Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Locke Cole/Proposed decision

message: David Levy abused his sysop powers in blocking Netoholic three times, despite being involved in disputes with him both previously and at the time.
There are 900 sysops. Let another one do it; don't fight your own private war.
David Levy is reprimanded in the strongest possible terms for abusing his sysop powers whilst engaged in a dispute, and should be aware that any further examples seen by the Committee will likely lead to his loss of sysop status. David Levy is reminded to seek assistance from fellow, uninvolved adminstrators to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest in the future.
: I considered blocking him, but decided I wasn't involved enough to know whether such a block would be justified or not, based on the details of the case, and afraid that Neto would misrepresent my actions as harassment.  Sucks to see David punished for enforcing policies when I could have helped. — Omegatron 13:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I also have problems with this.  David has shown great restraint and ability to work with Netoholic under the best and worst conditions.  The controversy came after the blocks, not before.  He was not involved with any dispute with Netoholic.  I chose not to block myself though I was familiar enough with the case but did not want to have to deal with the likely fallout - I applaud his diligence and courage.  --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 15:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm confused as to what distinction is being drawn here.  If it's true that I "used [my] sysop powers in blocking Netoholic three times on the 2nd, 9th, and 11th of March 2006, despite being involved in disputes with him both previously and at the time" (which I obviously deny, given the fact that no such dispute existed at the time), that automatically constitutes abuse.

Talk:Al Leiter

message: Massive cleanup needed, very poorly written!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Chipahoy82 (talk • contribs) 23:06, 14 April 2006
Al deserves better than this.  Aside from the organizational issues, this article focuses excessively on Al's last gasps as a pro.  More needs to be said about the great stuff and ace status Leiter used to enjoy.  A casual reader would have no idea how this player won 162 games or anchored the Mets' staff from 1998-2004.  A good place to start would be Leiter's early "elite prospect" status with the Yankees, his early injury woes with Toronto, and his emergence with Florida.
Information about Al's career and recent retirement is still all over the internet, so this wouldn't take too much effort to research.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.213.97 (talk) 04:16, 7 July 2006
Leiter will still be working at YES, in addition to his duties at the MLB network.  The way the article is written, it makes it sound like he's only doing the MLB network. Kjscotte34 (talk) 18:08, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Classics Selected by Brian Wilson

message: Each track has a quote from the liner notes.  Brian Wilson wrote these liner notes, and the album was released on Capitol Records, a U.S. label, so why are there British spellings in the quotes?  I don't have the liner notes in front of me, but I'm 99.9% certain Brian Wilson did not use British spellings in his liner notes.  Are these quotes therefore inaccurate, and are not actual quotes?  To use quotation marks, but not to accurately quote what was written, seems like improper behavior for Wikipedia.  2605:6000:E8D9:3B00:5957:748F:A929:F905 (talk) 22:57, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge with [[municipality]]

message: This article appears to make vague references to forms of City council in Australia and the USA, but a city council is a form of government to be found all over the world. The article needs heavy cleanup to reflect the many different international forms of city councils. In particular, references to "aldermen" and "strong mayors" would be most unhelpful in jurisdictions where these do not exist. The article also over-emphasises the power of mayors; in particular, in the UK, many mayors are merely ceremonial figureheads who hold little formal power. DWaterson 19:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out."

message: Edit of 28 November 2007, 00:02 by 24.234.24.5:
It should also be noted that the term 'Heisenberg Compenator' was used several times in the series when the bit of technology was unknown. Such an example would be when the Ferengi captured the Entprise during the Next Generation Era. Riker explained the the invading Ferengi that the Heisenberg Compensators needed be kept at a certain level or the ship would explode. I'm paraphrasing, and this does require some research, but point is, 'Heisenberg Compenator' is a generic term for unknown Star Trek technology.

replies: text: They're not really the same entity, though:  the museum only owns and operates a few miles of trackage near Ely, while the Nevada Northern is roughly 150 miles long.  The railway has a very different history from that of the museum (and hopefully a distinct future, as well), and the museum and railway are owned by different entities.  I'd recommend keeping the articles separate. Pitamakan 03:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thinking about it a bit more -- while I do support keeping the museum article separate, it might make some sense to merge the BHP Nevada Railroad into the main Nevada Northern one, since BHP was just a short-term owner/operator of the overall Nevada Northern line.

Run this until say, 3/31/06 then stick with the outcome?
2 questions:
 1- Should the category be "Well-known and Notable practitioners" or "Notable practitioners"?
 2- Should the distinction be "Notable" or "Other Notable"?
I'll cast mine here:
 1- Notable practitioners
 2- Well Known for 1st part, Other Notable for second.
