== CHDI for April - missing? ==
  
I have removed the clean-up tag from [[violet]]. I believe that this constitutes a part of NS lore, and as such the admitted irregularity of the article is acceptable. I have commented as such on [[NSwiki:Cleanup]]. If you still believe clean-up is required, perhaps we could discuss it first: we don't want to be ping-ponging the tag in and out of the article.[[User:Gruenberg2|<font color="green">Gruen</font>]][[User_talk:Gruenberg2|<font color="red">2alk</font>]] 20:33, 6 November 2005 (GMT)

:I don't see what can be cleaned up. It's taken from elsewhere, and I don't see how quoted statements can be changed. Are we going to change each one to 'according to TSM, "..."'? I agree fully with your keenness to clean-up NSwiki: but I believe this article represents a special, allowable exception, similar to the [[Hall of Ex-Nations]]. There are many other articles on [[NSwiki:Cleanup|the cleanup page]] more in need of attention.[[User:Gruenberg2|<font color="green">Gruen</font>]][[User_talk:Gruenberg2|<font color="red">2alk</font>]] 02:21, 7 November 2005 (GMT)

==Vandalism on [[Jey]]==
  
#Thanks for noticing; sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who reads this pap. 8^)
+
Yes, Ceo, they are just messing around with my page at school. '''[[Jey|<font color="blue">J</font>]][[User:Jey|<font color="red">e</font>]][[User_talk:Jey|<font color="green">y</font>]]''' 17:18, 24 April 2006 (GMT)
#Thanks for caring enough to leave a message; few people do.
+
#I'll try to explain my rationale (in my normal longwinded way 8^) )and you can tell me how it could be improved for my benefit and the benefit of the NSWiki community.
+
  
When I named my three main branches of the armed services, I deliberately (for RP and for NSWiki reasons) chose abnormal titles.  E.g., the [[Air Service]] would much more commonly be called '''Air Force, Airforce, Air Corps, ''x''ian Air Force, Air Defence Force,''' etc.  This is especially true of the [[Land Service]], where '''Army''' would by far be the natural language (but rejected by me on philosophical and linguistic grounds).
+
:Edit: Also, is there any way for you to block my page from vandalism, yet leave my account still able to edit? '''[[Jey|<font color="blue">J</font>]][[User:Jey|<font color="red">e</font>]][[User_talk:Jey|<font color="green">y</font>]]''' 17:54, 25 April 2006 (GMT)
  
My main entry for all the armed forces is at [[Community Defence Forces]], which incorporates something like your idea of prefixing each entry with "Sober Thought."  While '''Community''' is one of the dropdown options for national pre-titles, I've rarely seen it used.  In fact, my official GP pre-title is now  '''Gemeinde''' (a direct German translation) of Community and in keeping with my RP history of the country, a bilingual French-English country that splits the difference and uses German for certain official purposes.  The combination of "Community," "Defence" spelled with a C and "Forces" with a plural is highly unlikely to occur in any other NSWiki combination.
+
::If you ban [[146.145.221.130]], will I still be able to access my account from the school computer? '''[[Jey|<font color="blue">J</font>]][[User:Jey|<font color="red">e</font>]][[User_talk:Jey|<font color="green">y</font>]]''' 23:39, 26 April 2006 (GMT)
  
Now that I've gone completely insane and NS is becoming more important that RL (I'm not sure if a smiley or a frowney belongs here more), I've greatly expanded the entries for the Land Service, [[Naval Service]] and Air Service so that they need to be broken up. I have elected to use (where sensible and possible) each of the three armed services (and Defence Forces should that become necesssary) as the lead words for my articles.  So [[Air Service fighter]] is a reasonably distinctive title, certainly better than "Fighter" or even "F-1 Fighter" (which applies to my fictional fighter, but is an obvious designation for even a casual observer of military aviation).  Does this make sense?

Would Community Defence fighter make more sense?  I was trying to get all the army articles to file together (so far, they all have numbers as the lead character), the navy ('''[[Community Vessel Destroyer|Community Vessel]]''' series, and perhaps one or two in the future with "Naval Service" as the first two leading words of several in the whole article title) and the air force (which caused the whole issue in the first place).  But just as easily I could have all the unified services' components interfile (e.g., [[Air Service fighter|Community Defence fighter]], Community Defence land formations [awkward and ambiguous meaning of the article I would like to eventually create, namely '''Land Service formations'''], [[Community Vessel Frigate|Community Defence frigate]]).
+
== Adoki deletion ==
  
I am sincerely interested in hearing your opinion and getting advice. I have already had article naming issues; when I started this family of scores of pages, I never imagined I'd have more than one so I used the one-page nation template instead of the factbook one. Then I made a page for my [[real world]] self. Then I added some others, and pretty soon the main page became '''Sober Thought fictional''' which gummed up the works with NSEconomy (because the page name did not exactly match the NS country name). I also called one of my provinces [[North Island]], which was then usurped by a country of the same name.  So I left the country at the main page and put a pointer to other meanings, i.e., [[North Island (Sober Thought)]] which is the preferred wiki way.
+
Thanks for restoring [[Adoki]]. I am a bit concerned about why you deleted it though. While there may have been some speedy deletion criteria it met, it didn't meet many of the other criteria for speedy deletion. The wiki article had its original population in it, but Adoki actually departed from the game at a significant population. Lots of pages linked to it, and it wasn't just a copy and paste of the nation text from the webgame along with an infobox. It has a category of a dozen or so related articles. It is my understanding that an article which is linked to by pages not written by the same author, which isn't a copy and paste / trivial article, doesn't qualify for speedy deletion at all. Finally, while "Adoki" no longer exists, it is now represented in a new puppet "The Allied States of Commonwealth Ambara" (see: [[Commonwealth of Peoples]]), although in fairness only those following [[User:Owain]]'s roleplaying could be expected to know that. --[[User:Pantocratoria|Pantocratoria]] 03:18, 21 November 2006 (GMT)

== About [[Canada]] ==
  
Forgot my waltzing mathildas, I rarely remember to sign in so it frequently doesn't matter.  
+
It seems you've placed an ad concerning, "unverifiable or subjective content that seems to have been included for the purpose of promoting the region."
  
[[User:Sober Thought|Sober Thought]] 03:50, 21 November 2005 (GMT)
+
I disagree and would like to kindly ask what section are you referring to in an attempt to correct the text.
  
===Round two===
+
I would be lying if I said it didn't pain me greatly to be publicly accused of impartiality after having dedicated so much time to creating an attractive and pleasant series of Wiki documents.
I can see how your idea of an italicised expanatory header would work; I did the same for [[North Island]] and [[North Island (Sober Thought)]].
+
  
However, there are some problems with your other suggestion: article titles will get extremely unwieldy, e.g. "Sober Thought Community Defence Forces Air Service warning and control" for the AWACS airplanes.  How about this for a synthesis:
+
[[Canada6]]
  
"Sober Thought Community Defence Forces" for the main entry, then "CDF [sic, not spelled out]Air Service," "CDF air warning and control," "CDF 9 series divisions," "CDF cruiser," etc.  That way, there can be no confusion over the main article armed forces article being about my country (and thanks for mentioning the [[:Category: Armed Forces]] bit -- I would have discovered it eventually, but you saved me lots of time), and the subsidiary articles will file together (although not by environmental service). 
+
== TheUnitedStatesof_America and the Christianity article ==
  
One snare might be that somebody else out there wants to use the intialism "CDF," but I say tough; first come, first serve.  I had to make do with the [[North Island (Sober Thought)]] bit (which I would have offered any way, had the country of [[North Island]] come later and asked; it seems fair to give NS nations first dibs on article names rather than units of NS nations), so they can make do with a different acronym or a spelled out name.
+
[[User:TheUnitedStatesof_America]] has added a large section to the [[Christianity]] article which amounts to, at best, an apologetic for a fundamentalist Christian sect. It reads almost word for word like the last brochure I had thrust into my hands by crazy people in King George Square. It is highly POV and has no value as encyclopedic content. Is there a way to stop this user editing this particular article? --[[User:Pantocratoria|Pantocratoria]] 02:40, 29 December 2006 (GMT)
  
Sound good?  I'm adding a few other articles, not all of them military, today. I'll use my current system till we get this worked out, then MOVE and DELETE to clean it all up.
+

I also took a look at most of your pages, made a few simple typo changes, added a few questions/suggestions/observations, and tried to fix a pie chart that seemed to interfer with the text below.  I don't think I was successful with the latter, but I hope the former two were useful to you.

== Sober Thought round three ==

+
Pacitalia --
+
 
+
At [[User talk:Sober Thought]] there's a thorough (I hope) and consequentally long list of how I plan to fix the problems or issues you and others have identified in the [[:Category:Sober Thought]] articles.  Some of these will help (or at least impact) upon the NSWiki in general.
+
 
+
If you have time in the next week, could you please give them a once over, state your objections, indicate your assent or make suggestions?  I don't know enough Russian (or even generic Slavic) to say thanks, but I'll give it in my crappy Czech: Dêk (fam.) or Dêku (form.). That's supposed to be a hácek (again, no accent possible for the c in the word that describes the hácek!) not a circonflex/circumflex, an option not available in the palette below.
+
 
+
I'll start using the proposed system right away (since it does conform more closely to Wiki conventions than some of my past articles).  Within a week I'll start retroactively applying the system by MOVEing, #REDIRECTing and otherwise messing with existing articles.
+
 
+
It's there for others, too.

+
Thanks.

Just a quick thanks for your involvement in the Wiki thus far, in particular with respect to helping out with Sober Thought's articles. Also, a suggestion: your [[User talk:Ceorana#Introduction|first section]] might be better, or rather more noticed by others, if you de-sectioned it, so it would show above the table of contents.

==Re: admin move request==

Sure. That was actually a cock-up by me. It gets more complex, though: so far as I can tell, the nation's name is actually [http://www.nationstates.net/the_land_of_lusitans The Land of Lusitans]. I've moved the page to [[The Land of Lusitans]] (and left a note on [[Talk:The Land of Lusitans|the talk page]] noting that the article title is in fact in line with [[NSwiki:Naming conventions|Naming conventions]]). I'll mop up the mess now. Thanks for pointing this out. [[User:Gruenberg2|<font color="green">Gruen</font>]][[User_talk:Gruenberg2|<font color="red">2alk</font>]] 19:17, 30 November 2005 (GMT)

We must stop meeting like this. Yes, you're right: I should use the subst prefix. I don't generally 'welcome' many people, in part because I'm a cold, miserly and inhospitable bastard, but also because, given how relatively new to the game I am, it won't necessarily always be well-received.
+
:Problem, and I'm not sure if it's solveable, but if you have any thoughts, I'd be interested to hear them. When we use <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki>, the <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> variable shows up. I tried substituting in <nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki>, but that just made everyone called Welcome (see the page history of [[User talk:Pracowity]]). Can you think of a way to avoid this?

As for [[:Template:Preview|<nowiki>{{preview}}</nowiki>]], I'm in two minds: on the one hand, it is decidedly visible as it is, which is good; on the other hand, I do agree it's slightly too stark. Ordinarily, I'd advise you to [[NSwiki:be bold]], but as this is a commonly used template, I'm not sure. Perhaps we could come up with a template at a namespace, and if it seems to be an improvement, transfer it across?

Thanks for moving [[The Free Land of Discoraversalism]] to [[Discoraversalism]].  I think we probably need to update [[NSwiki:Info_boxes]] as it does instruct new users to "change NationName to your nation's name, exactly as it appears in NationStates".  That would seem to be directing new users to include the pretitle.  [[User:Hwictkwitshabcalta|Hwictkwitshabcalta]] 01:08, 10 December 2005 (GMT)

Adoki deletion

Thanks for restoring Adoki. I am a bit concerned about why you deleted it though. While there may have been some speedy deletion criteria it met, it didn't meet many of the other criteria for speedy deletion. The wiki article had its original population in it, but Adoki actually departed from the game at a significant population. Lots of pages linked to it, and it wasn't just a copy and paste of the nation text from the webgame along with an infobox. It has a category of a dozen or so related articles. It is my understanding that an article which is linked to by pages not written by the same author, which isn't a copy and paste / trivial article, doesn't qualify for speedy deletion at all. Finally, while "Adoki" no longer exists, it is now represented in a new puppet "The Allied States of Commonwealth Ambara" (see: Commonwealth of Peoples), although in fairness only those following User:Owain's roleplaying could be expected to know that. --Pantocratoria 03:18, 21 November 2006 (GMT)

About Canada

It seems you've placed an ad concerning, "unverifiable or subjective content that seems to have been included for the purpose of promoting the region."

I disagree and would like to kindly ask what section are you referring to in an attempt to correct the text.

I would be lying if I said it didn't pain me greatly to be publicly accused of impartiality after having dedicated so much time to creating an attractive and pleasant series of Wiki documents.

TheUnitedStatesof_America and the Christianity article

User:TheUnitedStatesof_America has added a large section to the Christianity article which amounts to, at best, an apologetic for a fundamentalist Christian sect. It reads almost word for word like the last brochure I had thrust into my hands by crazy people in King George Square. It is highly POV and has no value as encyclopedic content. Is there a way to stop this user editing this particular article? --Pantocratoria 02:40, 29 December 2006 (GMT)

I've blocked the user for six months for violating the vandalism convention. (( Pacitalkia )) Time sent: 03:47, 29 December 2006 (GMT)
