Talk:International Society of Cryptozoology

message: The above tag is added because, like it or not, Wikiproject Paranormal has decided to adopt Cryptozoology articles as part of its improvement effort. --InShaneee 15:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, how ridiculous. There must be some line that can be drawn in what a WikiProject can take over — there'd be hell if, say, WikiProject Warmongering decided to adopt articles about U.S. Presidents — but I'm not in the mood to start a fight over at the WikiProject Paranormal talk-page, so I guess this one can stay.

replies: text: Wikiprojects can claim whatever they want, actually. There is no such thing as 'jurisdiction'. --InShaneee 20:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not really a problem of jurisdiction — I don't mind that there's a WikiProject that's adopted this article — so much as a problem of classification: WikiProject Paranormal, by having the name paranormal and by adopting this article, has implicitly classified elusive animal species as paranormal.

text: Might be worthwhile having a look at WP:OWN.  Nobody really needs permission here to add a wikiproject tag. Hiding Talk 21:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Might be worthwhile having a look at what I wrote. I'm quite aware of WP:OWN, and don't feel any particular attachment to this article. Further, I didn't suggest that anyone needed permission to add a WikiProject tag; I just think it's ridiculous, and misleading, to classify elusive animal species as paranormal.

replies: text: Fair enough.  I think it's bad form to insist that a POV is fact. Hiding Talk 23:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, but I don't know what POV I've insisted is fact. I welcome your viewpoint, if you're willing to give it. Ruakh 03:18, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

text: P.S. I'm sorry that I was snippy with you in my earlier comment; it wasn't warranted. (I hadn't meant "I guess this one can stay" as my giving permission, but rather as a fairly literal statement of fact — I was contrasting it with if WikiProject Warmongering adopted U.S. Presidents, which would certainly raise enough hell that it wouldn't be able to remain the case — but I see how it could sound like I was saying I was giving permission.)

replies: text: Just try to look at it this way: #1, it's on the talk page, so no one but other editors will see it, and #2, having it in ANY wikiproject means that more attention will be drawn to its needs. --InShaneee 16:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but it will get attention from paranormal experts, not cryptozoologists. I dunno, it is quite odd to see it on the edit page SamWhite 00:53, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You'll find the above template on every Cryptozoology article out there (or at least, we're working on getting it there). The main reason for that IS to get Cryptozoologists on board. --InShaneee 14:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article be changed from a "scientific organization stub" to a "cryptozoology stub?"  Just a suggestion.  Nineteenninetyfour 21:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, as soon as I finish tagging all the articles for the Cryptids project, I shall go through with all the appropriate stub templates as well. Badbilltucker 23:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
