[edit] Greetings from Smiloid

Yes! You are correct in your intentions of having the tarot card games treating in a similar fashion as rummy and other games. There is a systemic bias at Wikipedia regarding the subject of tarot. The players of these games, as well as games in general, are outnumbered by those who have no other context of tarot besides its occult uses. Thanks for being supportive of my efforts. Yes, the article currently entitled "Tarot" should indeed be re-directed to "Divinatory tarot" or "Tarot (divination). You might want to go to the talk page of that article and also express your concerns there. Perhaps in the near future more Wikipedians will come over to this understanding and another vote can be taken on the issue. It wasn't so long ago that I was a Wiki newbie. I still am to some degree. I have found that the "Show preview" function is the newbie's best friend. So "be bold" as they say, and edit away without fear as that preview function will be your safety net.

Please go the talk page of the tarot article and express your concerns over the Anglo-American biases.Smiloid 01:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] tags

It seems that a user Surturs has removed some of our tags and archived the discussion. This user also made some unproductive edits which I've reverted Smiloid 09:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion template

The one that starts with {{{3|'''Delete''', are part of the substituted template when you start a category for deletion (i.e. {{subst:cfd}}). All other comments should ideally start with a bullet. I'll fix the formatting in the discussion. Regards, -- Jeff3000 00:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for deletion (all articles for single cards in the "minor arcana"

I've recently nominated all those roughly 56 articles! Talk about a major undertaking for the minor arcana, lol Smiloid 07:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tarot Major Arcana

Hi there,

Just wanted to give you the heads-up that I've taken off the noncompliant tags from the Major Arcana articles. I agree with the points you made about them needing improvement, but feel that template was a too extreme, and have changed it to a clean-up request. As the articles are so similar, I suggest we discuss how to proceed with improving these articles at Talk:Major Arcana. Hope to see you there!

[edit] about your comment about List of Bahá'ís

Per Talk:Bahá'í Faith#List of Baha'is I've reverted the mass edit out and commented that the as a general statement all these entries are sourced on their respective pages. I don't see any rule they must be sourced on the lists itself. I don't see any discussion of this issue of how things are sourced on the referenced Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Christians (2nd nomination) - additionally I don't see citation done everywhere else (I know the article about Christians suggested that this would be a start of a whole wave of changes.) See for example - United Nations member states?? No or almost no citations there. I'd appreciate your thoughts.--Smkolins (talk) 12:25, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
