thread_title:  Evidence of trying and failing to resolve dispute 

message: I would agree that a "persistent pattern of personal attacks is not to be taken lightly." I'd like to see better evidence of that in thre case of RJII, though, then (and I'm referring to one of the very first examples entered at the top of this page, not an arbitrary choice of example), "talk to the hand"! That's a tad flippant, but not a personal attack. Heck, Mihnea once told me (after I had invoked Socrates in some connection or other) that he hoped I would be forced to drink hemlock soon. If such a remark had come from RJII, it would be on this page. But my skin is a tad thicker than some here, apparently, so I didn't start any such page as this.  --Christofurio 13:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Tangerine Computer Systems

message: Did this really only manifest itself in the Oric Atmos?  I ask because I had an Oric 1 and the tape seldom worked once the saved programs had reached a certain size.

thread_title: Faulty tape checking routine

message: It might (and this is just a suggestion) be beneficial to both subjects to split the Oric-1 computer (and its descendants) into a separate article from this one (whose subject is the parent company).
I would want to keep the Oric-1, Atmos and other closely-related machines in the same single new article (don't see any point in having a separate one for each, as they're very closely related). This might provide scope to expand the technical info on the Oric-1 family while freeing it from the chronological ties of the parent article.
Any discussion in favour or against this idea welcome, thanks. Ubcule (talk) 19:26, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree although the title would have to be "Oric series" or equivalent (I don't actually like Oric series but can't think of a better one at the minute!) - the Atmos is as least as notable as the Oric-1. It is odd that there isn't an Oric article when this Tangerine article would basically just be a stub without all the Oric material and all it has extra is the Microtan which already has its own article.Retro junkie (talk) 15:04, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

I have been calling around inside of Quark and attempting to contact those who theoretically would have been around at the time, but still have not managed to reach anyone who could tell me who Mark Pope is/was.  If anyone has any information on the topic, I would appreciate hearing about it.
I currently have three suspicions.  1. Mark was a lesser founder than Tim Gill who just managed to drop off the history books because he didn't stick around long enough, 2. Mark was an early employee of Quark who someone thinks was a founder, or 3. Mark is someone who may or may not have even been around at the time but really wants people to think that he was there and involved.  Until we have some kind of evidence, I'm gonna have to insist that he be left entirely  off of the article. - Robert Rapplean 12:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Alternatives to ICANN

message: This article infers a lot by even appearing in the Wikipedia, there should be a template that flags articles for either deletion or merge that seem to suggest a particular view simply by existing.  By the Alternatives to ICANN article existing, a casual viewer of the article might take the impression, without any verification or supporting fact, that alternatives to ICANN are even required.  Where an article to exist called "Alternatives to Microsoft Windows" there would be an intrinsic suggestion that Microsoft Windows inherantly requires alternatives, therefore we have individual articles for each of the actual alternatives to Microsoft Windows (Linux etc).
I suggest this article be merged into ICANN as a criticisms section or something similar, and it can therefore be subjected to editorial review by other wikipedians.  I can't help but feel that this article is hiding here.

I don't think it's meant as a literal command, more a dismissive suggestion to see the positive side.
Also, is it worth mentioning the parapersonas being in the form of the rainbow-coloured liquid, injected into hosts? Would clear it up a bit. I'm not making the edit myself, I can't quite think how to put it.

I have found a number of different sources that could be used to write a new section, but I just don't have time right now to write it.  In order to preserve these links and give someone else a chance to write it up if they have a chance, I have listed them below.  A couple of them are blog posts (so they may not be considered reliable sources) and one is (at least arguably) a primary source, but the rest are newspaper articles, so I think there is enough here.

The singular seems to pass the Google test (299 hits for "Swords of Righteousness Brigades" versus 73700 for "Swords of Righteousness Brigade").
For some reason, it seems to be mostly Canadian sources which pluralize the title, which is why I thought it should be plural.
