Shadow of the Colossus

Please give your reasons why the Large and Small section should stay on the talk page. I made mine clear there and received no reasons why it should stay for three days, so I got rid of it. I am also puzzled as to why you keep reverting people's edits where they fix spelling mistakes and rephrase the article so it makes more sense. Specifically, this. -- Steel 14:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

My reasons are not shaky. This has not been confirmed by the developers as an actual theme, so until that happens, the large and small section should be removed per WP:V. This is Wikipedia's policy. Also, as I've said before, a few likenesses between lizards and colossi or the Shrine of Worship and the save temples does not make large and small a theme. I do not wish to get into an edit revert war on this, but that large and small section must go. Please understand this. You have not given one good reason why it should stay, apart from "it's key to the article" which is comepltely subjective. I have given two very valid reasons. -- Steel 16:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

What I am saying is just because there are large and small things in the game, that does not necessarily make it a theme. And until someone confirms that it was intentional and it was a theme, it should be gotten rid of. Oh, and this is completely different to removing any references to Agro being a horse. -- Steel 16:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

It says in the instruction manual that Agro is a horse.
Anyway, I accept that there is a relationship between large and small in the game, though I would hardly call it a theme. It also doesn't deserve the huge section that it has currently, nor do we need to include specific references to things like (paraphrased) "Agro is a horse and there is a horselike colossus" and "There are fish in the game and there is a fishlike colossus". I'll rewrite the section when I have time and hope we can come to a compromise. -- Steel 17:12, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Reverts on my talk page

Thank you for the reverts on my talk page from that vandal you are trying to block, but the blanking was my own doing. Ryulong 21:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

A Scale

The page has been deleted, as you requested.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  08:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

AWB

The developers of AWB just released their latest updated today with some requested features, including the skipping of image names and external links. Just wanted to let you know I checked about 100 edits and all your concerns have hopefully been addressed. Cheers =D --mboverload@ 08:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Objection!

Why do you keep adding that unverifiable, and false information to the end of the Objection article? 80.47.201.92 03:34, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment on undoing an edit

I noticed that you reversed my edit to Wumpscut:. Specifically, undoing my change of the Template:Wrongtitle message to Template:Namespace. According to Naming Conventions, Namespace seems to be the appropriate message to use. Or am I missing something? -- kenb215 01:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

According to that you are correct, I just thought that that message is very misleading, it states "existing namespace", when there is no such conflict. It's more of a technical difficulty which is why I set it to wrongtitle, but apparently you are correct. Schicksal 01:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it seems a bit unusual. Perhaps it might be that when the software sees a leading colon, it believes that the page belongs in a non-existant blank namespace. If you don't mind, I'll re-revert it. -- kenb215 01:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

DotA & DotA Allstars edits

Hi Schicksal. I reverted the deletion you did on the Clan TDA section in the Allstars article. Let's discuss it at Talk:DotA_Allstars. Also, I noticed you changed the intro of Defense of the Ancients from "including DotA Allstars" to "the most popular of which is DotA Allstars.". I agree with you that Allstars is probably the most popular variant of DotA. But I think that this is a claim which is nearly impossible to verify. Adding the fact template won't change that - it will never get a citation. If it can't get a citation, I think it is better to remove it as per http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2006-May/046433.html and WP:V#Burden_of_evidence. An alternative would be to say something like "Many people believe DotA Allstars to be the most popular variant.." which is something that can be verified. But that sort of statement belongs in the DotA Allstars article I think, not the DotA article. --JRavn ^talk 19:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

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.
