| Hrafn, we need you back. Firefly's attitude and personal attacks were addressed recently, and he was blocked for an extended period of time. I assume any further signs of bad faith or personal attacks or uncivil behavior will result in a very long time-out. I have been watching new articles, and if I see ones from him, I review them for NPOV and writing. Not to get off on a tangent, but his writing skills are not at the level that I would expect. Other members who have supported him have also been warned and/or blocked. | |||
| We can deal with the POV warriors. We can deal with bad writing. But you watched over the arcane articles that need watching. Last night I dealt with a series of sockpuppets in a situation where you would have been helpful. You need to come back so that information people read here is sufficiently balanced to make this a world class operation. Yes, there are problems. I deal with it in my own manner, mostly writing great articles, and taking the time to make sure all civil and uncivil POV warriors are blocked. People are tiring of their behavior. | |||
| It's time to come back. Sorry that I removed your redirect, and you can, of course, put it back, but this is the place to leave you a message. ] <small><sup>] ]</sup></small> 17:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :OM: Firefly was always the least of my headaches -- far more abrasive to my ability to edit harmoniously and effectively were Catherineyronwode, Madman2001 & other like-minded anti-] editors who, from the comments on the former's talkpage since my departure, are entirely unrepentant in their efforts to edit-war and abuse other editors in their efforts to retain un-/poorly-substantiated material.

| Good to see you again Hrafn! And since you are back, I was wondering if you could answer a question of mine regarding YEC/flood geology. Do the YECers believe that '''all''' prehistoric animals died in the flood? I'm wondering specifically about those carboniferous mega-insects like the ] which couldn't survive in the comparatively lower oxygen atmosphere in which more modern forms of life evolved.

| You deleted my brief discussion of the distinctions between the Amy Vanderbilt and West Point conventions for wearing class rings as "unsourced". I would suggest that a source is not needed as it is a simple, demonstrable explaination how when worn in the old way on the left hand, the two conventions were identical, but when worn on the right hand the two conventions are opposite. I would like to restore the section as there was questions about the differences at the 2008 West Point Ring Weekend. | |||

| Your explanation is neither simple nor demonstrable. In fact both sourced conventions are flowery nonsenses, making a rational "distinction" impossible. On an "outstretched arm" the plane of the ring will be perpendicular to the arm -- so the insignia can neither face to nor away from the wearer. Which crest is "closest to the heart" is entirely arbitrary based on the position of the hand at any given time. It is likewise unclear how left vs right affects this nonsense (and would appear to be ] besides having an impenetrable relationship to the sourced conventions). Insignia can be worn either on the knuckle side, the palm side (or conceivable part way between) -- they can no more be worn pointing to the heart/wearer-outstretched/outward-outstretched than they can be worn in such a way that they (always) face Mecca. <font face="Antiqua, serif">'']<sup>]</sup><sub>]</sub>''</font> 13:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
