Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Vote/Moreschi

I appreciate Moreschi's efforts to rid Wikipedia of nationalist editors, but I know he's going to bring his emotions with him as an arbitrator. He's threatened editors with blocks in the past, and I can't help but think he might threaten users with far more severe action as an arbitrator. Nishkid64 (talk) 00:04, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:M274 ½-ton 4×4 utility platform truck

message: I'm thinking of re-naming this article "M274 -ton 4x4 Utility Platform Truck". I have been doing a common theme at "Category:Military trucks of the United States", pre and WWII trucks by their manufacturer's name, post war with their "M" numbers first (most post-WWII trucks are Ordinance Standard with anyone building anything). "Utility Platform Truck" is a proper name. I don't usually do more than "truck", but "Utility Platform" gives the readers an idea of what this unusual vehicle is. Objections?

message: The current situation is a bit of a mess, with inconsistent pages about governoral election existing, while others titled Regional election also exist inconsistently, and sometimes include governoral elections in addition to regional parliaments. 
I believe it would be better to simply merge these articles into regional election pages, which would include both governoral and regional parliament. They're at the same level, and that's the way it's done on the more complete russian wiki, allowing for consistent linking. What do you think?

Talk:Ventus (novel)

message: I noticed that disambiguation page for Ventus has been reversed. Perhaps there should be a discussion here about how this is compatible with Wikipedia:Disambiguation guidelines.
It depends in a couple of things. If there is no primary topic, the ambiguous term should be the title of a disambiguation page (or redirect to a different disambiguation page.... An exception may be appropriate when recentism and educational value are taken into account, especially if one of these topics is a vital article. 
Secondly if there are two or three other topics, it is still possible to use a hatnote which lists the other topics explicitly, but if this would require too much text (roughly, if the hatnote would extend well over one line on a standard page), then it is better to create a disambiguation page and refer only to that.

Talk:The Final Terror

message: actor Louis Smith withdrew from his position on the film prior to filming. The movie was not filmed in California and Oregon it was filmed in Massachusetts. And was made to look as if it was filmed in California. I am the actor Albert Ragge (straw cowboy hat) and starred  opposite Daryl Hannah in the film, as a last minute replacement for Lewis Smith. It was actually filmed in the late spring of 1980. My name was misprinted in the film credits as Lewis Smith because the credits had already been purchased and completed. And the cost to change them was too much. So it shows the wrong actor's name as the character who plays Daryl Hannah's character's boyfriend. 2601:19B:8000:1000:E01E:6917:98B1:D3B2 (talk) 14:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

message: MB your edit may have unintentionally reverted more than intended. Can you explain what was wrong with the previous edit? Regards. EELagoon (talk) 06:07, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I intentionally went back to a stable version before the May 20 edit war that kept changing the location from Somaliland to Somalia, and left maintenance errors due to use of deprecated coordinate syntax. The article has said Somaliland for almost two years, the article is tagged as being "within the scope of WP:WikiProject Somaliland" and the article on Borama says that Borama is the capital of Somaliland. So it is obvious to me that I restored the correct version. If you wish to make politically motivated changes to this article, you will need to discuss and gain consensus first. MB 18:00, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That's nonsense. This article falls under the scope of Wikiproject Somalia and the 9 years previous before it was changed to Somaliland it said Somalia. The references cited in the article themselves say Somalia.  EELagoon (talk) 07:31, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, I did mis-type "Borama is the capital of Somaliland", I should have said "Borama is the capital and the largest city of the northwestern Awdal region of Somaliland". The point is still the same - if Borama is in Somaliland and Awal is in (or a region of} Somaliland, then so is Borama Airport. This article is not the place to dispute this. MB 05:16, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the perfect place to dispute it. Your point is negated by the references in the article. Somaliland itself is recognised internationally as part of Somalia. You also said that because the article was such for 2 years it's the correct version however I have shown you that the content was changed despite what the references said.

Talk:Tungsten, Northwest Territories

Places in NWT (Northwest Territories) would have later gone into area code 867.  My undestanding is that 403-777 was then taken for use at Calgary.  867-777 came into use at Inuvik (had been 403-979, but 867-979 was taken by Iqaluit, whose 979 prefix came into area 867 from area 819, not from area 403.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 16:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There was no merge to another exchange.  The nearest by road was Watson Lake, and it made no sense to transfer service there.  There was virtually no telephone traffic in and out of Tungsten, so the service was simply turned down.  Any caretakers at the mine would use the VHF radio telephone base station in the area, and by then, satellite telephony was emerging (Iridium or such).  Had the mine reopened with a community of resident miners, the exchange might have been revived, and only replaced with a digital switch if one was surplus to the company's needs after being replaced with a larger unit in another community.  As of 1995, digital replacement would have been essential to be compatible with the NANP switch to interchangeable NPA codes.

replies: text: According to the Canada Flight Supplement, Tungsten (Cantung) Airport, which serves the mine is still on GMT–08:00 (with no change to DST) and I would assume the community uses the same time zone. This would have been because the site was served from Yukon rather than the NWT. I don't think that Tungsten was ever on MST but always on PST.

Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Vote/Monsieurdl

message: Thanks for those who supported me and who really read what I had to say. I knew coming in that most of those who would Oppose me would judge me strictly based upon experience, and on the very first day my nightmare was realized. I still hold to my belief that you need not be an admin to do the very best job at arbitrating cases.
I'm not giving up, for there are a whole lot of historical articles that need dire work, and now I will have more free time. There are perhaps many more cases of arbitration on talk pages in one day than go to ArbCom in a month, and so on to the challenges ahead I go!
Thanks again!
Monsieurdl
P.S. "Meaningless platitudes" is too harsh for me. If I would have known I would have been superficially judged based upon just a candidate statement, I would have not answered any questions. I can accept being opposed for my experience, but I cannot accept my direct tackling of the relevance of the position as 'meaningless'.
This is the kind of attitude that turns off people from even trying to put out an effort to try and improve things here. I am very dissapointed that trying to make a difference would result in this- I'm not saying this for attention, but to show people that what they say can sometimes have an effect on people.
