political question i not sure if this is political and in fact i'm hoping it is not at wp an i you suggested a fresh start in the context of a discussion i have not followed my interest is only in that term where did it come from this term does not appear to be associated with any wikipedia conventions fresh start an anti maastricht treaty group within the british conservative party opposed to the maastricht treaty and fresh start detergent a colgate palmolive laundry product are unrelated if it's just a term you've introduced in this unique setting and nowhere else fine i just wondered i attempted to use a similar concept in a military related setting at talk hy ga helicopter destroyer reset but it fell on deaf ears in retrospect it seems likely that it would have made no difference if there had been a pre existing link to reset military term but perhaps it may make a difference in future the political question has to do with this military term how do depoliticize the article i'm about to create it seems likely that there may be numbers of editors and users for whom american military terminology becomes a priori political before it's even possible to reach the content threshold which implies something like your fresh start as a general rule most of the new wikipedia articles i've created have to do with pre meiji japan and this odd overly sensitive hesitation simply doesn't arise however i'm not unaware of those critical voices on the francophone internet decrying the american bias in the world wide web and i've noticed similar comments across a range of english language wikipedia articles other than searching for british and commonwealth military specialists in an effort to discover a congruent british and commonwealth term can you think of something off hand which might be relevant in creating an article which would have broader usefulness in wikipedia contexts like you yourself created a further point i really like the term fresh start not as much as reset can you foresee any reason why i shouldn't re name the article about the british activists in the 's as fresh start british politics this would leave something like your fresh start in the primary position final question when i noticed your sub heading my first blush plan was to create fresh start as a re direct page but now that i think about it maybe the perceived political problems with an article about an american military term would be diminished if the article itself were entitled fresh start with reset as a re direct page do you have any thoughts to share on this unanticipated subject
