| I got your message about moving it to a project page. Is there going to be a Wikiproject about quackery? The problem I have with it being moved to a project page is it makes it harder for users to find it. With the list as an article, you can find it with "search". You can also add it under "see also" on each of the articles, so if you get to one of the articles you can easily get to the rest. If it is in the project space, it doesn't show up in a search. You can have the template for the project, but it goes on the article's talk page, so a reader would have to go to the talk page and see the template to get to the list. I rarely do that except with a few projects that I'm in. OTOH, maybe it is time for a project on quackery - there is a category for wikipedians against quackery, etc. A formal project would be a good thing. ] ], 22:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == re List of articles related to quackery == | |||
| Yeah, I'm a little surprised by this, and no, I don't really get how BLP applies. Yes I guess it is kind of unprecedented, but I wouldn't halt it. I think it's reasonable for the people to review the deletion. How about if you rename it to "list of articles of interest to this project" or something? That might help. Over at my project, ] I have both a section named "internal links of possible interest" (which is a list of articles) and an ], which is also a list of articles. I find both useful. I certainly hope nobody decides they indicate a bias and are deletable. This whole thing is silly IMO. ] 03:17, 12 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| QG, I apologize for iterspersing my comments in your text on the deletion review talk page. I had never realized that it was unWikilike as Fyslee and I do it all the time, but I see how it can make things confusing. At first I did not realize why you were complaining, then Arthur set me straight. Now I understand. Please accept my sincere apology and know that I will never do that again. --] 03:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| I saw that you deleted an entry on the talk page by Kesh, saying that he is a troll. I do not believe he is a troll, so be careful with that. But I was going to make acomment back about his suggestion about putting it in a category. The mess before started because of a category. ] ], 23:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :: I hope so (about deleting it). These are related to scientific skepticism (as far as I've looked). You are right about the massive remodeling. A tremendous number of references! I have about 80 books on pseudoscience and rational skepticism, but you must be much more familiar with the references than I am. There was an arguement going on for a long time (it may still be going on) at ] about what is and is not pseudoscience. I know that Kesh has an opposing view, but I don't think is is a troll. ] ], 01:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

| I've nominated ], an article you created, for ]. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that ] satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "]" and the ]). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at ] and please be sure to ] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). You are free to edit the content of ] during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.<!-- Template:AFDWarning --> -- ] 01:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| I went a little further and nominated it for speedy deletion per ]. If you object, instructions for responding are found at the top of your article. <b><font color="006400">]</font></b> (<font size="1"><sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub></font>) 02:00, 1 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I had to go ahead and agree with User Simoes who hit the nail on the head. Also, I believe it is perfectly okay to delete warning templated off your own user talk space (as you have done with many a warning template now here), but please don't let it be an out of sight, out of mind thing. Those who have added these warning templates here have done so to help your conform to editing in a more agreeable way than you have been. I wonder now if this message will make the cut or it you will simply delete it too. ] 02:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
