Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/FilePile

message: So clearly there's some dispute about this VfD page. Would anyone (Xed?) object to my cleaning it up by organizing the votes into "Votes from newly-created users" and "Votes from longstanding users"? I don't want to bias the eventual admin decision one way or the other, but it would be helpful to see what the results of the distinction are, if that's what the decision is going to be based on. As it stands, if the anomalously large number of votes on this page IS due to an orchestrated campaign external to the Wikipedia, it would be helpful (even necessary) to see what the consensus APART from that campaign is.  —  Adam Conover † 20:03, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
:The whole process is invalid since the many delete votes from un-eligible voters will convince others to vote for the articles deletion. It would be best if the vfd was abandoned.  By the way, some of the users have admitted that its an orchestrated campaign to keep it secret. Xed 23:15, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If the process is "invalid" it is for other reasons (see Wikipedia:Deletion reform). Deletion policy already covers sockpuppets and "organized campaigns" (See Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators). New users are not automatically ineligeble. It is up to the administrator to determine if a vote is made in good faith or if it is the result of a violation of WP policy. Ineligible votes do NOT invalidate the discussion on VfD, they only invalidate their own vote. Also I have don't agree that these votes "convince" anyone to vote a particular way unless the reasoning they present is convincing. And if it is convincing, it has contributed productively to the discussion. Lastly, if these votes are part of a campaign to keep "FilePile" a secret, the agents of this campaign are profoundly stupid, because what you perceive as an orchestrated campaign is clearly having the exact opposite effect.

thread_title: Improvement drive

message: Added to a link to a new page on scientific graphs, which weren't quite covered by the existing definitions. The main difference between this definition and the mathematical graphs of functions and relations is that the scientific graphs have one discrete physical quantity plotted against another, invariably on a X-Y graph. They are formed by plotting points from tables of data, rather than from functions. The original motivation for this page actually came about from the homeless scientific definition of versus. Think this page is necessary?

thread_title: September 2005

message: A few comments about this source:
I am not sure if a political movement is solely for political reasons as this article states. I think as we have seen in real events, some say that some movements stem from political ideologies but also, argue for something much more than that. Movements argue for human rights, actually.. basic human rights matter of fact. I think a lot of the edits I will be making are going to be to make the article a little bit more advanced for the society we live in today. I think as of right now, there is so much more to movements rather than just politics. 
I think my two-three areas for revision are as follows:
- Making this article seem a little less biased and fixated on the idea of "political movements are JUST for political goals."
- Second, I'd like to elaborate a little bit more on the theories. 
- Add images from Creative Commons. I think the first image that we see on the page is very uninviting and makes me wonder the validity of the article. 
Source I'd like to use:

https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.an.02.100173.000431?journalCode=anthro

Talk:Cross burning

message: A burning cross ritual that has nothing to do with the KKK has gained track in South Africa in recent decades. The cross is usually made of steel and is wrapped in cloth, and set alight at night.  A typical cross is 10 metres tall.  An example of the ritual is on an isolated beach where the cross can be seen from a great distance, or in the wilderness where there is little light pollution.  The ritual is a popular final-day event at Christian religious camps or youth conferences.  The burning is accompanied by devotion and prayer, and sometimes also an altar call, and may be preceded by a long march in the dark.  In areas with a fire hazard and where electricity is available, the burning cross may be substituted by a cross with electric lights attached to it.  I'm not sure if this ritual is also practiced elsewhere.  [kruisbrand, page 24] [page 12, attended by young children and their parents]-- leuce (talk) 08:36, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hotel Bauen

message: My POV is disgustingly evident here, and my sources don't help.  I hope someone will counter that.  One possible point of interest I haven't included is the hotel's contested ownership; this is mentioned here, but so far that's the only source I can find on it. --Echeneida
What appears as the BAUEN Hotel website is actually the website of a hotel around the corner (on Corrientes avenue) that belongs to the former boss of the BAUEN hotel recovered by its workers, which is on Callao avenue. The worker-run BAUEN does not have a website yet. - Evaristo
Hello. I wanted to let you know that a recently formed self-organized group of UBA students, which I form part of, is planning a series of social, cultural, and political activities, the goal being that of approaching the every day reality as well as the "novel" organizational structures of recovered factories/business to the regular student (and the university as a whole), with an emphasis on interviews, talks, and, well, getting to know the "real people".
I expect to gather a good deal of info with this, and try to organize it and present it to the best of my posibilities, and I think that, with this, I may contribute to this article ('cause, we intend to start with the Bauen Hotel), and moreover with the Recovered factory one. For this, I'm open to suggestions of any kind regarding the kind of info that would be most useful, so I'll have it in mind while doing the field work.
Saludos

Typewriter keyboards in the two countries were established and standardised well before somewhat arbitrary Microsoft layouts. References to these, ideally with layouts is needed here I feel.
As an aside - the inability to map your own user preferences in the MS operating system keyboard (such as a UK user living in Germany might map alt-a to a-umlaut) severely limits friendliness/functionality compared to some other operating systems (Linux).Djp (talk) 12:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Aeromexico's decision to order their planes without thrust reversers, which depends entirely on the advanced carbon brakes for stopping the aircraft.  On dry and clean runways, thrust reversers are not really necessaryand this carbon brakes are excellent. But on wet, dirty runway surfaces, the tires can lose adhesion and then the aircraft will be hard to stop or steer.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Christian fatwah

message: Modify & retain for the lexiconic value of an often, and increasingly, used phrase of potential good meaning and value.  Indeed, progressive linguistic evolution is helped, not harmed, by new "neologisms" with a firm foundation in philosophical fact, logic, or wisdom.  Surely, an encyclopedia should not eschew such entries just because they are transcendental to mathematical and scientific facts and speak well to the philosophical, theological, religious, moral, ethical, and spiritual concerns of mankind...  Richard s 8-16-05
:It's not "often" used, for one -- certainly not in any significant context.  It's a neologism, which WP has a long history of not supporting, or if you like, a slang term that lacks common acceptance.  The phrase is no more significant than "Bhuddist Imperative," a completely worthless phrase I just cranked out for fun.  Sure, "Bhuddist" and "Imperative" have "philosophical, theological, religious, moral, ethical, and spiritual" significance... but not together in an established fashion.
:If you want to write an article on such a concept, though, consider Papal decrees or the like, as they're a close approximation of the literal translation.  However, bear in mind that a major (and the official) reason for VfD is the format of the article.  Encyclopedias do not ask "what do you think?" -- they present known and documented information.
