Talk:International Oversight Advisory

message: The article states that General Hank Landry calls the IOA "idiot blowhard politicians." The reference numbers seem to have shifted, however none of the noted links direct to a page that verifies the said quote
Since a direct quote obviously needs to be referenced I will remove it if a source isn't added within the next 24-hours. Wikipedian 29 14:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Sourcing Quote

message: I was called here by User:152.163.100.130 because he thought I was an admin. I'll state right off the bat that I'm not, so don't afford my words any more weight than you would any other wikipedian. I appologize if I've given the impression that I am in other articles, and I really hold no authority. I'm replying here, because the IP that contacted me is flagged as an AOL IP, and I have no guarantee that whoever it was will get my message if I leave it on that talkpage.
What I was contacted regarding is a content dispute on this article. I'd just like to advise so we're clear here that since this is a content dispute and nobody's even broken WP:3RR yet, there's not much the real admins can do about this either. Barring disruptive or outright vandalistic edits by either of the parties, it will not get addressed on WP:AN/I or any other administrative action.
If consensus cannot be achieved, or if even a single editor is edit-warring but not breaking 3RR per se, the editors on an article need to follow WP:DR to try to work it out. You might see more success petitioning the Mediation Cabal or starting a Request for Comment.
If this fails to achieve consensus on what is to be done with the article, there is always arbitration, but bear in mind this is a last resort and the ArbCom really prefer you try other methods first and look dimly upon matters that are escalated straight to arbitration.
Hope this helps. I'm not blaming anyone here, and without more background on the dispute I won't be getting involved. I just wanted to emphasize that I'm not an admin, and the admins themselves can't intervene unless something serious happens.--Rosicrucian 14:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll surely refrain from making any more edits for the time being to the article, however, I would like to know why stating that the IOA is the third civilian agency interfering with the Stargate Program isn't accepted here... Fine, I admit that mentioning the first two attempts were disastrous could be seen as not very neutral, but I still think User:152.163.100.130 was a little overzealous in deleting content he considered biased...

thread_title:  Content Dispute 

message: I went back and reviewed June '06 versions of this article, and they were considerably better than its current state. I am going to discuss a complete rewrite with an admin, because as-is, this article seems to get worse on a daily basis. IOA is currently just a compilation of highly biased remarks and revisions to reduce the biased statements, and all these ridiculous edits have robbed it of any quality.205.188.116.71 05:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's Atlantis. "Terra Atlantus" was the Ancient translation. In the follow sentence Daniel translates it into (Earth) Atlantis in English. And after they realize that only the outpost was there, everyone called it the Ancient Outpost in Antartica. 205.188.116.71 17:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Degeneration af this article

message: On a personal note, Maartentje, you're ridiculous. You sit and fight with everyone, and you seem to be quite an angry person in general. Almost all of your 30 some odd additions to this article have turned out to be unusable, and the half-dozen+ participants in here have all come out against your poor & biased wording of paragraphs. 
I don't know if it's the television show Stargate, or the general policies of Wikipedia, but something in this equation is way over your head. Well, let me rephrase, it's either ignorance or deliberate portrayal of misinformation; but if that's the case then I don't know where your (seemingly) 4th grade spelling and grammatical skills would fall into place. Find a hobby or something. I'm really tired of watching you use this article to sully the integrity of Wikipedia.205.188.116.71 17:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
