Eras discussion

Hi. A personal request for you. In deciding which of the variations you support and oppose, I would greatly appreciate it if you simply placed your name instead of your name and comments on the main Wikipedia:Eras project page. Having to edit the page, reading it, and viewing the proposal as a whole, not to mention parsing it, will get rather annoying if everyone leaves text-bites next to their names there, and the practice itself gives me an impression of POV-pushing, in the sense of trying to persuade people to a POV on that page when they should be considering the variations in and of themselves, without partisan biases (which is where the Talk page is useful, of course). Thank you. P.MacUidhir (t) (c)

Sorry, I was the 4th poster, and just followed the previous comments in the section. I'll go remove it. William Allen Simpson 00:46, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Eras Proposal Status

I was just curious-- what's the status on the Era's templates idea you had. A technical solution is definitely the ultimate way this thing should go. Is it "still alive" or in the process of implemenation?? -Alecmconroy 10:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
