Oddly enough the Wikipedia article makes even less sense than the original declaration. bibliomaniac15 --- On Thu, 4/9/09, James Farrar <james.farrar(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: James Farrar <james.farrar(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Green Ink Day To: "English Wikipedia" <wikien-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 9:59 AM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_ink 2009/4/9 <purple.clouder(a)gmail.com>

"it is common to refer to correspondence of any kind (including email and webpages) as being in "green ink", so long as it broadly fits the following identifying characteristics: - Stridency - Impertinence - Unreasonableness - Unrealism - Fancifulness - Obsessiveness" 2009/4/9 Scientia Potentia est <bibliomaniac_15(a)yahoo.com>

Please ignore this Green Ink Day nonsense, and address the Alan Cabal article that has been expunged from Wikipedia's mainspace to its userspace for unjust reasons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MichaelQSchmidt/sandbox_The_unloved_artic… Bill ________________________________ From: Scientia Potentia est <bibliomaniac_15(a)yahoo.com> To: English Wikipedia <wikien-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2009 1:07:56 PM Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Green Ink Day Oddly enough the Wikipedia article makes even less sense than the original declaration. bibliomaniac15 --- On Thu, 4/9/09, James Farrar <james.farrar(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: James Farrar <james.farrar(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Green Ink Day To: "English Wikipedia" <wikien-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 9:59 AM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_ink 2009/4/9 <purple.clouder(a)gmail.com>

You should take your complaint on-wiki - discussions off-wiki seldom, if ever, lead to on-wiki action. Even in those cases, the argument in favor of a particular action needs to be made again on-wiki. I think you've already seen that there isn't a huge volume of concern with this situation on this list, so it seems unlikely you will get the relief you seek. Nathan

For those wondering what's going on, this article has been through a deletion discussion four times: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alan_Cabal (March 08) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alan_Cabal_(2n… (January 09) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alan_Cabal_(3r… (March 09) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2009_March_30 (DRV, March 09) I make no comment on the merits. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk

NOTE: The deletion review was actually held on March 30th to April 4th or 5th. You made an error. Furthermore, it was speedy deleted. You CANNOT speedy delete an article with 40 fucking references. This is scandalous. ________________________________ From: Andrew Gray <andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk> To: English Wikipedia <wikien-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2009 3:38:25 PM Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Green Ink Day (stick to Alan Cabal) 2009/4/9 Bill Carter <billdeancarter(a)yahoo.com>om>:

It is not really reasonable to say the article was speedily deleted. The third AfD debate ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alan_Cabal_(3r…) ran for the full time, and ended in a clear delete consensus. The article was then created again, which made a clear case of speedy deletion under criterion G4 (recreation of previously deleted material). Only after this was noticed and the article deleted under G4 was the AfD close taken to deletion review. During this debate the article history was restored so that non-admins could see the article. A further full time debate was held. There was no consensus to overturn the close, so when the deletion review ended the history was again deleted. Deletion debates do not always come to the right decision, but when they don't, it is a mistake and not a scandal. The reason for the article being nominated for deletion was lack of notability, and not lack of references. The problem with the references is, I suspect, that too few of them are in the sort of mainstream publications which would make a clear case of notability. -- Sam Blacketer
