[edit] Portmanteau words

Thank you for your comments. The issue is not one of google hits. It is that if everyone adds their favourite p. word the article gets out of hand. The purpose of the article is to define p. words - and to give perhaps one example of each type, to prenvet it straggling. If you want to have your favourite example up, I suggest you take the article List of portmanteau words (currently erroneously used as a redirect) and adpat it to make it a genuine list for yourslef and anyone else to put up their favourites. Best regards, Smerus (talk) 06:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


Thanks for your further comments. I think the aspect of this which seems to interest you belongs in Supercouples, not in Portmanteau word. Why not write it up there, with a reference to Portmanteau word, rather than vice versa?? With best regards, Smerus (talk) 18:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Just click here on List of portmanteau words. At present it is a redirect. Delete the redirect and rewrite it as a list article with headers for different classes of portmanteau word. Then list the page as a 'see also' in the article Portmanteau word. Smerus (talk) 15:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Helpme (Closed)

{{helpme}}

It looks to me like the Disinfo page reads like an advertisement of a small company - although the entry has been around since 2007 or +. Do I recommend it for deletion or that it be cleaned up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by EBY3221 (talk • contribs)

I think cleanup tag is a more reasonable possibility considering the Webby Awards nomination. Not sure on where you could list this for wider community perspective, possibly the WP:VILLAGE, specifically the WP:VP/A page. Don't be shy on being WP:BOLD and cleaning it up a bit yourself.

[edit] Proposed deletion of Disinfo

I added a long series of profiles in major publications -- NYT, Red Herring, Village Voice -- I think it's pretty clear that it's a notable group. AaronSw (talk) 20:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks -- it's much, much improved now. AaronSw (talk) 17:49, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help Me, Please

{{helpme}} The Rupert Hoogewerf article did not look notable (but did look like an autobiography without cites) to me, so I proposed it for (non-Speedy) deletion. Followed the steps at [[1]] to tag article and open discussion on talk page. HOWEVER, when following step 3: Notify users who monitor AfD discussion, a box saying this article had already been deleted (in 2006, Speedily) popped up over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2008 June 10 and NOT the usual discussion/vote template. Yet, the article is still there. So...Is there a remedy I could apply, or is this how it supposed to be? EBY3221 16:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

  • The article was deleted in 2006 and then re-created. In cases like that, if you want to make a new AfD, you have to put (2nd nomination) in the name. I fixed this for you. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 16:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!!EBY3221 16:52, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

  • You're welcome. You might also want to fix your signature so it actually links to your talk page (also, new posts in a talk page go to the bottom). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

No problems, Just remember that such templates always go on the talk page of the particular page. Around The GlobeContact 17:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Todd Bentley

Your rewrite is a great improvement, both to language and POV. One adjustment I suggest: Responding to Randy Clark, you say "Bentley doesn't share that concern" as though Randy Clark IS INDEED concerned. However, Clark often "preaches" in attire similar to Bentley's. In fact, I have heard Randy say directly to Todd, "People say that they can't trust those evangelists in their $5000 suits. Well, Todd, they can't say that about you!" Evaluist (talk) 20:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
