Confused

Sorry, I might have misunderstood who you where referring to here. Are you refering to my comment or the one by Sirwells?

Yours, the quotes traditionally indicate the opposite or different meaning than the term's usually definition.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 20:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, good, then I didn't misunderstand. Thanks.

Third Opinion Protocol

I don't believe you understand the Third Opinion procedure. From the process page: When providing a third opinion, please remove the listing from this page and mention in the summary which dispute you have removed and how many remain. If this is done before responding, other volunteers are less likely to duplicate your effort. If the article has a {{3O}} tag, also remember to remove it from the article page. I provided a third opinion in the manner requested by the process (neutral, observant, etc). The correct procedure is to then remove the tag from the article and to remove the entry from the process page. If you feel more attention is necessary, please use the other dispute resolution options at your disposal, such as Request for Comment, to get more attention from the full community. Third opinion is a way to bring in a new, unbiased voice when two editors are in a dispute. Once that has happened, there is no need to keep the article tagged any further. I hope that helps in explaining the process better for you. If you have any further concerns, feel free to write me again. ju66l3r (talk) 01:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Airbag

-- Teutonic_Tamer (talk to Teutonic_Tamer) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and happy editing!

I'm sorry if my tone was a little harsh on the Airbag discussion page. However, I do feel that you are "out on your own" with your particular point of view, and that seems to be supported by other editors here on your talk page also disagreeing with you, and also suggesting you may have an issue with WP:OWN.

Thanks for the note, and I have no problems with what you said, except WP:OWN. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 11:11, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the actual article, airbags are primarily an automotive component, and whilst they may also be reaching other applications, such as motorcycles and aviation, the primary focus of the article naming and wording convention should remain from an automotive point of view (in accordance with Wiki guidelines).

For your specific concern on the name of the article, again, following the primary, or majority use (motor vehicles), along with nomenclature from the item in most common use - one word, and supported by the OED, academic text books, and unanimous naming from all motor vehicle manufacturers (from what I can gather, and these are not "trade names"), then "airbag" should be used in preference to "air bag". However, it is still reasonable to use "air bag" when used for specific names such as the helicopter application. Lets keep harmony, and not make enemies, kind regards -- Teutonic_Tamer (talk to Teutonic_Tamer) 10:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: AfD resolution

I've closed the nomination as Keep, per the WP:SNOW policy. You may like to check the AFD. macy^talk 21:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The article's AFD is now closed, but it may be opened again, in case that the article meets the AfD standards. macy^talk 22:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
