replies: text: That's fine with me.  I just wanted to discuss why this page needs to be more "encyclopedic."  Perhaps some articles on Wikipedia are more like reviews than standalone Wikipedia articles, but an article can also be lengthy while remaining neutral in tone and not trying to give an endorsement in favor or in opposition or in like/dislike of the subject itself. 2603:6000:C305:78DF:2D06:C97E:6A21:BB90 (talk) 05:13, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

# The name of the member of council
# The position they held
# The duration of their term(s)

Talk:Marine Biology Simulation Case Study

message: I have not done much editing before on Wikipedia but I am either doing something very strange without realizing it or this is a bug with this particular page.
when I go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Biology_Simulation_Case_Study
I saw the text: ...as well as requiring students to understand how objects such "the environment", "the fish",...
I went to edit the page to add the as so it read objects such as and not just objects such "the environment"
I made the edit (like I have done before without problems), saved the changes, and refreshed the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Biology_Simulation_Case_Study and the missing 'as' was still missing.
I then tried this again adding 'as' twice so it read such as as "... and instead of saving I just previewed the changes and although the preview still said such "... without either 'as' the xml at the bottom of _the same page_ had both.
I then did the same preview but instead added the words "why are my changes not showing up?" after the 'as' so that it said such as why are my changes not showing up "... at which point the XML matched what the preview was showing including my test _and_ the previously missing 'as'.
after many permutations and testing outside of the preview ( as you can see in the change log I even at one point added the text "this is a test wich could not be done in the sand box and I will remove it promptly" in the actual saved article which I probably shouldn't have) and all the edits worked correctly except for those that would have added the missing 'as'.
Then I went to the discussion page for this article and it gave me the following warning at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Marine_Biology_Simulation_Case_Study&action=edit :
We don't have an article called "Marine Biology Simulation Case Study"
    * Search Wikipedia for Marine Biology Simulation Case Study - it might be called something else.
...but you can write it!
    * Type in the box below and click save page to start this article.
      Your article will be published immediately. Create an account to have yourself listed as the author. ...
This warning is obviously false as the article has not been removed and I came to the discussion page through the link at the top of the article.
Again, It may be I am doing something wrong but I doubt it and you can view the log of edits for yourself if you think I made some sort of syntax error in the XML but whatever the problem it sure is strange. 68.164.92.182 00:37, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

message: As discussed above since 2006(!), I propose Stardust (band) should be merged in here, as the band is only notable for this single, roughly per WP:1E. This actually was proposed without opposition and done in 2015, but the band page was unmerged a few months later without discussion and has developed in parallel.
Given that the project only existed to record the song, there seems no benefit in them having separate articles, and currently they largely duplicate each other. I'd also be happy with only the band page existing, but I think the song page is on balance more sensible. TSP (talk) 02:36, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/KJV/Proposed decision

message: 2) In accordance with community consensus, neither the entire text of chapters of books of the Bible nor quotations drawn exclusively from the Kings James Version shall be included in articles.
Whilst, as a general principle, I would support this; creating a hard and fast rule without exceptions, across potentially hundreds of articles, is unprecedented and ill-advised. It would override any local editorial decisions that the contrary better served a particular article. This is likely to have the following effects: 
#Even although some Bible chapters are ‘’very’’ short. This would mean that an article on a Psalm, for instance (and some have only 2-3 verses), could not quote the text at all. Whilst longer quotations of sizable passages would be allowed in other articles. This, even if various important understandings of the text were being discussed.
#It would mean that a presently settled article, which includes even a short KJV quotation in the discussion, would have to have the quotation removed, or other translations inserted. This, even if the other translations add nothing to the article, or don't substantially differ from the KJV.
#However, other articles which include short quotations solely from any other version of the Bible would be unaffected. Thus the most popular English language version, will be the sole version to be so treated. That's simply crazy.
#If a Bible quotation is given where the translation is not contentious, so that only one version was really necessary, under this ruling it would be permissible to quote from any solo version other than the KJV. 
I realise that there have been edit wars on various articles (many instigated by a user since banned), and that edit warring is bad. But arbcom-endorsed rules are likely to stifle debate and consensus developing on what is best for an individual article, and encourage people pushing an anti-'biblecruft' pov to interfere with articles they have not previously edited, and have no interest in, and forbid certain options in the name of arbcom. This is bad ‘law’, created in response to a now dead crisis. Wikipedia doesn’t normally have hard and fast rules, but now we have one for the Bible. 
I urge a rethink, or at least, the insertion of some mitigating qualifier – ‘normally’ or ‘unless there is a local consensus to do otherwise’ etc. Or, a principle that where there is a short quotation, only if the language of that quotation substantially differs between translations, need more than one translations should be used. --Doc ask? 19:37, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
