Wikipedia talk:Proposal to expand WP:CSD/Proposal VII (Article forks)

message: Does this policy need an explicit exception that would allow taking an existing article from article space and creating a fork in the user namespace?  Or is this covered under the general principles governing deletion of user-space pages?  At the very least it should be pointed out that forking, done right, is not discouraged (or is it?). --MarkSweep 01:06, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the policy should clarify this.  Forking an article to a user page is reasonable; it's only when users can't distinguish the original article that forks become disruptive.  ‣ᓛᖁ[ ᑐ] 02:40, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Proposal to expand WP:CSD/Proposal VIII (Procedure)

message: I would like this as a new proposal. It may not be an "expand WP:CSD" item, but it is related.
: Add the following text to the lead section of WP:CSD :  Interpretation of these guidelines is very often subjective, and sometimes controversial, especially when an article's deletion could be later contested.   In order to avoid most problems, every deletion of a page by an admin under these cases must be the result of a request made by another user ("tag and bag").  The most common way this can be achieved is for one editor to include the  template (or equivalent) on the page. Whatever the method, the request must be documented, before deletion, on either the main page or the associated discussion page.  The only exceptions are: 1) clear vandalism or test pages / jibberish, 2) an admin's own user space subpages, or 3) where the admin is the only listed editor (typos, etc.).
This change gives us a safeguard against rash decisions, and is really something that is done already.  I welcome feedback on the wording, but previous discussion indicates enough people like this concept that it can be brought to a vote. -- Netoholic @ 07:35, 2004 Dec 19 (UTC)
*I would advocate the "tag and bag" proposal with no exceptions to the requirement of tagging for deletion.  This would have the benefit of reducing the number of situations where a user edits a page to tag it for speedy, and before saving, an admin deletes it, causing the save to re-create the page. --Carnildo 08:43, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

But Amano and all of the others listed before the addition of Fujii seem to have achieved something worth achieving; Fujii seems merely to have taken dimwittedness to a homicidal level. Still, there's no reason to sanitize the article, if this woman merits her own article, I suppose it's arguable that she merits a mention in the article on her hometown. But if so, the nature of her fame should be described.
Of course I could fantasize the "fame" myself, but that would be a lie: I think she merits obscurity and would instead be inclined to delete any mention of her. -- Hoary (talk) 14:53, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Most statistics regarding Luxembourg, however, are distorted by a factor of about 2 or ½. For in Luxembourg about half of all employees are  cross border workers, so non-residents, which together with the inhabitants generate the gross national product in Luxembourg and pay the same taxes and social security contributions as the residents. Therefore falsified results arise for example for the gross national product per capita or the purchasing power per capita, etc., which consider only one half, namely the population, but not the other half, namely the cross border workers.

message: This page clearly needs updating!!
About the qualification "tax haven": one would need a clear definition (?OECD) but to my sense Luxembourg isnt't a general one like Monaco or other very small states. The banking industry depends among others on the strict banking secrecy, a feature shared notably by the Swiss banking industry.
I will try to work on the page over the next weeks. For anyone interested in the Luxembourg economy: just mail me (ferdy.adam@statec.etat.lu) or have a look at www.statistiques.public.lu).
The link to the OECD statistics page on Luxembourg seems very rich.

That's plausible but it's not actually information unless there's a reliable source somewhere.

message: Grated Parmesan cheese always forms large clumps when kept in a closed container in a freezer. They sit on the top of the rest of the cheese, as though they climbed up there on their own.

message: A few days ago, the European Union Court decided that the practice known as "Italian Sounding" is no longer permitted. Therefore, you can no longer translate "Parmigiano" into "Parmesan" because it is illegal in Europe.

This decision aims to protect the originality and uniqueness of this excellent Italian product. Please update the page accordingly.

:This might warrant a mention somewhere as something that applies within the EU, but it has no relevance beyond that. It's basically legal trivia about a single (albeit large) jurisdiction.
