[edit] AfD, Eric Goertz
Sarg- This is the author of the Eric Goertz article. Like I said, it is a notable case that even surpasses that of Borf's. If you are not familiar with his artwork, crimes, and media coverage please look him up. I realize that my article needs editing, I'm new to wikipedia. I like your article about the prisons of Phnom Phen and the reason I wrote my article is because there aren't enough speculations on heinous acts these days. Would you shoot an artist? Thank you, MPearl.
- Hi! First of all, I recommend you to sign your comments by writing ~~~~ at the end of the paragraph :) About the article, I suggest you to work a bit more on it, specially trying to remove as much subjective point of view from it as possible, and trying to better assert its notability (in case it actually has, of which, I'm sorry to say, I'm not so sure). I'm willing to change my vote if these two points are addressed :) Sarg 07:40, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the tips, I edited according to your suggestions. I'm not sure how to post the corresponding pictures though. The newspapers used stock photos from before the case was even started, so I won't be posting those. It's the kind of case that if you are part of an art subculture, or the general population from Stuart, FL to Miami, FL, ((not a "secret society" but an art movement)) you would have heard about immediately, so I don't blame you. This is why I wanted to write about it. Mpearl 08:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- If the photos can't be released under GFDL, I think they can't be used at all in WP. As for the article, you'll still need to work a bit more on it. Take the Borf article as an example :) Sarg 08:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Question, why can't they be released under GFDL? Would I need a consent form or something? I am not good with all of the fancy HTML that is the problem (if I knew how I would break up the article in the subcategories like the Borf article).
- If I understand properly, only the author of a photo can release it under a GFDL. As for the HTML, I recommend copying directly the format of the Borf article. That's exactly how I started :) Sarg 08:42, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA
Please read WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. Try and not to make personal attacks in your edits. Moe ε 23:00, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. ccwaters 22:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree. This kind of behaviour is not acceptable. We are trying to discuss the issue in a polite and civilized manner. I beg of you to contribute to the respectful atmosphere of Wikipedia by putting aside personal attacks and acting in a civil way. Thanks! Sarg 00:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
La La La This is my page with my reporting on a mainstream event that victimized a participant in a VERY IMPORTANT SUBCULTURE! GO AWAY unless you have something AMAZING to say!
