Knoot, I finally looked at Menelmacar. You wore yourself out on some of that editing. Have a look at Definition Lists - would have made it a lot easier on some of them. → Frisbeeteria Θtalk 15:14, 23 Oct 2004 (GMT)

NS Encyclopedia entries

Knoot, all that stuff that you copied from the NationStates Encyclopedia (mostly As and Bs) the first couple of days is just clogging up Category:Roleplaying. Since it doesn't seem likely that the owners are going to drop by anytime soon, and since you're usually the sole Author, and since you also happen to be a Sysop ... how about Speedy Deleting them and let the author recreate as desired. If I edited any of them, it was to add Category:Roleplay as a minor edit, and I hereby officially disavow my actions. Delete away. → Frisbeeteria Θtalk 03:01, 29 Oct 2004 (GMT)

[23:02:34] <@Fris> Goober, does that still meet speedy delete qualifications?

[23:04:23] <@Goobergunch> aye

[23:04:29] <@Fris> good enough

[23:04:30] <@Goobergunch> minor categorization counts don't really count

Quebrada's Wars: A reply from the great, superior, excellent, capitalistic, prosperous republic of Quebrada.

Knoot, Quebrada does NOT godmod. In Quebradan slang it is called cheating. When quebrada goes to war, we fight with honour and prestige (Also we believe in destroying our rivals)In Quebrada we spend some of our budget researching how we can fight war better without suffereing heavy losses or dying of disease during war, etc. Also, real countries have fought back at us (Hence the name Quebrada's Horrible Wars). I have said over again that the quebrada war pages will be filled with text describing the wars, but the NSwiki takes some time to load and takes up a lot of my spare time-so people will have to wait if they want to read about Quebrada's era of Imperialism. I will start filling in those page tommorrow.

• Yeah, the content of the KIST talk page sunk in after I'd already done the automatic wikifying in MS Word. Then I figured, "what the heck, Knoot can always revert it," so I left it done.
• Knoot, Quebrada does NOT godmod. - wow, I'm convinced.
• NS Encyclopedia entries - you gonna wipe these, or do I need to do the {inclusion} thing and wait a couple of weeks to clean it all up? → Fris Θtalk 15:58, 1 Nov 2004 (GMT)

I'm moving some of the offending entries to Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. Since you are the 'author', you can speedy-delete them. → Fris Θtalk 16:18, 1 Nov 2004 (GMT)

CACE edits

Knoot: I do not feel that my edits to the CACE page were meant to be rude to Rezo, to remove a NPOV addition, or to 'defend' CACErs. I feel that his edit added awkward sentence construction and something that could very well be taken as inflammatory. I did try to leave the sense that CACE is not a completely open book while simultaniously removing the parenthesis, which I believe was so long and relatively unrelated that it distracted from the entire point of the sentence.

Further, I'm not sure what point of the edit was - the sentence states (paraphrased) that "CACE believes itself to be an open book" not "CACE is an open book." That in and of itself suggest that there is a difference of opinion on the matter without having to resort to large, out of place notations. At no point was my intention to remove a NPOV addition - which, frankly, I do not think Rezo's edit was - but rather to keep the article grammatically sound and provide a middle group between black and white statements. I am sorry if this action offended you. -- Iansisle 00:46, 15 Nov 2004 (GMT)

I still don't feel that Rezo's edits were in keeping with the NPOV sentiment, but I will take the idea of 'dropping a note' to heart - it's a good suggestion, especially for myself (whom I like to picture as something of a mediator between the KIST and CACE - playing with fire is fun [and hot!]). Apologies to Rezo; I should have dropped him a line first. In the future, I will do so.

I have noticed that my edits have been undone, and I currently am not sure how that affects the situation. I might suggest that, in the spirit of talking and compromising, both sides sit down in the comments section and hammer out a compromise sentence rather than editing and re-editing. I have one in mind, which I am sure will please neither side, but I'll throw it up there anyway. *sigh* The life of a middleman <_<. Iansisle 01:21, 15 Nov 2004 (GMT)

Knootina you are a sexy sexy Dutch beast. That is not an official statement.

categories for Quebrada

Knoot, I deliberately didn't tie Quebrada's pages into the master category lists. His factbook is stuffed with materials that didn't actually happen in the NS world, so I didn't want to link them with the larger picture. Please don't add Category:Wars to his billions of godmode victories against real-world third-world nations. → Fris Θtalk
