Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion/User:Gp75motorsports/Wikipedia Users' Alliance

message: *"Sermon" Many ask, “Why WUA” I know that there is an established group already but people like options. Allow me to give you an example, there are numerous charities that basically do the same thing, however, perhaps one group appeals more to one person than another group does. Ok so maybe there are wiki members who want to edit and fight vandalism and they want to be part of a group….but they want a “fresh group”, by this I mean a third party (if I can use that term). They want something that is not mainstream (again if I can use that term). The WUA is new and while to some degree we do the same things as the established group, we will attract those members who want to be part of a smaller group. Many will and have already said, “No one needs to be part of a group to help fight vandalism” this is indeed true, anyone can fight vandalism regardless of what groups they may or may not belong too, however, while they wish to help they don’t have a “family“ (small group I mean by this term) to encourage them. WUA is a small group that will make these people fell more comfortable editing and counter-acting vandalism. I am confident that our group will add more anti-vandalism editor to wikipedia. I strongly believe that the WUA should be allowed to be a wiki-project, or at least a small “branch” of the established group. I assert the right of the WUA to exist. I wish to comply will all of wikipedia’s laws and this group certainly will. I believe that it is in the best interests of wikipedia to allow this group to exist. Whether or not it mergers with the established group is not a major concern for me, though if that is what it takes for WUA to exist, then by all means I strongly support it. As the co-founder (along with User: King of Nepal, who is currently out of the country so he can’t be here to make a statement) I am proud of the WUA and love wikipedia. I come here now, delivering this long statement because I strongly believe that the Wikipedia User’s Alliance will be a valuable asset to the wiki community at large. I know the User: King of Nepal in real life and have become good friends with User: Gp75motorsports (who I want to express my most sincere thanks to for bringing the WUA this far) and I wish to say hello to are newest member Goodshop. Lastly I wish to ask this question, please think about it, “Many have said that because there are already groups similar to the WUA that there is no reason for it to exist, however I say, Why is that a good reason? I say what is the harm in allowing the WUA to exist? And all users should be encouraged to fight vandalism, even if it means forming groups like the WUA (as long as they follow wiki’s guidelines, which the WUA will). I am shock to the opposing that the WUA and it’s supports have come up against. I hope that all opposers will re-examine the reasons why they don’t support WUA. Thank you very much, I have to go soon so this may be my last comment.--Greenwood1010 02:07, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Oak Knoll Winery

message: This article states in the History section that
:By 1986 the winery was the second largest by volume sold in Oregon,[3] but slipped to second by 1988.[4] 
I find this statement very confusing. Oak Knoll was the second largest by 1986. This is okay, and completely makes sense. But it slipped into second by 1988?? I suspect that either the first or second "second" is misstated. I wish I could refer to the refereces listed, but they are both over 20-year-old newspaper articles and inaccessible online. Can anyone check the reference (or refer to another information resource) and make this statement clear? Thanks. --Occhanikov (talk) 15:45, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

This is a problem because this entire article is written without a source and the information I was correcting, regarding the grade levels and trips, is not true year-to-year. If this information isn't going to be sourced, or at least stated to be subject to change, it needs to be removed completely. Otherwise this entire article should go into review because as it stands none of this information has sources attached to it, and information on Wikipedia is supposed to be true always, not just true at the time the original author wrote it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.172.9 (talk) 15:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

message: I can't find this in standard nursery rhyme collections.  The oldest reference I can locate is a 1909 Indian Rights report (http://books.google.com/books?id=6vMZAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA3-PA139) in which it appears as
:A wise old owl lived in an oak;
:The more he lived, the less he spoke;
:The less he spoke, the more he heard.
:Now wasn't he a wise old bird?
Books.google.com also turns up references in 1918 (Life in a Tank p. 17) and 1921 (Correspondence Education p. 73.)  There is considerable variation in the last line: "Why can't we all be like that bird?" or "Soldiers should imitate that old bird." Torkmusik 09:04, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey all.
When I am not working on RPG games I am working on encyclopedia articles about them.  Wow. That really sounds geeky. ;)
Anyway. Someone has decided that the Dresden Files RPG is not notable enough and has set it up to be deleted from Wikipedia.
Here is the article  
What I need from you all is some help to make sure this doesn’t happen. 
So anything you can send me would be great.  Any place it is talked about, links to reviews (based on playtests maybe?) or anything.
Now to make sure this is done correctly, don’t engage the nominating editor and tell him that he is an idiot or anything like that.  Just give me the facts and I’ll make sure they get into the article.
Thanks so much.

Talk:Winter swimming

message: I think that this redirect is incorrect. Winter swimming is distinct from Ice Swimming because there are many countries where Winter Swimming occurs but ice does not. Also that many people will swim in water in the winter when the water is above freezing, but not swim when the temperature is below freezing.
In my opinion, either there should be a separate Winter Swimming page or the Ice Swimming page should be rewritten to cover "Winter and Ice Swimming".

thread_title:  Redirect 

message: I think that winter swimming and ice swimming belong together.  It is quite obvious that ice swimming implies winter swimming, even in areas where the winter has a duration that covers the whole year.  And it is also clear that winter swimming usually does not imply ice swimming.  But I think that the ice is not really a relevant fact, it is just an indication that according to the non-metric Celsius-scale the temperature is around 0 (if not salty) and that it won't get any colder, but according to the Fahrenheit scale which happens to be more adequate for judging the human recognition of temperatures this is not such a relevant point.  The main aspects of winter swimming have to do with the interaction of the human body with cold water, which is basically the same with temperatures that allow the existence of ice and temperatures and saltinesses that do not allow the existence of ice, but are still in a range that is dangerous for longer swimming activities and considered very cold to most humans, especially by those who are not accustomed to it.  So I would recommend putting the human activity into the center and merge the two articles under the name "winter swimming" and make "ice swimming" a forwarder to "winter swimming". -- Bk1 168 (talk) 20:00, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
