Talk:Daylight savings time overlap

Summer, I'm not trying to fight with you. After all, Summer Time is your topic. :-) --Uncle Ed (talk) 02:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm. At 01:44, 26 February 2012‎ you created this "article". Then, at 02:16, 26 February 2012‎ -- all of 32 minutes later -- you intended to merge it. WTF? Oh, and you were O.K. with someone going ahead and merging it. Then, at 02:25, 26 February 2012‎ -- another 9 minutes have elapsed -- I redirect it (nothing sourced, so nothing to "merge"). Oh, no, that will never do. So, at  02:53, 26 February 2012‎ you undo the redirect, with the merge tag you added.
 * So, we have four sentences (up from three) and zero sources. You wanted it merged. Now you... what? want people to !vote on whether or not to merge your four sentences of WP:OR that you want merged or keep it? Seriously, what is there to "merge" here: the idea you came up with that this is an "overlap"? - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 03:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * It took me a while to understand your key objection. You actually think that this is my own idea, like Einstein proposing the theory of relativity? And here I thought it was common knowledge and just needed a bit of writing up, and (if needed) a ref or two. I didn't realize that you are WP:CHALLENGEing the validity of the concept.


 * Okay, maybe you're not a computer programmer and thus have not considered how to represent time during the (non-existent?) gap between 2:00 A.M. and 3:00 A.M. or the "overlap" where the minutes 1:00 to 1:59 are used twice (once in daylight saving time and once in standard time. You think this is my own (brilliant? wacky?) idea, and that there could not possibly be any sources so why bother looking. Just scold, rinse, and repeat. --Uncle Ed (talk) 12:56, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You created a crap article which you then, 30-some minutes later, said you intended to "merge". You then specifically said to go ahead and merge it. Then bitched when it was done. Boo hoo. Poor you.
 * Wow. You came up with some cockeyed notion that we need an article to discuss that, golly, when you set a clock back an hour, the numbers repeat. Genius, Einstein-level GENIUS I SAY!!! Now you need to create an article discussing how 1:00 AM looks the same as 1:00 PM on an analog clock. It "overlaps". - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 01:55, 27 February 2012 (UTC)


 * LOL, I get the point. WP needs another article like this, like a fish needs a bicycle, eh? --Uncle Ed (talk) 01:57, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Merge?

 * Do not merge - There is no sourced information here, just Ed Poor's idea that this is an "overlap" somehow. Redirect this and move on. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 03:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
