Sorry to wipe out all your work on the Space Trilogy section -- I've been trying to clean that up all afternoon. My first fixes were pretty much the same as yours, but then I realized that we had a major NPOV (Neutral Point of View) problem, and spent a lot of time researching that.

Just a note to thank you for your removal of the ridiculous pedaphilia stuff, I'd moved it and toned it down (lacking the nerve in the face of previous discourse to just delete it) so I thought I just register my agreement with your action 62.25.109.196 08:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recreational drug taking

"Hmmm ... I think one can have some serious debate about that; one might even argue that "mature adults" may be able to use recreational drugs responsibly, but that using this one is a sure sign of not exactly being mature in the first place. Any I might add that the IP writing before me might also look up how to format what one writes in a discussion, providing their brains are not so much on overdrive at the moment that they think everybody will bow in astonishments to their anonymous contributions immediately anyway. -- John Smythe 08:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)"

Should I take that to mean any adult that takes alcohol recreationally shouldn't be classed as mature?

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
