Serafin

I appreciate your efforts. Please don't let the article Bureaucracy down now and change the current state as you see fit, regardless of Serafin. Sockpuppets of him can also be reported at User:Luna Santin/Sockwatch/Serafin. Sciurinæ 20:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unique

First of all, thank you for logging in. You have done not only me, but also the Wikipedia community - and yourself, you'll see! - a big favor. Please make sure you stay logged in every time you edit! Thanks!

Perhaps it boils down to the definition of "unique". I am not a native English speaker, but my perception of the meaning of this word as "exceptional" rather than "the only one" when used like that. I don't think the word implies there is nothing like that, but perhaps you can find a better word.

Oh, I re-wrote the article some two years ago, and at that time I didn't put a reference by that sentence, and I also believe the press release in question asserts the car has a transverse-mounted straight six, I would not use it as a reference to its "uniqueness". As a matter of fact, I was thinking of another of the sources as a reference for that (I didn't go inline back then). Anyhoo, in a very OR style, I just put down what I knew, as my understanding is that an article on a car model in Wikipedia is not a specs sheet (there are better sources for those) but rather an explanation why this or another model is notable among others (assuming all car models are notable enough to have their entries, which is an implicit assumption widely accepted @ Wikipedia).

Anyhoo - can you suggest a better wording for that? PrinceGloria (talk) 23:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying and for the absolutely undeserved complement (I actual wish I was as nice as other Wikipedians). I will not defend unique to death, though unusual or notable do not seem "strong enough" for me. Feel free to reword as you please, yet I would appreciate it if you could think of another word closer in its meaning to what I meant with unique. Kind regards, PrinceGloria (talk) 20:13, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, uncommon is as insipid as it gets to me... I used "unique" to emphasize the car is remarkable for that, this is why a reader should know about it. On realizing that, I though remarkable might have been the word I was looking for in the first place. How do you feel about it? PrinceGloria (talk) 09:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see "remarkable" as non-NPOV here, but do change to whatever suits you - in case it won't suit me, we shall continue with this discussion on matters of utmost importance ;) PrinceGloria (talk) 11:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment on my talk page

Your comment on my talk page is misdirected. I said nothing about your English. Reread that exchange, and you'll see another user said something about "grasp of the english language", not me. Please read more carefully in the future. okedem (talk) 15:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
