Since it's Pacitalia's character, I would say that the burdern of proof rests with you to show that his character was in fact doing something that he didnt want it to. In any case, I'm not really sure if "panic" is a very good word. This situation looks far more like a depression than a 'panic' to me. A 'panic' implies a swift event that leaves little in the way of lasting damage, whereas this event has led to hyperinflation, stock market crashes, changing legislation, changing international relations, etc. etc. [[User:Praetonia|Praetonia]] 22:04, 4 March 2006 (GMT)

*scratches head* I am unsure where the NPOV dispute is coming from. There's no substantive difference between "suggestion" and "demand", this is just a semantics game that serves no real purpose. Besides which, I rather think it's inappropriate for two parties who are as non-neutral as Praetonia and Pacitalia to be throwing the NPOV flag.

"Panic"

I admittedly picked "Panic" in part because I didn't expect the recession to have as long lasting an effect as it had. I also picked "Panic" because I liked the name and considered it as part of a series of "panics" that existed in the United States. If you look at the Wiki on the Panic of 1819, it'll point you to other "Panics" that were also depressions. I also didn't want to be presumptuous and call it a depression.

NPOV

Would you mind explaining exactly what the NPOV problem was Pacitalia? Sarzonia

The one major problem is your diction. For example, when Sigurimasso talked about Sarzo resigning because his continual stranglehold on the Sarzonian presidency was undemocratic, it wasn't a demand, it was a suggestion. Albeit an untimely one. Still, demand makes the reader assume Sigurimasso was flying off the handle, spit in every direction, busy hands etc. Just have a look at it, as I will, and decide what words could be neutralised a bit more, then we can remove the notice. (( Pacitalkia )) Time sent: 23:43, 2 March 2006 (GMT)

I'm not willing to change that from "demand" to "suggestion." Frankly, the burden of proof is on you to prove it's not a demand since you're the one "suggesting" Sarzo resign.Sarzonia 14:35, 3 March 2006 (GMT)

  • scratches head* I am unsure where the NPOV dispute is coming from. There's no substantive difference between "suggestion" and "demand", this is just a semantics game that serves no real purpose. Besides which, I rather think it's inappropriate for two parties who are as non-neutral as Praetonia and Pacitalia to be throwing the NPOV flag.
