Hi. Did you vote for Edash's logo? --Sgeo 10:49, 1 Jan 2005 (PST)

Id've thought that was fairly obvious ;-) Yes, yes I did.

Could I convince you to tone down the "x is fantastic" stuff a bit? Maybe make it sound more like you'd find in an book or encyclopaedia rather than in advertising blurb? Ideally it'd be written with a neutral point of view, although I appreciate it's good to have enthusiasm sometimes. If you want to show how cool someone or something is, it's best to let users come to their own conclusion by looking for themselves at the objects/worlds/whatever linked from that page rather than trying to shove an opinion down their throats. :-) --GreenReaper 17:21, 5 Jan 2005 (PST)

I like shoving things down peoples throats though! ;-) Its just the way I write, I tend to say everything is fantastic. I'll try to tone it down slightly for you :-) #Liam 18:00, 5 Jan 2005 (PST)

Whee, thankies! I just find a long list of cool projects a person has done way more awe-inspiring than "hey, this guy is great" by some random writer. ;-) -- GreenReaper 18:12, 5 Jan 2005 (PST)

Random writer?! I'm shocked at you GR. Shocked. <g> ;-) #Liam 18:15, 5 Jan 2005 (PST)

Well, I know you, but why would anyone else? *g* And articles are really meant to come from nobody in particular, which is why they should probably emphasise no particular opinion. They can of course say that "lots of people think X" if that is true (preferably backed up by a poll or something), or give the opinion of a quoted person (though if there is another opinion, it might be best to get a similar quote from someone who holds it). Consider Rascii - I thought the first version of that article was very personally biased, so I edited it. It still ends up being very positive, but not (I think) in a way that sounds overly personal or patronising. --GreenReaper 18:44, 5 Jan 2005 (PST)
