I can see where this is going. All I can say is that I requested this action in effect but not knowing all the ins and out of Wikipedia did not address it to this body. If my body of information and experience is the entire TALK page of The English Patient (film) then what I can surmise is that this "dispute" is not about "three words" but the tactics in general used by the disputing volunteer about the article discussion in general. There appears to be a pattern that someone establishes a discussion on a point then what follows is a discussion that then calls into question by the disputee the motive for the other participant in the discussion as if in effect attempting to scare off the differing view. First let us address the "three words". The fact of the matter is that is it necessary to establish that the burn person use to be a dashing archaeologist in the total understanding of the film? No. If it is then why is it not crucial to qualify fate/romance/etc in order to establish no confusion as to how each had a role with the characters? Also, the three words speak to a statement of fact immediately established by the preceding statement of fact that things come to and end. The disputee seems reluctant to use the technique of inferred sequence to stand for text that in a logical thought process fills in for unstated text. As concerns confusion, it was established that the appropriate description should be used for Almasy's involvement in the Cave of Swimmers. The disputee went on about how inappropriate was the word "find" as if it had been suggested as appropriately neutral when in fact it had not. I can only surmise that since the word came at the end of the discussion of the proposal it may have had a misunderstood striking point of reference. Then after it is agreed that appropriate word(s) are needed and then suggested that they are not deemed appropriate by the disputee for reasoning that reflects a misunderstanding as to why. The disputee would like it to be understood that the words "map and explore" are not suitable reflections of Almasy's involvement with the Cave because mapping infers that only western cultures impose that action on those that do not have it and that since the time of Columbus exploration is synonymous with genocide. Talk about fallacious presumptions. Maps have long existed in non-western cultures but it can safely be said that these maps lacked longitude and latitude which although a western development is a tool by which even non-western cultures find useful and not an affront to their culture by its use. In fact, it is not a disregard of physical descriptions by which to locate a site (i.e., the back of a woman) but a more precise means of locating sites. As for genocide, now really, that is a leap in labeling all exploration efforts which are not reserved to western cultures.
Then the piece de resistance is when the disputee calls into question the sincerity of not being interested in the matter at hand.
I apologize for the length of this but what needs to be said, needs to be said. And as the disputee has stated clearly, that is accurate and factual.
I guess I should have put the signage at the end but forgot. But let me also say that the disputee would like for this situation to be portrayed as someone being unreasonable but all I can say is that someone is not being sincere in the Wikipedia intent.WordWrightUSA (talk) 15:25, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
