Talk:Filterset.G

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on 6/21/2007. The result of the discussion was No consensus.

I know this is not very notable, but I feel it belongs here. I heard filterset.g mentioned in an adblocking discussion without giving any reference. So I went to Wikipedia and were dissappointed I couldn't find an article about it. -- 213.67.47.131 11:21, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The proper name is "Filterset.G", not "Filterset.g"; the "G" should always be capitalized.

Moved, thanks. -- Naive cynic 22:27, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Period

The period does go inside the quotation mark, but it doesn't really matter.—Sixteen Left 00:39, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Names

In case anyone is wondering where the name "Graham Pierce" comes from, it's on the "Important Notice!" that shows up the first time you run Filterset.G Updater. It also mentions developers Michael McDonald and Reid Rankin. æle ✆ 15:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge

It seems inappropriate to merge this page to Adblock. Filterset.G is a common set of rules used for Adblock but is not necessarily part of Adblock (users can use other rules) nor is it affiliated. I've removed the merge template. Twinxor t 22:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] delete

this ain't notable folks. someone delete it please —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 222.155.208.49 (talk) 00:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC).

An assertion from a random IP address by someone who won't even sign their post themselves... Sorry, but I disagree; the article stays unless you can give a better argument. -- Limulus 09:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion re: Notability

Notability is asserted: "the first major filter list available for Adblock", also ongoing conflict (non-compatibility with most current Adblock Plus, currently the 2nd most popular Fx extension). Sufficient? Mr. Bene 19:18, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I've removed the deletion request. Clearly, this topic is notable to somebody.Larry 10:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why does this page exist?

It seems like nothing but a chance for FiltersetG + Adblock plus creators to snark at each other in the Criticism section. The entire article seems to have left behind the NPOV concept. What value does this article add? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.27.158 (talk) 22:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree - having my blog post quoted here as the ultimate wisdom certainly wasn't my idea. I was simply disappointed with the way Wikipedia was misused. Also, the "snarking" is very old, Adblock Plus and Filterset.G simply go separate ways - and have been for a long time already. —Wladimir Palant, 16 April 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.61.171.11 (talk) 14:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
