[edit] The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia

A tag has been placed on The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Damien Hirsch

A tag has been placed on Damien Hirsch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 14:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anthropology

Good work on your recent edits to anthropology of religion; I was passing through that article (as well as other articles) a month or so ago to tag them for WikiProject Anthropology, and I found it to be in a somewhat depressing state, so it's great that somebody's taking an interest and improving it. I don't know if you've considered joining WikiProject Anthropology? We collaborate on anthropology articles, and generally flag up issues of concern for people interested in the coverage of anthropology on Wikipedia. Our current collaboration of the month is kinship, which in fact includes a reference to Malinowski's Sexual Life of Savages, which I see you've created an article for. Anyway, keep up the good work.

[edit] Kinship

Please check the page numbers you are using - I am referring to the original 1929 edition; I have double checked and the page numbers you are giving are not the same as that edition. Perhaps you are using a later copy? I would prefer to use the Wikipedia:Citation templates as I feel they are a lot neater, however, I think it would be worth discussing this on Talk:Kinship to try and create a consensus.

[edit] Variation on a theme

You say this is a "fundamental aspect in art history"; why then are your examples literature based? are there any art examples you could include instead? Ironholds (talk) 20:01, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] English 101

What is wrong with this sentence:

"The Parts That Were Left Out of the Kennedy Book is a satirical article by Paul Krassner, often considered is most successful prank."

And this one:

"Shortly after the death, satirist Paul Krassner published a cartoon illustration, portraying the liberated behavior of the Disney characters, titled The Disneyland Memorial Orgy."

???? IP4240207xx (talk) 20:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Nope, you missed it:

Try just this part: "Shortly after the death, satirist Paul Krassner"

People here in Birmingham say it's fine, maybe because they're on acid. --Sum

Alright, I'll try to help you. Is your handle self-descriptive?

The first one:

"The Parts That Were Left Out of the Kennedy Book is a satirical article by Paul Krassner, often considered is most successful prank."

Should be: 'his'

The second one:

"Shortly after the death, satirist Paul Krassner..."

The death of whom or what? The death of the Krassner? Of the ID? Of the sun?

"Shortly after the death of Walt Disney, satirist Paul Krassner..."

"Shortly after Walt Disney's death, satirist Paul Krassner..."

I'll be in my office grading papers throughout the day. Where is my red pencil? IP4240207xx (talk) 20:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] May 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to 2008 Andean diplomatic crisis appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. I may agree with a lot of what you edited. But your sources are unreliable and the way you write it looks like NPOV.
