Hi,
You might try asking [[User:Akamad|Akamad]] if he looked at the page while it was modified. I suspect that the person only changed the page temporarily to give permission. If a person is able to make such a modification to the website the material comes from, it makes it more likely that they really have permission to use it. I've seen this done before and I don't think the notice has to stay on there indefinitely. Someone at [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] might be able to help. If no one responds there, you can try the Village Pump. -- [[User:Kjkolb|Kjkolb]] 11:12, 11 April 2006 (UTC)


So I noticed a sentence in the "radical center" wiki with no citation.


The definitive history of "Centrism" in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}, is [[John Avlon]]'s ''Independent Nation'' (2004, pbk. 2005).
== Maltese Registration Plates ==


I was unaware that sales figures were kept for "radical centrist" publications, so I did some searching for a top 10 list of radical centrists books by various years (2009, 2008, 2007 etc..). Unfortunately, I was unable to find such a list.
Hey there. You made a small good when you entered the text for [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maltese Registration Plates]]. You have to type {<code></code>{subst:afd2|pg=page_name|text=your reason}} rather than just the reason by itself.

So, I removed the sentence. Then I went to John Avlon's wiki to remove the following sentence, which cites as its source the sentence in the "radical center" wiki that has no citation!

Independent Nation has been called, "the definitive history of 'Centrism' in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date."

Unfortunately, I'm a newbie so I can't change the page. I imagine there were some "angry" edits made in the past few months which is why the page is protected. Nevertheless, the above sentence strikes me as pure unsupported marketing which shouldn't have a place on a factual bio page.

Cheers!

A tag has been placed on [[:Template:Afc b]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#T3|section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]] because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Template:Afc b|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

John Avlon marketing his book.

[edit]

Hi,

So I noticed a sentence in the "radical center" wiki with no citation.

The definitive history of "Centrism" in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date[citation needed], is John Avlon's Independent Nation (2004, pbk. 2005).

I was unaware that sales figures were kept for "radical centrist" publications, so I did some searching for a top 10 list of radical centrists books by various years (2009, 2008, 2007 etc..). Unfortunately, I was unable to find such a list.

So, I removed the sentence. Then I went to John Avlon's wiki to remove the following sentence, which cites as its source the sentence in the "radical center" wiki that has no citation!

Independent Nation has been called, "the definitive history of 'Centrism' in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date."

Unfortunately, I'm a newbie so I can't change the page. I imagine there were some "angry" edits made in the past few months which is why the page is protected. Nevertheless, the above sentence strikes me as pure unsupported marketing which shouldn't have a place on a factual bio page.
