Traveller Rye-Ben/Bye-Ren

You changed the spelling to Bye-Ren, it's supposedly "Rye-Ben" which is how it's spelled in Marc Miller's Traveller (T4) rule book by Imperium Games. It's even spelled that way on the official Traveller Wiki entry. I personally don't have the Aliens Archive book you sourced, although I've seen it and I did notice they spelled it differently. I'm assuming it was a typo on the second book's part but I can't be sure. Anyway not like it's really important for Wikipedia anyway, but for niche Traveller fan info I'd go by the main rule book in any case. Cyberia23 (talk) 23:54, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First off you don't have to come at me with a pompous attitude and bite my head off about changing your "properly sourced edit" I even said - if you bothered to read what I wrote above - that I could be wrong, so you can stop being a jackass about it. Secondly, I didn't know there was an "editors note" in the stupid Alien's book so excuse the shit out of me. I just noticed the changed spelling but wasn't nerdy enough to care as to why. So whatever, change it back if you're gonna lose sleep over it. Cyberia23 (talk) 09:55, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some people really need to acquire thicker skins around the Internet, and yes I'm pointing at you Cyberia23.

I fixed it up once I finished writing what I had to say to you last night. I noticed that you deleted what I wrote on your talk page, as if I give a damn. However, the next time you decide to justify an edit, make sure you have your facts straight. Something which you did not have last night.

For the record, I'll be posting what I wrote to you last night on my talk page, with this response, so everyone can see for themselves exactly what was said. Because it is dishonorable to delete words once spoken/written.

I noticed that you deleted what I wrote on your talk page, as if I give a damn. - Well you obviously do since you consider it so "dishonorable." Dishonorable would be leaving what you say there but changing your words around or something to that effect. Deleting BS off my page - that's just page cleanup. I didn't consider it saintly scripture. FYI it's my talk page and I can edit it how I like. Cyberia23 (talk) 14:20, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wait a moment. So let me get this straight. You changed a properly sourced edit back to the original because you didn't have the book where the change is made? And then to justify the reversion you assume the Aliens Archive note to be WRONG?

Your assertion that the Aliens Archive spelling is incorrect is flawed. If the core rulebook was indeed correct, why then is there an editor's note in Aliens Archive that says the core rulebook spelled it wrong? If the T4 rulebook was in fact correct, there would be no need for an editor's note in Aliens Archive. Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. The truth is that the T4 rulebook is wrong, and Aliens Archive is correct.

P.S. Trying to justify your reversion by using another wiki as evidence is in poor form. Simply put, unless it's graven in stone (i.e., on paper) it is suspect, even if transcribed from the paper source. That said, I have the book sitting next to my computer, open to page 13. On the printed page, in black and white:

"(Editor’s Note: This race is mistakenly called the "Rye-Ben" in the Traveller rulebook. Bye-ren is the correct name.)"

Granted, this is but a minor edit, but there is a better way to do this than by clumsily reverting a properly sourced edit. Sege1701 (talk) 05:39, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

because, I am an a******e.

Really? No kidding? I have to say you're not the first, nor the worst I've met on Wikipedia. A little advice, I suggest you should try constructive criticism for a change, because being an "an a******e" won't win you any respect from me or anyone else around here. Happy editing now.
