Great Fire

Your recent edit linked to this arbitration page and mentioned the discussion on the talk page as being evidence for why the navigation bar should remain. Slight problem: there was no arbitration there, let alone an arbitration ruling, so there's nothing saying that the navigation bar must remain. As a page in the public namespace (albeit, one which you guys created), it should not be branded in such a manner unless you're claiming sole ownership. And if you are doing that, well, for one, I believe you'd have difficulty doing so at this point given the large number of contributions accepted from members of the public. And second, if you want to claim it as an owned page, it really should be a subpage of either the 2Cool or ALiM pages. J3D even briefly did just that a few years ago as a way of claiming explicit ownership of the page, but had his action questioned by Nubis and others at the link you provided.

Quick additional note: I'm aware of the fact that Nubis wanted to keep it out of your namespace, but I disagree with him. If the page is an owned one, it should be in your namespace. Aichon 21:16, 5 September 2012 (BST)

Aichon said this is the place to weigh in on this one, so here goes. I'm cool with 2Cool/ALiM having a Great Fire of Malton article, but as one of the most significant pre-2005 events in the fictional Malton backstory, I would want there to be a 2Cool-free alternative article. If the conclusion is that the current content needs the banner, then it should be moved somewhere else (either a subpage of ALiM or a subpage of Great Fire of 1912, with a new one being made. Just my 2¢. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 00:31, 6 September 2012 (BST)
