[edit] Peer review

I have requested that the FSU article be peer reviewed to help ensure it meets the highest standards of Wikipedia.Sirberus 13:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for being unable to help with the overhaul as I have been extremely busy at work. I would like to congratulate you on doing such a wonderful job as I know that the reworking (especially the referencing) had to be a task of biblical proportions. To make it up to you I will give a much needed overhaul of the Spanish-language FSU entry in the future. ¿Esta bien? Mike850 00:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Florida State University GA Review

I will be happy to review Florida State University for GA status. Majoreditor 14:28, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Post a note on my talk page once the article is nominated and I will start the review. Thanks. Majoreditor 14:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
I selected the article and am beginning the review. Majoreditor 15:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
The article is looking good; I will try to complete my review tomorrow. Majoreditor 02:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations, Florida State University has passed GA Review. The article has room for improvement -- see my comments on the talk page -- but has benefited from your many helpful contributions. Keep up the good work. Majoreditor 03:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

This user helped to make Florida State University a good article.

[edit] Changes

I've been through FAC a couple times, so as soon as I saw the state of Florida State University, I went through it and fixed several, several problems. I have no idea how the article managed to get GA in the state it was in, but it's somewhat worthy of its rating now. It could still use some better prose, and certain sections need references. If you have any questions about the changes, leave me a message. Oh, by the way, I also categorized all FSU images I came across into Category:Florida State University. Ideally, all of the free ones will be moved to commons:Category:Florida State University at some point. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 22:26, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Narcomey

I was developing the article on David Narcomey and unfortunately you deleted it.

Narcomey is important as he is a central figure in the FSU American Indian controversy and is quoted a number of times in articles on the subject in Wikipedia.

I believe that someone so instrumental in a controversy should have some background information available (i.e. an article), especially one so in the forefront of a sensitive matter. Such material helps the reader establish the relevance of the person in the controversy which leads to better interpretation of the controversy. I plan to further develop the article with sourced materials.

Would you kindly undelete the article?Sirberus (talk) 21:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you please explain which of the criteria at WP:BIO he meets? Please also note WP:BLP1E. Stifle (talk) 21:30, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
If you consider these criteria on WP:BIO I believe Narcomey is sufficiently notable to warrant an article in Wikipedia:
Basic criteria> Any biography > Narcomey has been mentioned in numerous articles as having made widely recognized contributions to his field, in this case to discrimination events concerning American Indians. He has been quoted multiple times in many articles on many different events, including the controversy at Florida State University. I can list the articles if you want, but a Google search produces a fair number of individual articles wherein Narcomey is mentioned and/or quoted. Narcomey is apparently held by the media at large to be a reliable source of information such that his coverage spans years, multiple media sources and events. Clearly, Narcomey is mentioned in many different articles that are independent of him, verifiable and reliable.
A weakness to my argument is that Narcomey has yet to be found to be the subject of a published writing, but I believe this may be overcome by the fact that without Narcomey and his remarks there would be little of interest in the matter covered that is the subject of the original writing. In other words Narcomey is apparently regarded by multiple, independent media writers to be intimately integral to the subject of discrimination and American Indians. To not include Narcomey in his own right would be like saying Malcolm X was unworthy of his own Wikipedia article during the time of his most active work in the area of race relations, simply because no one had yet put pen to paper and created the work.

A further thought is to simply make the page the page a stub for now. Sirberus (talk) 01:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and restore the article and AFD it. Stifle (talk) 14:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Fair enough. Thanks. Sirberus (talk) 16:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
