Socionics article[edit]

The article that you linked would indeed support that section except that it itself does not list any references. Its not really a secondary source. I understand your point about socionics not having many secondary sources yet, so if that page is all there is, it may have to work. WP:VER has some guidelines about what makes a verifiable source, but as with anything, there are always exceptions. --Chuck Sirloin 16:04, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Redirect of Aops[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Aops, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Aops is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Aops, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Socionics deletion debate[edit]

It's a good exercise in the study of extremism. I'm thinking that Mango may respond to a request for mediation/negotiation. He's an extremist; that much is plain considering he's evidently not read the article or tried to understand it. He just sees it as "not notable" under his schema and that's that. I don't think he can enlarge his schema voluntarily... he must adopt it through some means or another.

It's just like how you tend to assume you're in opposition to someone on ethical grounds unless an outside party suggests otherwise. But in that case, I guess that other party wouldn't be allowed to take sides or, even have taken a side in the past...? Tcaudilllg (talk) 01:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed, for the first time, that you're incorporating information from Wikisocion into the wiki articles here. That's against Wikipedia's guidelines, I think. Tcaudilllg (talk) 02:52, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you wrote those articles originally, then Wikisocion can't claim them, only the copies. Would you mind if I removed the Wikisocion notices? You've done a good job, BTW. Tcaudilllg (talk) 23:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
lets discuss this if and when they don't get deleted, because it looks like they will be. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens (talk) 02:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nah I think it'll pass. It's looking more and more like a "no consensus" vote. I've just got to rally people strongly enough that the admin in charge has to make a decision: do they keep their adminship, or do they lose it? But if it doesn't go our way then all hell will break lose between the inclusionists and the deletionists, because there will be an "admin war" between the two camps. The key is to mobilize the inclusionists, and with 1500 admins you can bet there are inclusionists out there. Tcaudilllg (talk) 10:24, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
there is no consensus between inclusionism and deletionism, nor is anyone going to go nuts over one article. either way, this discussion is both moot, and if not moot, likely to descend into an unresolvable argument. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens (talk) 21:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Nontheism[edit]

See: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nontheism.

Greetings, I see that you have chosen to conspicuously identify as a "Nontheistic Wikipedian" Me too! Currently there is a proposal to delete the article Nontheism or merge and redirect it to Atheism. Greg Bard (talk) 22:28, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article PokerStars Big Game has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:27, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stuyvesant High School Featured Article Review[edit]

The Stuyvesant High School article has been listed at Featured Article Review at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Stuyvesant High School/archive2. Concerns expressed by User:TenPoundHammer include:

  • Very many portions of the article are unsourced.
  • The article's structure is very sloppy, with loads of very short paragraphs and standalone sentences. A major copy edit is needed. (For instance, nearly every sentence in "History" begins with "In [year]…".)
  • Dubious lists ("Other publications" and "summary of floors") that are also unsourced.
  • Entirely unsourced segments ("SING!").
  • "In popular culture" is a mess of trivia.
  • Another editor also raised concern that some of the text seems promotional. I tagged at least one section ("strength in areas such as math and science").
  • I also see a very high number of primary sources.

Editors are invited to address the issues in order to prevent this article from being delisted from FA.

As someone who was notified on previous FARs, I thought you might be interested. RossPatterson (talk) 22:51, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
