Conversation about deleting a category
There is a conversation going on right now about the deletion of a category -- the Association of Theological Schools accreditation. I would like to contribute to this discussion, but everything I see seems to be archival (i.e., there's usually a notice that says "please don't edit this" or some such). Where can I find the ongoing discussion about this topic -- as someone who has working in theological schools and with accrediting bodies, I feel I could contribute to the conversation. k+ —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrKurtMessick (talk • contribs) 02:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Cyber Team Page?
Hello,

I'm trying to make a wikipedia page about a Professional video gaming team (Fatal Kill). I've seen that there is a couple other teams that have pages, yet when I try to make one for the team of Fatal Kill, it gets deleted right away, but why aren't the other ones deleted?

Please help me out. Am I suppose to put in certain content to make it "okay"?

 * You mention other teams having Wikipedia articles. Take a look at those pages to see what they have, how they establish the team's notability, the encyclopedic tone and neutral point of view, and so on.  I notice you have already made a start at Fatal Kill, but it might be beneficial to instead start off developing the article on a subpage of your user page.  If you are unsure how to do this, my own user page has a "sandbox" subpage, so take a look there to see what I did.  Astronaut (talk) 11:58, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Also see Other stuff exists. --Teratornis (talk) 15:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Look at this deletion log. The edit summaries give the reasons why the page was deleted.  The last time, it was because the page was almost empty.  Other times, it did not assert notability.  The article would have to say why that team is important enough to have a Wikipedia article about it.  (For example, an article might start with something like "... is an internationally-recognized ..." or "... which has won international tournaments..." or  "... is the only ..." or "... was the first..." or something.) Wikipedia doesn't have articles about everything.
 * If the team is not important enough to have an article, maybe it could still be a section of another page in some logical way, such as a section of a page about the game, or possibly the articles for the other teams could be merged into one big article with sections about different teams.
 * If you like, you can create the article in your userspace first and ask me (and/or others) to look at it. For example, call it User:Inferno363/Fatal Kill.  Then it won't be part of the encyclopedia yet and probably won't be deleted from there. After you improve it for a while, then you can move it into the mainspace (encyclopedia) section.  However, if the team isn't very important or doesn't have enough material published about it and stuff, the article may still be deleted anyway.  It helps if you can find references, e.g. newspaper articles or any other publications that talk about the team. --Coppertwig (talk) 17:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * As to why your article got deleted and other ones are still there, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Articles avoid deletion either because (a) they actually conform to policy, or (b) they slipped under the radar. If (a), then you need to bring your article up to an equally non-deletable standard, as explained above, but if (b), then you may want to consider putting the other article through the deletion process.

Creating a Wikipedia Page
Hey, I'm just making up a wikipedia page for the band The Tom Fun Orchestra and I'm wondering a few things.. ..

```I was wondering how to put an artist section in it just like (Slowcoaster) has in their page.

I'd also like to know how to turn text into links for a website. Sorry if these questions are too generic or could have been answered in the FAQ's I was searching it and couldn't find the information I needed

Thanks so much

As for turning text into links, try here external links.  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 16:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you mean by the artist section: do you mean the box with a picture and list of information?  That's called a template.  See Template:Infobox musical artist.  If you click "edit" on the Slowcoaster page, not to change it but just to look, you'll see a part that begins  .  That's what makes that box.  You can copy and paste the part in the "code" section at Template:Infobox musical artist into the article you're creating, and fill in some of the information.  You can look for a picture of the artist at Wikimedia Commons, and if you find one, just put the name of the image after img= in the infobox and it will display.


 * To make a link to another Wikipedia page, just put double square brackets around the words, like this . For a link to a page somewhere else on the web, use single square brackets around the URL (web address), like this:  or to make it display as some text, just put a single blank space after the URL, then the text you want to display, inside the square brackets.  some text  Note that this format only works for the single square brackets.

 * Title Blacklist
 * SpamBlacklist
 * The questioner might have seen a message from one of those and interpreted it as a blacklist against the user.

Making additions to articles
Hello,

I posted a theory about vampirism on the vampires talk page, but I can't find a way of doing that on the main article's page. Are we not meant to add to that, and are the talk pages the only areas we can edit?

DanceofIllusions maj (talk) 20:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The Vampire article displays a little image of a padlock in the upper right corner (which comes from the pp-semi-protected template in the article). That means the article is semi-protected, so you have to wait until your account is five days old before you can edit the article. --Teratornis (talk) 20:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Be aware that your contributions at Talk:Vampire appear to lack reliable sources and may constitute original research. --Teratornis (talk) 20:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict, agreeing with Teratornis) Vampire is currently semi-protected from editing - editors without an account and editors with accounts that are less than 4 days old cannot edit the article at present, due to persistent problems with vandalism. Having read your talk page comment, I'd also point you in the direction of the Wikipedia prohibition on original research and the need for additions to articles to have reliable sources. Making controversial, unsupported changes to articles such as that one could lead to upset. Regards, BencherliteTalk 20:58, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * (We also have so many people trying to help you that we give each other edit conflicts.) Wikipedia has complex policies and guidelines that control what we can add to articles here. Please read WP:NOT to get an idea of the things we aren't supposed to do here. There are many other wikis besides Wikipedia that you may also find interesting, and almost all of them have content policies that differ in some way from ours. That's something to keep in mind if you find Wikipedia's policies too restrictive. But it's worth the effort to figure out how to contribute to Wikipedia because this is the world's most popular wiki with the largest user community, and lots of interesting stuff happens here. Plus we have a Help desk where you can actually get help; not all wikis have such good support. Heck, hardly any corporations have such good support. --Teratornis (talk) 21:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Attention Editors of Wikipedia
Hi, I am doing a research paper, and I was wondering if anyone who is an editor on Wikipedia would like to comment on how they would like to see Wikipedia possibly changed or modified in order to not kill individual voices. The specific question that I am trying to research and get opinions on is, How can online colletive sites such as Wikipedia be modified in order not to kill the voice of the individual authors? I also related this question to credibility. So anyone out there who would like to offer their opinions and thoughts, that would be great. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.86.161.66 (talk) 22:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "individual voices"...Sounds like original research/Unverified claims to me, on wikipedia its dead important that information in the articles is verifiable, its like scientific research, if someone proposed that Apples actually floated when dropped from a certain height, when that person is asked how can that be, if he said "I just know it to be true, he would be laughed at by the scientific community at large for not being scientific, be not providing empirically justifiable evidence of said theory. Its similar on wikipedia, if someone for example if a person said that person X was a homosexual, would you believe it to be true solely based on that persons word? Of course not. So the idea of individual voices of users on wikipedia is muddle-headed concept, and this just leads to article ownership. There are no individual voices on wikipedia, only information, backed up by sources, sources which are found by contributors. The main article space of Wikipedia is not the place for opinion, and never will be.(Just to clarify, the above comments regard about the mainspace of wikipedia only, that is the articles themselves, the rest of wikipedia, i.e. the coordination end of the stick, its only natural that there is discussion about how articles should be and how wikipedia is run, its the nature of the beast, so in regard to that, I don't think the individual voices of contributors are killed off. A perhaps somewhat naive belief of mine is that, wikipedia is one of the most egalitarian institutions on the face of the earth.)-- Kerotan  Leave Me a Message  Have  a nice day :) 22:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Part of the entire purpose of this project is to create a collective document, without pride of ownership. Look at the bottom of every edit window on Wikipedia. "Please note: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it." "Owning an article" is a violation of our behavioral standards. This is not a venue for the egotist, for the individual voice; there are plenty of those strewn across the Internet like bastard stepchildren of Ayn Rand. This is a venue for collaboration, for consensus, for working together (including individualists and cooperativists working together, incidentally, despite my little swing at the toxic creature up there). -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think Wikipedia is in a more or less constant state of tension between people who want to use Wikipedia to express their own views, and those, like Kerotan and Orange Mike above, who realize that this is not possible if Wikipedia is to be a trusted source of information. There is still plenty of opportunity for individual initiative and for taking pride in one's work, for example, by taking an article and working on it to improve its quality or completeness, to locate better references, or to improve the wording.   Wanderer57 (talk) 23:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I see Wikipedia as in a more or less constant state of tension between inclusionists and deletionists, amateurists and professionalists. A lot of people want to have less articles of very professional quality, and a lot of people believe in the philosophy of making readily available all knowledge. Mac Davis (talk) 01:55, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

(undent) There are many other wikis with different content policies. For example, WikInfo allows for signed articles by identifiable authors. People who want to express their "individual voices" have many options outside Wikipedia. Many of those people come to Wikipedia, because Wikipedia happens to be the world's most popular wiki. But Wikipedia has become the world's most popular wiki because of its content policies. There is some irony in coming to Wikipedia because of the way it is, and then trying to change it into something else. If other ways of organizing a wiki led to similar success, some of the other wikis out there would be as successful as Wikipedia has become. After all, if someone knows a better way to organize a wiki, it's easy enough to start a wiki and allow its superior organization to win a following. This does not mean Wikipedia in its current form cannot possibly improve - Wikipedia continuously improves, so we know it's not perfect yet - but it does mean that suggestions for improving Wikipedia have to be very well thought out, taking into account all the benefits of whatever existing policies or guidelines or features a would-be reformer wants to reform. I.e., before we can realistically hope to improve Wikipedia, we have to understand Wikipedia very well. --Teratornis (talk) 18:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You mention that you are "doing a research paper." You did not say on what. If you are researching Wikipedia itself, see the links under WP:EIW. --Teratornis (talk) 18:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I might add that Jimmy Wales is an objectivist (i.e., he has been influenced by Ayn Rand). He believes that an objective reality exists, and the operation of Wikipedia reflects this belief. If an objective reality exists, that is, if propositions such as:
 * "The population of the United States is more than three hundred million people"
 * can really be objectively true (or false), and not a matter of subjective opinion, and if humans are capable of converging on accurate representations of objective reality in some instances, then for those instances "individual voices" are irrelevant. See also Critical thinking (people who really know how to think critically will draw the same conclusions from the same evidence), Appeal to authority (statements do not become more true solely on the authoritative reputation of a speaker), and Argumentum ad hominem (statements do not become less true solely on the scandalous reputation of a speaker). But simply as a practical matter, Wikipedia seeks to avoid content disputes through its core policies of WP:NPOV and WP:RS. Wikipedia does not make the truth, but instead truthfully reports what other people have reliably published. See also Scientific method - scientists generally do not murder each other over disagreements (as in a Religious war), because the scientific method gives scientists a procedure for resolving any scientific disagreement. We have analogous procedures on Wikipedia. --Teratornis (talk) 18:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Estoy trabajando en la Wikipedia en Asturiano http://ast.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portada y me gustaría saber qué pasos hay que seguir para editar los botones en la caja de edición (los que están al lado de "negrita" "cursiva"... "firmar", etc) Gracias y un saludo. Better if you answer me in my User talk page, thanks --Asturies (talk) 23:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll reply here and on your talk page, to help other editors. Sorry if this isn't clear, I'm using Google to translate, as I'm not a Spanish speaker. You can use a script to modify the buttons in your edit bar. Try copying the code from User:Minesweeper.007/extraeditbuttons.js to your monobook.js page on the Austrian Wikipedia. That should get you started, but for more help you can try asking at the tech village pump.
 * Voy a contestar aquí y en su página de discusión, para ayudar a los otros editores. Lo siento si esto no es claro, estoy usando Google para traducir, ya que no soy un orador español. Puede utilizar una secuencia de comandos para modificar los botones en su barra de edición. Prueba a copiar el código de User:Minesweeper.007/extraeditbuttons.js a tu monobook.js página de la Wikipedia austríaco. Esto debería ir empezando, pero por más ayuda puede intentar preguntar en la tecnología de la bomba de la aldea. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 00:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
