation. — Alan De Smet | Talk 23:13, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

- (The following was copied by Alan De Smet from Daedalus's reply above, to keep the conversation in one place.) Seeing as how the page that is linked promotes other websites: Artsandfaith.com - Fascinating art criticism (particularly film) in a POV manner, I believe that would fall under promotional.— Dædαlus /Improve 23:43, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
