== Request for comment ==

Hi. A little back, after a Talk page discussion, I placed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Radiative-forcings.svg this graph] on [[Global Warming]] with "''Relative weight of warming/cooling [[radiative forcing]] components as estimated by the [[IPCC Fourth Assessment Report]]''" as the description, and I had given some thought to have the description clear and brief for non-experts. But that was later changed by [[User:UBeR|UBeR]] (while I was blocked) to "''The [[radiative forcing]] in 2005 relative to 1750 as estimated by the [[IPCC Fourth Assessment Report]]''," but I think this description is not as informative, if not being outright cryptic, for a typical user of Wikipedia articles for this type of subject. I had created a new Talk page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_warming#Wording_on_the_Radiative_Forcing_Components_graph section] proposing changing the wording back to its original, and asked for comments. Only [[User:UBeR|UBeR]] responded a couple of days later with just ''I like my wording, actually.'' I asked him to explain that but he didn't and after a couple of more days, I finally changed the wording back to the original. He then almost immediately reverted me. I reverted back and explained on his talk page how he had ample opportunity to comment before hand but didn't. But he only reverted again, and appears not to want to get into a serious discussion. I have to avoid even a hint of getting into a revert war (which he knows all about), so I'm just requesting some other GW regulars to stop by and offer an opinion on the wording if they have one. Thanks in advance. -BC aka [[User:Callmebc|Callmebc]] ([[User talk:Callmebc|talk]]) 16:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Source for the section in "Movement to impeach George W. Bush"

Oh I know it was, it's on a lot of websites, the information is freely distributed. I know of the nightweed website, I sent her a few messages regarding current issues. I won't be putting it back on the article for impeaching bush because another person made a good point why it shouldn't be there. It's because it is more like regular evidence, rather than a direct impeachable offense. It may be on a different wikipedia article, but one that it fits with better.

  • The US and the UK are the 2 largest foreign troop contingencies yes. You could equally have chosen an image from each force, but given all the patriotic userboxes on your userpage it's pretty clear what your intent was. --WebHamster 02:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, the US and UK are the two largest entities. But being as I was not readily able to find a UK-related Iraq War image, I chose instead to represent the ground and air fronts instead of individual nations (again, the US and UK were not the only militaries involved.) If you can find some UK images, I would be happy to consider them. But this alone is not a basis for deletion. ~ S0CO(talk|contribs) 02:54, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am wondering why you have decided (twice now) to delete a reference which is archived at CommonDreams.org, despite having the original reference at the Associated Press also intact. Is there something in Wikipedia policy that mandates that any article archived by a partisan site is unsuitable for inclusion in an article? Silly rabbit (talk) 16:34, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of fact, there is. But the bigger question is why an archive link is even needed when the original is still available on AP's website. ~ S0CO(talk|contribs) 16:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the WP:CITE link, I see. Thanks for the info. In the future, you may want to consider fixing the issue with the reference rather than outright deletion. Silly rabbit (talk) 16:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. ~ S0CO(talk|contribs) 16:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

9/11

Talk:9/11 For future reference, Xiutwel, if you want your opinions here to be respected, please return the favor.

I was under the impression I was doing pretty well, but you show me I can still improve on that. I am being very patient with dozens of editors who are extremely frustrated and rude, and violate wikipedia policy all the time, erasing facts whereever they find them, because they have some dogmatic belief in their government's virtues. Despite this irritating behaviour, I am doing my utmost to remain polite. Please let me know specifically when you feel I'm being unrespectful, if you want me to be able to change. (You might wanna consider giving the same pointer to some other editors on that page, though.) — Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (talk) 02:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The wording of your post here is yet another example of the incivility which I originally called you on: you have consistently failed to assume good faith. If you cannot be brought to see the meaning of this, I shall not waste my time trying to explain it to you. As it is, the matter in which this dispute arose has now been closed. ~ S0CO(talk|contribs) 06:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request for comment

Hi. A little back, after a Talk page discussion, I placed this graph on Global Warming with "Relative weight of warming/cooling radiative forcing components as estimated by the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report" as the description, and I had given some thought to have the description clear and brief for non-experts. But that was later changed by UBeR (while I was blocked) to "The radiative forcing in 2005 relative to 1750 as estimated by the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report," but I think this description is not as informative, if not being outright cryptic, for a typical user of Wikipedia articles for this type of subject. I had created a new Talk page section proposing changing the wording back to its original, and asked for comments. Only UBeR responded a couple of days later with just I like my wording, actually. I asked him to explain that but he didn't and after a couple of more days, I finally changed the wording back to the original. He then almost immediately reverted me. I reverted back and explained on his talk page how he had ample opportunity to comment before hand but didn't. But he only reverted again, and appears not to want to get into a serious discussion.
