`  == Ahmad Shah Massoud‎  ==  Where is the edit war? Plus discussion is ongoing on the talk page.     :Your reversion marks an edit war. It doesn't have to be three. So let's just stop it right there. The page is contentious and continued reverting is going to get everyone more annoyed.   ·   :: Well, now that you've protected it (on the WRONG version!!!!!*%$!1! dammit! ), how do you propose we proceed?    ::: Each segment is discussed separately as before and weighed up on its own merits or otherwise.   ·    ::: PS: The page is frozen to stop the edit warring - that is all. It is no indication on the relative merits of the version the page is on. That is to be decided.   ·    :::: So, do you plan to continue playing the content arbitrator? It's a rather uncommon interpretation of the admin role, and some might argue it's actually against admin policy, but I'd be willing to submit to it, as the lesser evil – it's better than the alternative of having to pretend a discussion with DS+J with the purpose of persuading them could be a rational enterprise. Only please deliver your judgments quickly, because otherwise the whole setup is simply a license for more stonewalling, and will be slowing down the necessary cleanup immensely.    ::::: By the way, you should know me well enough to know that I know how protection works. ;-) –    :::::: I can't see how an admin can supervise these areas without at least some attempt to look at how editors are using sourcing. This isn't some MMORPG but an encyclopedia. I will be looking soon. My free time is patchy however. I will ask for assistance at WP:AN/I too.   ·    == RFC draft ArbCom feedback ==  Hey, Casliber.  Unless you tell me I shouldn't, in the nearish future I am just gonna take ArbCom's silence on the question of the binding thing as a ``no``, remove mention of it from , and probably soon thereafter make it a live RFC.  Just FYI.     :The committee tries to get the community to be as autonomous as possible (we ain't gov-com) so by all means take it live as the next step in this debate and notify widely. Cheers,   ·    == Rigel ==  Do we really need a citation for the colour?  The colour index itself is a matter of record, shown in Simbad for example.  The exact name we apply to that colour in the case of a star is an issue far beyond the scope of this article, and to a great extent is subjective, but white/blue-white is hardly controversial.  The article on colour index should probably address the issue.     :Possibly - I stuck it more of a placeholder after adding the line myself. Not controversial though I could see some argument about ``white`` vs ``blue-white``. That debate has been held several times at Canopus (``white`` vs ``yellow-white``. Also, was contemplating on polishing it up for GA/FA, where everything needs a ref.....  ·    ::There are a variety of possible references, not all consistent.  Here are a few: * The dynamic range of visual imagery in space (doi 10.1117/12.817184) * Sky Catalogue 2000.0 * The colors of the stars (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.203.3733&rep;=rep1&type;=pdf)    :::I saw some astronomy content and had to butt in... *grin* Burnham's Celestial Handbook is pretty good with colors. One solution that I've adopted in the constellation articles is saying something along the lines of ``The color is variously described as blah, blah, and blah``. That seems like a pretty good fix for Rigel; I don't think there's always an accurate way to describe color because each individual observer sees things differently. So you could say ``Rigel has a spectral class of whatever, and its color is variously described as...`` and still maintain accuracy. Just my musings. ) |  ::::Yeah, I will take a look at the above sources. Feel free to chip in folks. I was thinking about buffing either Arcturus or Canopus...but when I started reading about Arcturus I just couldn't get enthused at all....the stuff about astroseismology and where Rigel is at developmentally is fascinating, so just meandering a bit currently.   ·    ==DYK for EK Trianguli Australis==       ==Sydney edit-a-thon invitation==   Hi there!  You are cordially invited to a disability edit-a-thon Saturday week (10 November) in Sydney.  If you are unable to attend in person, we will also be collaborating online before, during and after the meetup.  Details an attendee list are at Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/November 2012.  Hope you can make it!

I just got swamped with other work...my bad. / |  :No worries - looks all ok now )   ·    == Core contest ==  Hi Cas, I don't really know how to say this, so will just spit it out. If the delay in sending out the prizes for the Core contest is at all because of anything I might have said or done (which is what I suspect), I'm willing to have my entry disqualified so that the prizes can be sent to the other contestants. Thanks,     :Wow! I'm not Casliber but you have received nothing but very high respect from the Core Contest judges. Your entry remains fully qualified.    ::There is abs
