Hi, no truce because we are not at war :) I understand your POV (or I think I do) and believe it or not I probably even agree with many parts of it. As WP:NAM put eloquently though:

"On the positive side, many Wikipedians set aside their personal beliefs when they act as editors. Sometimes the fair understanding of site policy means a particular source they agree with just fails to meet Wikipedia:Verifiability, or they delete something they really like because it violates Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, or they play devil's advocate and cite references that contradict their own beliefs because an article has a shortage of contributors and they need to balance other statements. It is best to suppose that each editor observes these high standards until proved otherwise."

and I think going strictly by these policies really does help resolve conflicts, and improve the quality of the articles in the long run by presenting a solution to mitigate different POVs, even if the POV goes against one's own. Cheers. Tendancer 23:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Fire the grid

A tag has been placed on Fire the grid, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Fire the grid. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 08:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I should have added some more information and links, is all. That's why I tagged it as a "stub" thereby requesting that other editors add information, not delete the article. The "Fire the Grid" prediction/theory/rumor has been around for almost a year, and is comparable in scope to the 1987 Harmonic Convergence theory. Googling "Fire the Grid" comes up with about 2,960,000 results (granted, many of those involve fire and grid but not fire the grid). A Wikipedia article about something which is significant, widely-known, and easily verified and sourced, was 'speedily deleted.' Jovriel 03:21, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
