User talk:Dmoss/Wikicite2

Page beginning
Alright, I am satisfied with this page being a good beginning. Prior my making it a stand-alone page, it only redirected to User:Dmoss/Wikicite. Please join in to improve this page as fitting. CyberAnth 07:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Move
In my opinion, as of now, this article doesn't fufill WP:SOFTWARE, and currently has no punblished sources other than by the author. I was going to AfD it, but saw no real point; this would be better suited, like VandalProof and MWT etc, to be located in a userspace with a redirect link, like WP:WIKICITE, leading to the userspace page.

 * I agree, it certainly doesn't deserve an article, reformat it like VP's page, showing that it is a tool, how to use it, and such. ST47 Talk 11:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)


 * LOL. Battle of the AfD's! All ya'll battle it out and I will follow the page wherever it winds up. :-) CyberAnth 14:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Neutral, leaning to keep
I am the author of Wikicite. I really don't care if it has a page in mainspace or not, so long as people can find it. User:CyberAnth recently put a redirect from Wikicite to User:Dmoss/Wikicite in mainspace similar to the Vandalproof redirect, but someone AfD'd it within days. The difference between a redirect in mainspace and an article in mainspace is semantic really. Convention discourages people editing an article in someone else's userspace though, and I'd prefer it if other people helped to improve the article. For that reason I lean more toward mainspace, but its really not that important where it sits at the end of the day. A browse through User_talk:Dmoss/Wikicite will soon reveal that people are very enthusiastic once they find and use this program, but despair that it took them so long to find it. Either a redirect, or an article in mainspace addresses this issue. I'd support either option. --Dave 12:58, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem with people not editing userspace pages can easily be solved by putting a template at the top of the page encouraging people to edit (and since it's more of a homepage for a program rather than a conventional user subpage, people would be likely to edit it anyway, look at the history of User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof.) The mainspace is for things that are actually part of the encyclopaedia, and while this program is great, it isn't notable enough for an article. --Rory096 17:23, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
