The "green writeup" is misleading in several ways, beginning from the first sentence. (1) The word 'transition' is not a single well-defined useful term. It is a jargon word, used here on these forums, with several different meanings in different contexts. I already listed some of the existing meani...

Here's the writeup I mentioned yesterday, that could be a starting point for a LifeWiki page. [...] Feedback is welcome! [...] Feedback (regarding your idea to make a page for the word) was already provided in previous discussion. You ignored that feedback. I see no reason to expect that you won't ...

I acknowledge that I've received that feedback from you -- and I don't think that it's appropriate for you to keep repeating it. I don't think it is appropriate for you to keep flooding terminology discussion threads with your long posts that are trying to "oversee" the discussion without actually ...

The community doesn't really need you "looking at the discussion so far". There is no "we". There is only your opinion (stated and restated again and again) about what is supposed to be "consensus". You cannot provide objective summaries on this topic. You got involved in the disagreement from the s...

Currently Lua scripts can use the scripting command "g.savechanges(query, message)" to show a sort of a confirmation dialog, where there are three buttons (yes, no, cancel). Neither of the buttons aborts the script immediately; instead, clicking on one of buttons returns the corresponding value. AFA...

LifeWiki:Style guide says: The purpose of LifeWiki is to provide encyclopedia-style content describing Conway's Game of Life and similar cellular automata. All articles should be informative and targeted at the site's audience. Information that is only of interest to the writer or to other editors ...

Several earlier posts I think it goes both ways. A birth transition is a cell turning on. A birth condition describes when a birth transition happens. They are paired together very tightly; every birth transition that ever happens happens because of a birth condition. Something like "B3a" is both a ...

As far as I can tell, I'm on the same side [...] You are an active side in this entire debate. That means that you cannot yourself determine whether you're right or wrong, and cannot determine what should be done in this situation. I suggest that you should undo your edit that added the redlink, an...

Nobody has stepped up to fix the obvious redlink and inconsistency in OCA:HighFlock . "The obvious redlink" was created by you, while participating in this very dispute, and perhaps as an intermediate step to gain upper hand in this dispute. There were no other links to the same target at the time,...

No matter how many times you restate your personal preferences , the most productive thing to do remains to wait until someone else , an uninvolved editor, decides to go and fix the actual problems with LifeWiki articles. How do you propose that a decision should be made on whether to implement your...

How would you suggest that the decision should be made, about which technical definition of "transition" should be documented on the LifeWiki? The word 'transition', as used on these forums, is local forum jargon. It's not a technical term, and doesn't have a single well-defined universal meaning. ...

So now the question is: are there in fact any uses of "transition" on the LifeWiki, where the article's meaning would be more intuitive if they were replaced with "condition"? OCA:tlife and Hensel notation are two examples of pages, where the word 'transition' is currently used in an incorrect and ...

I'll add that the wider Life/CA community does in fact speak about conditions. (Conditions for a cell to be born in the next generation; conditions for a cell to survive; conditions for a cell to be alive in the next generation; in general, conditions for something to happen -- the underlying idea r...

I don't think I have seen mentioned the fact that websites like Lifewiki are generally descriptive, rather than prescriptive (eg. citing other sources for info). The problem with this is that the words/phrases are not synonyms. 'Condition', 'transition', 'transition rule' are all used, with differe...

Hensel notation has the exact same issues and nobody complains. Hensel notation does have some of the same issues.
