Prehistoric Hawaii
See Fang's work-in-progress: User:Fang 23/Prehistoric Hawaii Please also take a look at my comment on his talk page here. I have a slight problem with Fang's complete discounting of Hawaiian oral history, considering it is one part of a larger puzzle, with additional pieces provided by archaeology. Could you address my point? It's ok if you disagree with me, I just want another POV. —Viriditas | Talk 10:23, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, please! Awhile back I actually looked into how to do it, but was quickly daunted. Such coding things are really not my forte. If it's not a whole lot of trouble, that would be very much appreciated and I'll owe you one. Thanks and cheers, Arjuna (talk) 10:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- I would be happy to help. For your reference, there is WP:ARCHIVE. I tend to use a combination of the cut-and-paste as well as the move procedure. Cutting and pasting is good for short-term archiving, when you want to archive on a daily basis. The move works when you are ready to move the diffs over. I'll do it now and you can see if you like it or not. Viriditas (talk) 10:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Ocean acidification
Hi Arjuna808. Just to say that I've edited the ocean acidification article a bit since you were there yesterday. I've tried to put the recent Science paper in context by adding more references and discussion. It's not the first paper to have questioned the notion that acidification is bad news for calcifiers, but I'd certainly never made this clear in earlier drafts of the article. Anyway, I'd be very grateful if you could check over what I've done to ensure that it's not just introduced a new bias. Cheers, --Plumbago (talk) 10:58, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
P.S. I removed the portion about the potential artifacts introduced by acid vs. CO2 protocols for simulating acidification. While the Science paper does mention this, it's not a strong point in the paper, so adding it might be confusing (e.g. people might get the idea that all prior work was wrong).

Reexamination of old disputes
Hi Arjuna,
At the suggestion of Viriditas, I've reexamined some old issues that you were involved with and posted my thoughts at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hawaii#Reexamination of old disputes, so any feedback you can provide would be much appreciated. Mahalo! --jonny-mt 15:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Article probation notice
Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, that an article to which you have recently contributed, Talk:Barack ObamaThe Obama Nation, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Talk:Barack Obama/Article probation. Please accept this as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that you have violated the probation terms. Thank you. - Wikidemo (talk) 04:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I am aware of that fact, and am trying to ensure NPOV through judicious edits in the article, as backed up on the talk page. Arjuna (talk) 12:51, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Just wanted to follow up with a quick, friendly reminder to assume good faith on the part of other editors. Comments such as "is that you Mr. Corsi?" could be taken by some as a personal attack, or at least an implied accusation of conflict of interest/bad-faith editing. Thanks, --Clubjuggle T/C 18:43, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I don't know why you are writing this message, since whoever made that statement, it wasn't me, and furthermore I have not been engaged in sniping or edit-warring on the article whatsoever. Leave me out of whatever fight might be raging there. Arjuna (talk) 20:21, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Please accept my deepest and sincerest apologies. I missed a signature line within a badly-formatted talk page comment, and thought that a comment that was made by someone else was actually yours. I'll be more than happy to remove the comments above, beginning with my own, at your request, or if so you are welcome to do so yourself. Again, I'm very sorry for the erroneous note. --Clubjuggle T/C 20:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

It's alright, no worries. Your comment above should suffice to clear my name. Arjuna (talk) 03:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Incident
You have been named in an incident report here. Cordially,--Die4Dixie (talk) 04:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I question whether the user name "Die4Dixie" even meets WP:U. The entire account seems to be devoted to POV editing, and that is incompatible with Wikipedia's purpose. Arjuna, I would recommend keeping a healthy distance from this user and making use of the dispute resolution mechanisms. Viriditas (talk) 09:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. Good points. I didn't pick this fight (it seems a pretty clear-cut case of disruptive editing), and am doing my best to avoid problems, but your suggestions are good ones and support is appreciated. Aloha, Arjuna (talk) 09:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- The charge of sock puppetry is an interesting one. You need to assume good faith. Our problem stems from your personal attack, and now the gratuitous mention of sockpuppetry. You must not understand how the article probation works. Viriditas, you counsel is partially sagacious. My name has met muster by community consensus and is in no way a violation. If you would counsel your friend to apologize for his intemperate casting aspersions on my motives, then this part of the discourse can be over, and we can get on with improving the article.Die4Dixie (talk) 10:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- I could ask the same of you -- to assume good faith. My comment was in no way a personal attack, and it is unfortunate that you persist in this unfounded accusation, but I look forward to external scrutiny. I withdrew the sockpuppet question, but you must admit that it had an appearance until you signed it later. Aloha, Arjuna (talk) 10:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you cannot see that attacking or impugning motives or ascribing them in no so veiled ways is not dealing with the argument, but a violation of assume good faith and a personal attack. It's cut and dried. Other editors , who agree with your politics, mildly said something. This article is on probation, you have agreed to the terms. I cannot assume good faith when you talk of motives, nor am I required to. Please consider moderating your position. You will find that I am quite forgiving, and can even agree on issues. Debate is not furthered, nor the aims of the project when discuss motives over edits. Non fiction is a content debate, which is good for the project. Personal attacks are not. from earlier in night was a clear acknowledgment of ownership of that IP. Consider what I've said, read the policy, and see if you can genuinely say that your mention of motive meets the guidelines. Debate onthe Talkpage is not mainspace editing. I'm not editwarring in any way.Nor are you. We have a healthy disagreement about content. Talk of motives hinders that.Die4Dixie (talk) 10:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Look, I know what my meaning was, and it simply wasn't what you think it was. So, yes, I can genuinely say that I have met the guidelines. You are the one ascribing motivations now. I do assume you are a fine person, with whom I happen to disagree, and I look forward to external review of the disagreement. Aloha (look it up, I mean it), Arjuna (talk) 11:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

My name has met muster by community consensus and is in no way a violation.
- That's not true. User:Flyguy649 made a judgment call and closed the October 2007 discussion of your user name on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names as no violation. However, there did not seem to be a consensus on the matter. I'll reply further on User talk:Die4Dixie. Viriditas (talk) 12:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Comment format at Obama incident page
Your comment location was just fine. I just wanted to avoid the free-for-all of the last incident report, where certain editors decided to argue extensively in each other's sections. I expect to be personally attacked by any of several editors for bringing the matter up, want to avoid that. Thanks, Wikidemo (talk) 10:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Followup from 2006
Could you revisit this discussion for a moment? After reviewing the contributions for 64.65.94.202 (talk · contribs), I became concerned with the accuracy and neutrality of the current article. Viriditas (talk) 12:32, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
