- Xoid, you asked for Peer review on this 'Mech. I couldn't agree with you that it was fluffy, or maybe I just don't think 'fluffy' is bad, in moderation. In fact, I think by attributing the POV perspective as having come from Kerensky, you've moved it into the NPOV realm. I'm hesitant to take it off Peer Review status, because I get the feeling you don't agree, but...I think it passes. And good point about the issue of 'your article.' I'll re-write that explanation to make it less owner's role-oriented, and allow people to bring articles to Project members' attention, so we can do what you & I just did. --Revanche (admin) 11:21, 21 November 2006 (CST)
- Unless it's inaccurate, fluff isn't necessarily a bad thing. While from my experience the Atlas is a damn good assault 'Mech, I wasn't sure if I was going over the top. Understandably, this was 'minor', but that's where most NPOV concerns come from. Even something as subtle as the placement of a comma has been enough to trigger edit wars elsewhere *cough*Wikipedia*cough* (god forbid it ever comes to that), so I felt it prudent to get a second opinion. --Xoid 12:13, 21 November 2006 (CST)
- Well, we could always start an edit war, you know...to get the practice (you french fry-swilling, frog-smelling clone of a nerfherder). But, your point is well understood; that's why I'm working primarily on (now) the policy pages, adapting the policy articles and some committee structures for adoption here. Yeah, gotta love that Lamest Ever page; I happened to come across it again last night, with the concerns of anglo-saxon POVs and issues with the definition of 'canon. These people breath the same air that you taint with that frog-smell of your's. ;-) --Revanche (admin) 13:37, 21 November 2006 (CST)
- French?! Thems are fightin' words. Custard pies at ten paces, sir. --Xoid 02:06, 22 November 2006 (CST)
- My heart started racing, until I remembered the context and who was responding. I thought I had something that had pissed someone off! Whew...you win. --Revanche (admin) 10:18, 22 November 2006 (CST)
- I don't like the French, personally, but I've got a good sense of humour (more of a 'twisted' sense of humour, TBH, but I digress). However, the custard pies are an inside joke. (No, I can't tell you, if I did it wouldn't be an inside joke, would it? :-P) --Xoid 11:36, 22 November 2006 (CST)
- Yeah, my 'dislike' for the French started well before it became popular; I got stood up by a French girl. Now their whole country will pay! [insert evil laugh here] [mumbling] Teach 'em to leave me at that ice cream shop by myself for an hour...--Revanche (admin) 13:09, 22 November 2006 (CST)
