I'm a lean mean.... editing machine ? =) --Linden 11:32, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

Please refrain from adding temporary titles to a players name on their AmtWiki, only awarded Noble Titles should be going there. This helps to keep things as consistent as possible and prevents any confusion if a temporary title is not removed. --Bowen 14:02, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

Tenebrous,

Let me start by saying that your attitude is uncalled for and incredibly unappreciated.

That said, I will move on to the two issues at hand. You have reverted my edits removing temporary titles from your Centerpoint Player Pages; citing "and not even Linden has cared.". I would like to direct you to Linden's most recent edit on the page of player Bino, you will see here clearly that Linden does not feel that temporary titles are appropriate for inclusion upon a nameline, illustrated by her comment "Please do not list transitive titles, on people's name lines, they are subject to change so often that they will inevitably become inaccurate.". In the time I have had the pleasure of working with Linden, she has never struck me as a woman satisfied with a lack of consistency; however that is for her to chime in about. As a fellow Administrator, whom I look up to, I do not think it is responsible for me to not make changes in tandem with her reasonable wishes.

The second issue at hand arises from your comment: "Do me a favor and keep your paws of any pages relating to Centerpoint in the future". As an Administrator of the AmtWiki, my job here is to further the project. Your colorful "suggestion" is not going to change that. I do not edit articles unnecessarily or arbitrarily, I do so with a set purpose, which is to see the project furthered. Should a Centerpoint Page require a change to come into consistency with the rest of the Wiki, I intend to change it.

I believe it to be in the best interest of the AmtWiki to remove the Transitive/Temporary titles from those pages. Linden's past edits indicate that she feels that it should be done, and my edits today are congruent with that idea. I have not reverted the pages to my changes as of yet, as I wanted to give you the chance to do it.

Finally, I understand that you check these pages often. Please keep in mind that your activity on the AmtWiki, while greatly appreciated, does not mitigate our work to keep Player Entries as consistent as possible. --Bowen 17:45, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
