Revision as of 07:52, 10 August 2010
A bit over a year ago, you commented in the afd discussion for Comparison of web based file managers. It was shortly thereafter reposted by its creator as List of web based file managers, which is currently on afd itself. I invite you to participate in the new discussion. —Korath (Talk) 18:43, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Norbert Basil MacLean III article
Peter: You just did some nice editing on the court-martial article -- one in which I attempted some clean up. Thank you for deleting and moving the info.
Given your interest in the subject (e.g., courts-martial in your neighbor to the south), I invite your attention to Norbert Basil MacLean III. This article, as I see it, is a vanity piece developed to praise MacLean and his efforts to promote a change in US law. One editor -- Mattwashdc -- is the (if not only) contributor to the article. For my part, I've tried to edit out misinformation and extensive POV. Also, I've initiated a GA relook on it and tagged it as COI and cherrypicked. (Moreover, more tagging is certainly justified.) Not only does the article fall below GA standards, MacLean himself is not notable. Finally, Mattwashdoc has put MacLean into several other articles to promote himself -- I mean, Maclean -- by means of multiple Wikipedia references.
But a second opinion is needed. (This is especially true because Mattwashdc has reverted some -- not all -- of my edits and tags without explanation.) With this in mind, I ask that you give a gander and your opinions.
Thank you so very much.--S. Rich 18:23, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- OK... I'll nibble a bit. It seems alot... OK... I'm a bit board recently with AFD so... I'll do some investigating. I'm confident of a neutral point of view. Don't be surprised if I don't find much wrong. The only thing so far regarding the article is that WP:OWN regulations are coming into play here. Pmedema (talk)
- Thanks so much. Actually there is a lot to chew on -- not just nibble. The history and talk pages give more details. But your suggestion regarding ownership is very interesting and helpful. My concern on this stemmed from reading & revising articles on courts-martial. I came across this, which is MacLean's personal effort to make changes in the law. But his contributions really aren't that much in my opinion. Your take on these issues, limited or expansive, is appreciated.--S. Rich 21:22, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
If someone is reading my notes here... they are only notes. Please do not draw any conclusions about them... they are only quick thoughts.
