Hello Joshua Z, this is Marksdaman. The reason I redirected Kip Kinkel to [[Thurston High School shooting]] was because the article on the shooting gives information on the shooting and the background of Kip Kinkel, I just didn't think you'd need two pages about the shooting. Thats why I think we should leave the Kip Kinkel article redirect to the Thurston High School shooting. Thank you, and please respond [[User:Marksdaman|Marksdaman]] [[User talk:Marksdaman|My talk]] 19:36, 17 March 2009 |

==Debatus again== |
|||
Joshua, when we talked last, you recommended looking into Meatball wiki. I did so, and pursued some avenues there, but nobody has responded to my questions. Do you have any additional suggestions for bringing awareness of Debatus to the wiki community. Are there any avenues within Wikipedia that can be taken? You'd mentioned that I should tap into the Georgetown Wikipedian community. How would one go about doing that? [[User:Loudsirens|Loudsirens]] 20:22, 1 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
== RE: Protection == |
|||
: Well, a search through user space for Wikipedians who Georgetown affiliations might help. A quick search turned up three active editors: [[User:Arcimpulse]], [[User:Postdlf]], [[User:AppleRaven]]. They may be willing to help out or knwo of more people. Beyond that I can't think of anything. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 20:29, 1 November 2006 (UTC) |

I haven't really watched [[Wikipedia talk:Places of local interest]]. Does it really reflect consensus? Does it supplant the Schools discussion? |

: To the first matter - I'm not sure it reflects the prevailing consensus in that it didn't seemed to be advertised very heavily on the normal policy locations (especially the village pump) before it was marked as a guideline. Furthermore, a glance at any days AfDs will show that the guideline is more often ignored than anything else. I am in fact tempted to unmark it but will refrain from doing so for now. As to the second issue, given that schools have had a separate discussion, I'm not sure whether it would supplant it. My instincts would say no simply because we have a lot of school interested editors who seem to view that as arguably separate from general local concerns.

::Again I confess to not having studied it carefully. And am probably not going to... but each passing day the consensus tag is there adds credibility to its claim that it reflects consensus. Maybe.. I duno rather than removing the tag, it should be straw polled again, or removed pending advertising the debate somewhere... I dunno... but I have tests Monday and Tuesday and have already spent too much time on Wikipedia. ;-) --[[User:Ling.Nut|Ling.Nut]] 21:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC) |

== Daniel Brandt article == |
|||
As you can see from my history I only recently started adding or editing on Wikipedia. From what I've read it appears that you have a great deal of experience. I hope that this is the proper way of contacting you about the Brandt article. |
|||
I have two questions: |
|||
1) Although Brandt's website is on the "blacklist," I noticed that there are already links to his site in his biography. Would it be more appropriate to find a way to include the links rather than the asterisks that I used to replace his URL? |
|||
2) His biography has a theme showing his "criticisms." Based on his comment posted on Slashdot should a new heading be created titled "Criticism of Slashdot?" |
|||
Thanks, |
|||
- Drew |
|||
Thanks for taking the time to discuss wiki policies with me. My point is that the article was already making value judgements because it said that Jayson Blair "fabricatesd" (i.e. intentionally falsified) news stories. I'm not sure how saying he conned people is any more POV (your points about redundancy however were valid). As for assuming good faith; I agree its counter productive to discuss personal agendas, as it just makes users defensive. [[User:Timelist|Timelist]] 03:28, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
Well there are independent sources that say he conned the NY Times, but I see your point: "Conned" sounds more negative, and we should only report such judgements in the form of directly cited quotes, not statements of facts. [[User:Timelist|Timelist]] 03:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |

You said: |

''I strongly suggest you change your username per WP:USERNAME which forbids inflammatory usernames. JoshuaZ 07:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)'' |
|||
May I ask what's inflammatory about my real name and year of birth? [[User:Drew88|Drew88]] 07:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:I don't get it. 88 stands for [[88]]? I was indeed born in 1988 and I'm 18 years old. How is the number 88 related to my topic of preference (whatever my topic of preference is)? [[User:Drew88|Drew88]] 07:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
::This is merely a theory, but some people might mistake the 88 part for a racist acronym 'HH', which stands for 'Heil Hitler' [http://www.adl.org/hate_symbols/numbers_88.asp ADL.org page: 88]. Keep in mind any racist symbology in a username is a good indication of a vandal-only account, which may explain the mistaken trigger-happy warnings. I'm sorry you caught the flak you did, but I hope you don't let it slow you down in your editing Wikipedia. [[User:E. Sn0 =31337=|E. Sn0 =31337=]] 07:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |

==Your message== |

I'm sure KC doesn't require knights to come to her aid. Regards [[User:Arniep|Arniep]] 18:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:Sorry, look, KC completely unreasonably threatened to block me for marking an account as a sockpuppet when it has been agreed that the person in question was part of a campaign to place false information in Wikipedia to promote an obscure actor and the student film he was appearing in. I had put a large amount of time in researching this and putting a stop to it and the fact that KC just jumped in threatening to block me and accusing me of harrassing one of the very people involved in it without even talking to me was completely unacceptable. She previously had followed me to an obscure page which she had never edited and proceeded to take completely the opposite side straight after a previous dispute. It is therefore completely unfair to say that I have no reason to suspect ill will when she posted a message asking me to archive my page when she has shown such hostility to me in the past. [[User:Arniep|Arniep]] 18:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
::Nonsense. I never said I would block you for marking a proven sock as a sock. I told you quite clearly that if you continued harassing the editor, who came to me for assistance, then I would block you for harassment. You edit warred over adding that sock template, and although told twice to do so, never requested a checkuser. That wasn't "agreed upon" nor was the editor in question making inappropriate edits. This has all been covered already.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:KillerChihuahua#Being_Stalked_by_User] Secondly, I never "followed you" anywhere.

The problem seems to be that no matter how many times I try to explain it, he's adament in insisting that removing the POV templates is vandalism, and as far as I can tell simply won't change his mind no matter what :/. I've told him that sure, people aren't supposed to remove the templates when you've actually brought up a dispute, (And he has, and i've supported him somewhat) but even when I show him precisely the line which proves that removing the templates isn't vandalism, he just won't believe me.

Classifying, for example, as "non theistic" critics of creationism whose argumentation is grounded explicitly in refusal of any supernatural explanation of the world's origins. This position, by definition, is atheistic, e.g. from the latin ''a-'' (meaning "non, absent") and ''-theus'' (meaning "god"). The Wikipedia article on Creationism explicitly presents these critics as "neutral" while the creationists are presented as "ideologically wrong". Truth is, all groups debating on any issue are political actors with a partisan perspective (cf. [[Public Choice]]). I therefore attempted to hypocrisy of the "non-theistic" word, while Webster's dictionary confirms the proper term for critics of theism is either "atheists" or at best "atheists and agnostics". The wider definition of theism should not be confused with monotheism, for it encompasses panentheism, pantheism, henotheism and polytheism. |

"Non theistic" simply is a nonexistent word in theology. It's a dishonest and falsely neutral front for the word "atheism", in a similar fashion than the terms "non-liberal", "non-people", "non-polluters" or "non-extremists"are improper English and strongly loaded terms. |

I thereby invite JoshuaZ to reconsider that the current perspective about the Creationism articles is not NPOV at all. So it happens, that the Creationism article, among many articles, features a strongly anti-conservative bias and is scornful of Creationism, portraying them as kooks. Readers of a Wikipedia article on politics should not find an article biased in favour of a Left-wing or a Right-wing perspective. |

2) The class war featured in the movie ZARDOZ is indeed a reflection of Marxist class conflict: Marx himself is quoted in the scene of Zed's (S. Connery) hypnotic education. Making comparisons to Jack Vance's ETERNAL LIFE (an allegeded Libertarian and certainly not a Marxist) is likewise. |

3) While I understand that many if not most of Wikipedia's administrators embrace a liberal worldview, due to Internet demographics notably, it should be understood that NPOV is not "Left-POV" but "objective POV". |
|||
We will include a look at the organization and planning for our chapter, and expanding volunteer roles for both regular Wikipedia editors and new participants. |
|||
I do not hide that I support a centre-of-right perspective, but I challenge the fact that the articles on Creationism, among many others, present a NPOV. The perspective in which they are presented would insult any Creationist. This trend of "my [urbanite liberal] worldview is NPOV", is unfortunately the greatest challenge to Wikipedia's quality. The debate is not new, of course. |
|||
We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming [[edit-a-thon]]s, museum and library projects, education initiatives, and other outreach activities. |
|||
My opinion is that, to enforce its NPOV policy, Wikipedia should create a committee composed of four equal groups of members to force a consensus over controversies: 25% of Radical Left, 25% of Centre-Left, 25% of Centre-Right, 25% of Radical Right. Thus would partisan tendencies be controlled, not criticised only when they challenge the majority opinion of Wikipedia administrators who inevitably come to share a single worldview by virtue of their association and their similar demographics, at the risk of definiting it as NPOV. |
|||
We welcome the participation of our friends from the [[Free culture movement|Free Culture]] movement and from all educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. |
|||
I have no intention of debating further the topic. I simply deplore the fact that many of Wikipedia's less popular topics share a marked ideological bias. The simple fact that the article "Liberal bias" was destroyed to be merged with "Media bias" is a political choice from Wiki administrators to drown the political accusations of bias by the Right against the Left (easily accounting for over 90% of such accusations as reported in the media, i.e. into a vaguer concept). Is this accusation right? Depends on one's perspective. But the sociological concept does exist; the same could be said of the term "Race", that is without grounds in genetics, but applies daily in American politics and deserves its own articles. |
|||
After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video games in the gallery! |
|||
The question must be asked: Speaking of Wikipedia NPV, who's NPV exactly are we speaking of? Neutral ideology does not exist. Everyone writing on a subject has an interest, by definition, and an opinion on this subject. Neutral articles simply present various sides on a issue in the way their supporters would present them, along with criticism in the way their critics would present them. |

I don't see it as a personal attack on Kappa. He's entitled to believe what he believes in, and I happen to think his beliefs and actions are harmful to Wikipedia, and so I act to counteract them, within reason. More to the point, your analogy is troubling. "To use an analogy, just because there is a serial killer who kills lots of people doesn't mean if he kills somone that that kill was necessarily immoral". Killing someone is the final, unalterable action that should only be utilized when there are no other alternatives. If Inclusionists were more like [[Spawn Man]] then I could see where they are coming from. But when your only rationale for constantly voting keep -- even to the point of vote-stacking and other illegal activities -- is that you think everything belongs, then the rationale is flawed. --<font style="background:black">[[User:Elaragirl|<font color="LightSteelBlue">Shrieking Harpy</font>]] [[Image:Gay_flag.svg|17px]]</font><sup>[[User_Talk:Elaragirl|Talk]]</sup><sup>|</sup><sup>[[User:Elaragirl/EditCount|Count]]</sup> 16:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC) |

Joshua, just for your information (so you won't miss it), I rolled back an edit from HercuIean.[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:JoshuaZ&diff=prev&oldid=87048015] Other edits from the same user seem to be abuse[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sugaar&diff=prev&oldid=87045841] or vandalism[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Personal_attack_intervention_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=87044434] The account was created just an hour ago, and seems to have jumped right into an existing dispute. I would have blocked, but another admin got there first. (It's just ''possible'' that the edit on your talk page may not have been intended as vandalism. There is a software bug that occasionally causes an editor to unintentionally delete a previous editor's edit while adding his own.) Cheers.

==[[Cedarhurst, New York]]== |

Only a part of this issue could be finessed by identifying the percentage of the population that are orthodox Jews. The user's main issue is not a mention about the Orthodox population in the village, but the presence of a category identifying it as an Orthodox Jewish Community, which he feels is misleading, because there are other ethnic and religious communities in Cedarhurst. I have tries to find a source for the Orthodox population, but this data is not tracked by the Census Bureau, and available estimates are for the general Five Towns area, not for any one community. I lived for two decades a block away from Cedarhurst. How on earth did you end up in Cedarhurst???? [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] 18:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
And I have lived two decades IN Cedarhurst so I know it should not be labelled as an Orthodox Jewish community. Are that alot of Jews in Cedarhurst? Yes. But to label it as such is sort of insulting for the rest of the people living there. [[User:Helical Rift|Helical Rift]] |

WTF? That is the very purpose of talk pages, to give an opportunity for quick and easy dispute resolution between parties without having to make a big deal out of everything. If DRVs are necessary in these cases, I will file them, but until then, I prefer to start by addressing concerns in the traditional and appropriate fashion: by posting notices on the user talk pages of those I have a concern with.

Thank you for your comments. In regards to what you have said, I have a question. This may be streching things, but do you think that Wikitruth and other like anti-Wikipedia groups are responible for some of the vandalism in Wikipedia. I realize that a portion of the vandals are kids just messing things up becuase they are kids. However, I wonder if groups like Wikiruth encourage or perhaps incites some degree of vandalism? What do you think? |

==Perspective== |
|||
I have gone out of my way to avoid editing entries on myself and my employer and the groups to which I belong. Rarely, I correct errors and false statements; usually after I ask for a discussion. The NLG was founded as a "progressive" bar association. It is the word that was used at the time of the founding. It is a word that has a specific meaning. Those who say the word is not accurate or misleading have a POV based on ignorance of history and language. There is a national monthly magazine called the "Progressive." I write for it. The NLG is "Progressive." I am a "Progressive." If people are ignorant of the term, they should go to a library and read a dictionary definition. People who object to it here on Wikipedia need to get a life. Maybe they could go see a movie. Take a walk in the forest. My wife and I walked in the woods behind our house today. Very relaxing. If you have nothing better to do than to chase after me on Wikipedia and warn me that suggesting abject ignorance of basic words is not a matter that should attract the attention of sensible Wikipedia editors, or is a personal attack that requires your specious and unwanted input, then you perhaps would benefit from seeing two movies; or taking two walks in the woods. So when I tell you that you also need to get a life, please put these words in perspective.--[[User:Cberlet|Cberlet]] 04:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC) |

:See, I don't understand what's so contreversial about adding infoboxes. And as to the page about Jim Webb, to what are you refering when you said I deleted something? At one point, I had changed his religion to Presbyterian and had changed the link that provides proof of his denomination. However, after it was changed back, I reread my source and saw that it was flawed (it had Allen's info under Webb's and vice versa). After looking at a congressional website, I verified that Webb is officially listed as 'nondenominational protestant', and I changed it accordingly. I deleted nothing from this page, so please do no assert that I did. I don't know why my adding of infoboxes is stirring up so much trouble. All I'm trying to do is provide for organization. After all, before I started make this my little project, some of the pages of the congressmen were awful. I'm hoping that this is cleared off and that Mr. Stealthound will lay off my case. Again, these 700 edits are because I added infoboxes or made little changes to the boxes of every senator and representative. Think about it. If I changed just one mispelling or something of that nature in each Congressman's page, that would be 535 edits right there. Sorry that I removed the other content before from your page. I'm just frustrated that Mr. Hound feels it's best to criticize behind me back instead of discussing things civilly.[[User:VitaleBaby|VitaleBaby]] 01:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC) |

:In general, there does not seem to be a definite format for how names are presented in infoboxes. When there are used at the beginning of an article, I always make sure the person's full name and any nicknames are presented. However, when I started editing these pages there was not real consistancy in terms of the names that are seen in the boxes. Sometimes full names would be presented, other times common nicknames. I am currently trying to make for uniformity among naming. Originally I had full names on all of the politican's boxes (such as John Patrick Murtha, Jr.), but people began complaining so started to use common names in boxes instead (John Murtha). Either way, I'm taking heat, and its hard to get people to agree. An by the way, the Webb comment is from a user who didn't sign, so that presents a little problem.[[User:VitaleBaby|VitaleBaby]] 01:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC) |

I understand that you must be against anything which shows signs of sympathy towards Nazism, and rightly so. However, I don't think you can prove to me beyond reasonable doubt that the 88 in Drew88 means HH. You are right to suspect this, and although it is a well-based suspicion, it is still a suspicion. For all you know, his intentions in his username may have been innocent. And anyhow, the 88 isn't insulting anybody. How many people even know about the connection. |
|||
There just aren't enough grounds to suggest a change of username IMHO. |

Thanks for the link. I know that I am bias to my own point of view, but I thought with the way that the comments were heading and the agruments on either side it would come down to "no consenses."

== Your recent block was a violation of wikipedia policy and an abuse of sysop privileges. == |
|||
You recently blocked me from editing without warning or valid reason from editing on Wikipedia, for making a good-faith edit to a contrivertial discussion. The given reason was "if an admin wishes to reinstate it will be reinstated", however I was under the impression that any user in good faith should act as an administrator. From [[Wikipedia:Administrators]]: "In the very early days of Wikipedia, all users functioned as administrators, and in principle they still should. Any user can behave in a way befitting an administrator (provided they do not falsely claim to be one), even if they have not been given the extra administrative functions." |
|||
This also appears to violate the wikipedia blocking policy [[WP:BP]]: "Blocking to gain an advantage in a content dispute is strictly prohibited. Sysops must not block editors with whom they are currently engaged in a content dispute. If in doubt, report the problem to other admins to act on. (You may be wrong!)" I reverted your closure of a deletion review in good faith because he did so without posting any valid reason for deleting the entire discussion. The only things he DID reference were WP:SNOW (which isn't policiy and doesn't apply to the situation) and WP:Ignore All Rules (which hardly stands as valid authority for such a large and broad edit). If you disagreed with me, as a matter of policy you were disallowed from blocking me. Instead, wikipedia policy calls for you to bring the matter to a disinterested third-party administrator. The reason of this is exactly to prevent the kind of abuses you demonstrated. |
|||
You probably didn't read my contribution to the discussion: |
|||
*'''Overturn Deletion''' and restore deletion review. I have restored the original discussion of the deletion review as it was incorrectly closed. If you wish to discuss the deletion of the deletion review, please do so in the next section below. The deletion review was closed under [[WP:SNOW]] which is not wikipedia policy nor does it apply to this discussion. This is an active discussion with many different sides and viewpoints. While everyone has their opinion, it is impossible for anyone at this juncture whether the deletion will be overturned or not. May I make a personal request to please keep the discussion focused on the article in question, and on making improvements and citations in order to prove that the article meets all necessary wikipedia standards for inclusion. Remember everyone, in the end our goal is to improve the quality of the encyclopedia. That’s why we’re all here, and that’s what this deletion review is for. |

: I stand by my decision to close. [[WP:NOT|Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy]] and we are not going to blindly follow process simply to make some people from some forum feel good about themselves. Furthermore, the notion that because somehow at one point everyone functioned as an admin somehow allows you to act as one is ridiculous especially when multiple admins have determined that the discussion was unproductive and disruptive. My block was in retrospect not yet necessary in that a single restoration was most likely not bad enough to require a block. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 15:25, 16 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:: I am not disputing your decision to close here. My point is that what resulted was a content dispute: wherein you thought one thing, I thought another. I'm also not interested in the fact that at one pont everyone functioned with the technical rights as sysops, however I am very interested in the fact that "in principle they still should." That's how I conduct myself and I believe that's consistant with the nature of wikipedia. I believe you have a very serious misunderstanding of the functioning of wikipedia if you say it's ridiculous for me to assume I can act in the role of an administrator. That's 100%, exactly verbatim what [[WP:ADMIN]] says. Since you are someone who has been granted sysop priviliges, I would feel much more comfortable if you were famillier with your role as an administrator WRT the rest of the community (ie. you SHOULD simply be a regular member of the community, with added controls to help you further develop wikipedia). Your violation of the blocking policy and raising yourself and other administrators to a pedestal demonstrates you either have not read either policy, did not understand them, or consciously chose to ignore them.

::: I'm aware of what the policy and guidelines say thank. However, I don't see this as a content dispute- to be blunt I see this as an anon most likely coming from a forum which has attempted to spam Wikipedia and endorsed death threats against Wikipedia editors in good standing coming through and reverting a decision that continued discussion was disruptive. That's not a content dispute, that's preventing further disruption. In so far as that, blocking you would be within procedure. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 16:13, 16 November 2006 (UTC) |

:::: Hi, I am glad you have read the policies. For your reference they are [[WP:ADMIN]] and [[WP:BP]], please re-read them as you must have either not understood them or consciously chose to ignore them. I disagree with your analysis that this was not a content dispute, that's exactly what it was. You felt you were justified in removing dozens of comments from an active discussion, I felt wikipedia was better served WITH the comments. From [[WP:BP]] in that situation you are EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED from issuing a block, and instead MUST speak with a neutral third-party to evaluate and block if he or she deems appropriate. Even if you incorrectly felt justified in your block, this should have then been considered a controversial block under the condition “blocks that, while possibly wise, lack policy basis.” You did not, and if you disagree I challenge you now to post a relevant policy giving authority to your decision. In cases of controversial blocks there is an eight step procedure you are to take, and as far as I can tell you didn’t take a single one of the eight. |
|||
:::: Moving on, you completely disregarded my comments about your misunderstanding of the very nature of wikipedia administrators, [[WP:ADMIN]]. Please tell me how I am not justified, as a wikipedian and fellow editor, to take action in good faith where I see it needed? Please justify your earlier statement “the notion that because somehow at one point everyone functioned as an admin somehow allows you to act as one is ridiculous” because from what I can tell, you MUSTNT have read [[WP:ADMIN]] recently as that is a DIRECT contradiction to what you have said. |

As far as I can tell you are a disruptive individual coming from another forum to attempt to spam your material onto Wikipedia. Now, maybe I'm coloring all the new users and anons who got involved in the GenMay discussion with too broad a brush, but that's what it looks like. In so far as that, I wasn't blocking an editor who I was in a content dispute with - stopping further disruption isn't a content dispute. Similarly, that section of [[WP:ADMIN]] simply doesn't apply to you in so far as [[WP:SOCK]] makes clear that single use account or single purpose anons are not considered community members.

...Agreeing with what Shimeru said above and an additional point. Alan, the first thing you did on the talk page for [[WP:SCHOOLS3]] was make your suggestion for a "rumble" and haven't gone much beyond that aside from continuing to edit that section (a total of 4 comments in that section two related to your rumble suggestion). Instead of engaging in [[WP:POINTS]] like demaning face-offs and making [[WP:SCHOOLS4]] it might help if you would actually discuss the issues.

:I think that if you take a look at the [[WP:SCHOOLS3]] talk page, you'll see several constructive comments I have added regarding the current version of the pseudo-proposal. Take a look at today's discussion I kicked off at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Schools3#Excessive narrowing in Criterion 1 of the "multiple non-trivial published works" standard]] for an example of some critical issues I have with the current version of the proposal, which seems to be headed for an exclusivist definition of what the "multiple non-trivial published works" standard means that goes way too far beyond any reasonable interpretation of that standard listed in [[WP:N]], and as described in detail at [[WP:CORP]] and [[WP:BIO]], Wikipedia's gold-standard guidelines for notability. I fail to see why going off on you own to create an arbitrary guideline is not a violation of [[WP:POINT]], when consensus is far closer on [[WP:SCHOOL]] and [[WP:SCHOOL3]] is being crafted by the most extreme deletionist element and has no prayer of achieving consensus. Working on an entirely unrealistic guideline is no more productive than creating an equally unrealistic standard that says all schools are notable. The current guideline proposed in [[WP:SCHOOLS3]] is a dead end; [[WP:SCHOOL]] is just short of consensus. Let's work on pushing [[WP:SCHOOL]] over the top, and stop convincing yourselves that [[WP:SCHOOL3]] will ever get anywhere, certainly not in its current form. When was your last suggestion at [[WP:SCHOOL]]? [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] 23:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC) |

:: Alan, it would be mildly appreciated if you would keep conversations in one location and not keep moving replies around. That said, I referred to the fact that the first edits you made to the talk page were trollish and/or pointish. Your subsequent comments seem much better than the earlier ones. As to the criterion 1 issue, as already discussed, schools are far more likely to get local coverage and therefore coverage in local newspapers is less of an argument for notability. Furthermore, local coverage of schools is very rarely fact checked so almost all local coverage by default fails at being [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. As also already discussed, to some extent this is a formalization of what is already true at [[WP:CORP]]- puff pieces and government inspection reports are not enough for criterion 1 of [[WP:CORP]]. Similarly for [[WP:BIO]] - if two different local newspapers had little cute articles about a local kid running a charity drive we wouldn't say that met [[WP:BIO]]. As for the claim that [[WP:SCHOOLS]] is closer to achieving consensus than [[WP:SCHOOLS3]] this may be just me coming from a less inclusionist perspective than you but it looks to me like [[WP:SCHOOLS3]] is closer to what most editors are in favor of (although would agree that neither one is close to achieving consensus. At some point people need to agree to compromise and very few people seem to do that). As to your claim that "working on an entirely unrealistic guideline is no more productive than creating an equally unrealistic standard that says all schools are notable" given that many people seem to think that it has some chance of working (and if you think it doesn't I don't know why you've bothered to make suggested changes there) and given that by your own admission [[WP:SCHOOLS4]] was created to make a [[WP:POINT|point]] on a single AfD it seems obvious to me which has more of a chance at being productive. As to your final inquiry- I've made many comments and suggestions at [[WP:SCHOOLS]], none of which were listened to almost all. In fact, part of the logic of creating [[WP:SCHOOLS3]] was that multiple inclusionist editors had complained that the less inclusionist editors had not made any proposal, hence I made what I thought was a somewhat reasonable proposal that was slightly more inclusive than I would have prefered. I then asked for comments on the Village Pump and on [[WP:SCHOOLS]] and got almost no comments from inclusionists. The notion that this was somehow similar to creating a temporary guideline so you could cite in a single AfD is ridiculous. Now, can we please go back to discussing the proposed guideline?

Kip Kinkel
[edit]Hello Joshua Z, this is Marksdaman. The reason I redirected Kip Kinkel to Thurston High School shooting was because the article on the shooting gives information on the shooting and the background of Kip Kinkel, I just didn't think you'd need two pages about the shooting. Thats why I think we should leave the Kip Kinkel article redirect to the Thurston High School shooting. Thank you, and please respond Marksdaman My talk 19:36, 17 March 2009
