AfD nomination of Northwest Migration[edit]

I have nominated Northwest Migration, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Northwest Migration. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Mosmof (talk) 13:17, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for controversial content about living people must be held to the highest standard. MPP does not appear to be a neutral 3rd party that has a reputation for accuracy and fact checking that we would allow to be used as a source for the information you have been trying to include in the article. -- The Red Pen of Doom 19:05, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Harold Covington[edit]

You had pasted in a large chunk of source material.[1] If the source material were in the public domain then Wikisource would be the right place for it. But not a Wikipedia article. I summarized what appeared to me to the be the main points: The consitution calls for "whites only country", excluding Jews, with a dictatorial, one party state governed by a president with almost unlimited powers.[2] That summary certainly doesn't whitewash the document. Is there an important detail that is missing? Is there a certain phrase that's so important it should be quoted verbatim? If so then fix it. But the material should be kept short. It's always dangerous to work from primary sources, and it's not clear how important this document is anyway.   Will Beback  talk  18:11, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry[edit]

Sorry, I didn't clarify it well enough. I wasn't referring to a style guideline. I was actually suggesting to look at the various articles under that project. Look especially at featured articles and good articles, which reflect the articles at least at near the ideal. They all use present tense. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
