[edit] Suggested move
This article should be renamed to "grid.org" (which is currently just a redirect here), and then "United Devices Cancer Research Project" can redirect to it. This will allow the new grid.org article to be expanded to discuss all of the projects that grid.org has done, and not just the Cancer project: cancer, rosetta, anthrax, smallbox, hmmer, webload. The rename will also correspond better with the initiative that the Polish wikipedia has started pl:Grid.org -- Bovineone 18:45, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've removed the notice of your RM and the template here. This is not a self-evident move as far as I can tell. Please let some time pass to allow people to notice the page and respond to your suggestions before posting a request at WP:RM. You should try to build consensus for your move before requesting a move. I also can't see any actual argumentation as to why the name should be changed either in the article or in your motivation. That you want to expand the article is not a reason to move it. To me it seems as if the current title is the appropriate one.

- It seems to me that this is an explanation: "This will allow the new grid.org article to be expanded to discuss all of the projects that grid.org has done, and not just the Cancer project: cancer, rosetta, anthrax, smallbox, hmmer, webload. The rename will also correspond better with the initiative that the Polish wikipedia has started". I don't think the WP:RM it should have been removed.

- I've added basic sections to the current page, describing some of the other projects so that it will be more obvious that the page should not be limited to just the Cancer Research Project. Hopefully others can help contribute more details to the article. If you have an opinion on the decision to rename this article to "grid.org" and make "United Devices Cancer Research Project" a redirect, please preceed your comment with Support or Oppose. -- Bovineone 19:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Advocacy
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place for advocacy. Discussions about the current up-to-the-minute state of the United Devices research projects are best held in other places, such as discussion forums or a blog. The Wikipedia content should deal with verifiable facts. The recent modifications by MoonFlute [1] do not appear to be directed toward improving Wikipedia in good faith. I tried to distill the long quotations repeatedly provided by MoonFlute into statements that should be readily verifiable [2], but my changes were once again reverted to the long quotations from the grid.org forum. I will revert yet again and see what happens. --Ghewgill 10:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
