[edit] The Group (society)

• Delete per nom -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 03:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The person who wrote this article should have used {{inuse}} instead of saying "Coming Soon" under every section. IMHO, people should understand the MoS and commonly used templates before attempting to start an article. Royboycrashfan 03:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Note: nn and vanity, but it's unreasonable to expect every editor to familiarize themselves with the style guide before beginning an article. One of the nifty things about Wikipedia is how articles can start out a lowly (but promising) mess and be redeemed by community effort. I wouldn't be too hard on an editor for not knowing every intricacy of style here :) Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 04:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)'

• Wikipedians should at least be familiar with the formal tone before making such major edits, otherwise their edits may not be accepted well. Plus, there's Articles for Creation. Royboycrashfan 04:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• I agree that formal tone and writing skills are important. Newer users might not know about AfC, though :) Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 05:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• {{inuse}} would be quite inappropriate. That means "please don't edit, I'm working on this page right now and I don't want an edit conflict". I use it if I'm doing a major rehaul or a merge. --kingboyk 03:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC) P.S. I didn't know about {{tl}} and had been using <nowiki>, so thanks for the heads up! :)
