Edge MMA wiki
IMHO, we might transwiki some of the pages we've been deleting previously to Edge MMA. It seems a tragedy to lose all the effort made, even though it appears several of us seem to agree about notability as it regards WP. I'm going to send a similar suggestion to User:LibStar. BusterD (talk) 19:11, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems like a excellent idea, if the mixed martial arts community feel they have an place they can post results that might reduce any disruption here. How do we go about it ? I am thinking we should ask USER:Moonriddengirl as she is the WP copyright guru.  Mt  king  (edits)  21:14, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Please do question Moon about this as you've suggested. There'd be some legwork to do if we got approval. Commenting in the AN/I thread today, I realized that as much as I feel some users have gamed the system in this content area, I do agree there should be some wiki-repository of such specialized knowledge. If we knew most individual event cards would be hosted there, we could make certain that promotion organizations like PRIDE and Kombat had sufficient and proportionate coverage here, with appropriate links to the extended wiki entries. For my part, I've been impressed with LibStar's determination in this matter, but now wonder if our enthusiasm to do the right thing might have had an unintended consequence to impoverish the content area. A side benefit of the proposal might be that we could move toward transwiki pages of fighting personalities of insufficient notability for WP. BusterD (talk) 22:43, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Deletion
Did you delete the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidhar (talk • contribs) 05:28, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No, if you look at Articles for deletion/University at Buffalo College of Arts & Sciences you will see what happened. Mt  king  (edits)  05:33, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

College football helmets
I don't agree with you, but you did a good job getting overwhelming consensus on the college football helmets question.--GrapedApe (talk) 01:25, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 21:54, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

RESCUETAG etc.
I understand that they redirect to a nonexistent section, but I declined them for two reasons: (1) Procedural — they are redirects to an existing page, and thus don't meet the criterion. (2) Practical — two of them are linked from the Wikipedia namespace, and who knows but that some might be linked in previous revisions of pages that have since been edited to remove those links. While the ARS page doesn't discuss the template in question, it still gives enough context to understand what's going on in general; if you've never heard of the ARS and click on the link, you'll be able to understand the situation far better than you would if I'd deleted the links. Take them to RFD if you wish, but I can't help but disagree with the idea of deletion. Nyttend (talk) 21:13, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Could you please explain more about the change advancing a political agenda meaning British must be used as opposed to English, you said that my change 'may be technically correct', so should a change not be apparent in wikipedia, if not the way i directly changed it? saariselka1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saariselka1 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You should propose your wording changes on the talk pages along with reasons and see if others agree with the change and then let someone else make the change if it is agreed to, it looks like you may have an agenda, and given the history of editing on the articles this is the reason for my revert.

+tag
Post your +tag on the talk page where is belongs, not on the main article page! JunoBeach (talk) 21:52, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * no it is an article tag. Mt  king  (edits)  21:55, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * no it is a talk page +tag JunoBeach (talk) 21:56, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Read the tag it says "A major contributor to this article appears" - it goes on the article to alert readers of the issue. Mt  king  (edits)


 * Yeah right, Mr. Admin wannabe :) JunoBeach (talk) 22:00, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Action of 25 January 2012
The person that moved it to January 2012 United States Navy SEAL Somali raid did not discuss it on the talk page, though i already have. He also failed to create a disambiguation page which caused redlinks to pop up in other articles and the ITN nomination page for this article. I personally think that it should be  Raid on (insert town name here) but since the location of the raid is not yet known i used Action of 25 January 2012 as a filler title which is acceptable under wiki:Military history standards. The article name Lihaas moved it to sounds amatureish and is incorrect since there were more forces involved beyond the navy seals.XavierGreen (talk) 01:42, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

University at Buffalo Libraries copyvio
See, for instance: here and, at the university's HR page. You'll see a number of sentences and paragraphs that seem to have been lifted straight off it in the copyvio version. Neutralitytalk 08:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

A notification that the Templates for Discussion discussion (oy, repetition) has been taken to a deletion review discussion. The Article Rescue Squadron was notified, and as notifications to previous involved parties isn't normal practise, I and a few ARS members agreed that, in the interests of transparency and fairness, we should let everyone know...hence this talkpage message ;).

If anyone has an issue with me sending these out, do drop me a note on my talkpage. Regards, Ironholds (talk) 10:23, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
