[edit] Animal Farm Quiz

not an article

  • Delete - not an article. It's a good idea, but move to wikibooks. Samw 22:01, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - appears to be a self-admitted copyvio of [1]. -- Jonel 03:10, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete- belongs in a different wikiproject, certainly. -- BDAbramson thimk 03:45, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
  • Delete - there isn't really a wikiproject it belongs to. ral315 04:12, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete -- not encyclopedic - Longhair | Talk 06:02, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • It's a nice idea, but not really a Wikipedia thing. Userfy? Grutness...wha? 06:31, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Userfy. The user who wrote this is totally free to create a proposal in the Wikipedia namespace or xir user space. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c ] 07:18, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • I've taken the liberty of userfying this, as it was clearly not an article. The page itself still has a redirect, which may need to be deleted. Mgm|(talk) 07:32, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • comment - I've seen mention of this page, by the creator of it, at one of the VP pages (proposals, I think) and the idea of userfication came up there, too. Grutness...wha?
  • Userfy. Megan1967 11:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Agree with the userfication. Samaritan 17:33, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm the creator of this quiz. I understand your objections. I published this quiz-experiment in Wikipedia, as there is no other wiki-project harboring quizzes up to now. My main objective of this publication was to try to start some creative exchange of ideas on adding quizzes to Wikipedia and creating a quiz template. By the way, could somebody explain to me what is meant by "userfication" and "userfy"? Fortinbras 18:46, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Sure. First, to see what's happened, click the above pagelink now (post-userfying) and then click the redirected link. The info in this article has been moved to a sub-page of your User page. (It would be a little clearer if you had something written on your User page.) This has been done as a polite way of saying, "Interesting idea, but not Wikipedia material." Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not just a community, so quizzes aren't really appropriate here, but should a wiki-project about quizzes be created, this would be a good addition. Moving the info to part of your User area allows you to keep it and work on it until you find someplace more appropriate to put it. Hope this helps. Soundguy99 19:12, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm not going to mark it as such because I assume there's a reason nobody else has, but this is a self-admitted copyvio of [2]. Nickptar 14:40, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
