[edit] Copywriter's League

Thank you for the encouragement and invitation. Indeed, I have not eaten everything from my plate; for I have a university exam Monday. I will, however, add my name to your League's register. Once your project is active, I shall likely encounter more pages like Canadian Literature, Chinese armies in the Second Sino-Japanese War, History of Money, and Aduthurai, in which I have had to translate a whole article from very poor English. I am most proud of Mantua, an article I have become very fond of. Rintrah 13:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-notable school deletions

I have been actively involved recently in tagging non-notable schools for deletions. Before you decide to complain/flame me for this, I ask that you consider the merits of your article in relation to the Wikipedia policies on notability. The work I am doing there is not personal, I don't get any big thrill out of getting rid of the article that you worked so hard on, I simply am attempting to uphold the Wiki policies that are already in place. Trusilver 18:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I feel the same way. I still give some articles more benefit of the doubt than I should. I found, while going through the Dead End pages, many vanity or non-notable people and places. As you say, it's not about judging the value/nonvalue of the subject but whether it fits under Wikipedia policies. --Pigman (talk • contribs) 02:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the Copyediting Welcome!

I'm looking forward to working with the League of Copyeditors. It's a niche I think fits me. --Pigman (talk • contribs) 02:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing delete tags

It would be apprecitated if you would adhere to Wikipedia policy concerning the contest of deletion. Please use the talk page to explain and discuss removal of delete tags so that a consensus can be reached rather than arbitrarily removing tags without comment. I personally would like to see every single school that has ever been constructed in the entire span of human history to have an article. However, Wikipedia has specific guidelines for notability and neither of our personal opinions count on that matter. Thank you!Trusilver 20:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Disregard this, I could have sworn that I had I had afd1'd both of those articles, but it turns out I had only labeled them as proposals for deletion. The error has been corrected, please stop back by both of them and give your input on these two schools.Trusilver 22:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I have read the policy regarding prod on the Wikipedia:Proposed deletion, and it appears I am well within my rights ro remove a prod tag without providing an explanation on the talk page. Also I think your statement regarding the importance of our personal opinions on the matter of notability is patently false. I'm certainly allowed to have an opinion on whether an article meets the WP:N. :-) — RJH (talk) 17:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyediting

Hi, I was wondering whether you had a suggested procedure for nominating an article for copyediting. I am in the curious position of working on both a book and the occasional article in wikipedia. While I go over some of these larger edits here, I find after re-reviewing them some weeks later that the tone was wrong, or was engaging (or tenses were wrong), among other things. I don't really think street racing is seriously bad, per se, but I'd like it if somebody else could look over it and catch the mistakes I made as I rebuilt it a little while ago. ... aa:talk 21:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] inclusion of the article in its entirety?

Hi, Trusilver. While I'm not really a proponent per se of street racing, I am puzzled by your suggestion that the article not be included. I can only think that you intend to salt it...? It seems to me that it is "notable" enough, well documented (there are at least a dozen sources in the article, at least one of which is from a police department), and in fact the precursor to many current, legal racing, such as funny cars.

I'd welcome an opportunity to work with you to improve it, but please understand I have no real allegiance to the article, I'd just rather it didn't suck. It was my feeling that this sequence of edits vastly improved the quality of the article. Initially, I was concerned that it would be impossible to cite most of the things mentioned in the article, but was pleased to find that it's a well documented phenomenon (which is not to say I am pleased it occurs, but rather that it is documented for the sake of the article).

cheers, ... aa:talk 16:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi Trusilver. I haven't heard anything from you in a while; I guess you are on holidays. Your wiki-project, the League of Copyeditors, is flourishing, as you can probably see on the page. Anyway, enjoy your holidays (which I assume you are on). Rintrah 09:03, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
