[edit] Number One

You wrote:

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed analysis. I can agree that

  • the only time a Village official mentions Number 1 is in response to queries from Number 6
  • no Village official actually confirms the existence of Number 1
However, the statement in the article goes beyond that: "...but at no time does Number 2 or his/her subordonates ever mention such a person by that title...". That seems like an overstatement. It seems more accutate to say "...ever confirm the existance of such a person..." or "...ever mention such a person, except in response to Number 6's questions...". -- Seitz 06:02, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
My wording is the problem here as opposed to what is being said. Would you please do me the favor of rewording the entry to more in line with what you are viting? It would be appreciated. A lot of my enties today alone seem to have gotten under a lot of people's skin. I do not like doing that. Thank you. -- Jason Palpatine 07:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I guess, maybe, I wsn't clear enough. Edits made by me elsewhere have come under attack by a select group of admins. An article I created last month was deleted a couple of days ago after AfD discussion ended with a majority of people voting to retain it. Afterwards, edits made by me have been unlaterally reverted. I belive I am close now to being banned. i am asking you to please edit the entry so that it is more acceptable. An edit by me runs the risk of it being reverted immediatly.

Sorry, I've been busy lately. I'll see what I can do. -- Seitz 04:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tivoization

I've been hearing about Tivoization for a while now, but this article finally made it clear to me. I looked up the edit history, and it looks like you made the changes that made it clear. So thank you. -- Steven Fisher 23:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tivoization

I'm not sure adding "...is a term that describes..." adds anything. Every entry could be described as "...a term that describes...". Aside from a technical distinction along the lines of The Treachery Of Images, it seems to say the same thing. -- Seitz 05:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Basically, there's a user that has been removing information about tivoisation from the Linux article claiming the name is a neologism and hence shouldn't be mentioned. It does seem to be a neologism, but that doesn't make the subject it describes any less valid. So my reasoning was that if anything needs changing it's either the title of the article or the definition that should make it clear that this article isn't about a neologism but the subject commonly referred to as this neologism.
But looking back at it, I'm not even sure why it bothers me. It's a valid name for a valid subject and in fact tivoisation is a notable neologism, so perhaps I should just ignore the user. I'll revert the change. 80.233.255.7 16:27, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Ah, I understand. Now that I think about it, the article is both about the origin of the term and and what the term describes. But I imagine there are other articles where both the origin of the English term, as well as what the term describes. -- Seitz 00:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
