Solution to BJAODN criss
by Steve Bennett 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

It's pretty obvious isn't it?: 1) Undelete it all. 2) Download it, converting all internal links to external links 3) Host it on some external site that doesn't claim to respect the GFDL. 4) Link to it from Wikipedia. 5) Redelete it on Wikipedia. Steve

Re: [WikiEN-l] Well, I guess WIKITRUTH *is* an 'attack site' after all...

Then how come I got accused of "stalking" MONGO, by administrators no less, on my user talk page and AN/I, for using it? -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/

Nominations for deletion, too short, not trivia
by K P 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Ah examples of pure crap deletions? This article has been nominated for deletion because it's too short and doesn't include any trivia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Andrew_Airlie "No biography, trivia, and birth date about him and it's too short" It's about an actor, and required only one click on imdb to find out whether or not the actor was notable enough for an entry--instead, the article is up for deletion because some editor is a deletionist.

Why should we cut off our nose by deleting them? Absence of reliable sources? For the [[glurge]] deletion, it is presumably only a matter of time (if you are right and this is essential terminology).

BLP and pseudo-philosophy
by michael west 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

There is an article about greatly reknowned philosopher Chris Langham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Michael_Langan , bar bouncer and radical auto-diadactic thinker. The article about his world inspiring (tongue twister here guys) Cognative Theoretic Model of The Universe, led to an Afd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cognitive-Theo… . Lots of the editors there wondered why he was in wikipedia at all, never-mind his theories that have never gone through any kind of peer-review. Do you think that such articles will stand under the current BLP wipeout? mike

Bus Uncle
by Tony Sidaway 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

I've just performed some radical surgery on an article called Bus Uncle. This unspeakable piece of shit somehow managed to make it to "Featured Article" status without anyone actually reading it. All references to names of private individuals have now been removed. I've also removed it from the Featured Article list.
