Revision as of 05:59, 20 May 2010
CSD/AFD-tagged articles
Please don't add subsequent tags to CSD/AFD nominated articles such as you did with orphan tags here and here. Editors have reviewed these articles and nominated for them for one of the categories of deletion. Adding orphan tags does not help mend their particular issues and may only confuse the authors and new contributors. Thanks. Plutonium27 (talk) 07:49, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
OK. Marokwitz (talk) 08:01, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Orphan Tag
I was just thinking that the orphan tag you put on the List of tribology organizations page should be a different tag. The page is in the process of development, as well as the relating pages. An 'under construction' tag might be a better tag. I was going to put one on, but I am pretty new to this, and so wasn't sure how to add a tag. The particular page isn't yet so wonderful, but the tribology page linking to it was starting to get cluttered with research groups trying to get their name known. The end goal is something like nanotechnology.

Great, thank you, gregzore
I will remove orphan tag from my article, because this: we don't know everything about ancient peoples. We usually knows their parentage, or their spuses and children, but we don't know anything else. Kagemi the vizier is an example. By--Mychele Trempetich (talk) 07:57, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
- Mychele, I think you misunderstood the meaning of this tag. It doesn't mean that the subject of the article was actually an Orphan. It means that the article is not linked to from other articles in Wikipedia. Marokwitz (talk) 09:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
I removed the prod after sourcing it and explaining its notability as a Top-40 single. Bearian (talk) 21:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Peacockery
Hello. I reinstated the word "prolific" in the Kevin Phillips (footballer) article, and will do so again, because it's an accurate description of the nature of his goalscoring while with Sunderland A.F.C. which he did not reproduce with his next club. He scored goals, but failed to score goals "prolifically". There are a quite a lot of things that need cleaning up in that article – it's somewhere on my increasingly-long mental list of things to do – but removing that particular use of the word "prolific", thereby losing the gist of the sentence, isn't one of them. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:11, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
At the Raith Rovers article the term legendary may not sufficiently explain the character of Jim Baxter's status but is not really a peacock term if you follow the link. Sources there would be supportive. Replacing the term with simply successful isn't really sufficient. However I've changed the wording to "later to be regarded by some as Scotland’s greatest ever football player", again supported at the main article. Hope that meets your approval. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:02, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Mutt, thanks for letting me know. "By some" is a weasel word. See WP:WEASEL. In my view such wording is inappropriate for Wikipedia, or at least requires a citation or direct quotation. For now I added an appropriate tag. Marokwitz (talk) 04:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
See the cited quote in the first para of this section of the main article: Jim_Baxter#Legacy. Mutt Lunker (talk) 09:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
