Sabin

Hey EvilZak Why did you delete my attemt to add Khan Sabin to this page? (from User:Georko, moved to talk by User:Duk)

Georko, your link on Sabin wasn't formatted correctly, that's why it was removed. I reformatted it and added it back. I also created the page you wanted at Khan Sabin.--Duk 06:25, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Shwing

I'm a student of the creator of Shwing.com and I'd like to know why you deleted my entry under "shwing" She's a great teacher who's trying to do some admirable things with her website. If you have information for MySpace.com, why not for Shwing.com under the title "shwing?"

The article shwing is already in use, where it describes the term "shwing". I think it would be best to start a new article (shwing.com is a descriptive name that differentiates itself from the word shwing) rather than put both words on the same article. Sorry I wasn't clear about that. --EvilZak 08:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks EvilZak! I have two exams. I shall return :)

¡The fastest way to deal with a pimple is to pop it!

This is a fact. Facts are not POV. If you can name a faster way to remove a pimple, I shall withdraw my claim. Frankly, you have no grounds for your reversions. ¿Why do you want to bait me into an editwar? The facts are on my side. --— Ŭalabio 06:40, 2005 May 24 (UTC)

I'm reverting because pimple-popping doesn't treat pimples. In case you haven't been reading the text you've been editing:

Popping a pimple or any physical acne treatment should not be attempted by anyone
but a qualified dermatologist. Pimple popping irritates skin, can spread the infection
deeper into the skin and can cause permanent scarring.

As far as POV is concerned, I'd just love to see you try and defend the part where you told the reader to ignore dermatologists as being NPOV. --EvilZak 06:52, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

You do realize that it is in their best interest that we pay them for treating our acne whether we need their treatment or not. One of the techniques dermatologists use on patients with no patience (such as the afternoon after school on the day before Prom-Night) is popping. Supposedly, only they know how to do it right so as not to cause scarring. I do not trust them to set aside their financial interest and be candid. In this respect, I am very jaded and cynical.

Kelly's Directory of Grayshott

Hi, I cleared the copyvio tag on this article; anything published prior to 1923 in the US is PD, also a list (or plain facts) can't be copyrighted, only creative content. --Duk 15:04, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Otherwise I'll consider that the tag was placed in a war edit as a measure for censorship. In this case I'll do nothig but stop writing or editing in the wikipedia :-)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
