are no in conflict by holding administrative or bureaucrat bits, and editor of the newsletter isn't that important. The only issue I see that can cause conflict is if we writers for the
Signpost started to throw our weight behind him constantly, he'd get the accusations of cabalship. The issue should be negligible; the positions really are not in conflict, if things are clarified as they would be in a professional environment. If either was a position of advocacy, it might be more of a problem, but both the editor and bureaucrat positions are defined by neutrality guidelines. --

change 6 days ago and you're the only person to even notice it. The history of the pages is going to indicate to a lot of people (as it did in casual IRC talk) that its not really notable, and there's a good chance people will say the expanded desc of the third book will be deleted and it will all be merged into Carrie Vaughn. I was intending to work on filling out the first two books this weekend, but I was at a convention called
Readercon in Burlington, MA, and the internet access in the hotel was down all weekend. --Thespian 09:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

that's sort of my point. Ral is, and I can't emphasize this enough, a really, really great wikipedian. An incredible asset to the project. Were he not also
Signpost editor I would have supported him for bureaucrat even faster than I supported Deskana. If his RfB failed, but he resigned from the Signpost and ran again, I would support him in that situation as well. My concern is that Ral is putting himself and the community in an impossible position, not that he is a bad user, but that

you could get by searching Google *without* actually following the links. There's been a pogrom on genre (both SF and romance) books of late, resulting in authors who have 30 books and several awards being deleted for being 'non-notable', and I wanted to avoid that for these interesting, quirky books, which I think are the freshest books in the 'reimagining the werewolves/vampires are here amongst us' urban fantasies in a long time.

some group. The Studio seems notable, maybe even directly relevant; is it the same company related to the original improv? That might support an article.

Thespian, I read your review of Keen's book. Just wondering if he says anything about the issue of the ephemeralness of information on Web 2.0. By that I mean Web 2.0 makes it easy to post content, but also makes it just as easy to delete content (or not even save it in the first place, like most

Hadn't noticed the double-edit; my bad. (Great minds think alike?) The reason to stick them in the lead was specifically because the article has had "notability" problems in the past, and inserting a clear indication of his impact seemed prudent. I can see them being more useful in the body, though,

Thank you for your thoughtful response. It was only after a fair amount of thought that I opposed, and I did so with a heavy heart. I don't think the issue is black and white, it's just that, after careful reflection, I see a shade too much gray. Like a judge and a journalist, I see two types of

I feel uncomfortable with the amount of bytes I've added to Ral's RfB already, so I wanted to address this at your user talk. First, I really admire your decision to remain neutral, and really wish the other signpost reporters had done the same. Second, you're right that it's not Ral's fault, and

I do not understand the rational behind this decision - not only does the given rational of 'protecting them from non-notability deletion until content can be put in' makes no sense, merging them into one page makes for an ungainly and lopsided page, with very little content in the center, and the

Maybe we could work together on the story. I agree this is a big issue; in fact I had planned to write the story before you put it on the tip line. You seem to have sources for the story, but there may be a COI issue, which I can help you with (as well with writing the article itself). What do you

You said, "Unless you improve the article do not remove the PROD," but really, anyone is allowed to remove the PROD, at any point, for any reason. I bring this up not because you're in the wrong here (you're completely not), but because there are some rules lawyers out there will come down on you

It was, yes, informal between editors, and you can feel free to ask for an RfC on it if you think I acted incorrectly. The issue you're going to bring up at that point is that almost no one has ever worked on these articles, they were created and then just sat there for ages; indeed; I did this

Oh, I fully understand your reasoning. It's just, no mention beyond 'saving' them was mentioned, and I couldn't find anything on any talk pages about it. No need for an RfC - what is done on
