Talk:Arctic
From RationalWiki
Well, I don't think this really should be here. It's off-mission, and a strange blend of funny and dry sections in a chunky mix which leads it to not fit well in either main- or funspace. Needs drastic rewrite and/or splitting into two articles (main and fun) or deletion. I say deletion. The consensus on January 21, 2012 10:30 AM EST will be what we go with, and we will then take action ASAP. The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 15:34, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- Nope. The consensus we come to whenever the fuck we feel like we have one is what we're going with, and we'll take action on our own time table. Why? 'Cuz I said so! The Spikey Punk I'm punking my punk! 15:38, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

- Since they let kids from cities in Germany onto the Wiki, apparently. The Spikey Punk I'm punking my punk! 15:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

- I'm not really from Heidelberg. I'm named after the Heidelberg Man, that is, the hominid fossil found near Heidelberg. I'd expect here to get it. The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 00:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

- We have a whole series of these: states, countries, etc., that are poorly written blends of humor and seriousness. But they are very much part of who / what we as a site are/were/and will be. I'd hate to see any of these go, but the jokes could be looked over and improved if anyone has a good sense of humor.

- Useful as part of the climate debate, has the usual RW hey-that-was-almost-funny jokes... Could be better written but so could most of RW, and indeed WP. I don't see what the big problem is with this. Rennie McGreet (talk) 21:25, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- Aww, c'mon. Keep, and keep the jokes too. Secret Squirrel (talk) 23:30, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
