== Expand tag on Encyclopedia Dramatica ==

Hi. I noticed that you added an "expand" tag to the ED article. Do we really want to encourage people to expand the article? ideally, we do, but right now I think that the article includes all the sourced content that it's going to get from the sources citing ED which have been published, and any content that isn't sourced is being swiftly removed. For example, I put what is supposedly the site creator's real name (Sherrod Degrippo) in the article without a source, but this was quickly removed. So until further sources are published mentioning ED, I'm not sure if we need to be encouraging editors to expand upon it.--] ] 20:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You could certainly change the article to one about the album as long as it's notability itself. How the disambiguation is handled would depend entirely on how popular both are. A decision would have to be made on what is the most likely intention of a search for that term, the beach boys song or the country album. --<span style="color:black; background: white; border: 1.5pt dotted black; padding: 0pt 4pt;">neon white</span><small> ]</small> 21:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

== We should probably talk about this ==

Because it could, potentially, result in the deletion of literally dozens of articles I've worked on. Has there been some sort of movement to strip charting albums from the kinds of things we look for in determining notability? That worries me terribly, because charting an album is no mean feat, even on the satellite genre-specific charts, and is really an ironclad indicator of a group's widespread popularity. What do you think about this? I'd like to have an honest talk about it before it turns into an AfD battle. I'm so sick of fighting with people over notability issues here. ] (]) 19:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:The album charts are keyed to a reliable source and are consistent with ]. Album and single charts are published by the same people, so I don't see why they ought to be treated differently.

If you'll forgive me for philosophizing a bit on your talk page, what depresses me here is that the fact that the albums charted is a clear indication that a lot of people care about this music, that it has a legitimate claim to permanence, and yet I still can't find a soul who agrees with me that it should be here. (For what it's worth, I wish you cared as much about underground hip-hop as you do about country and Americana, because then we'd have a ton more decent articles about it.) We have moved far beyond scuttling the bar bands and self-promotional garbage that used to be (and, of course, still are, in part) the main targets of AfD and A7, and are pinging off, at an alarming rate, groups which achieved significant, even if brief, levels of exposure. (And the briefness, of course, isn't an argument against permanence; any one-hit wonder ought to be covered here just as much as a regular hitmaker...right?) I've written a ton of articles on bands ''simply because they charted'', and I don't write articles I don't think aren't going to be here in 50 years. If the wind is blowing the other way, I want to know as soon as possible so I stop wasting my time.

I don't know. I just wish my interactions with people here consisted of more than just angry disputes over the inherent worth of popular music. ] (]) 20:20, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

== Why - Allegations of Israeli Apartheid? ==

I know I'm doing it wrong, but I'm asking another user to help me. I had trouble using the right pages as the article was nominated before (which an overwhelming delete support). I don't understand why wikipedia is hosting a propaganda piece that is FAR from neutral. No one has made an attempt to clean it up (it's kinda hard to considering the source material) which is why I feel it is a strong candidate for deletion. ] (]) 22:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)thanks for any help!
::The sources are FAR from reliable, as demonstrated by the overwhelming support for its deletion. It draws from highly biased sources (like Uri Avnery) throughout the article. It's politically motivated and not right for wikipedia. You wouldn't find this in any Encyclopedia. Now, if you can find some people who are willing to correct the article, then fine. But until then, it needs to go.
] (]) 22:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

== I disagree ==

I disagree. The article has been around for more than a year, has gone through several nomination proceeses, and yet still fails to deliver the political balance (a.k.a neutrality) necessary to be hosted on wikipedia. I've tried taking a stab at editing, but the source material is just too hard to work with. It would take a total re-write to fix. The last deletion process had an overwhelming majority for DELETE, yet it still remains. I'm not familiar with the process but I'm sure there was a good reason why it stayed...but that was in 2007. Anyways, I, and many others would like to see the article gone. Propaganda is not something that should be on wikipedia. I hope that you agree. thanks for the fast response! ] (]) 01:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I've been editing for more than 6 months (fixing typos, helping stubs, etc..). It's only recently that I've registered a name. I'm honestly shocked that this article is being allocated bandwith. It's insulting. Propaganda should never be part of an encyclopedia like wikipedia. You would never find that article in britannica. ] (]) 01:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::I've done that. This all boils down to keeping a propaganda piece, or deleting it. Yes there is potential to clean, but so far no one has made an attempt. And I can't do because I'm not neutral. And I know the original authors weren't either. This article was started with bias and has ended in bias. I can't think of any reasons why it should stay other than the possibility of cleaning it, which isn't going to happen any time soon. So, if you can find someone who is willing to clean it, please let me know. For now I will continue my search to get rid of this article. ] (]) 01:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== IMAGES ==

Ten, I'm assuming you answered the private e-mail on my user talk because you want members to discuss the issue as the Democratic principles of Misplaced Pages encourage. When other images were uploaded, not to the article, they were deleted within 5 minutes so no other users could offer an opinion. I know your opinion, but I have not seen anyone else weigh in except the WikipediA Administrator who posted the images already in the Article with the tag he deemed appropriate. He has been away for a while now, and not knowing how to post thumbnails myself, they won't be until the members decide by discussion.

Private e-mail:
"After the deep shit I got in uploading those last images, I don't want to do that again. I'm attaching two images I would like you to examine closely. I believe they can be posted to the article with this tag: http://en.wikipedia.org/Template:Non-free_historic_image. If you agree, you would make me so happy to check the article and see them posted as thumbs in a spot you think best. Please!"

Since Misplaced Pages users cannot see the scans for the discussion, I trust they are astute enough, in reading the article to decide whether the images related to references 5, 6 & 8 should be seen to add understanding and perspective to the reader. By going to history a user can see for themselves the images and tag removed by the image removal bot.

Hi Hammer,
