Talk:E. Urner Goodman

message: This article is being vandalised and there don't seem to be people reverting it. Anchoress · Weigh Anchor · Catacomb 01:51, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because this is today's Wikipedia Main Page Featured Article, we can expect a sharp increase in vandalism. I requested short-term protection while the article is featured on the Main Page, but was turned down per WP:MPFAP. According to this essay, 90 vandalisms in a 24-hour period is "average" for a Main Page Featured Article, so it seems to be tacitly accepted. JGHowes talk -  02:37, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah I know that, but my point is it's not being reverted. Usually when an article makes the mainpage it has a few sets of eyes on it (usually the primary editors who brought it to FA status). Those people seem to not be on the job.

replies: text: Frankly, vandalism seems rather light compared to other Scouting articles that made TFA and it seems to be reverted pretty quickly.  There has been some collateral vandalism on Boy Scouts of America, but nothing major.  --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk -  10:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: When I posted the original comment and the first reply, it wasn't being reverted quickly. But right after my comment here, I posted on the help desk asking for fresh eyes, and since then reversions have been quicker. Anchoress · Weigh Anchor · Catacomb 14:10, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Whatever. I revert vandalism on a lot of front page articles and I was just trying to be helpful. I certainly didn't get 'too wrapped up in the attacks' - I don't perceive vandalism as an attack. But you seem to have your own opinions, that's fine. Best wishes and happy editing.

thread_title:  Death Date 

message: Dear fellow contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted. MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this. 
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. I'm seeking feedback about this proposal to remove it from the main text (using a script) in about a week's time on a trial basis/ The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.
