Intellectual dishonesty of Measure A supporters
[edit]what is your problem with alameda measure a??
[edit]Hey - what is the problem you have with Alameda Measure A? You don't even live in Alameda - you live in Oakland. And you reverted my links to external sites from the Alameda page - those links are fair game.
You shouldn't be authoritative over the Alameda web page - you don't even live here. And your political views are well documents, so you are exercising your own biases by editing the Alameda Measure A wiki. Dave H. 19:57, 14 August 2006

I'll be living in Alameda before the year is over. Your Alameda measure a page isn't an encyclopedia article, it's a campaign flyer, and doesn't belong here. Your edits to the Alameda, California article don't add any substantive content to the article. If you want to write an encyclopedic - descriptive, neutral, and free of personal attacks - article about Measure A, feel free. But the "article" you wrote is no such thing. Argyriou 15:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
So you won't screw with a link on the Alameda page to an encyclopedic article on Measure A? There's no reason there shouldn't be a link from the Alameda entry to a Measure A entry. A link, by definition, isn't substantive. And you still don't live in Alameda. Dave H. 14:33, 15 August 2006
Ooh! Ooh! You'll ask the Wikipedia administrators to take action against me! Oooh! Ooh! You're pretty emotionally wrapped up in something yourself. In the nineteen eighties, it was Dungeons & Dragons, today, it's Wikipedia. How's this page - starting to look more balanced? http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Alameda_Measure_A 15:11, 15 August 2006
Argyriou 22:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Your Alameda Measure A article is a better start than the older Alameda measure a article, beginning with the title. However, it still needs much improvement. An article about Measure A should be an overview of the whole measure, beginning with its enactment, with current controversies at the end of the article. The article should:
* Begin with an introduction which briefly summarizes the law.
* Explains the historical context in which the law was passed.
* Discusses changes made or attempted before the current controversy, if any.
* Discuss the controversy by explaining:
o What's new that makes people want to change Measure A (Alameda Point development)
o Summarizes, fairly, the arguments made on each side of the issue.
Some of those changes can be made by shuffling existing text around, but your descriptions of the advocates for relaxing measure A restrictions is still incredibly unfair and biased, and needs serious re-work. Argyriou 23:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
It's a work in progress. Your description on the City of Alameda entry of Measure A advocates as a "vocal minority" oppposed to any development on alameda point is inaccurate, and incredibly unfair and biased. I touched it up to make it less biased. If you're moving to Alameda by the end of the year, why don't you get smart on Measure A and make some contributions to the page rather than just flagging it continually.
Dave H. 15:51, 15 August 2006
Well, as I say - get smart on Alameda and the history of Measure A and help me balance it out, rather than just harping and over-reacting.

Alameda Measure A
[edit]Argyriou - you slapped my hand for introducing POV to the Alameda Measure A page. I expect you to do the same for Michael Kruegur. I'm toeing the wikipedia line - I expect him to do the same. mowster. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mowster (talk • contribs) 19:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
ARgyriou - Nonsense re: VAndalism. Someone is inserting POV into this article, and they can't even get it displayed correctly. Give your lecture to them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.137.142.153 (talk • contribs) 15:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

re: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Alameda_Measure_A
I'm not going to take lectures from Argyriou about 'vandalising' the Keep Measure A page. I keep removing Benderboy30's additions, because they are opinion, and point-of-view, not fact. As evidenced by his entry on Nov. 2 - "addition of general opposition opinions to measure A"
Aside from that Argyriou has his own bias about the question of Measure A in Alameda (he's against it) - so he is NOT in fair position to act as judge and jury over edits to the page - he should be disabled from making changes to the page, as he is biased on the issue, and repeatedly asserts authority over the page and my attempts to remove point of view.
I've included the offending text below, which, incidentally, was not formatted correctly either.

Will someone please take Argyriou aside for an adult conversation - he does not stop with his game playing. He needs to be barred from any edits on this entry. see below:

Thanks.
However, Argyriou is at it again, removing any kind of balanced information from the page and leaving in only information that supports his position on the issue. He describes these edits as "remove uncited information"
Please have a talk with him.

[edit]A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation.

- I've already rejected mediation. Mediation on an AfD is nonsense, and I won't participate. User:Zoe|(talk) 00:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
