Stubs

You added the stub Long Island Lighting Company to the Requested Articles pages. It has been removed as this is not the appropriate place for stubs. The proper procedure it to identify them as stubs by adding an appropriate template to the article, which was already done, and then it will appear in one of the stub categories for editors to find and expand (in this case Category:Corporation stubs). Of course, if you are knowledgable on the subject, we would always appreciate it if you help us out and expand it yourself. See also Misplaced Pages:Cleanup, Misplaced Pages:Wikiproject stub sorting.

RfC

Simesa, I understand we have different and perhaps incompatible perspectives. I'm still human and mostly decent although I have been arrested for picking up litter - technically for encouraging kids to pick up litter. Yes, I intend to ensure, within the rules, that articles about nuclear energy do not becomes soapboxes for though who want to express the doublespeak of "its safe, but we need subsidized insurance." If I cross a line or break a clear rule, and somebody who plays fair points to it, I'll avoid it in future. We probably agree on everything else, from libertarianism to religion to taste in music.Benjamin Gatti 29 June 2005 02:07 (UTC)

Thanks

...for your nice comments; I'm a reporter so it's sorta what I do all day. The writing style is different of course, but the tenets are the same... unbiased writing about certain debates etc. etc. I briefly covered energy issues before Congress so I'm somewhat familiar with Price-Anderson. As for the psychology article, I'm not really sure... it's not anything I'm personally familiar with. But I think Misplaced Pages does have an "Articles wanted" requestboard; I don't have time to look at it this morning, but I'll see if I can later when I get a break. · Katefan0 June 29, 2005 12:33 (UTC)

Cheers on starting the stub! · Katefan0 June 30, 2005 19:49 (UTC)

I haven't even taken a peek at the Nuclear power article, but I don't know that it's necessary -- yet -- to protect Price-Anderson Act... for now, Benjamin appears to have realized that he's going to have to get a consensus for some of the changes he's been seeking. Let's give consensus-building a chance first at least on that page. As for the Nuclear power article, I can't give any recommendation, but enforcing a cooling off period is a valid reason for requesting a page be protected. You can visit Requests for page protection to make your request. Best of luck · Katefan0 June 30, 2005 23:07 (UTC)

Thanks again for your kind comments. We're all in this together to make a better article, in the end. BTW, I'm an INFP. My I is right on the border of E, but the rest are firmly in their designations. · Katefan0 July 1, 2005 19:59 (UTC)

Assumptions

Simesa, First, you're the moving party. Second, yes my recollection was that you were retired - as you say former - its a distinction without a difference quite nearly. I do assume that you were paid, and further I assume that you continue to be paid in some way - retiries usually receive a stipend of some kind. Whistleblowers almost always get a stipend. Even social security is a continuing form of payment based on your prior wages. You're profile doesn't include that you were a whistleblower - we'd like to hear more on that. As for gender - you're right, but English doesn't have a gender ambiguous pronoun, and so the assumption is forced, I took the road less followed. If you're saying it's wrong, then the ambiguity is resolved. I don't think i'm being any more or less unreasonable than anyone else including you. Its just that our perspectives have a lot of slogging through the facts before they meet. Its a journey of minds, and while a Cop Out Period is just that, we are making progress. I think you now realize the Act dramatically changes the rules for one selected Industry to which the government is partial. I think soon, you will realize that every business with liability insurance creates a pool for damages - PAA Creates a smaller pool - so suggesting to readers that it creates a novel "Pool of Money to compensate victoms" is pedantic and naive. Progress is moving the line of compromise - we are making progress. Benjamin Gatti 1 July 2005 13:38 (UTC)

Ben's assumptions conveniently always seem to support his point of view. Simesa 1 July 2005 19:01 (UTC)

I'm just grateful for your support on the issues we now agree on - which is most of Price Anderson. Benjamin Gatti 1 July 2005 21:14 (UTC)

Price-Anderson

Make any changes you want to make. The problem is that Ben wants citations on simple declarative sentences and I would have no idea where to even start on that. Maybe you do. --Woohookitty 2 July 2005 20:31 (UTC)

Sure, I will add my vote for RfP. And yeah, I don't think Ben will quit. --Woohookitty 3 July 2005 02:42 (UTC)

I'm trying to support you, but honestly, you guys have lost me. :) Too many posts. Too many issues. So I'm trying to keep up, but it's hard. --Woohookitty 3 July 2005 20:16 (UTC)

I'm with ya. Yeah at this point, the criticism section has dwarfed the other sections and I don't think we should let it get bigger or let criticism creep into the first part of the article. --Woohookitty 4 July 2005 17:05 (UTC)

Price-Anderson

Things can move fast around here. Whk is now an admin - you had written almost an admin. I have posted a comment - possibly incisive, possibly naive - at talk:Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act. If that goes down well, Mediation should proceed rapidly.

• No, lots of websites capture and republish Misplaced Pages information. Essentially all Misplaced Pages except user pages is considered fair use, meaning it's free to be reused as long as Misplaced Pages is credited and, I think, as long as it's not for profit. I could be wrong about the specfics, but there are lots of Misplaced Pages mirrors and as long as WP is credited, it's OK. Generally these sites scoop up Misplaced Pages content every so often, to catch pages that've been updated. · Katefan0 July 6, 2005 19:24 (UTC)

Chernobyl

Simesa is awarded the "Liquidator of Consequences" award for his work in scubbing the[REDACTED] clean of the consequences of nuclear radiation.

This ad hominem is uncalled for. I see no humor in it. pstudier 22:35, 2005 July 14 (UTC)
