Talk:Forest (disambiguation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please list your justifications for your changes here, User:Pigsonthewing. I have justified my changes in the edit summaries, which can be seen at . -- Timwi 16:34, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- No, you have not. You've stated a belief, then made an unsupported assertion. Furthermore, your idea of "preventing [a] revert war" appears to be to make an unwarranted reversion. Andy Mabbett 16:40, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I understand that the statement "This belongs in the article about him" can be seen as a "belief". However, it is also an argument which you have not refuted. In fact, you have not actually mentioned anything constructive in your edit summaries. Please tell me why you think that DeForest Kelley's role in Star Trek should be mentioned on this page which is not about him. Also tell me why you think the link to rain forest should be on the other side of the page as the link to tree (graph theory). Thank you. -- Timwi 16:43, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Try again. Andy Mabbett 16:47, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Pardon? Try what again? You have still not supplied any argumentation. -- Timwi 16:49, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- And neither have you. You've stated a belief, then made an unsupported assertion, then pointed out that something similar to the latter is not an exmaple of the former. Oh, and kindly restore my changes before you protect the page. Thank you.Andy Mabbett 16:51, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I am unsure why you are being this hostile against me. I have supplied the following arguments: (1) The fact that DeForest Kelley played in Star Trek is mentioned on his own article, and would thus be redundant here; (2) a "rain forest" is a special kind of forest and should therefore be mentioned and linked to in the forest article, not here; and (3) the two links rain forest (if you must have it) and tree (graph theory) are both a kind of "this is an example of something called a forest" and should therefore be together. -- You have refuted none of these three arguments; instead, you go on about vague accusations using ambiguous words like "belief" and "assertion", and you are being pretty rude to me both by copying the edit summary in which I kindly ask you to justify your changes, and by dismissing my good-faith argumentation with the words "Try again". -- Timwi 16:58, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I cannot explain your false perception of hostility; I cannot understand why you wrongly imagine that you have raised these arguemnts previously; I cannot see why you claim that my very specific statements were "vague accusations"; nor can I find any basis for your falacious accusations of rudeness and plagiarism. Andy Mabbett 17:09, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Discussion with you is obviously futile. I will attempt to stay away from you in future. -- Timwi 17:14, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Hi. I've decided to intervene/mediate. I don't want to have to protect the page so I'm sure this is sortable. Secretlondon 16:54, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)
- Please. Feel free. What would you like to intervene with? :-) -- Timwi 16:58, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I think everyone should remember that this is a disambiguation page- ie ideally it should be an orphan. If all the links to this page are sorted (which I presume one of you will do ;) then no-one will see this anyway. Secretlondon 17:10, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)
- Rather, there are no links to it, except for Forest. Everyone seeing this page who didn't come here through some meta way like recent changes or whatever, must have seen Forest first. Morwen 17:26, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)
Why is the mention of DeForrest Kelley's role in Star Trek important? Secretlondon 17:24, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)
- I don't think it is. -- Timwi 17:25, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I'm not sure we need to have DeForest Kelley here at all. Presumably he/she is never actually known as "Forest" and someone searching for them would not search for Forest. Nottingham Forest FC is known informally as "Forest" however. Secretlondon 17:28, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)
- And when someone searches, mistakenly, for "forest kelley"..? Andy Mabbett 17:29, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- For those people, you can create a redirect from Forest Kelley to DeForest Kelley. Actually, I'll do that now. -- Timwi 17:31, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
