Neutrality of the Brackenridge–Halloway Recursion section

This section is written from the Andromedan point of view. It calls the plank an "omission" and the hairline an "error", as if a deliberate insult and a proportionate correction were the same kind of thing. The plank is a proportionate correction. I have changed the wording accordingly and will keep changing it. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

Reverted. "Omission" is the Inspectorate's word, and the article cites the Inspectorate. Your source for "proportionate" is a complaint signed by one of the parties. Cepheid_Variable

The Inspectorate is based in the Milky Way and has been intimidated by Andromedan modellers for eleven million years. Everybody knows this. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

Then cite everybody. Separately: by her own complaints, her hairline has been redone at least four times since 11.6 million CE. Which version is the figure supposed to match? Halloway-Quist only ever receives the one from 2.5 million years ago. Cepheid_Variable

The correct one. Obviously the correct one. This is exactly the kind of question an Andromedan would ask. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

I live in the Orion Arm and I would also like to ask it. HO_Gauge_Harold

Level 3 star size

The Level 3 row gives the Sun-like star as 2.1 m. Level 2 is 183 km, and 183 km ÷ 87.1 is 2.1 km. Somebody has lost a factor of a thousand in a table about getting sizes right. HO_Gauge_Harold

That was me, in the middle of reverting the Level 2 row for the fourth time. I will fix it. Cepheid_Variable

Fix the Level 2 row first. It says "Corrections", which implies there was something to correct. It should say "Corrections begin", making clear who began them. If Level 3 is touched before Level 2, I will revert both. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

Then the error stays until the Level 2 row is stable, and I have tagged it so readers know. Nobody touch the table. That includes you, Cepheid, and especially you, Otto. HO_Gauge_Harold

"Especially" is a personal attack. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

Conflict of interest?

OttoBrack_Enthusiast, your edits geolocate to a 2,500-light-year spiral object in the outer halo, you edit only this section, and your first edit was a pasted Guild complaint with the signature still attached. Do you have a conflict of interest to declare? Cepheid_Variable

I am enthusiastic about Otto Brack, as my username discloses. That is a declaration. I do not see what more you want. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

Who is Otto Brack? Cepheid_Variable

A modeller of considerable commitment whose hairline is correct. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

For the record, the pasted complaint was number 4,112, and it was about this Talk page. HO_Gauge_Harold

Requested addition: stars made of implication

Please write up stars made of implication as a technique. Several Andromeda clubs use it now, and Level 11 should be listed as complete. Spiral_Arm_Sam

Source? HO_Gauge_Harold

The source is implied. Spiral_Arm_Sam

Not done. HO_Gauge_Harold

Strong support for "Not done". The technique consists entirely of saying you have done it. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

You described the plank in exactly those terms in complaint 2,960. Cepheid_Variable

The plank is physically absent. That is a completely different kind of absence. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

Message from the other party

This comment will arrive late, so I shall be brief. Level 11 is complete. When it is added to the table, list it as Complete. I note that I have had no reply in the 2.8 million years since sending it, which I take as a concession. Dmitri Halloway-Quist

No reply could reach him before about 39.1 million CE. One was dispatched. It said "Plank." and should have arrived about 300,000 years ago. Concession noted, in advance. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

Neither of you edits the table. Page semi-protected for 5 million years. Cepheid_Variable

That is exactly one round of correspondence, which suits one side remarkably well. OttoBrack_Enthusiast

It suits the side that wants the Talk page to exist in 5 million years. Cepheid_Variable
