Hi - old news article

edit

I want to avoid a revert war.

I understand and have read the discussion on the talk pages of the article. The article, as a news document, is historical. By editing this article you are attempting to re-write the consensus (and lack of consensus) of the time of its publishing. This appears to me to be very POV, and harmful to Wikinews as a reference. Please revert the article, and replace the disputed tag if you do not agree with the contents as they stood at that time. - Amgine 03:40, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Surely the article's content at time X is preserved in the article's history page? And if an article is editable, why shouldn't someone edit it? Is this a wiki? - Simeon 04:10, 9 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Removing dispute tag

edit

Please do not remove dispute tags without achieving consensus. - Amgine/talk 06:10, 8 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Not sure if everyone agrees with this. I don't for one. Remove as you see fit imho. We will be sure to ban you on grounds of excessive edit war if things get out of hand (or so I am led to believe - I tend to disagree with this sentiment too because I am 100% skeptical about some administrator's ability to define 'excessive' reasonably.) I would like to see less administration and more editing on this site. - Simeon 04:13, 9 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Mentioned the administrative abuse re; the stop-loss story in a new watercooler discussion.

edit

also put in my vote to publish the stop-loss article(accurate version)

Hey Paul, thanks for the support. I brought this to the dispute resolution page. Were you going to also, or are you posting a different dispute there? Either way, I stated my case there. Comments appreciated. - TalkHard 04:01, 9 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Ditto

I welcome the opportunity to work through mediation with you. I will be posting my statement on our disagreement there. Thanks for your involvement! - Amgine/talk 04:33, 9 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Your edits

edit

Now you've explained what you want to do, I agree, and have edited the article to your last version. I hope that's satisfactory to you, and you will contribute further to Wikinews! Dan100 (Talk) 20:43, 10 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks!

Of course... much appreciated. - Amgine/talk 06:22, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
