Talk:Aveloc R&D
I was specifically asked to present Aveloc's side of it and gave a factual account in the original article.
Don't ask for my help and then change it. Aveloc signed off on my version, use it or delete the article.

- Unfortunately, that's not how Wikis work. This isn't "Aveloc's stance on the R&D". This is "the Aveloc R&D". --Krenn 20:20, 22 Jan 2007 (PST)
- EB specifically asked me to write up a bit about his story from his point of view that was fact based and put it here. I did that.
- Once again, YOU all came to ME. Not the other way around...

- Please follow wiki edit conventions - reply after, not before. I believe EB asked you to provide a starting point, not an article that would be treated as a permanent, indelibly graven image, because that is not how Wikis work. They are collaborative documents, where everyone can edit - editors such as myself and EB act to remove biased or non-NPOV (neutral point of view) text. Please do not edit out other people's edits, as that will be construed as wiki vandalism. --Krenn 18:45, 23 Jan 2007 (PST)
- Greetings Dan and Krenn. Dan, thank-you for providing the additional information for this page back in July. I think the issue under discussion now is the result of a misunderstanding. I couldn't find my e-mail to you, requesting Aveloc's point of view, so I quote my mail sent to Groa from Aug 2005: "We will likely be contacting someone who holds opposing views to your own and include their article along with yours. Frankly, if possible, we'd like to rework both articles into one so that it provides both views of the man, the events and the issue in a neutral voice. (Although if that turns out not to be possible, I suppose we'll just leave both articles intact and present them side-by-side.)"
- Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that your additions to this page will not be changed. This is the nature of a wiki -- any page can be edited by anyone with an account. We do our best to monitor changes and maintain reasonable content. The information you provided is valuable, but contained aspects with significant bias toward Aveloc's point of view. Those aspects were adjusted or edited to bring the bias back to neutral while still including the information you added. Likewise we have also removed or adjusted comments that were strongly anti-Aveloc. (See the "article" tab > "history" tab to review additions and edits by user "Beweave".) You are welcome to add a link to an unchangeable website that states Aveloc's point of view. However we will also support the addition of a similar link to an anti-Aveloc website.
- Best, E.B. Elizabeth Braidwood 14:21, 24 Jan 2007 (PST)
Only the events and issues surrounding Aveloc's R&D should be described on the accompanying 'article' page. Other information about Aveloc should be added to the Aveloc the Younger page.
This was and continues to be a hot issue. Please observe the following guidelines when adding content to or editing this article:
- Keep it positive. Keep personal bias out of articles you write or edit. If you're writing or editing an article on a controversial subject, include opinions from all sides of the debate. If you don't feel capable of writing from the opposing view, include an invitation for someone else to contribution that part.
- Keep it positive. Apart from Event Memories, pages should be written neutrally and without personality.
- Keep it positive. Don't get bent out of shape if someone edits "your" page. It's not your page. With a few very minor exceptions, all pages belong to all An Tirians.
- Keep it positive. If an issue hasn't been dealt with fully in your opinion, don't assume your needs are being ignored. Assume instead that we've been waiting for your input.
I added the line about King Thorin affirming his awards. I'm not sure if it belongs in this article or in Aveloc's personal page, but since an R&D often is followed by the removal of awards and the possibility of the removal of his awards is directly related to the R&D, I listed it here. My source for this is e-mail that I sent during my term as Dexter Gauntlet to King Thorin and the orders he sent to me. --Quentin 16:32, 23 Jan 2007 (PST)
