Wow. When Maveric first "mandated" that the VfD header be included on every article on the VfD page, I objected, claiming that such action was unnecessary. Not one person came to my defense, and I was attacked and excoriated for my lack of support for Wikipedia. Now here I am, having bent my neck and acceded to the will of the Wikipedia, and now I'm attacked for putting the headers ON the articles?
Don't confuse disagreement with attack. I saw no attack. However, I'll add my support: The headers are needed to inform editors and readers of the article that it may be deleted soon. Not having such a header and just deleting the article is a denial of due process to the editors and readers of the article. Please continue to add this header as you see fit.
Will someone please fill me on the rules and when they change? It seems that no matter what I do, it's wrong. Every single time I add something to the Main Page article, Maveric deletes it.
Stubs listed in the Selected Articles section on the Main Page are often replaced by better examples of our content. That is the whole point of the Selected Articles section! There also has to be some criteria to base listing on. For the Anniversaries section much of that is dictated on the relative completeness of the article. Other things to consider are the relative importance of the event. More on Talk:Main Page, Talk:Selected Articles on the Main Page and my user talk page. Once again you are spamming your complaints in multiple places which requires multiple replys.
