Talk:Martian Free Trade Agreement

I for one am not recognising Mars-B members as signatories and I sincerely doubt others will. Tarasovka for one has expressed that it is not recognising them. Just adding them to the wiki would be highly inappropriate in my opinion. --|Knoot|KNOOtalk 20:57, 30 September 2005 (GMT)

Was there real need to remove me from the list of signatories just because four of the members - Pilon, Knootoss, Sentient People and Der Angst - have an I.G.N.O.R.E. on me? Allanea 21:32, 30 September 2005 (GMT)

Question: Placing an NPOV tag means the neutrality of the article is in dispute. So tell me - what aspect of the article is deemed as a violation of neutrality? Sunset 09:11, 1 October 2005 (GMT)

At the usual and disturbingly frequent risk of making this one of those awful " all about you " affairs, Allanea, you have been banned from the more " legitimate " (subjective) R.P. Mars board, and this being the Martian Free Trade Agreement, well ... Meanwhile, I'm glad to join. Ties in with my VERITAS membership and general IC disposition nicely enough, I think.

From NSwiki's perspective, every nation extant on NationStates exists. Wiki articles should not take positions that claim that other nations do not exist when in fact they do from an NPOV. The way I see it, the only way to objectively deal with this is to list all signatories to the treaty duly recognized under the terms of the treaty. If somebody doesn't recognize that the signatories in question are not qualified due to an IGNORE, then the IGNORE simply extends to that part of the article. It's just like, for instance, Allanea - if you IGNORE Allanea, than obviously you don't think the information in that article is valid. That doesn't mean that the article should be deleted. --Goobergunch|? 09:58, 1 October 2005 (GMT)

That may be your take on this, and I see that you already added your point of view to the general disclaimer without discussing it. Fact remains that the presence of these non-roleplayers is contested because they are not Martian at all, and therefore the wiki should not just blindly assume that it is all 'okay' because it leeds credence to their claims that their Mars is really interacting with all of The Planet Mars. I do not want people to think I trade or roleplay with these people. Either the situation is resolved (talking to Sunset right no) or you get a seperate 'B-list' list of Mars-B nations explaining that they are not recognised by all MFTA members because their planet does not exist. This is only fair. --|Knoot|KNOOtalk 11:17, 1 October 2005 (GMT)
