[edit] Spoken Wikipedia template
I noticed you mass-changing featured articles to move the spoken template to the top of articles. This is blatantly unacceptable, and as such I have reverted. Suffice it to say, the people who decided to put it at the top of all articles where flatly wrong. It goes with the sister project templates in the external links section.

- (Left this msg on your talk page also): I am trying to standardize all the spoken articles and their talk pages - the policy is to add the template to the tops of article pages: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spoken_Wikipedia#Templates_for_articles. Would you be willing to revert the articles back or should I? Thanks Athf1234 19:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- The policy is flatly wrong. The people on a particular wiki-project cannot decide that their template takes priority over all the other content in articles. As I said before, the standard is to put it in the external links. I have updated the Wikiproject page to reflect this. Raul654 00:50, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- This is the standard for sister projects, where is the rule that says individual project templates go in external links? There are probably hundreds of WikiProject templates that not only don't go in external links but would look silly there. There are lots of WikiProject templates that always go at the very bottom of the page, usually beneath references which tends to come last. There are others, like infoboxes that go at the top. There was a good reason for choosing this location, one which should shortly once again become redundant and the subsequent changes shouldn't matter. As far as I can see the only actual reason given for changing it is an argument from authority, and appeal to elusive rules. Joe D (t) 02:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- P.S., sorry for using your talk page to argue about this ;)

[edit] Request for a recording
I would like to place a request for a recording of the Ohio Wesleyan University page. Who can I turn to? Thank you! WikiprojectOWU 03:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
