"U.S. presidential elections"
Hi, As I see there are several editors who work on the articles about "the U.S. presidential elections". I wanted to join but I couldn't find any wikiproject or task force relates to this issue. I propose making at least a task force in WikiProject United States. Please answer to this comment here-- Seyyed(t-c) 10:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Ron Paul presidential campaign, 2008
Think maybe you have some spare cycles to look at this page? Couple things:


 * There may actually be more RP skeptics than supporters editing it now
 * We're editing it pretty aggressively to cut down on redundancy and size. For instance, by the end of the week, I'm going to try to get the "debates" section down to 3 grafs, plus a subsection on the SC debate with Rudy.
 * We're talking about merging stuff around into the "splinter" articles (for instance, moving Moneybomb coverage into Moneybomb

I'm pretty strongly anti-Paul, and I feel better about my edits when I know the opposing argument isn't giving me an inch, if that makes sense. =)

Lots of stuff on Talk:Ron Paul presidential campaign, 2008

Speedy deletion of Christine Smith (activist)
A tag has been placed on Christine Smith (activist), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Burzmali (talk) 20:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:V discussion: exceptional claims
I have read your comment. Before posting a reply, however, I think that it's important to sort out how to organize the discussion. In my view, every comment on the post that initiates the discussion (i.e. my post in this case), should be moved to a new subsection, or appended to an existing subsection, and I hope that you agree. As for the substance of the discussion, I really think we should try to keep the matter as simple as possible.

I agree with you on many issues you raised, but this discussion will lead nowhere if we start it 5 steps ahead of where the established policy is. From a standpoint of logic, the issue I raised is way down in the chain of cumulative inconsistencies that are, in praxi, often harmless. I therefore will stick to my model in which each statement contains only one claim, even if this is technically wrong (If absolutely necessary, i will distinguish between main claims and additional claims.)

I also think that a discussion on the talk page, for technical reasons, cannot be a scientific discussion in a strict sense, as you cannot put a working paper on the talk page. I therefore will focus, for now, on solving the practical issues at hand. We can continue to discuss details here, or on my talk page, if you like. I'll set up a discussion section there. --Cs32en (talk) 00:48, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:HR 1207 TEA advocacy sign.JPG)
 Thanks for uploading File:HR 1207 TEA advocacy sign.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 21:50, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation
In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.

Hello. As a participant in Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that.

Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Claritas § 21:29, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
