[edit] Aerican Empire

Note: I saw how you said you agreed with kitka on this AfD page. Be aware that my username is Kitia, with an I. That's all. Kitia 15:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. I'm not a great typist -- I always go through what i write for errors but because it was a proper noun I missed it. Won't happen again! Timcrow
  • That's okay. I've done it too. Also, if you wan't an answer usually, I advise you to write to me on my talk page. Thanks. Kitia 20:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Hi, Sorry about before, i shouldve talked about it on the talk page before putting the tag. Sure, it would be my pleasure to help out with the prose; i remember trying to edit it before, but someone reverted them. I didnt check to see who it was, so it kinda fueled my fustration before. But now that i see that the page isnt a hoax of some sort, it would be my pleasure to help. It has the makings of a very good article, and has a very interesting topic; just the prose threw me off, thats all. Xlegiofalco 05:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Sir, I have noticed you undid some of my edits on the Aerican Empire page. I have left some of your changes, but redid some. I am the elected King of the Aerican Empire, and most of these edits you claimed were unverified can be verified on the Aerican website. Those that are not verifiable, I have left removed, simply because I cannot prove these things are true, even though they are. I do hope you will keep in touch regarding changes. I am not logged in now, but I am User:General Mazur. Please post on the discussion page to continue this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.216.121.250 (talk) 18:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Virtual

Everything you posted... points to the fact that this group has never done anything off the Internet. There's never been an actual physical territory claimed, no coins minted, no passports issued, etc. That makes them unlike Sealand, Hutt River Principality, etc. Has there ever been a real-world meeting of citizens? An actual "Supreme Court" session not conducted on the Internet? A physical building barricaded from the world and claimed as sovereign? Look, it's all in good fun, but this is a serious encyclopedia, and we can't be misleading our readers into thinking this group is actually some sort of nation. FCYTravis 06:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

We just had a convention in montreal where people from multiple countries gathered. Land has been legally purchased in Montreal, though of course Canada has refused to recognise claims of independence. Supreme court sessions have been conducted in person as recently as this month. We don't issue passports or coins because they cost too much, and there's no point in having them if they would be ignored. You're making the error of assuming that every nation *wants* to be like Sealand. I think we can compromise on what the best way to wriote things is; many of your changes are good and I don't object to you adding phrases like "tongue in cheek" but "fictional" simply isn't an accurate descriptor.Timcrow 12:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I'm prepared to accept that "imaginative" is a fair word. Thank for you meeting me halfway. Timcrow 15:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade - trust me, I think if this was real I'd move there in a second ;) I just want to make sure we're fair to our readers. FCYTravis 15:24, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aerican empire listing in List of micronations

We try to keep the list entries serious and factual, in general. The particular change made had a factual basis, but seemed just to be silly.

Yes, I know the Aerican Empire is sort of silly by definition. But we have to write about it in a factual and serious manner, not jokingly. We are an encyclopedia, not part of their joke...

If you want to go to the Talk:List of micronations page and propose a new expansion entry for the Aerican Empire I have no objection. I just don't want the tone of the list to degrade; that is the first entry in a long list. If you can keep in mind that we want to keep the discussion and notes serious, that should be fine.

We have a policy ( WP:OWN ) which makes it clear that nobody "owns" an article, so I definitely don't want to come across as trying to dictate how it comes out. I think that putting proposed changes up on the talk page and letting the other editors who follow the page comment would help.

Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert 19:52, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
