User:Antandrus/observations on Wikipedia behavior[edit]

Nominator(s): Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?)

I am nominating this because I believe it is a useful and informative list which meets all of WP:FL?. Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 00:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This should be nominated for WP:AFD... KV5 (TalkPhils) 00:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delist/delete/strong something-or-other

  • It should begin "This is a list of observations on Wikipedia behavior" per usual standards. If not, it should begin "This is a timeline of the awards and nominations won by series 2 of the discography of the Nobel-laureate-winning USMA alumni of Jesus College, Oxford who were starting pitchers at third base for Aston Villa", which should ensure it gets enough support votes to pass.
  • Bullet numbers 11 to 71 inclusive (odd numbers only) should be in words, not figures, per MOS:MADEITUP
  • The list should be merged somewhere else, such as The O.C. (season 1)
  • It needs a proper Lead
  • Is William Blake a reliable source?
  • Needs some fair-use images to review.

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • Breaches MOS per WP:OVERLINK, I can't read the article for all the blue.
  • "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia." Doesn't have a source.
  • What makes the Bible a reliable source?
  • List is not sorted by alphabetic order of the second letter of the second word of the second line of each listed item.
  • Violates list naming conventions in lack of "List of" and should therefore be speedily deleted.
  • Entire list breaches the single most important policy on Wikipedia. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "As soon as someone attacks the community, or any portion of it, by writing a rant on their user page, Act V of their Wiki Tragedy has begun. It will end, inevitably, with their departure or expulsion from the project."
  • Too long; didn't read. Should be trimmed to no more than 50-75 letters; then we'll talk. Meanwhile, delete.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:02, April 1, 2009 (UTC)
  • Promote per No. 71 and AS A PROTEST AGAINST CENSORSHIP AND ADMINISTRATOR ABUSE. Actually, seriously, promote author to "featured contributor". --RobertGtalk 16:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
