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! The Symphony of Noise ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 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'Dictator Mikal (talk) 15:40, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Since they let kids from cities in Germany onto the Wiki, apparently. The Symphony of Noise ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 15:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey Kid, have you read RationalWiki:Saloon_bar#Help_me_be_good!? Генгис^{Is the Pope a Catholic?} 20:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Not only read it, he copy-pasted it. Wěǎšěǐǒǐď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 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. The Symphony of Noise ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 15:36, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
2. Ty^{Bother 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'Dictator Mikal (talk) 17:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
5. Ah, it's this time of the month. Blue (is useful) 17:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
6. Keep. ωεαşεζøίɗ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 20:35, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
7. 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. GodotDear god, fucking grow up 20:50, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
8. Sam ^Tally-ho! 21:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
9. 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)
10. Aww, c'mon. Keep, and keep the jokes too. Secret Squirrel (talk) 23:30, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

What's that? play pin the tail on the donkey? GodotDear god, fucking grow up 00:44, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Not have a rigid structure of writing plans, etc. Ty^{Bother me} 00:46, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

1. This talk page needs more sections. Wéáśéĺóíď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 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)

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)
