Revision as of 16:49, 12 February 2008 by Tony Sidaway (talk | contribs) (Show/hide trick with the civility sanction)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) Civility sanction I said on the second day of the workshop of the IRC case that I thought the Committee would have to be "very creative in seeking an appropriate and equitable set of remedies." Hardly an audacious prediction in the circumstances. It has proven a difficult case, and there have been moments when some of us had to "get out and push", as it were, by making concessions. I think the case has come together well over the past few days and now the end is in sight. I believe cooperation is essential for the health of the community. To help paper over the cracks I've accepted FloNight's suggestion that she draw up an enforceable remedy concerning me as an alternative to one that looks likely to fail in this case. That's both creative and sensible. The proximate cause of the arbitration case was an edit war that would not have started without my thoughtless choice of words. Part of this case has concerned widespread perceptions that some parties are privileged in some way. Those perceptions, which I believe to be false, can only be defused by painstaking work in the months going forwards, but this case makes a good start. --Tony Sidaway 00:12, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll treat that as enforceable. Other arbitrators may add endorsements if they want. --Tony Sidaway 02:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

WarGames

It is very disappointing that you are disregarding my complaint completely with this edit. Am I supposed to put up a 'fight' so that my complaint is taken seriously? I told you that the mass trimming of the plot summary like that is problematic. I have even cited you featured fictional works such as Hamlet's synopsis section which is longer than the one on WarGames. Featured works are generaly the metric for good articles. More-so than guidelines. Since Jack Merridew is involved (Coincidence? I don't think so. Stalking? Probably.) with the article I have almost completely lost interest. -- Cat 14:26, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I thought you said you wanted the plot summary twice the length, so (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a bit hazy about exactly what I did on this article a couple of weeks ago) I made an effort to extend it--please do add more if you want. Who is Jack Merridew? --Tony Sidaway 15:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

{{Oldprodfull}}

Hello, Tony Sidaway ... please see this talk page and tell me what you think of my newly created Template:Oldprodfull ... would you use it, or update it if you encountered it?

Also, what are your thoughts on my proposed WP:FLAG-BIO and other flag templates?

Nice idea, but I think it's a bit overkill, really. Prod is intentionally a lightweight process. It could be useful on articles (like the one I encountered it on) where there was a declined prod in the past and someone may miss it in the history. --Tony Sidaway 16:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
