Talk:Alexander the Great/Archive 5

message: Two things I noticed.  One, the Alexander Shinken anime series is referenced twice.  Two, I think it was  TV movie with William Shatner rather than a TV series as stated.  Hope that ain't too controversial. ;-) (82.12.202.32 19:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup of Popular Culture section 

message: It's of course fine to revert edits that you think are a bad idea, but I don't think it's a good idea in general to revert edits because they haven't first been discussed on the Talk page.  The wiki system is based on the idea that the normal way to propose a change is to make the change--if people don't like the change, they can change back some or all of it.  This method is the one that has allowed Wikipedia to grow to a million plus articles in a few short years, and should not be exchanged for a process of having an online discussion group about each significant edit unless it's absolutely necessary.

thread_title:  Consensus for edits 

message: :There are appropriate places to make sockpuppetry accusations. This talk page is not one of them. Sockpuppetry accusations effectively ended a productive discussion earlier in which one user, Apro was proven to be innocent. Please refrain from posting sockpuppetry accusations on this talk page. Post them elsewhere. Thank you. Heraklis 00:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So, MegosAlexandros has been confirmed as yet another sockpuppet of Cretanpride.  Hopefully some progress can be made here.  Hectorian, I believe that your motives are actually quite pure, and wouldn't mind discussing the finer points of this article with you at length. I think your misunderstanding the definition of the word pederasty, which actualyl includes relations between adults and adolescents.  Adolescenthood stretches past the age of 14 (usually to the age of 16 and as far as 18 or 19 if I'm not mistaken), so even though the Greeks were not having sex with 10 year olds, that is not what anyone is suggesting.

replies: text: n.b., User:Apro is also a sock of Cretanpride. --Akhilleus (talk) 17:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't be so fast in calling Apro a sock. If you look this edit he just posted here, , you'll see that in the last edit signed "Apro" the IP is [], that of an anonymous editor active since 2005, with more than 500 edits. And the checkuser has stated "inconclusive" regarding the hypothesis Cretanpride-Apro.--Aldux 20:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aldux, thanks--I saw that Apro had been blocked by an admin and reacted too quickly. I retract my statement, and apologize to User:Apro for mistakenly calling him/her a sockpuppet. --Akhilleus (talk) 20:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Sockpuppetry Accusations

message: :I added a section showing work on a Mount Rushmore kind of thing about Alexander. I was not able to find a whole lot of info, but I thought readers would be interested.  MegasAllexandros 21:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I hope u do not mind me renaming the section. I think it is better to have the facts and not to use the word 'Rushmore' until the work is finished, or until the section gets larger, so that info about 'prototypes' and influences will not serve as 'headlines in newspapers' (u know, just to attract the reader attention:)...). --Hectorian 21:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Sure go ahead. I meant that I thought the section was interesting, not the name. MegasAllexandros 22:08, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is interesting indeed! I wonder what some will say when it'll be completed:p --Hectorian 22:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
