I have reverted your edit to this template for two reasons:

  1. You did not say why you made it in the edit summary
  2. This template is sensitive to edits. Generally consensus is reached on its talk page prior to deletions

Thank you for fulfilling item 1, above. I suspect you will run into difficulty now because a forum does not pass WP:RS as any form of authoritative source and because no consensus has been reached, and am simply noting this to you. Because you have made few contributions so far I suspect you are new to the ways of Wikipedia. If so then you have picked a challenging area with strongly held opinion to make your first edits. You will doubtless meet all reactions from hostility to support. Fiddle Faddle 22:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to pop back to my talk page for more thoughts. Wikipedia is very awkward to keep conversations threaded together. Fiddle Faddle 22:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Webster Tarpley edits also have issues

[edit]

This diff shows what I mean. While you may very well have the facts right here, I predict that the edits will be reversed because the references do not pass muster. We can't refer to a raft of blogs and forums as references which validate encyclopaedic entries and expect the encyclopaedia to be authoritative because of them. We need to cite properly reliable sources.

I'm not going to revert the edits myself (you may start to feel stalked if I do), but I am sure (0.9 probability) that they will have been reverted within 48 hours because of the lack of authority in the citations.

Cite better sources and there is a very high probability that they will stay.

A bit of a baptism of fire, isn't it?

TfD nomination of Template:911ct supporters

[edit]

Template:911ct supporters has been nominated for deletion by Ice Cold Beer. As this TfD nomination includes objections to the same list of people that is currently in use in Template:911ct, I am inviting you to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. (I am sending this message to you as a current or former editor of Template:911ct, following the guideline on multiple messages.) Regards —  Cs32en  08:31, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
