****I don't think there should have ever been a vote in the first place. If people vote for a name that is speculative, it won't fly. My comment above is just an answer to Ted and my own opinion--I'm not saying I ''have'' to be sufficiently convinced, I'm just saying I'm not convinced. Nobody is saying that you have to pass my consent to have a name change, but the name does have to be nonspeculative. It says right at the top of the [[Talk:Bliss and horror#Name Voting|voting section]], "Note that the title that gets the most votes will not necessarily be the one chosen. The name will still have to be non-speculative about how the power operates and follow other standards and rules of the wiki. The admins will make determinations about whether a title is appropriate before implementing a change." If the other admins think another name is better, I'll relent. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 12:16, 26 June 2007 (EDT) |

*To be more specific, I think ''Emotion manipulation'' is acceptable, not great. ''[[Bliss and horror]]'' is also acceptable. As my vote shows, I think ''Sensation manipulation'' is better than either, but still not great. I'm bowing to popular opinion because I don't see ''Bliss and horror'' as superior to ''Emotion manipulation''. What I really want to do is guage the opinions of the other admins and see if the "popular" choice has enough going for it to justify a move. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 16:36, 26 June 2007 (EDT) |

Revision as of 20:36, 26 June 2007
Name Changes
- Bliss and horror: Are we prepared to make a call on this name change? I'm content with moving it to Emotion manipulation. --Ted C 11:05, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
- I still haven't heard a convincing argument as to why "bliss and horror" is so objectionable or why anything else is less speculative. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:55, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
- Not trying to be a pain, but why have a vote section to begin with? Why not have a 'convince Ryan' section instead? You may not be as convinced as you want to be, but the majority of people who have joined in the discussion are convinced that Emotion Manipulation is a better title than Bliss and Horror. If popular vote on naming conventions isn't the way to go (here or in the future), then who makes the call and what standardized and expected procedure is implemented to make that call?
