== Original welcome message ==

Hello Daniel, welcome to Wikipedia!

== New Imperialism ==

You should reconsider your vote on New Imperialism.

A temp page with an uncertain future that is not a communally edited text but a rival to the main article by one single user should not be advertised as a rival on the main page. PP's temp page was not created not as a communal new edition of an article but as a ''rival'' to a communally drafted text.

It is bad policy to effectively present a reader with two ''alternative'' rival pages. It gives the impression we are offering them two POVs where in fact we are in the business of one NPOV. Right now, the talk page where the temp maximum visibility. The article will be split soon once this dispute is put to rest and there's no reason cut out relevant information. This would set a very bad precedent. Jtdirl, a professional encyclopedist, has repeatedly stated that this goes against (contracted; show full)k we should have one wikimedia log-in for all the languages, wikidictionary, wikiquote, etc. That would save a lot of hassle. Unfortunately I didn't note down the source data, only the results. (Too lazy). It is true that there are many interresting correlations that one could look for in such data. Maybe some time when I've got half a day I can spend on the wikipedia I'll collect the sourcedata aswell. --[[User:Snoyes|snoyes]] 23:48, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Sorry, you're right I did. Thanks for changing the attribution to the correct Andre Engles. [[User:JamesDay|JamesDay]] 18:41, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

==Editorializing==

Sorry, I should have kept it to myself. I just get so tired some times... 

I did check out the matter in question:

*a cursory check of [[User:Petermanchester]]'s contributions, and they seem reasonable for a new user. 
*two of NightCrawler's recent edits have undermined his credibility in my eyes: his freakin' out on [[Talk:Phenol]], and his "REAL input" remark on [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship]]

So in the end, I agree with you. -- [[User:Cyan|Cyan]] 19:10, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)
