Chupa-mos.com

[edit]

Article about a non-notable Portugese language forum. Seems borderline speedy from a cursory reading, but the anon users working the page don't seem to like the tag I added, so we'll try VfD instead.. Delete. Ken 00:09, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

My vote is not to delete this. Chupa-mos.Com is more than a forum. Is a way of life. Chupa-mos is a totally brand all known between Portuguese Internet users and the way this forum is reflected on real life is notorious.

Cultural health

[edit]

This article is a neologism describing user Aunk's original research. User has not provided evidence that anyone other than him/herself uses this term. Bgeer 00:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment .


Hetep and Respect Bgeer and Good Spirits

Thanks for you interest in this article and your advise and council. I just came back from rewriting the cultural poisoning article (I hope you can find time to take a look). I have read all your comments and reread what I wrote and I am shocked.

My bad, as the young people say. I made a number of errors contextual and otherwise. If I had to vote again (I know I can't do that) I would "vote keep but rewrite" myself. Give me a minute to get my rewrite pen out and fix some of the errors you have pointed out.

I wrote this early version of the article when I first came to wikipedia. I am up here, on and off, for less then two weeks. Most of my time has been spent learning wiki and the rules. I think I am starting to get the hang of it and would like to thank everyone for your help.

  • Delete. "Cultural health" -aunk -wikipedia gets about 54000 Gooogles, but it is readily apparent that few of them apply. Since this and the following VfD are closely related, it is germane to observe that "Cultural poisoning" -aunk -wikipedia gets only 150 unique Google hits. "star model" "Cultural poisoning" gets a single hit. "Cultural health" "Cultural literacy" -aunk -wikipedia gets gets 59 hits. "Cultural poisoning" "Cultural health" -aunk -wikipedia gets 13 Googles. Since all these terms must be related from this article's perspective, I am concerned that the usages here may well be original research. Further, looking through the Google hits, at least some of them are from non-authoritative web fora and in some cases links to the apparently personal site(s) of the author. Looking through the first few pages of Google hits, and judging by their summaries, I found this which is unconvincing. By way of reference to Cultural poisoning, listed below, Amazon has this which is, as the nominator implies, by Aunk. The question is then, does an article about an author's theory qualify as original research when the same author has a published text containing that theory? It is published by "Writers Club Press", which "publishes on demand" [1] so in this case, there is no independent publication. By way of defence, I see some references at the bottom of the article. However, and this is important, they are not referenced in the text and carry little weight with me as a result since they are not used to support the text. The "See Also" section can be as long as it likes, without mitigating original research. All of which leads me to a delete. -Splash 01:15, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete original research, of the "Here's what I thought after reading these books" variety. Gazpacho 03:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cleanup. The author's view is very un-encyclopediac, but the term "Cultural health" is an accepted one in modern Human Geography studies. Instead of flat-out deleting the article, let's get some good writers in there to tidy it up a bit. --Frag 15:19, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete without prejudice, if someone wants to come back and re-write the article. It may be a viable term to have an article on. However, I can't see that there is anything here that wouldn't have to be completely re-written. Alternatively, it could be pared down to a tiny stub, and re-written from that. So I'll put "heavy cleanup" as a secondary vote if some sort of consensus needs to be made. --Icelight 16:53, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup per Frag. Briangotts (talk) 17:16, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, The phrase cultural health is not something new. Putting it in google gets 45,000,000 hits. Millions of people in America are talking about this topic. The article stub needs work to be encyclopedic but the topic is encyclopedic. Someone from the Asian American community at some point in time, will reflect their communities understanding of cultural health. The medical community will do the same. This is a big discussion with many "experts" and the article will grow.

--Aunk 18:23, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • I disagree with Aunk's assessment of the Google test results regarding Cultural health. The 45m figure is for the words seperately, not as a quoted phrase. The search "cultural health" -"health care" -"health club" -nurses -diseases -medical -aunk , gives 17,900 hits, none of which (that I could find) are using the term in the sense this article uses it. Bgeer 20:26, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Although I am not familiar with this term and the author seems to have written it from a POV, sources are cited although not neccessarily reliable ie Pat Buchanan. I would vote to keep even a decent stub given the currency of the term but would vote to delete this. Capitalistroadster 00:34, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete "original" research (which isn't even original. See eugenics) from a pathetic pseudo-intellectual that can barely even spell (Is english even your first language?) and claims ideas that are decades, even centuries old, as his own. --TheDoober 08:50, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as original research. Tearlach 16:50, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While this term may be used, its certainly not in this context. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 16:09, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. From the discussion above, it is clear that this subject has the potential to have a good, unbiased, article written about it, but the current article is so not that article. I suppose you could do a massive cleanup on it, but that would probably amount to a complete re-write. Might as well just nuke it now, and if somebody wants to write the real article, they can go ahead and do that at some point in the future. The alternative would be to Reduce this to a stub, which I wouldn't object to, but don't really think it's the right strategy. --RoySmith 00:37, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural poisoning

[edit]

This article is a neologism describing user Aunk's original research. User has not provided evidence that anyone other than him/herself uses this term. Bgeer 00:23, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Hetep and Respect Bgeer


Bgeer in his Vfd said:"…This article is a neologism describing user Aunk's original research. User has not provided evidence that anyone other than him/herself uses this term…"

There are three claims in Bgeer's two-sentence comment.

1. Cultural Poisoning is a neologism

2. The article describes Aunk's original research

3. Aunk has not provided evidence that some one other then he, uses the term

First let me say I appreciate Bgeer's interest in cultural literacy. For those who do not know Hetep (sometimes pronounced Hotep, means peace). Bgeer I think you jumped the gun. I was having a similar discussion on the discussion page with individuals interested in the article. I am new but was getting ready to make adjustments to the stub. But let me respond directly to your concerns.


1. Cultural Poisoning is a neologism

This is a debatable assertion. See info from wiki below. The difference between debatable and deleteable is considerable. "…When a word or phrase is no longer "new," it is no longer a neologism…. Opinions differ on exactly how old a word must be to no longer be considered a neologism; cultural acceptance probably plays a more important role than time in this regard…" [2]

Cultural acceptance is important. This phrase is accepted in the African American community. I have not run across an African American in cyberspace or on the ground that asserts cultural poisoning does not exist in the African American community. In addition many other ethnic groups use this phrase as a google test verifies. [3]

"Yesterday's neologisms, like yesterday's jargon, are often today's essential vocabulary." – Academic Instincts, 2001[1]

The phrase cultural poisoning is essential vocabulary in the cultural literacy discussion of today. See quote from wikipedian below.

"…used frequently in the cultural literacy cult, I've also seen it in Eastern journalism decrying the poisoning of their culture by Western influences…" user: Jareth.:. see his vote and comment below:.


2. The article describes Aunk's original research


The article has been rewritten as source-based research. See wiki policy below.

"…Original research that creates primary sources is not allowed. However, research that consists of collecting and organizing information from existing primary and/or secondary sources is strongly encouraged. In fact, all articles on Wikipedia should be based on information collected from primary and secondary sources. This is not "original research," it is "source-based research," and it is fundamental to writing an encyclopedia…"

All information listed under references , in the article comply with following wiki policy.

"… it is essential that any primary-source material used in an article has been published or otherwise made available to people who do not rely on Wikipedia…"


The other reason that "original research" should not apply to this article is as follows.

Aunk is writing as and expert on the terms Cultural Health, Cultural literacy and cultural poisoning as they related to the African American community. See the applicable wiki rule below.

"…No original research" does not mean that experts on a specific topic cannot contribute to Wikipedia. Indeed, Wikipedia welcomes experts and academics. However, such experts do not occupy a privileged position within Wikipedia. They should refer to themselves and their publications in the third person and write from a neutral point of view (NPOV)…"

3. Aunk has not provided evidence that some one other then he, uses the term

Cass_V._Cibelli

[edit]

vanity, definite copyvio, not notable (win the election first) 128.112.24.137 03:42, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

speedy keep, high-profile race in Westchester. Voters have a right to find out information about the candidates. This makes it easier for them to do so.

speedy keep, I wrote the biography, posted it on the website and hold the exclusive right to use it. There is no copyright violation here. By posting the biography on this page I authorized it's use on this page.

  • Hi, 68.161.66.112 (again.) First of all, there is no such thing as "speedy keep." Secondly, please sign your remarks by putting 4 ~s afterwards. Thirdly, you claim that this is a "high-profile race" in Westchester. The only mention of "Cass Cibelli" that I could find in the news was a two sentence, second-paragraph mention in an online-only newspaper [11]. Finally, if you are the person who wrote the promotional biography on Cibelli's website, then it is inappropriate for you to copy and paste this to create the page on Wikipedia. (The content you posted, whether you own it or not, is not "neutral" ("NPOV" in the parlance.) It is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. If the article is not deleted, that content will be, by me or someone else.) 128.112.24.137 05:41, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep is a common vote on VfD. It is essentially equivalent to voting to de-list, because the nomination is brazenly inappropriate. -- Visviva 12:01, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Copyvio on non-notable candidate. A search for that name achieved nil results on Google News [12] or Topix.net [13] suggesting he is not that high profile in terms of newsworthiness. BTW, the VfD notice was missing but I restored it. Capitalistroadster 06:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: We already have a process for resolving copyvio. VfD is not it.
    • Comment. The argument for VfD is that the person is not-notable. There is an additional copyvio issue, which in part arises from the fact that the subject is sufficiently non-notable that there is no other source of information on him. Sdedeo 23:34, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was keep (no consensus). This one is very difficult, because there are a number of votes from users with very low edit counts. In particular the nomination is by an anonymous user, and the two last keep votes are both from users whos' votes are among their earliest edits. Nonetheless, all these users appear to have been making legitimate edits as well, and all were created before this VFD started. Because of this, and also with the "when in doubt, don't delete"-rule in mind, I will accept all the votes. The main concern here has been verifiability, I will therefore add a {{verify}}-tag on the article. If no verification is provided, the article may well be listed on VFD again in the near future.

Twisting_the_Cow

[edit]

probable hoax; google returns only a few mentions (less than a page) all of which are dubious touristic sites. 128.112.24.137 03:40, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Twisting the Cow is not a hoax. I actually first read about it in a reliable, factual, book which I trust (Bloody Scotland, Horrible Histories series). In fact, I think most of the webpages are almost directly plagiaristic copies of the book. Hey, it's not my fault the Scots like such strange things (haggis) ;) ! If you don't believe the book, I guess the only way to prove it not a hoax is to find the results from the Invergarry Games of 1820. I also just realized that I need to change it from "Twisting the Cow" to "Twisting the cow". How do I rename a wikipedia page?Confusius 03:44, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is an actual event that existed in the 19th Century. See [14]. You don't need pages of Google hits for something to be legitimate. This does need expansion and a proper stub tag, however. 23skidoo 04:16, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Well... okaaay. Your HTML reference also refers as its source back to the same book that Confusius remembers seeing it in, a book which also tells you how to "how to terrify a tourist with gory Scottish ghost". I guess I'm just not convinced it's anything other than an urban legend that happened to appear in a children's book (ages 8 and up!) 128.112.24.137 04:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I think the main thing that we're trying to decide here isn't whether to delete it or not, but whether it's an urban legend or not. If it's not, then keep the page. If it is, keep the page but categorize it as an urban legend. Confusius 22:52, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have heard several accounts in my time of such an event taking place in the past in Scotland. It's not one of the more common traditions, but if you look beyond google there's enough evidence to say that, urban legand or real event, it's just about worthy of a mention Zaw061 14:38, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

vanity, creator of article shares name with subject; no case for notability. 128.112.24.137 04:21, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Userfy. Nateji77 05:27, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as vanity. The fact that it's created by a user named "Koudis" makes it a pretty obvious case. As for notability, "Nick Koudis" gets 163 unique Google hits and the website referenced has no Alexa rank at all! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:57, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep.
    • Alexa rank is, as usual, no use for determining whether an individual is notable; we're not about to delete Marvin Minsky's entry just because only a few AI geeks ever visit his website.
    • We also don't delete biographical entries as vanity solely because they're created by the subject.
    • Nick Koudis is verifiable as a charter photographer for the stock library Getty Images, and his photographs are widely used. I see photo credits for Nick Koudis online at the following sites, and I didn't have to look hard:
    • Could I find more? Easily, but that is enough to establish notability. --Tony SidawayTalk 11:45, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cleanup and Keep. Notable, but messy. I recognize most of those ads. RasputinAXP 17:19, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't have too much trouble on the notability score, but the article reeks of vanity. And is anyone besides me worried about the fair use claim on those images? In any case, some of the Keep voters ought to take on a major cleanup of this piece. -- Mwanner 23:02, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • As author and copyright holder of all the images, I can vouch for the fair use claim. I also would like to point out, that although I did post the article about my own work, it is unbiased and factual. --Nick 23:16, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Cleaned up the picture section a bit. Is vanity grounds for deletion if it is notable and the info is factual? I don't think it should be. Henny Clugman 01:40, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Voter has 2 edits, both to this VfD --Allen3 talk 14:50, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • You're right-- although vanity is often cited in VfD discussions, it really shouldn't, of itself, be grounds for deletion: it's the notability that matters. "Vanity" is really a not very apt shorthand for a problem with the style of writing-- it feels like a puff piece, not an encyclopedia entry. I'll make a stab at a re-write. I'm still worried about the copyright issues, though. The AMEX and Wrigley images are no problem? -- Mwanner 13:27, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

"Liquivore" got me 8 unique google hits. Maybe something from fiction, but if so, a pretty minor thing.

  • Keep Sorry Guys, I mean no Offence. I thought this might be a touchy subject. I honestly am not just placing this on the web for myself. My group of friends LOVES this game. It is actually quite fun. You should try it. Before I posted this article, I looked at Wikipedia's drinking games article. I thought our game would be a good contribution to the listing but I am not the expert, this is my first addition to Wikipedia. I do not want to do anything to compromise the integrity of the best open-source website on the internet. When I wrote the article, I considered the way it should be presented. Since it is a drinking game, I thought humor would be a good way to render the subject matter into an enjoyable article. I am open to suggestions and am willing to remove names since you guys main complaint about the page is believe that it exist just because I am a vain person. Which I really am not. :Buphoff 07:01, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Please understand that "vanity" is not accusing you of being vain. It's just a comment that several elements of the article seem to be self promoting, if not of yourself, then of your group. In any case, even if written in a more neutral fashion, the article would still fail the notability test and would probably qualify as original research, which is not permitted. Don't feel bad, and don't let this chase you away. If you look around, I guarantee that you will find something that you contribute to. ManoaChild 09:39, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am not I simply was noting one of the more famious people from my town I included more of her bio so you can see why I attempted to add this and thought it would be a good additionAndrew D White 06:51, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

I could argue that most of the living people here do not fall in all these categories and that wouldnt make me any more right or wrong than the people who included them maby i should mave a call to delete 30% of the bios here because they are not famous in my part of the world. In defense of this articel though, I would say that she qualifies for: "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events" Andrew D White 07:00, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

The Uprising

[edit]

Nominated for deletion because I judge this to be advertising, and as such it's a violation of Section 1.4.3 of WP:NOT The Literate Engineer 07:08, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Advertisement, Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball. EvilPhoenix talk 07:41, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Author's Response
I personally do not see how this is advertising, as, unless someone hits the page using "Random article" (and what are the chances of that?), they aren't going to stumble upon the page without actually looking for more information about the game itself.

Screenshots and the website for the game are due out in just a couple of weeks, and it is only a couple of months before the game makes its debut.

You say that Wikipedia is not a "Crystal Ball," and yet there are tons of pages about upcoming movie, music, and game releases. The only reason you are against my example of it is because I come from a very small, independent game company, which doesn't give me the same kind of voice.

I've had the same problem getting information about the game published on game websites--no one believes me. Yet this game has been in development for over a year, and is very far from an amateur attempt at an MMORPG. We have a rather large and fully capable team of coders, designers, modelers, and writers who have given enormous quantities of their time over the past year making this project a reality.

Delete it if you must, it'll just be recreated again when the game comes out this winter. Instead of trying to destroy every attempt at deleting every page that might be some kind of indirect advertisement, just have some trust, for once, and let the information about the game be out there for your audience to see.

That's all I'll say, and if you, the editors, still are not convinced, you are more than welcome to delete the page. End of (unsigned) author's response

Second Author Response I have saved a copy of the article in .odt form on my computer, so feel free to delete it now. However, I still think that all of you are being absolutely ridiculous, not to mention completely hypocritical. The only reason I'm being treated this way is because I represent such a small game studio! Frag 11:46, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete - You've not yet completed one project. No one has seen any of your work. When it's released, then maybe the article can be related.

  • Weak Delete Well, they do have an allmusic page here. This reports that they have released two albums, which might qualify them under WP:MUSIC. The only thing I'm not sure about is if the label, Loveless Records, fits the description "more important indie label". Their homepage, here doesn't seem to indicate that they have a "roster of performers, many of which are notable". That is, I couldn't find a page of ours on any of their other bands, which should exist for a really notable band, i.e. one which would make the label itself notable. I'm willing to be proven otherwise, but that's my position for now. --Icelight 18:15, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Standards of measure in the Copper Age

[edit]

Same reason as for Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Standards of measure in the Modern West etc yesterday. Additionally, the entire idea of comparing these units in a table by mm equivalent is at fault. Some of these units were very precise, some were quite variable and uncertain over times. Finally, these units are already covered by Ancient weights and measures and sub-articles, to the degree these articles have survived the contributions of this same anon. Sorry for the rant, but I get tired of being his janitor. Egil 08:52, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I'd suggest leaving a redirect, but it's unlikely anyone would type that exact phrase in, so just delete. Proto t c 09:20, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
* Keep, Valuable, well researched, well cited, interesting, informative, excellent links. Rktect 7:25, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
updated and under mediation, also as to the linking these pages were all
linked together under ancient weights and measures
which is where they belong

Rktect 6:03, 5 August 2005 (EST)

Looking at unit standards of measure comparatively by cultures
makes it much easier to see who shared measures with whom.
If you would like to see them compared in their own or contemporary units
as well as mm, why not put that comment on the discussion page?
Most copper age measures are given as multiples of a standard
of which the best surviving example measures 1/2 meter.
As to giving their values to the nearest whole mm rather than to several
decimals of mm, copper age standards are not precise to decimal mm
or variant to 10's of mm and generally best established to +/- 1 mm per foot.
For those cultures for whom there is a written contemporary
primary reference to sharing a standard (as with the letter of Nanse}
which was cited on the discussion page for ancient weights and measures)
There are long term investigations of the units involved and the results
are now considered basic historical fact.
In the past many people have applied an ethnocentric perspective
to "their measures" stating that they are "Anglo Saxon", "German",
"Danish" French or "English" when they actually have much longer
histories that have been explored in the literature.
Being able to see the connection broken down by conventional archaeological
period rather than simply lumped to gether as ancient makes the similarities
and differances much clearer
The objection that these studies are original research is also invalid
as their original sources have been cited on the discussion page and
in some cases transcriptions of the original ancient language with
translations given in English
Comment While unconvinced, I stand in awe of a response written in poetry. --Icelight 18:19, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

On his own, over protest, he unilateraly did so
Then he decided to delete all reference to the original version
which preserved the comparison of units between cultures on a single page

Ancient Measures by Culture

[edit]
Rktect7/31/05
Another way to approach the listing of measures would be to break it up by time and unit
These will eventually compare cultures in a less ethnocentric way (note pre-conquest Americas)
They are a work in progress requiring the names and values of many units be filled in
ideally they would also eventually get their value in increments of their own units.

As you may have understood, in Wikipedia, discussions are resolved by consensus. It does not matter if you can read Sumerian, and understand hieroglyphs. Probably the common masses, i.e. Wikipedians, are not capable of understanding nor appreciating material of such extraordinary intelligence and knowledge that you are producing.

Burning of books?

[edit]
User Egil comment

As the votes-for-deletion hopefully have shown, Wikipedia is not the right place for the type of material you are producing. I have given you a number of reasons before, and other Wikipedians have now also expressed their opinion.

rktect 8/7/05 The votes for deletion are ultimately reviewed
by a competant administrator who will probably decide
what to do with the articles based on their overall content.
You have made a number of false statements about them
which a competant administrator will probably pick up.
You have claimed they are original research when the articles
cite sources that are in their fifth printing and
in some cases date back to classical sources.
You have claimed they are just lists when in fact they are tables
You have claimed they have no value or are covered elsewhere
which is far from the case because they are comparative tables
which restore the comparitive nature of having lists of unit
values on the same page that you removed by putting them
on separate pages plus adds the utility of putting them
in a table form for comparison
What amazes me is that the articles were not even complete before
you began demanding their deletion. What that tells me is that you
are afraid of discussing their content.

Actually if you read the deletion page it informs that the
votes are used as a guideline but that it is up to the judgement
of the administrator what action if any should be taken
particularly when the page is just being created and is still
being actively worked on every day it would be the normal
policy to keep it and wait to see how well it is ultimatly
polished and perfercted.

Standards of measure in Medieval Europe

[edit]

Same reason as for Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Standards of measure in the Copper Age above. Additionally, this is utterly broken as a concept because the units were often dramatically different from city to city and from time to time, even in the same country.

Egil claims "this is utterly broken as a concept
because the units were often dramatically different from city to city
and from time to time, even in the same country"
yet its very easy to see by looking at a list of German cities
that these "dramatic differances" are nothing more than a multiple of earlier standards.
Its not always the same multiple or the same standard and
in some cases they have multiple standards but its still reconstructable.
Part of what I am doing is giving the unit and the multiple for comparison
I can go back and compare what Ogilby said about the equivalence in 1607
shortly after Elizabeth changed the statute in 1593 and see that it makes
a difference what the reporters standard is at the time.
Looking at unit standards of measure comparatively by cultures
makes it much easier to see who shared measures with whom.
Medieval standards are different than copper age standards
because there are many references to their having been copied from Greek or Roman
units already well established in the popular literature as opposed
to obscure technical publications written in dead languages
so they are much easier to document and much more accessible web sources.
As to giving their values to the nearest whole mm rather than to several
decimals of mm, medieval standards are not precise to decimal mm
or variant to 10's of mm and generally best established to +/- 1 mm per foot.
For those cultures for whom there is a written contemporary primary reference
to sharing a standard (as with the Roman surveyor Hyginus Gromaticus
who traced the dimensions of local fields back to the standards established
by Claudius Ptolomy as the Romans first entered Germanica
which was cited on the discussion page for ancient weights and measures
There are long term investigations of the units involved and the results
are now considered basic historical fact.
In the past many people have applied an ethnocentric perspective
to "their measures" stating that they are "Anglo Saxon", "German",
"Danish" French or "English" when they actually have much longer
histories that have been explored in the literature.
Being able to see the connection broken down by conventional archaeological
period rather than simply lumped to gether as ancient makes the similarities
and differances much clearer
The objection that these studies are original research is also invalid
as their original sources have been cited on the discussion page and
in some cases transcriptions of the original ancient language with
translations given in English

Rktect: 8/5/05
If you could provide a list of all the names of medieval measuring units
even for one year out of a period of over a millenia, that would be pretty impressive.
In some standard reference works people have tried to provide such a list by city,
or by country and region or province and then by city, generally focusing on major
periods of redefinition such as Queen Elizabeth's changes to the mile by statute in 1593
or the effect of the Metric system being passed into law in France in 1812.
Klein's "The World of Measurement" is pretty good that way, so are a couple of on-line sites
that compare various definitions of land.
In the standard reference works in which there is an attempt to collect them systematically
giving examples that match a definition, comparision tables are very useful.
I have seen a few attempts in the collection of medieval measures to show
where a measure is geo-commensurate or based on Greek or Roman standards but
in general the effect of Egils massive edit is that it no longer is easy to
compare one set of influences with another in two different kingdoms let alone
in two different periods.
On the Ancient Weights and Measures discussion page when user Egil first proposed this
I put sufficient facts to explain why its not useful to look at weights and measures
in isolation divided up not according to commercial interest but political interest.
The point he seems not to get is that measures define property and commercial interests
are very resistant to having someone change the rules when they are in the middle of
their transactions.
A really good book on this subject is "The Medieval Machine" by Jean Gimpel

Standards of measure in Iron Age Europe

Looking at unit standards of measure comparatively by cultures
makes it much easier to see who shared measures with whom.
Iron age standards are different than copper age or medieval standards
because this is the period when the Greek and Roman and for that matter Phoenician
empires are heavily engaged in trade with Europe.
Traders moved overland, up rivers and along coasts which they surveyed.
Rivers like the Dneiper, Dneister, Danube and Don
led deep into Germanica to connect with rivers like the Oder and Rhine.
As the Greek and Roman traders moved into into Germany well in advance of
any conquering armies they carried with them standards of measure for
commerce and agriculture.
These Greek and Roman units are already well established in the popular literature
as opposed to obscure technical publications written in dead languages
for copper and iron age units so they are much easier to document
and have much more accessible web sources.
As to giving their values to the nearest whole mm rather than to several
decimals of mm, iron age standards are not precise to decimal mm
or variant to 10's of mm and generally best established to +/- 1 mm per foot.
For those cultures for whom there is a written contemporary primary reference
to sharing a standard (as with Ptolomy;s geography) which was cited on the
discussion page for ancient weights and measures, there are long term
investigations of the units involved and the results
are now considered basic historical fact.
In the past many people have applied an ethnocentric perspective
to "their measures" stating that they are "Anglo Saxon", "German",

Same reason as for Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Standards of measure in the Copper Age above. In this case, various values are filled in.

by comparison between more specific times and places than "Mesopotamia" or "Egypt"
which are civilizations that span several millenia each

Looking at unit standards of measure comparatively by cultures
makes it much easier to see who shared measures with whom.
Egil says the subject is already covered but that is false
Associating units with cultures makes it appear that every time a new culture arises
it reinvents the wheel and starts over again from scratch with new standards of measure
that have nothing in common with those that went before.
That is clearly not the case as measures are used to define property and people
tend not to like strangers coming around and messing with what's theirs.
The important thing about this period are the letters documenting the desire
to establish common standards between countries which have been placed on
the discussion page where anybody can read them.
In this case in particular I would point out this is a work in progress
since it takes time both to do the data entry and translate the cites
from the original languages.
The standards of the Jemdet Nasr are both similar to and different from
copper age or iron age or medieval standards. In many cases they are better
documented by weights than by land units because this is the period when
the Sumerians first became heavily engaged in trade with Melluha, Makkan,
Dilmun and Egypt and first needed agreed upon international standards
of weights and measures.
Its the period in which the first archaeological and written evidence
of standards appears and in many cases the values of goods and services
are directly related to their standards of measure.
Traders moved overland, up rivers and along coasts which they surveyed.
Rivers like the Indus, Tigris, Euphrates and Nile connected with the Erythrian Sea
In the case of the Nile by means of overland portages and eventually a canal
As the Sumerian and Hurrian traders moved into Syrio-Anatolia well in advance of
any conquering armies they carried with them standards of measure for
commerce and agriculture.
These Sumerian units are not always already well established in the popular literature
Sometimes they are found in obscure technical publications written in dead languages
copper and iron age units are easier to document and have much more accessible web sources
so only now are they begining to emerge on line as citable primary sources.
As to giving their values to the nearest whole mm rather than to several
decimals of mm, Sumerian standards are not precise to decimal mm
or variant to 10's of mm and generally best established to +/- 1 mm per foot.
For those cultures for whom there is a written contemporary primary reference
to sharing a standard (as with the rod of Gudea) which was cited on the
discussion page for ancient weights and measures, there are long term
investigations of the units involved and the results
are now considered basic historical fact.
In the past many people have applied an ethnocentric perspective
to "their measures" stating that they are "Anglo Saxon", "German",
"Danish" French or "English" when they actually have much longer
histories that have been explored in the literature.

Peg boy

[edit]

Vandalism, surely Al 14:52, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • It appears to be semi-genuine [28] [29]. That is, it is a slang dicdef of a boy prostitute, who indeed were forced to sit on pegs (if it isn't an urban legend of course). Quite what this has to do with the Royal Navy however, is beyond me. But I vote delete as a dicdef. A suitable article would go under a more grown up name such as child prostitution. Dunc|☺ 16:28, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is a dicdef currently, but this could certainly developed into a proper article if it's legit as the above links suggest. For example, to what extent was the idea of a pegboy known about or tolerated by the Navy? Did they really sit on pegs or was this a legend? Beyond the scope of a dictionary entry, but fair game for an encyclopaedia. Definite keep from me. Agentsoo 17:41, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Agentsoo. I've put cleanup and accuracy tags on the article (that's appropriate while it's on VfD, right?) but this is an encyclopedic subject and should be covered and linked from other articles. -EDM 19:42, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jackie Noyes

[edit]

Editors, you are hereby served a cease and desist letter. Forget about deletion. Every word of the entry is factually true.

Below I enumerate my options: - Trying to Slashdot.org the news of this delete attempt. The /. site is read by a million plus geeks (free-as-in-speech advocated) people daily. They would be grossly enraged about such low in their beloved Wikipedia. - Telling BBC. They are not fond of the US humanwrongs-wise.

  • The above comment was made unsigned by 195.70.48.242 (author of the article) ([32]). Cursive 15:12, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, the vfd notice was removed by 195.70.48.242 only 8 minutes after originally put up by 195.92.40.49 (see [33])- I am only bringing this to attention because of the revert of the original vfd, and the above letter, wasn't sure where else to put this. Cursive 15:12, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but needs to be cleaned up and wikified. Possibly merged to a "prison rape" article. I've been Googling for the story, but haven't found anything in mainstream media yet. Al 15:39, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — an ugly story, but it doesn't seem notable in and of itself. This VfD discussion needs to be monitored for edits by 195.92.40.49. — RJH 16:02, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Yes, an ugly story, but I've found no indication that this is some sort of "international scandal" or even that this woman's case is being used as a reason to get the law changed. Either of those things would make this story (and thus the victim) notable. As an aside, the original author's reaction to this nomination is rather amusing. Neither Slashdot nor the BBC would care about a single article being deleted from Wikipedia, and using this threatening tactic in defense of an article isn't going to change anyone's mind. android79 16:15, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Article has merit but is sorely in need of work.Gateman1997 16:38, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If the story is false, delete as hoax. If the story is true, delete as not notable. Nasty business indeed, but not encyclopedic nasty business. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:53, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, NN, and blackmail sucks. RasputinAXP 16:55, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete sad but nn. "Cease and desist"? That's a laugh. --Etacar11 01:46, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep If we have article about the criminal bitch PFC Lynnie exploiting detainees like animals, than we should have article about a detainee being exploited. If we only carry the criminals, then Wiki is aiming for a new low. Wiki is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, so the amount of media attention is not a measure for inclusion. If it were, Wiki should be called Reader's Digest instead. But as far as news go, Jackie's federal venue civil rights violation lawsuit series will certainly make it into the big news sooner or later, so why not have the article now?
As for Slashdot, they already the carry the news from yesterday, that wikipedia is starting to censor officially (read it here: http://slashdot.org/articles/05/08/05/2012229.shtml?tid=187&tid=95). I think this Jackie Noyes article is perfect example why wikipedia will fail. People delete info they find disturbing and the majority of netizens are in USA, so only US-pinkglasses info can be posted and wiki has less and less to do with reality over time. However, I need to warn, that it is EN.wikipedia.org and not US.wikipedia.org, so you cannot sanitize this wiki of all US-condemning info.
By the way, the Jackie case was an international affair, because it was the AI who did most to get her and the baby out of prison. They secured the support of a european monarch, mother herself, who contacted the wisconsin governor via a mutual friend, an influental lobbist-businessman and this really set things in motion. But this is not offical info that could get into wikipedia. — (Unsigned comment by 213.178.101.126; user's 1st edit.)
    • The Slashdot story you link to describes greater editorial control, not censorship, and if you would bother to read the comments, many Slashdotters think this is a necessary thing to add to Wikipedia. I'm personally ambivalent about the idea. Please point out above the voters you think wish to "censor" this particular article based on finding the article "disturbing." This is not censorship; this is editing. android79 14:03, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
      • Jimbo has officially said the aforementioned story is complete bunk. Yelyos 07:07, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Prisoners, and mental patients, get raped in prisons and mental institutions around the world every day. It's sad. Scandalous, even. It would be instructive, and encyclopedic, to have information on the incidence of such events in various countries around the world. Anons and slashdotters, feel free to make such an article and include this person in it on an equal NPOV basis with other identified victims of prison abuse worldwide. This person, alone, is unencyclopedic for reasons of disproportionality in view of her non-notability. Oh, and in view of the last anon post, add to the reasons for deletion: conspiracy theory. -EDM 17:02, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and cleanup. I think, given the media coverage, that this is notable enough for Wikipedia. However, it really needs to be cleaned up, and should be linked from Custodial rape. Lots of girls go missing each year - what makes an Elizabeth Smart notable and not a Nicole Morin is the relative media coverage in each case, and if Jackie has become some sort of media figure representing custodial rape, by all means we should include the article. Blackmail is unfortunate, but it shouldn't factor in our decision to keep an article unrelated to the perpetrator. Yelyos 07:07, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: It might be worth looking at the whole "List of popular MOOs" section at MOO. While I think the general concept of MUDs and MOOs is encyclopedic, individual ones probably aren't. There is some interesting historical material in LambdaMOO, and (to a lesser extent) LinguaMOO and MediaMOO, but overall I'm thinking it would make sense to merge the significant parts from those individual articles into MOO and have one good article instead of a smattering of trivial ones.

Field Marshal (India)

[edit]

This article is nominated for deletion as I could find no evidence that the rank has ever in fact existed. During World War II, some British Generals were referred to as "Field marshals of the Indian Army" but were simply British Field Marshals in command of Indian troops. In addition, this is a one line article created by an anon user with no sources provided. -Husnock 17:32, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or at the very least don't redirect to the cartoon. Bionic Bunny is also a character in the books, and even has his own spin-off (The Bionic Bunny Show, ISBN 0316109924) which predates the Arthur cartoon show by more than a decade. The Bionic Bunny Show was also made into an episode of Reading Rainbow. BB also has merchandise, such as a doll, and scores decently on Google (16,800 Google hits). Redirecting Bionic Bunny to the Arthur TV show would be like redirecting Bugs Bunny to Space Jam. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:50, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
    • If the article is expanded to reflect how prevalent the Bionic Bunny character actually is I'll be happy to withdraw my vfd request.

    • Comment. I believe it was undeleted and merged. The history shows no deletions, although FCY Travis' premature speedy is in the log. This premature speedy shows that people must do some research before pressing that button. That a stub may be uninformative in itself is abolutely no excuse at all. Without a stub there is nothing upon which most of us--particularly the vast majority of us who would not be aware of the school's existence without the stub--can base our research and expand the stub. --Tony SidawayTalk 21:51, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • There was nothing premature about it. My speedy deletion was based on the fact that it was a very short article with no context - speediable under CSD criteria 1.2.1. The history for Portland High School shows five deleted edits. FCYTravis 23:44, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • You're not the only person to use an extremely questionable interpretation of the "no context" clause. Of course it had context, it stated clearly that Portland High School was in Portland, Maine. With that context the stub was expandable. --Tony SidawayTalk 09:53, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • I would've tagged it for deletion even if it wasn't a one sentence stub. Schools aren't inherently noteworthy. And before anyone even gets started, I know that Wikipedia isn't paper, but it's also not a junkyard. The only reason I changed my vote to keep was because the age of the institution is notable. -Soltak 21:34, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. I'll be watching your taggings carefully for a while. There is no CSD for a school article on grounds of non-notability. You were right to bring this to VfD. It would have made more sense to do some research--it's what you're supposed to be here for. --Tony SidawayTalk 21:55, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • You appear to have misunderstood. I'm well aware that there's no CSD for non-notability. I tagged the article for speedy deletion, and that request was favorably acted upon, because the original article had no content other than "It's located in Portland, Maine." What I was referring to was the fact that I personally believe that the majority of articles regarding schools do not belong on Wikipedia due to the fact that while education is inherently notable, the buildings where instruction occurs are not. It would've made more sense to actually read my statement before commenting -- it's what admins are supposed to be here for. -Soltak 22:22, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Wrongly speedied articles, particularly schools, are always resurrected (I should know, I usually do it myself). It is wrong to speedy an article on a school solely because it only correcly locates the school--that is all we need to expand it. I'm taking the liberty of moving the school building/homeschooling debate to the talk page of this VfD. --Tony SidawayTalk 10:01, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of groups widely considered extremist

[edit]

there's no way this could ever be NPOV, and the article certaintly starts that way, with its one member being PETA Sdedeo 23:23, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Extreme delete because the implication will be 'considered extreme by Western liberals ...' --Doc (?) 23:53, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as irredeemably POV (although PETA is widely described by media as extremist, but others no doubt beg to differ). 23skidoo 23:54, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete as subjective and POV. Does this qualify for a speedy? Kaibabsquirrel 15:27, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: We are here to report on the world, and one of the truths about the world is that there are groups that are frequently considered extremist. Recently there has been a pernicious notion that since Wikipedia is not supposed to endorse one POV over another, that Wikipedia should not acknowledge the existence of controversial POVs. In short, I find the nominating statement of "there's no way this could ever be NPOV" to be entirely at odds with the very notion of NPOV, and the only reason I am not supporting the keeping of the current article is because it is currently just one item long and its subject, that of all extremist groups, too broad. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:18, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The problem is that groups considered "extreamist" today may not be in 10 years, so at the very least its quite time-based --Ryan Norton T | @ | C 00:58, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - cannot be anything but POV. Definition of extremism is totally based on someone's POV from "extremist liberals" to "extremist conservatists" to "extreme environmentalists". At the very least, the list would have to include very copious notes who consider the group extremist, making it bona fide edit war bait. I think we can write about various groups "considered extremist" by defining what they do (ie. sort of "show, don't tell"). - Skysmith 08:49, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: You're completely right that an acceptable article on this topic would need copious notes to verify that the groups are "widely" considered extremist. But there seems to be a common confusion these days between "the subject of the article is a POV, or multiple POVs" and "the article is inherently POV" -- two entirely different things. -- Antaeus Feldspar 22:52, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. attack on Fallujah

[edit]

Bias propaganda selectively citing reports of abuse by U.S. Marines. This information is covered in the page on Fallujah and so (1) does not need it's own entry, and (2) even if it did this shouldn't be it. As a person who spent a long time in Fallujah (not during the attack in question) I am willing to admit not all the acts by US soldiers in Iraq may be morally acceptable. However, I would argue most are and that this entry well over-exaggerates the bad behavior of US soldiers in Iraq. It was also my experience in Iraq that a large amount of the reports given to the media by Iraqis were themselves lies or exaggerations. Heck, I've even been to the hospital cited in this article.

There is a valid place for criticism of U.S. actions in Iraq, but this entry is just rampant nonsense. [Delete]
