| David, you are incorrect. You have made three reverts, I have merely made one. My first series of edits do not count as a revert, the only edit on my part that counts as a revert is my final edit. You are likely to breach ]. Kindly stop reverting the guideline. ] <small>]</small> 13:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : No. Reverting means "undoing the actions of another editor or other editors in whole or part". You have done that three times today with regard to adding back in the how to link section that I separated out weeks ago. You have done other stuff as well, but putting that section back three times is what I am talking about. ] 13:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *David, I am well versed in the ]. I am clear in my mind what my actions represent. Note that even by your count I was at two reversions, whilst you sit at three. | |||
| *Furthermore, have a look at ]. You don't get to decide what version of that page is correct, which your actions seem to suggest you are doing. I already initiated talk page discussion after I made my changes. You reverted me twice with no discussion, and seem unable to assume good faith in my edits. As an admin I am walking away from this issue, but I have requested more people look at the issue. I believe you need to act less territorially over pages and not engage in ]. The ] is not a limit nor a game. If you need to revert more than once there is a problem which needs to be discussed rather than reverted. You seem incapable of doing so, so I bid you farewell. ] <small>]</small> 13:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Here's the ], where it did appear that the consensus was that the best course of action was to merge and redirect. There are no "hard" rules on such things, but generally it's frowned upon to recreate material merged as decided at AfD. I can understand why people wanted to merge-it appears unlikely that a very comprehensive article could be written on the newspaper from the sources available. Of course, if you can find some additional sourcing, the article may indeed prove viable in the future. Some other things to consider: | |||
| *If a page is growing too long, try to consider cutting and condensing before splitting. Generally, when a page starts getting quite long, it's possible to trim some original research, synthesis, and overly detailed sections. In the "School colors and mascot" section, there's quite a bit that looks like speculation ("possible that" and the like without attributing that speculation to someone), some other unsourced claims ("oldest extant observatory", "oldest alumni association", "wealthiest in the United States") that need sourcing or removal, and the "Recent Events" section looks a bit overly detailed. | |||
| *If the alumni association and observatory really are the oldest of their kinds in the US, they actually might have enough source material on them to support a comprehensive article. You certainly may wish to look into those. | |||
| *We generally discourage the use of "In fiction" or "In popular culture" sections, so that could probably be cut entirely. | |||
| Hope some of that helps! I've done some trimming and sourcing work with other articles, so if you'd like a hand with it, please let me know! ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 09:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC) | |||

The Early Admissions Game: Joining the Elite
Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article The Early Admissions Game: Joining the Elite, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
