I'm all ears.

RE: Journey (band)
Why is it "unnecessary"? I didn't put it in there for people like you. I put it in there for the 11-year-old boy in the Philippines, who may have heard "Woodstock" before, but didn't know what it was. Not everyone may put Woodstock Music and Art Festival together with the event that is most referred to has just "Woodstock". This is an encyclopedia, here to educate those who may not know.

If you want to list the common vernacular for events like "Woodstock", that's fine but list it on Woodstock's page, not Journey's. That's why hyperlinks exist. Change it back If it's that big a concern for you, but I stand by my opinion.--BrokenStoic 6 July 2005 00:52 (UTC)

Beer Portal Template
Hi. Can we have a talk before you put any more Beer Portal templates onto beer pages? Cheers. SilkTork 19:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Great. Thanks for getting back to me. I started up the Beer Portal a little while back, but then wasn't sure what to do with it. I hoped that people would take it on and do something with it. And I'm glad that you have shown an interest. I'm not sure how other Portals attract interest and attention, but I was wondering if the Beer Portal template might be better placed either on the talk page of articles or in the further information section on each article, rather than up at the top. It might even be that the portal template could be placed in both places. I was thinking of raising the issue on the WikiBeerProject talk page, but thought I'd approach you first. What do you think?

Beer Style Chart
I noticed you put in a chart on the Beer style page. I was wondering if we could chat a bit about it. I think the use of an image in that manner makes it entirely too cubersome to edit, especially for an issue as contengious as beer style can be. I relaize it may be a rough draft but I feel like it might not be the best avenue to pursue. (Full Disclosure-I have been working on the Beer style box, which pretty much covers the same info.)--BrokenStoic 08:07, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree. It was put on the main beer page, and I moved it to the beer style page. I added the comment that it was one particular view out of many, just to tone it down a bit. Then I was going to raise the issue with others - including the guy who placed it on the beer page. I haven't yet got around to the raising the issue part. SilkTork 08:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Beer category decision
A discussion has been opened on changes that have been made to the existing Beer category system. The changes reverse the decision made by the Project in April 2006. The changes were based on agreement by only two people, and by a discussion that took place outside the Beer Project. There may be some merit in the changes, and to prevent future conflict it is important that there is some discussion of the matter. If you're interested, please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beer.
