Line 22: ::::::::I've seen that same xcvd cartoon before, and though not in-line with the point of the associated ED article, truly believe it hits the nail right on the head (i.e., for political speeches).

Thanks for starting my morning off with a chuckle. ::::::::There has been a drive (maybe since your wikibreak), to make the site as factual as possible (or more appropriately, improve the site's reputation for accuracy), with policies (most notably [[Policy:Verifiability]], which I started yesterday) and procedures that lead to an academic perspective when it comes to article writing (see [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Brotherhood of Randis]] as two good examples). My background leads me to support this move, but the side benefit should be a culture where articles become better standardized. I suspect you don't disagree with this concept, however are concerned that every other sentence will have {{tl|cn}} added onto it, thereby actually detracting from the material that is posted (and should be assumed to be factual, unless cited otherwise). That would in turn run counter to our efforts to improve the site's reputation. Have I've stated your position correctly? I definitely see that as a valid concern. As such, I'll address that in the Verifiability policy, with the point that overuse of the templates is something that we seek to avoid (maybe even referencing the very same link you provided). --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 11:35, 20 July 2009 (UTC) ::::::::There has been a drive (maybe since your wikibreak), to make the site as factual as possible (or more appropriately, improve the site's reputation for accuracy), with policies (most notably [[Policy:Verifiability]], which I started yesterday) and procedures that lead to an academic perspective when it comes to article writing (see [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Brotherhood of Randis]] as two good examples).

Sorry for the absence BTW (probably thought I disappeared again, amirite?); I got caught up at home. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 03:25, 25 July 2009 (UTC) − ::::::::::While your presence will be missed, I don't expect people to stay when its no longer fun to be here. But, yeah: glad to have you around. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 14:25, 25 July 2009 (UTC) − :::::::::P.P.S. Might be an idea to remove the link to ED on the actual policy. The last time I was there sans-adblockers the advertisements were rather "racy" if you catch my drift. Linking to it on actual policy pages doesn't seem conducive to the atmosphere that Sarna is trying to establish. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 05:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC) − ::::::::::Ok, changed it to a more suitable example. I tend to not differentiate between violence and racy; if an individual is into games where violent death is entertaining, then said person probably has a less-than-innocent amount of life experience. I personally feel one is more preferable in my life than the other, but realize I may be in the minority with that. Nonetheless, I agree with your intent. {{Emoticon|:P }}--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 14:25, 25 July 2009 (UTC) − − == Awards == − − Xoid, I took the liberty of installing an awards board on your main page. Please place it where it best fits your design.
