Talk:Empire of Atlantium

message: Why is this organisation notable? CarbonLifeForm (talk) 09:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."  Please read the notability guideline that you linked to. PubliusFL (talk) 18:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: CarbonLifeForm, it's included in the Lonely Planet guide to micronations. Onecanadasquarebishopsgate (talk) 19:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Then it shoud be included only as notable as an online fantasy country, as it has never secceeded from Australia, he still pays taxes to Australia, he lives on his apartment in Sidney (the real Atlantium) claims to be more than one individual on his website/country and has no other evidence that could sustain under any cirscusntances sovereign rule, not to mention that the mocking "news" about him only consider him as the local village idiot of Sydney so far.

thread_title: Notability

message: I've reverted the unexplained blanking of most of the bibliography content. The sources in question should be cited within the article, not deleted. --Gene_poole (talk) 21:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What information are those sources supporting? Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 22:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi.  If the sources in question discuss Empire of Atlantium or related topics, but are not used in the article, I would like to suggest moving them to a "further reading" section and merging external links into this new section.  Thanks. —Viriditas | Talk 09:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. Quite a number of them probably should eventually be cited in the article - but until they are, parking them in a further reading section would be appropriate. --Gene_poole (talk) 10:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Then I'll go ahead and do it if there aren't any objections. —Viriditas | Talk 10:39, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Bibliography

message: This article just happens to gloss over the the fact that no other country recognizes Atlantium as a sovereign nation. Thus, the view that this is an independent micro-nation is a minority view and should be treated as such. Many of the things in this article border on micronation cruft instead of dealing with the actual importance of this organization as it is. Instead, too much space is devoted to stock templates and forms which are all well and good in mainstream micro-nations, but only serve to confuse the issue here. I respect Gene Poole as an editor, but he has a clear conflict of interest here, so much so that it would be best if he refrained from editing (except as relates to completely uncontroversial content) and instead participated in talk page discussion only.

replies: text: You seem to have confused micronation with microstate. Two completely different things. --Gene_poole (talk) 03:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recognition 

message: User:Gene Poole, an editor of this article, claims to be "co-founder and chief executive of Atlantium " on his user page. Why isn't he mentioned in the article? The article mentions 3 teenagers who first created it, then says one of them revived it.  Of course, there is a bit of COI here. Doug Weller (talk) 09:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Gene Poole is George Cruickshank, he is mentioned in the article. - Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 14:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, ok. The COI problem doesn't exist at the moment as Poole is blocked for a month. Doug Weller (talk) 15:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

text: This much is obvious from the gallery of Atlantian currency. Can you unblock him early if he agrees to release his monies under the GFDL, Doug?  — CharlotteWebb 20:59, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My bad, I should have looked at the pretty pictures. Hm, the money, tempting... Doug Weller (talk) 05:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: This article has a huge number of non-free images, far more than is needed. --Apoc2400 (talk) 18:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content#Fair_use_of_commemorative_postage_stamps. In the current climate, all of the non-free images are likely to end up being deleted. I would support one use of a stamp or banknote in the article as fair use, but others might disagree. There is too much copyrighted material in the article at the moment.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 17:08, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Surely stuff like "Emperor George II" should be substituted for "George Cruickshank"? Talk of provinces and capitals should probably be replaced to more neutral and accurate words like "apartment" and "hobby farm". --60.241.155.191 (talk) 13:26, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Huh? You mean the "in-universe" policy for fiction? That would not apply here since Atlantium is not fiction as an entity -- the entity of Atlantium exists in the real world, and I don't see how that could be contested. What is not usually accepted is that this entity forms a country or a state. But that does not mean the entity does not exist, and these components of the entity are named with those terms, thus they can be used. mike4ty4 (talk) 11:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gene Poole 

message: I just removed yet another  template placed on this article.  The reasons being:
* This article has survived AfD five times, twice as "keep" (I added visible and prominent links to the AfD discussions to the top of this talk page so random editors will hopefully see these)
* At least two mentions that establish notability by reliable third party sources: A 400-word article in Cabinet magazine; the Lonely Planet mention:

replies: text: I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this notion that I’m a sockpuppet of User:Gene Poole.I am not.  But, the past is the past, and whatever violations of Wikipedia etiquette he may have done do not change the fact that the content of this article is notable enough to stay on the Wikipedia.
