[edit] Conclusion: Image placeholders centralized discussion

Hi. I'm sending this to you because you participated in the Centralized discussion on image placeholders that ended on 23 April.

That discussion must produce a conclusion.

We originally asked "Should the addition of this box [example right] be allowed? Does the placeholder system and graphic image need to be improved to satisfy policies and guidelines for inclusion? Is it appropriate to some kinds of biographies, but not to others?" (See introduction).

Conclusions to centralized discussions are either marked as 'policy', 'guideline', 'endorsed', 'rejected', 'no consensus', or 'no change' etc. We should now decide for this discussion.

Please read and approve or disapprove the section here: Conclusion --Kleinzach (talk) 10:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Please note this message conforms to WP:CANVASSING and has not been sent to anyone has not already participated in the centralized discussion.

[edit] WP:PROF revision suggestion

I am trying to "test the waters" to see if there is enough interest in revising WP:PROF to better reflect the arguments that are actually used in practice in academic-related AfDs. I've put a note about it at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics) with a somewhat more detailed explanation. There is also a link there to a possible draft of a revised version of WP:PROF, which is located in my sandbox, User:Nsk92/Sandbox3. Since you have participated in academic-related AfDs in the past, I'd like to hear your input about this idea, both in general and in terms of specifics. If you have some comments, please post them at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics). You are also welcome to edit User:Nsk92/Sandbox3 in the meantime. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 20:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Zealand Skeptics

I found a few articles mentioning the group. Do you think it passes the notability criteria now? There are probably more mentions of them elsewhere, as I only searched on the internet and briefly. Thought I would ask you as you added the tag. Richard001 (talk) 10:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry

Thank you, Espresso Addict, for reformatting the entry. I represent the publishers of this journal and wanted to correct some factual errors (and make a few additions) I had planned to insert new references and links later today. Some of the errors have been reinserted. If I send you a list of the problems, would you be willing to make the changes ? Yours, Siliqua. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siliqua (talk • contribs) 14:01, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seek Book on Former Long Hill Road, N.J., Bell Labs Neighbor Germer

Dr. and Mrs. Germer lived two houses away from ours on early 1950's Long Hill Road, N.J., when dad (Al Miller) worked for Bell Labs. I was a child, but remember Lestor well (tall and skinny to little me; he told me he flew for the French in WWI); he got irked at his sweet wife frequently, like when she gave me her son's reserve Navy officer uniforms to "play sailor" in, as the son wasn't useing them anymore. Long later, when I was a youth in N.C., three times dad explained the Germer experiment; but I could not grasp it. I'd like to read a biography book on Dr. Germer; is there one? One snowy day; dad, Dr. Germer, Dr. Shockley, and one or two other Germer Bell Labs friends, tried to ski on the Van Dyne farm behind our home. But the skiing physics didn't permit them, so they made a camp fire, made coffee, and chatted. A child knowing not to speak before adults, I sensed a respected talking order with Shockley at top (perhaps also from assertiveness) and Dr. Germer almost next (also assertive). Dad at the bottom talking order, mentioned (men in white coats is all I remember of them) in New York City said my learning problems came from polyps in my ears, and their massive x-ray radiation treatment should cure it. Loudly, assertively, Dr. Shockley said "I forbid that"; if dad let them (those quacks?) do that, I'd be an idiot in a mental hospital the rest of my life. I would not be able to (poorly) write this today except for Dr. Shockley forcefully "forbidding it"; and Germer and Shockley, with others; helping to make the computor transister possible. Feel free to erase; especially if a Germer Biography book title/author, is in it's place. Jim Miller, Southport, N.C.James A. Miller Jr. (talk) 05:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] need help with deleted article on Fly Communications

Below, I've commented twice on the possible deletion of the article on Fly Communications:

Hello, my name is Frank Farance (frank@farance.com) I've posted the article on Fly Communications because I've found the firm has an interesting take on the theory of combining direct marketing (which is very scientific, is measurable, and incorporates metrics) with branding (which is very emotional, hard to measure, and imprecise). This firm has been experimenting for 7 years and has produced good results with this kind of approach. Although Fly Communications is a practitioner of this kind of theory, any firm can be successful combining the two approaches. However, many firms *do not* choose such a strategy because they are comfortable with the existing scientific practice or they are comfortable with their existing emotional practice. The founders of the firm (Larry Rowen the direct marketing practitioner and Dave Warren the branding practitioner) conceived of this combination in 2001. Now 7 years later, after much successful experimentation, this can now be claimed as a successful practice. The history of the firm is important in understanding how the practitioners collaborate to make for a success effort. Finally, I am not an employee, I am not paid to write this article, and I have no financial interest in Fly Communications.

and its subsequent deletion:

I'm trying to get the article on Fly Communications published. I appreciate the idea that Wikipedia is not the place to advertise. However, how does one walk the fine line to report on progress in successful techniques of advertising. I think this kind of progress has important intellectual value, just as the recognition of how our individual tastes for "nostalgia" are cultivated ... yes, it only seems like advertisers use this "nostaglia" theory, but it does reflect something inherent in human nature. Likewise, the firm has successfully combined these two conflicting approaches (direct marketing, which involves a call-to-action, and branding, which involves an emotional connection). And I believe that Fly was one of the first firms to combine these successfully. Thus, I believe it is worthy of publication. Regarding, the idea that the article in question is "advertising" something, this is not the case. The article does not "advertise" any product or service, but the article is about the advertising industry and a company that has pioneered a particular approach. An easy way to demonstrate that this article is NOT advertising is to pretend the article were about a firm that were to pioneer the combination of baking soda (used by bakers) and vinegar (used by salad chefs) to produce a chemical result that could be used with childrens' Science Fair projects illustrating volcanoes and their lava flow. The fact that is has become popular does not diminish the experimentation and success with combining features of separate disciplines (bakers vs. salad chefs). Considering that the article is not intended to advertise, what kind of improvements do you suggest to make it suitable? Clearly, Wikipedia has articles on companies and other companies in the advertising industry ... maybe a little explanation of improvement would help me make the article suitable to Wikipedia standards. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

Could you E-mail me the deleted article? And could you give me some specific suggestions to improve the article, i.e., just don't point me to the "advertising" prohibition because I don't see this as advertising and product or service (or maybe you could explain which sentences are problematic).

Again, thanks in advance for your help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Farance (talk • contribs) 17:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
