From: WP:CIV: Civility is a standard which all Wikipedians are expected to follow. It is, perhaps, easier to define its opposite, however: incivility, as defined on Wikipedia, consists of personally-targeted, belligerent behavior and persistent rudeness that results in an atmosphere of conflict and stress. This behavior and the ensuing atmosphere are detrimental to the project, and, therefore, are to be avoided. Civility is a reasonable way to distinguish acceptable conduct from unacceptable conduct.

J. R.R. Tolkien needs your help

J.R.R. Tolkien is up for Wikipedia:Featured article candidates and is VERY CLOSE. As you seem to have originally contributed to the development of this article, could you help put the in line citations where they need to go? That is the last big thing to be done, and I would truly appreciate the help since I would love to see it get FA status and I have none of the books! :) Thanks much!

Hale (band)

I had to remove those sections for its just a smorgasboard of lists. It is unencylopedic. I'm leaving out the influences section, and that might be included in the introduction, as to who are their major influences, NOT an entire section. The Equipment and the Goal sections has to be deleted. The Histroy section has to be rephrased. In toto, it is just a propaganda article. Check What Wikipedia is not. Howard the Duck 08:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revise as needed. However, the equipment and goal sections give useful information about the band's method and mesasge. --Malecasta 01:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

reference: http://soundclick.com/hale or better yet, try googling informations about them --61.9.55.100

If it came from that website, then its copyvio. More so it shouldn't be there.Howard the Duck 05:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is fair to use copyrighted information as long as it is cited; this is "fair use." I'm very much for any "propaganda" claims to be cited so they can be fairly used as secondary sources for a reference article. --Malecasta 01:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You did vandalize the page, Howard. It appears to be that you have grudges against the band. --61.9.55.100

Ad hominems don't work for me. Howard the Duck 05:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the page was vandalized. I do think information was deleted that could have been revised and discussed. --Malecasta 01:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave a signature and time stamp on my talk page. I see Howard the Duck, but I don't know who the other person is. --Malecasta 01:24, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we should settle the issue at Talk:Hale (band). Howard the Duck 14:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. =) -- Gogo Dodo 06:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the term "Edit-war"

You bring up an interesting point on Talk:The Hobbit regarding the use of the term "wp:edit war" for situations where two or more editors repeatedly edit the same piece of text without attempting to achieve consensus. Despite my use of it as jargon, having read your message I agree that it can be seen as being both emotive by appealing to the nature of conflict rather than the root causes of the conflict (which more often than not are easily dealt with by wp:nor,wp:v and wp:or) and is ideologically unsound (it belittles the atrocities of real war (see Aestheticization_as_propaganda#The_aestheticization_of_violence_for_political_purposes) and serves to normalise militaristic language). Inherently (through wp:NPOV), wikipedia should not be condoning or conditioning it's editors to this kind of casual language, and a different, neutral term should be enshrined in policy to describe these situations. What do you think? Do you have any ideas for replacement terms? Is this something worth persuing, perhaps taking to wp:vp? Davémon (talk) 10:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Alberto Martín-Artajo

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Alberto Martín-Artajo, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Oo7565 (talk) 19:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
