proposed deletion

I intend to propose the deletion of the individual articles giving plot summaries of the Animorphs series as unencyclopedia. What I suggest you do is to combined them into articles for the series, or parts of the series--that way, there will be a chance to preserve some elements of the work yo have been doing. Please see WP:NOT and the various discussions on the plot summaries. DGG (talk) 02:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Rice residential colleges

Please review and participate in the discussion concerning these articles. Thanks, Postoak (talk) 06:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Notability of residential colleges

You previously commented on a dispute at List of Rice University residential colleges but the issue at the heart of that dispute appears to be more widespread. A RFC has been submitted on the best way to deal with the existence of many Wikipedia articles on residence halls and dormitories at colleges and universities that may not be notable. Your input and feedback would be appreciated at the RFC. Madcoverboy (talk) 17:40, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Sid Richardson College

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Madcoverboy (talk) 00:49, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

GREAT JOB! I extend you a thousand thank yous for improving the image. I think that should resolve the entire situation. If at any point you need a favour let me know and I'll do my best to help out.--Labattblueboy (talk) 17:47, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Consensus test on university topics

You previously commented on the RFC on the notability of residences at colleges and universities. A consensus test has been posted to evaluate what, if any consensus, has been reached on the issue. Please go and comment at: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#Consensus test. Madcoverboy (talk) 18:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Residential College Crests

I managed to get a hold of all the SVGs for each college (save Lovett, who I am told is making slight changes to theirs) from Rice Print Services and put them on Commons commons:Category:Rice_University_Residential_College_Crests. Although, I think the Owl looks a bit odd on Martel's... Kirlinator (talk) 02:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Wiess College

Thanks for your many contributions to the Rice residential colleges article. There seems to be another editor who frequently undercuts the article, and appears to be on a mission to target this particular article. I know we are supposed to assume good faith on the part of our fellow editors, but based on past behavior (the heavy-handedness of his judgments, the impatience of his timing, the arrogance and absolutism of his tone), I have my doubts. Any suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.155.226.3 (talk) 18:03, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

There unfortunately seems to be very little that can or will be done on an official level. The editor is very well established and is familiar with Wikipedia's many policies and guidelines. He does indeed seem to take particular issue with the amount of "original research" and "unencyclopedic content" in the Rice University articles; while I mostly sided with him on the issue of these articles being better suited to a list-type article, I do not side with him on his view that facts sourced from pages made by people affiliated with the university do not contribute positively and encyclopedically to the article. In your position, I would continue to work hard to cite the material within the article, and revert any edits you disagree with, giving a concise explanation as to why you believe the material should be left in. If you are reverting because another editor believes your sources are inadequate for the above reasons, I feel that you would have a great deal of support within the editing community. This issue is brought up periodically in the Universities Wikiproject, but always seems to flame out before a consensus can be reached. Given that there is no real agreement regarding the appropriateness of these citations, that much of what characterizes these residential colleges is unencyclopedic in "tone", and that bone-picking should *definitely* not be allowed, my advice is: keep on trucking, he *has* to get bored eventually. ;) AniRaptor2001 19:35, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
