Photon belt
I undid your revisions on this article. As far fetched as this claim is, it's still the claim that is proclaimed by some of the proponents of the photon belt belief. Taemyr 20:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

He seems to be trying to follow the Please be a giant dick, so we can ban you non-policy. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 12:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah. He started off on Wikipedia with persistent copyright violations, moved on to incivility, then engaged in a bit of revert warring and templating the regulars. Now he's moved on to further edit warring and unleashed a few personal attacks. But I'm a nice guy. :) -- RG2 16:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Post-WWII Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe
It's enough to protect the page from moves, I agree. And honestly I don't think we even need a move protection; it is evident the only disputed move is the one done by Ghirlandajo - all others were a response to his controversial and undiscussed action (WP:POINT, anyone?).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Should we leave some message for him about this not being the most constructive editing action?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Conn's
While I do not see Conns as a large retailer, and I believe that to be just your opinion (its no walmart, sears, etc.) And is only located in 2 states in the whole country - I originally removed it because of Wiki's rules regarding links to normally avoid. - and the link to the site was nothing but an advertisement. ''
 * Links mainly intended to promote a website.


 * Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services. For example, instead of linking to a commercial bookstore site, use the "ISBN" linking format, giving readers an opportunity to search a wide variety of free and non-free book sources.


 * Links to sites with objectionable amounts of advertising.''

Conn's Link to the web site clearly goes against 3 of the rules- and additionally has rich media content which is normally to be avoided.

Please explain why you feel Conn's is an exception to these rules and a link should be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.63.105.152 (talk) 23:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * In 2006, Conn's was the eighth-largest appliance retailer in the US and growing, even with its currently limited region. The rest of your comment is a complete misunderstanding of the guidelines.
 * Links mainly intended to promote a website.
 * The link is intended to point readers at a major business based in the city. I couldn't care less about promoting Conn's.
 * Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services
 * Amazon.com exists primarily to sell products or services. This guideline says that it is inappropriate to link to Amazon in an article about a book. Removing Amazon's link from Amazon's article would be beyond misguided. Conn's does not currently have an article, and the other businesses listed have links.
 * Links to sites with objectionable amounts of advertising.
 * This refers to sites covered with banner ads and popups. A retailer's site will necessarily products sold on that site.


 * Conn's is a, dare I say it, notable retail business. A link to it is as appropriate as to any of the other businesses in the section. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 06:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

The only notable thing I see regarding Conn's is economics. However I do not see where you are getting your information from. I couldn't find Conn's listed for the top 100 retailers of 2006 - Could you please include links to sources. If economic growth is all that is needed for listing under Famous Businesses- then there are tons of business that should be listed here. They are also not listed under the top 100 fastest growing companies of 2006. http://www.stores.org/pdf/07TOP100Chart.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.19.14.36 (talk) 14:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Just a note here (so that Cyrius doesn't have to repeat the same thing); I've already been through this explanation on my talk page. Scott.wheeler 22:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
