not see how that is not conducive to resolving the dispute? Moreover, there's another issue here that I've hesitated to bring up, but this has dragged on long enough that I feel I must broach it: I don't think there's any reasonable chance that uninvolved editors are going to support your version. The wording is just so unusual, and the presence of the sound file so unhelpful, that anybody you do manage to bring in to this is going to take one look at the dispute and opt for the status quo. If you want to change the template, I think that this way is the worst way you could go about it. Bring other users here via an RFC, ask them what they think, and if they disagree try to persuade them to your way of thinking through discussion.

arguments? I've already explained that I've followed several paths towards getting more input here, and those explain my insistence on tersening the ballot with haste. Since I've cancelled my RFCs, I don't feel that frustration, anymore. If YOU feel that this talk page is ready as a ballot, then go ahead and file your premature RFC. The question really hinges on whether you think the guidelines should be written to incorporate what is typical in an election, and that is very terse ballots. As it stands now, the guidelines concerning voting don't hav approval. As it stands now, the guidelines concerning talk pages do not incorporate voting procedures, except for "Irrelevant discussions are subject to removal."

various sizes. I estimate that I could put the main ingredients of this dispute into the eyes of about five thousand people, and if I were lucky, fifty would vote. The problem, dear prophet, is that at this point, I would be forced to receive those votes myself, because I don't hav permission to publish any one else's e-mail address on USENET. Offering to let me publish yours and count the results would've been helpful. So would arguing with the points I make below.

2939: 1890:. I don't think the comparison is a good one, for a few reasons: first, your position in this is not best likened to that of a judge, but to that of a lawyer for one of the sides, and such a person obviously doesn't have the authority to eliminate evidence because they consider it irrelevant. Second, your removal of the discussion - as both Newbyguesses and I have advised you - violated 2511: 1722:, which starts with direct discussion, then, if that fails, try to get a third opinion or some informal mediation, and then there are steps beyond that (formal mediation, RfC, and arbitration). But most disputes can be resolved if the parties are at all reasonable or responsive to the community, before the more involved steps. Given the lack of 2801: 2742: 114: 1341:
Significance must be one (applicability to anything real is incidental). In applied mathematics, it's arbitrary.

So someone slaps a "weasel" on an article. Which words/phrase? Where in the article? Based on what geographical lexicon/idiom? If someone thinks that an article has a weasel word/phrase they need to actually identify which word/phrase and where. Also, something that is clear and readily understood in

Yes. Whenever a sentence isn't understood, it becomes less significant. Metaphors for facts, like "words that suck the life out of words around them, leaving an empty shell", however, mean more. People remember them because they stuck in their brains as inexact sense, and what those metaphors mean in

Yes. "Foggy" can also be called a sensory term. It is used very frequently for things that people don't understand.

The weasel image was re-added a while ago; I'd really prefer this template to be as small and non-intrusive as possible (I'd vote for L1AM's suggestion, below).

Voting and argumentation are different things. It is good to ignore one while you are doing the other. You'll notice that I've summarized two positions that made it necessary to protect the page. Maybe even that, nor my position as ballot-maker, should be in the ballot as posed. It's gleanable from

On another topic, I don't understand why you are putting bias into this template. It's relevant, and I don't see any way to be sure that weasel words are bias. They indicate that the information might be fabricated or original research, but those don't make it false. Since you can't clearly detect
962:
Weasel words weaken the meaning of a sentence, making what might otherwise be a notable fact into something that looks like fiction. That interferes with notability. Perhaps it tends to be the product of bias, and I think it's more important to attend to results, which are weakened facts; weakened

That wasn't my choice, nor did I hav any details about browser distinctions. In I.E., at 800by600, all it did was make the play button take up two thirds of the width. The easy choice to make was to use features in the ambox template, rather than setting width:10% and height:10%, like I would if I

So if I'm understanding this correctly, you requested input on this question from a newsgroup having nothing to do with Knowledge (XXG)? That really isn't how this works. Regardless, you say that you knew nothing about the concept of an RFC before; now that you do, will you consider filing one?

Why is it so hard to explain that truth is in jokes? The funny part is in our understanding of them. Typically, a comedian will feign total ignorance of something to show you an angle on truth that's hard to see. For example I know this comedian who tried to tell David Suzuki that Whales we saved

Well, I think you will concur that non-specific language doesn't inherently reflect "bad writing". It can also reflect consensus chosen language where textual attribution would add nothing to enhance the reader understanding that citation alone can provide...and in a less cumbersome

Draw. I am able to change one word in the audio to "draw", and I think the beat of my tune will become clear (improve) if I do. I don't feel a lot of motivation to do this, because the best I can do is recruit a soprano to do the other part, and that seems challenjing at the moment.

I've also decided that archiving talk pages isn't worth the trouble. It's all there automatically archived in the history, so I see a lot of unnecessary trouble in manually creating archive pages and trying to use them. If someone wants to resurrect a thread, then it's all there.

Useless to me. The next time anything like this comes up or I see a page that takes more than eight seconds to load, I'll copy the link to that particular entry in history, post that link as an archive, and delete any conversation that seems to be either very old or resolved.
1360:
It is not safe to assume bias within an estimated or approximate fact. I can be definite with the way I want to word this template. It is not appropriate for this template to analyze tendencies or equivocate. Either too many statements in the document are foggy, or not.
2648:
No. Taking weasel words out of a statement makes it stronger, so it is not a neutrality issue unless it becomes a series of contrasting facts that different writers offer and try to buttress with guesses about levels of support. Weasel words are not an issue of bias.
665:
Barbaric it might be, and if you call it nonsense, then I'm raising the production value with my synth and adding a beat to put less emphasis on "suck". Nothing was wrong with the template; If the icon for audio is too big, then make it smaller for an ambox, please.
438:
I think that would be ill-advised, as the implementation of the template often comes up in disputes. Consider the neutrality dispute template. The purpose of the templates is to alert readers and editors to potential problems that need fixing, not to label articles.
2702:
Terse. If the template is verbose, then too many people will think that they know how to handle weasel words, when someone who actually read the guideline didn't. Resorting to invoking the template is a either a last resort or insistent training of a newbie editor.
2657:
No. If you can avoid this problem that involves breaking your own rules, then you should. Equivocation, a synonym for weasel words, should be written out of this template. How to remove words that make writing foggy are a tough set of rules to understand, and

The template says "This article". I don't know if there is a way to modify what that says (I looked at the source, said 1|article... does 2 mean section?), but can we change it to "Article or Section"? It's used on sections as well as articles.

So, do statements become more important if they become definite? The Earth very probably revolves around The Sun, or it does. (Both statements are not quite right). You must see that having a definite answer is more valuable.

My objection is that you're using vague wording (in a template designed to discourage the use of vague wording, no less). As noted above, the added link isn't helpful (because the page lacks relevance to this tag).
