Talk:Arctic

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! 15:38, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * When did 2 days at a time most people are asleep or not home because its the middle of the day become a good time to decide stuff?--il&#39;Dictator Mikal (talk) 15:40, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Since they let kids from cities in Germany onto the Wiki, apparently. 15:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey Kid, have you read RationalWiki:Saloon_bar? 20:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Not only read it, he copy-pasted it. 20:51, 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)

Keep and rewrite, expand, and/or split

 * 1) Of importance to the global warming debate. Change what you don't like, keep what you do. but DO NOT delete outright.  15:36, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) TyBother me 15:49, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) It badly needs a rewrite but it is part of what we do. Jack Hughes (talk) 15:55, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) per above--il&#39;Dictator Mikal (talk) 17:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, it's this time of the month. 17:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Keep.   20:35, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) 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.

 * 3)  21:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) 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)
 * 5) Aww, c'mon. Keep, and keep the jokes too. Secret Squirrel (talk) 23:30, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Not have a rigid structure of writing plans, etc. TyBother me 00:46, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * NOw i remember where I know that line from: "and do what we usually do", "what's that, Brain", "Tonight we take over the world". [[Image:Pink mowse.png|25px]]Godot    Dear god, fucking grow up 00:48, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Vote some more

 * 1) This talk page needs more sections. 00:52, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) You're right. I'll make some more polls! You know, this reminds me of a weird video I found. The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 01:24, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

What should we vote on next?
Choose:

Vote expressing disapproval for all these durn votes and ballot whats-its

I am reliably informed that there are Galápagos penguins on Isabela island living north of the equator, albeit not by much. Mr Larrington (talk) 01:02, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
