So nothing really happened in the 5th century BCE outside of Ancient Greece? This ''really'' ought to be changed. Or the subtitle needs to be changed from "Overview" to "Overview of the 5th Century in Ancient Greece: the Center of the Universe" or something similar. ;) [[User:RobertM525|RobertM525]] 10:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC) |

== question about mediation process == |
|||
I have a potential dispute with an administrator regarding the Sam Harris (author) page. However, it doesn't seem possible to go through the suggested negotiation process since the administrator's immediate response was to lock the page as if I was a vandal instead of a genuine contributor. I have four questions: |
|||
# Why is a citation from a major, accredited news organization with a print publication - WorldNetDaily - considered a poor source, when The Huffington Post and AlterNet, both unaccredited online sites, are acceptable? WorldNetDaily is often cited by the television networks and major newspapers, the other two are not. |
|||
# Is there a comprehensive list of what news sources are considered acceptable and which are considered poor? |
|||
# Why is my citation deleted as being sourced poorly when there are two citations which source Sam Harris's personal website, in apparent violation of the WP:SPS? |
|||
# Is a request for mediation appropriate in this case? How does a new user negotiate with an administrator who shows no indication of being willing to discuss anything. |
|||
Thank you {{unsigned|7ubuntu|13:16, June 13, 2007 (UTC)}} |

:I haven't checked the article, or the discussion between you. So, these answers are only to be taken at face-value. Here goes... |
|||
:#If the source '''''independant''''', ''non-biased'' and ''reliable'' for the issue, then it overcomes the first hurdle to being allowed to be used. See the link below in #2 for more information. |
|||
:#No, but we have our [[WP:RS|'Reliable sources']] guideline. |
|||
:#No idea. Ask the other person? |
|||
:#I suggest a [[WP:MEDCAB|Mediation Cabal]] case :) |

Aherm - did this have to be semi-protected? It doesn't appear to have ever been vandalised. There I was about to happily change the status for [[Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Thermal lance|Thermal lance]] to show you'd taken that case, when I realised I can't edit the page at all! How embarrassing is that..? ;) <span style="font-family: Verdana">[[User:WJBaway|'''WjB'''away]]</span> 08:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC) |

:Chad and I discussed semi-protecting all the crucial elements of the RfM pages (ie. the main page, /Top, /Preload, etc. - the stuff that makes it run). Maybe I was a little over-zealous with OT :) Unprotected. Cheers, '''[[User:Daniel|<span style="color:#2E82F4">Daniel</span>]]''' 08:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC) |

Cheers for that, will add this information when I get home later this evening. You have no idea how many weird looks you get when you're using a laptop in the middle of a shopping centre food court.

==comment== |
|||
Hey. someone left a comment on my page that is hurtful. It said "Wow, you like George Bush, then i guess you like killers." It was the most recent comment on my page. He has been blocked once for making comments like that. Could you look into this. |
|||
God bless you, |

==Soul Calibur IV== |
|||
Could you unprotect [[Soul Calibur IV]]? Concrete information has been released since the last AfD, and I think an appropriate article could be started now. Right now, some of the information is being dumped haphazardly into the [[Soul series]] page, and it's not working well. [[User:Dancter|Dancter]] 19:39, 14 June 2007 (UTC) |

Euro-centuric overview
So nothing really happened in the 5th century BCE outside of Ancient Greece? This really ought to be changed. Or the subtitle needs to be changed from "Overview" to "Overview of the 5th Century in Ancient Greece: the Center of the Universe" or something similar. ;) RobertM525 10:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
