Offhand, I can't think of any ordinary image that would be appropriate for Wikiquote that wouldn't be at least as appropriate for Wikipedia, so they should all be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons instead. Perhaps we should disable image uploading here? — Jeff Q (talk) 00:30, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) Comment: A proposal worthy to consider. French Wikipedia allows its editors to upload images copyrighted and never used on encyclopediac artices (and most of such images will decorate their user pages or talks). Unless we have a similar policy and have our own facebook, and unless we don't use fair use image, I think Jeff Q's idea ""upload disabled"" is very reasonable. Some projects which don't allow Fair Use images, like French Wikinews, make upload function disabled for your information. -- Aphaia 01:43, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) Delete.

As MosheZadka pointed out to me elsewhere, I did a very similar thing removing Painkiller Supreme's entry in the proposed QOTD list during its VfD. Furthermore, the deletion-process policy is for redirects only, not necessarily for related material. I plead guilty in inconsistent application of an unwritten policy that perhaps exists only in my own mind. My only defense is that, knowing I was possibly doing something controversial, I had offered to restore the P.S. quote myself if it survived VfD. But after this comeuppance, I think my P.S. action was probably too bold, in that it could have been construed as prejudicing the vote.

Wikiquote is, by its nature, a ""favorite quotes"" list; recent objections to ""favorite lists"" were more about the Favorites article that was slated for deletion and about personal lists that don't belong in main article space, whereas this is a properly sourced published list. In the U.S., copyright protects the presentation, arrangement, and supporting material of lists (i.e., the 3-hour program presenting the AFI list), but not the list itself, if it's based on an obvious order, like poll data (see Feist vs. Rural ); the EU's database rights law may or may not apply, and its sui generis rationale seems ambiguous in this situation, at least as presented in the WP article. Furthermore, this list is also available on Wikipedia , where basic lists of these types (i.e., produced within copyrighted programs) have apparently passed numerous deletion and copyvio tests. (See the WP village pump archive for the latest rehashing of this issue on other such lists.) This strikes me as an obvious article that I had expected someone to add within 24 hours of the program's broadcast (as it was) and would be an obvious thing for a reader to look up here. I say we keep it unless Wikipedia (which is much more likely to get this issue right) declares such lists as copyvios. — Jeff Q (talk) 23:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC) Keep . Nice links, thanks JeffQ. With regard to the copyvio issue, until a formal argument is presented on why copying this specific list is illegal, I don't see why it should be deleted. With regard to the other reasons given, I didn't really understand them - perhaps someone could elaborated? Sams 00:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) Keep . It's important! The greatest movie quotes of all time. Isn't that worth something? We are a collection of quotes and this is the most famous collection of quotes. We need to keep it. - B-101 16:39, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) I agree that this list is important, but it can hardly be considered the ""most famous collection of quotes"", except in a Warholian sense, when it's only a few days old. ☺ — Jeff Q (talk) 17:07, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Quotee is likely LiveJournal user, a university mathematics student in Vilnius, Lithuania, and is almost certainly not unnotable, making the single quote in the article a vanity quote. Without it, this article isn't even a stub. Irrelevant aside: the quote is accurate, in that the ratio of universe age to human lifespan is far closer to a drop in a child's swimming pool than to one in the ocean. Using a Fermi estimate of 10 (not 1) for drops in a milliliter (cubic centimeter), and a 3-meter round, 30cm-deep child's swimming pool (~2 million cc) vs. the world's oceans (~10 9 km³ = 10 18 m³ = 10 24 cc) and a Fermi-estimate universe age of 10 billion years compared to human lifespan of 100 years, we get: Age universe /Lifespan human = 10 10 /100 = 10 8 = 100 million Drops in swimming pool = 10 x Vol pool(cc) = 10 x 2,000,000 = 2 x 10 7 = 20 million Drops in ocean = 10 x Vol ocean(cc) = 10 x 10 24 = 10 25 Therefore, the swimming pool ratio is within an order of magnitude, whereas the ocean ratio is 17 orders of magnitude greater, making the former a far, far closer comparison.

Marine is not a military occupation, it is a Branch of Service, and for a Marine a way of life. Marines as a Subcategoy of the Military have a very different take on things especially in contrast to services such as the Air Force. Marines will produce quite different quotes. Also they are many Marines worth quoting that are not traditionally consider Military Leaders. Sgt Maj Dan Daily , winner of two Medals of Honor has many good quotes. Many of his quotes are as a junior enlisted Marine. I think you will find that for the most part people will only put generals in the category of Military leaders. If nothing else this has encouraged add more Marine Quotes.   :-) -- Chalko 10:31, 23 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Question Are pages allowed to have multiple categories? Is it incouraged?

Being a military leader is what made Lt. Gen. Mattis notable, which is why he is in that category. Multiple categories are encouraged -- but not links to supercategories . Every category, and category split, has a cost, and a value. Currently, our category system has very rough divisions except where categories grew extremely large. Again, a more basic subdivision of military leaders is along national boundaries, and after we do that, further splitting will not be justified -- for a very long time. Even if you add 20 more marines, it will not change the situation significantly. But do note that if we later find out we need the category later, reconstructing it is easy enough :) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 11:51, 23 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Subdividing by nations does not seem relevant to me. Books of miltary quotations do not divide by nation. I read about leaders from all nations. The profesion of arms is much the same for all nations. However Marines, Saloirs, Soldiers and Airmen have very different perspectives on things. However I do concede that I need to find notable Marines that are not considered Military Leaders. I will continue to look. My initial take on Officer vs Enlisted is not really enough. -- Chalko 08:15, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Zell Miller is a Notable Marine that would not be considered a Miltary Leader. He attained the rank of Sergeant. Although Sergeants lead and have a very demanding leadership task. Sergeants or not usually listed amongst notable Military Leaders. -- Chalko 08:26, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not sure why, though. Sergeants do have the responsibility to lead troops in combat...that is what I consider military leaders :) (Also, you are aware that ""marines have their own view"" is a US-centric view, right? I doubt US marines and other marines would see eye-to-eye...) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:24, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Sergeants are more of the ""foreman"" or shift supervisor level. Don't get me wrong I have been both a Sergeant and Major in a Combat zone. I lead both times. However I am confident that if you picked up a book called ""Military Leaders"" It would list primarily Generals, and very few enlisted members. -- Chalko 11:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] ""marines have their own view"", I am confident that the Thai, ROK and British Marines think different than there Army counter parts, but the USMC trains with them quite often. I do agree that US Marines and other Marines think different, but I still feel Marines lend a unique perspective that leads to a distninct kind of quote. I would consent to changing the Category to United States Marines but I don't think there is a need to distinguish on national boundries. The profession of Arms respect profesional no matter where they come from.-- Chalko 11:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Is there a general discussion page on the desired scope of a category? -- Chalko 11:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Move to Category:United States Marines under Category:Occupations (a reasonable approximation to ""way of life"" for categorization purposes), much like we have for Category:United States First ladies . (BTW, that latter needs a capitalization fix, either to USfl or USFL.) Current category is U.S.-centric, permitting only USMC personnel (who I happen to think are the finest fighting force in the world!) while inappropriately assuming the generic term ""Marine"". The alternative, allowing inclusion of Marines of all nations, past and present, seems less than optimal, for the following reasons: It's clearly not the intent of the category creator, who is actively adding USMC quotee articles. It might be difficult to define what makes a ""Marine"" for such an all-encompassing group, but it would be required for our worldwide, history-wide quotation compendium. We do allow ad-hoc creation of categories based on growing content (though we try to get them integrated into a scheme), but there's no point in widening the category (at least at this time) if we're not expecting any other articles outside the current definition. I have no inherent objections to a USMC personnel category, as I'm sure there are many notable ones with sourced quotes who might not be considered ""leaders"" per se . (But when can we expect the Chesty Puller article, Chalko? ☺) I'm willing to let this develop and revisit the status down the road, if necessary. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 13:29, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Move to Category:United States Marines is a reasonable solution-- Chalko 17:25, 24 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Admin note I moved my vote up to the top to make the current count more obvious-- Chalko 17:25, 24 November 2005 (UTC) (cancelled by Jeff Q; see below) [ reply ] Chalko, please do not create novel structures for WQ:VFD entries.

Not all Marines have participated in a Occupation. But why do I bother with facts. Feel free to add category Occupations and then carefull select those Marines who have quotes about an Occupation. -- Chalko 15:29, 28 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: Chalko, I'm not quite sure why you're continuing to argue -- I'm agreeing with the move to Category:United States Marines , which you agreed with earlier. Granted there can be several interpretations of the word Occupation, but for the purposes here, we are treating someone who is in the Marines (or any other branch of service) as having that as his or her occupation. In the end, I don't think we are advocating doing anything different from each other. UDScott 15:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Sorry, I read Occupation as Occupation of Iraq .

If so, I would recommend moving this to The Trinity or Holy Trinity to allow other uses of this term/name. (I am not an expert on this matter, so I welcome suggestions on this.) There are certainly plenty of sourceable quotes out there on this subject (and not just from The Bible ); the question is whether anyone wants to find and add them. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete now since as Jeff Q said, the current lemma is questionable; it would be better to change to ""The Trinity"" or (the) ""Holy Trinity"" - perhaps the former would be more NPOV. there is only one sentence - as far as I know, it is an dictionary-type definition, not quote. Essjay - he is a theologitian, AFAIK - will be able to help us. I strongly say: any improvement is welcome - there are abundance of good quotations. The possible problem is if we accept the quotes which are related to this theme but don't content this concept as is - no bibrical text contains this term as we know well. And there are many Church Fathers' text arguing this theme but not using this word. -- Aphaia 10:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Although it did not name the article it was intended for, I deduced it was for ""Sydney Cook"" because it is stylistically very similar to the subsequent incorrectly formatted vote (see below) and was recorded only minutes before that vote. These and the fact that this vote is the registered user's sole contribution to date (4 minutes after registering and 6 minutes before the anon vote) make me strongly suspect that this is the same person engaged in sockpuppetry , although perhaps without realizing it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:54, 3 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] do not delete this article should not be deleted! it is deeply philosophical! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.57.116.217 ( talk • contribs ) 21:07, 2 May 2006 (UTC) I reformatted the above posting after it was incorrectly created as a new article entry.

A search turns up a character named ""Sydney Cook"" from the TV show Walker, Texas Ranger , and so it's possible that the quote is from that character.

(See this cached Google page for instructive details not available on the current site cited in the show article.) It looks like Mr. Mickles is trying to use Wikiquote to promote his project. UNH is the program, referred to by its creator as ""probably the greatest achievement of mankind thus far"". Ms. Rakes is a beauty pageant contestant who has an acting role in the program, with only 29 Google hits from 9 websites, including UNH' s.

Would that we had such cooperation from others creating articles that fall outside Wikiquote practices! But self-promotion aside, I must admit his program raises an issue that we'll have to deal with sooner or later — the growing existence of popular but web-only multimedia. The speedy-deleted ""You Kicked My Dog"" web comic had more notability than UNH but was still probably well under our radar. But if someone decides to add quotes from TROOPS , a wildly popular Star Wars -based spoof of COPS , which has only been released as a web-based movie, we'll be hard-pressed to define how such an article would be categorized, nor could we delete it for being unnotable. — Jeff Q (talk) 10:10, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) Trust me, Jeff, you are just an idiot for not getting the potential greatness of UNH, nothing more.

Concur with LrdChaos. I'd rather not establish a precedent for creating a spate of redirects for Biblical books to The Bible , especially since there may be other notable works that use those titles. If we delete this article and someone enters ""song of songs"" in the Search box, it should list The Bible among its discoveries. If someone were to make a concerted effort to create separate articles for the individual books, we might need to revisit the issue, but until then, I'd prefer to leave these titles open for other things. Either way, commentary is definitely not the province of WQ, and original research and opinion doesn't even belong in Wikipedia. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . ~ UDScott 19:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

And that doesn't even include all the red links to other policy pages that we don't have yet, or the informally-borrowed Wikipedia practices that are rather complicated and not-quite-relevant to Wikiquote. Nor does it include all the time we spend arguing with one-issue editors with plenty of time to burn. We've got enough work for 20-30 very active editors, and we don't have half that number working these issues.

This article appears to have been created by an understandably admiring University of Puget Sound student of a professor whom an International High IQ Society contest called ""the world's smartest person"". The article cites a UPS course page instead of the more informative University of Michigan student webpage of former grad student Nierman. The latter includes citations of an Ann Arbor News article in which he is quoted as saying, ""Pretty funny […] I think there's a little bit of difference between being the world's smartest person and winning this contest."" Indeed, the International High IQ Society 's website doesn't seem to consider this title important enough even to mention it in any obvious place on its website]; in fact, my quick perusal didn't even turn up the contest itself. (And how smart can this organization be if they don't even provide a search function for their website? ☺) Seriously, this newly-minted professor would need a good amount of published work to meet the usual wiki notability requirements. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .

They seem to be improper on several levels. First, Wikiquote is not an appropriate venue for transcriptions. If they are not copyrighted, they belong on Wikisource. If they are copyrighted (which seems most likely), they don't belong in any MediaWiki project. Second, it seems highly questionable that a fictional TV show shown only in pieces within a video game is notable enough for its own article. Even the Wikipedia article on the overall ""television series"" seems quite fancruftian , and probably ought to be only a section of the Max Payne article. Third, even if Address Unknown is considered notable, it hardly seems to require one article per episode, since we do not allow complete transcriptions.

Seized by a sudden desire not to scare off too many vanity posters, I posted a note to the anon creator's talk page offering to move this to a user page if they register. I guess I'm hoping this person might consider creating notable-quote articles as well. (It'd be nice to be able to do this each time, but the return on the time investment in this kind of communication would probably be near zero, and I'd much rather spend my time welcoming new registered users with our collection of useful starting links, in an effort to reduce frequent misunderstandings.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete , as per above.

If we do this, we want to make sure that it's worded so as not to confuse other users of the IP address, as I attempted to do at User talk:205.188.117.67#Tyler Silvestri .

At the time of the nomination, this was the ""Ben Payton"" page and this was the ""User:Ben Payton"" page . At the time, they were nearly identical. Many of the changes since then have been from an anon user, not User:Ben Payton (which, had I noticed, would have been reverted, as edits to User pages (not User talk pages) should only be from that user). As to notability, while the article does now include an assertion of notability, I'm unable to find evidence to support it. The top results for a Google search on the name are a Wikipedia user page, a comic book character, a musician, etc. For all that, there are only 164 results, and only two (both pages on the same site, www.school-portal.co.uk) appear to be this person. — LrdChaos 16:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Don't delete for those fairly obvious reasons Forrest Hump Don't delete there's some memorable quotes here by a noted public speaker UDScott —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.107.104.96 ( talk • contribs ) 14 May 2006 10:55:27 (UTC) I have blocked this IP address for 3 days for impersonating another user. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Ben Payton is an extremely well known figure up here in Alaska and if you've read the article about him you'll see that he's an highly impressive orator. Incidentally a google search reveals some 1,4100,000 results Great Warrior of the North The first sentence above is not evidence, but a mere claim. For all we know, the author might not be ""up here in Alaska"", but halfway around the world instead. That's why personal attestations are not considered evidence. It also includes the standard attempt to ignore notability and verifiability requirements by selling the qualities of the quotes and quotee. As for the supposed Google search, here is mine for ""Ben Payton"" [27] , which yields 377 hits, remarkably low for a presumably common name, even if no Ben Payton is notable. I invite GWotN to provide us with a link to his Google search as evidence. Otherwise, given his current edit history (1 edit each to ""Ben Payton"", his own user page, and this page), I would have to suspect him of being a sockpuppet of User:Ben Payton himself. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Note . It is possible that User:Ben Payton , User:Forrest Hump , and the IP 88.107.104.96 are all the same user, given the contribution history of the users, and the fact that 88.107.104.96 has made edits to the user pages for both users. — LrdChaos 17:00, 14 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . The current article claims that Ben Payton is ""President of Tuskegee University in Alaska"". Since Tuskegee University (at least the only one I know of) is in Alabama , this reinforces, along with the impersonation, apparent sockpuppetry , and the complete lack of actual evidence (not just unsupported claims), the idea that these users are all the the person, who is a prankster. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete , concur with Jeffq and LrdChaos. ~ UDScott 13:21, 19 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : There seems to be quite a bit of confusion promulgated over this article. User:Ben Payton , who created this article, states that this person is a ""well known British orator"". User:Great Warrior of the North added a claim that the quotee was ""President of Tuskegee University in Alaska and shared a podium with President George W. Bush when he visited the university in April 2006"", and added the above comment that the quotee ""is an extremely well known figure up here in Alaska"". An anonymous user in the same network as our impersonator here, 88.107.104.96 , quickly reverted GWotN's edit. My own research turned up a ""President Benjamin F. Payton"" of Tuskegee University in Alabama , who did indeed give a speech before Bush. (See Payton bio , White House press release , Tuskegee version , Payton quotes .) This person has no Wikipedia article at this time, under ""Benjamin Payton"" (the canonical representation) or any reasonable variation. I draw the following conclusions from this and the above information: User:Ben Payton , who uses British spelling on his user page, created a vanity article about himself. 88.107.101.162 ( talk · contributions ), 88.107.104.96 ( talk · contributions ), 88.107.108.70 ( talk · contributions ) (all of whom operate from within UK ISP Tiscali's DSL network of likely dynamic IP addresses), and User:Forrest Hump are likely sockpuppets of User:Ben Payton . Even if they aren't, their combined contributions to Wikiquote to-date have been solely to support the British Ben Payton (with only minor exceptions for user pages and a single VfD vote supporting Hannah Richardson while admitting this person is not notable). User:Great Warrior of the North , who supports the article, seems to think it's about the Tuskegee president, and despite apparently being from Alaska, claims familiarity with this Payton while thinking he works in Alaska rather than Alabama (a rather significant error). Dr. Benjamin F. Payton seems to be notable enough for quoting, but no one participating in this VfD seems to really know this person or wish to correctly quote him . My conclusion is that nobody here is willing to make this article even a stub about a notable person. I would recommend that if Tuskegee fans wish to have an article on their President, they should start one from scratch at Benjamin Payton (and don't forget the sources that I took the trouble to dig up). This article is a hopeless mess. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete. InvisibleSun 05:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep i've read through all the articles nominated for deletion, and this is one of the very few that is any good. How can it be a 'hopeless mess' when its actually got outstanding pieces of rhetoric? Wikiquote is supposed to be about good quotations, so lets keep the few that we have. Changetheworld 19:12 27 May 2006 (UTC) I'm afraid I wasn't very clear when I said the article was a hopeless mess. I really meant that trying to figure out what this article should be is a hopeless mess, per my above research on the subject(s) and the editors' postings and edit histories. Pithiness of quotes is irrelevant to Wikiquote if the quotee is not notable. Wikiquote is indeed about ""good quotations"", but only from ""notable people and creative works"" (from the first sentence on Main Page ), and these should be sourced whenever possible. ( Wikiquote:Wikiquote mentions quotes that have ""achieved fame"" by themselves, but this means truly well-known quotes of anonymous origin, not an excuse for people to post their own sayings, which is what makes our current Anonymous article a near-total waste of computer storage.) That's not my policy or the policy of one regular editor or sysop; it is Wikimedia Foundation policy about the purposes and contents of its projects. There are many, many other quote websites that will accept quotes from anyone without establishing notability. This just isn't one of them. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per it being a pure vanity page as is made clearer by the sockpuppets which are currently going on.

Transwiki policy (as stated in MetaWiki ) is to leave pages with links or redirects in place, but it's fuzzy and somewhat self-contradicting in places. Wikipedia and other projects often ignore the policy, especially given difficulties in the transwiki process and the resulting backlog. Based on the ""Tryst"" vote, the Wikiquote community was noticeably uninterested in resolving this issue at that time (5 weeks ago). If we demonstrate with this vote that we've changed our minds since then, I'll update the transwiki policy to reflect our practices. — Jeff Q (talk) 19:11, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) Thanks, I didn't know that. I guess that means I won't be adding other pages which have been moved to Wikisource. At Wikisource we really don't transwiki anything, so I was not aware what the current policies involving transwiki were. Zhaladshar 19:20, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) Delete . Just so no one feels awkward about piping up on this issue again, I'll start this round of transwiki-related voting. See my archived ""Tryst"" explanations for details. (The policy discussion I mention there didn't really go anywhere.) — Jeff Q (talk) 19:36, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) Delete Transwiki policy on meta doens't work in many places. Most of transwikied article from English Wikipedia haven't been listed on w:Wikipedia:Transwiki log (there are only six or seven entries since this January). And since February 2005, all the redirect to the other site including other Wikimedia project has been disabled for preventing redirect using spamming, so it is useless to keep them as ""redirect"". And I think it is up to the community which received transwikied articles to keep the history of the transwikied article, not the community which sent it. For our own documentation, we could list it on our transwiki log (now it is isolated on this project). -- Aphaia 20:11, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Based on a heated discussion at w:Talk:IP address#External links again and a page from a site called GDSE (apparently a computer-game development site, but they seem to have left out the standard ""who we are"" and ""contact us"" links), this person seems to be an unnotable (and egregiously self-promoting) computer developer and artist.

Prove me wrong and I'll change my mind (and my vote), as I have done in the past. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:12, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not here to prove that I'm 'notable'. Think about it. Someone says: hey dik, you're not notable, prove that you are to me.. . I'm not here to light my own fire or to blow into a vacuum. 0waldo 14:50, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Au contraire, mon ami. Your creation of a quote article about yourself is a de facto assertion that you are notable. MediaWiki Foundation projects were established to allow anyone with an Internet connection the ability to record encyclopedic, quotation, and other information about notable subjects. That is their purpose. They require evidence of the notability of their subjects, or the information is removed. If you do not understand this, you are missing the point of the projects. There are many other similar projects on the Internet that do provide a forum for people to write about themselves, regardless of their notability. This just isn't one of them. It's nothing personal, as your personal attacks against myself and others have been. There are editors here (not me) who have been written about in the established press, so they might be considered notable. If any should choose to create a quote article about themselves, their articles would still require evidence of notability. Of course, those editors typically have a long history of useful edits and follow Wikipedia civility guidelines , so they're less likely to have to do themselves, as other editors would probably help. You, on the other hand, have no history of edits other than those relating to your own cause, and seem to be going out of your way to insult the only people in the community who are interested in reviewing your article. To use your own oft-repeated phrase, spare me. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:06, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete ~ Achilles † 16:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] cmd DELETE: ""you"" (along with your cardboard sword) :) 0waldo 16:27, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . nonnotable self-promoter. jni 16:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] These quotations appear to be being made up on the spot, directly in Wikiquote. There is no evidence that these quotations, or indeed any quotations by this person, have been recorded (by anyone other than the subject xyrself) outside of Wikiquote. Delete . Uncle G 17:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] So then, since you can't find your 'evidence' then reality with respect to the matter simply ceases to exist I suppose? Spare me. 0waldo 18:01, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not sure why I'm bothering, but I'll try to explain this as well. In general, we follow Wikipedia's practices about sources. Per w:Wikipedia:Citing sources#When you add content : ""In general, even if you are writing from memory, you should actively search for authoritative references to cite ."" The burden of evidence is on the contributor, not on reviewers. (That, again, is how wikis work. Editors are expected to do their own research. They can leave the hard work to others, as often happens, but they must expect that it may not get done, leaving their contributions vulnerable to removal for being unsourced.) For notable quotees, citing publications of their works provides editors the ability to review and correct, enhancing Wikiquote's goal of accuracy. When editors review articles nominated for deletion, they often attempt to determine notability and find sources as a courtesy to the many editors who may not be familiar with WQ practices (which can be read starting with Wikiquote:FAQ and Help:Contents ). But they are not required to do the research; the only people with that onus are the editors interested in keeping the article. In this case, that's you, 0waldo. Complaining about our inability to find your supposed quotes in any reliable source is, again, not helping your case. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] JeffQ:I love the dig on -spare me-. Cute and simultaneously good! That was good. Really good and I truly commend you 4it! I'm the dog with mange in the corner getting kicked around by the A.K.C.s 0waldo 01:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: I have removed 0waldo's attempt to stack the deck on this VfD entry by adding multiple unsigned votes. They may have been meant whimsically, but we take VfDs very seriously, while 0waldo seems to be treating his experiences with Wikiquote as an extended joke. I have posted a warning on his talk page about the potential for being blocked if he continues to violate multiple WQ policies. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Jeff, Commendations! Clinically curt comments concerning cynicism communicated to crass commentators at “cut-waldo-up-corral”. Was clearly a clever conscript! Consider casa to be: “cadre of cranky commentators”, “clique community” consistently creating crap, croaking to collateral comrades at corral commuting censure. Communiqués of ‘civility’ / ‘clean communication’ cleverly commandeered from crummy editor’s “cardboard-sword” charisma: construing crusted creampuffs, au contraire, culinary clout consisting of clearly cheap con/come-on competition. Consequently, considering canonizing myself (if considered conceivable) thru copious coconscious-comments and/or “contrived illegal castings” to change the call of the crappy ‘clique community’ and/or ‘comrade-cowards’ from a “can him” to a “consecrate him” consortium to clearly contrive a “plus Ca change”. Since cancelled change is a not cannon to commiserate: I cleverly cleaved with a comely chick and consequently coined the capricious caption to close, calling closely the conspicuously callous comment to cite: “Milk-toast is for the mundane while gold coins are for the conquistadors” Carefully consider correlative commendable cliché creative coined by creditable concierge/cohort comely-chick-cleaver; calling on all “crass commentators”, “clique community”, “collateral comrades” for “conscription to canonization” on chapter “Walter Muncaster, Artist 1953-” contrary to: cross-out, cut, censor, cast out and/or continual commuted confusion. 0waldo 17:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Jeff, look brother, I'm really sorry to do this but you need a legitimate reason to suspend my privileges and I'm going to give you one, right here, right now :) Delete .

I will move the article to a proper title (as described below). — Jeff Q (talk) 07:18, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) I didn't know that the Vulcan's knew Nixon. Delete . Rmhermen 03:27, 25 May 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Believe it or not, this is an actual quote from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (although I haven't verified the exact text). Spock said it when volunteering Kirk and the Enterprise for a Federation/Klingon detente meeting. One assumes he was being ironic by claiming it as a Vulcan saying. — Jeff Q (talk) 04:27, 25 May 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete unless the page adds actual Vulcan proverbs (it's possible, ST is a huge franchise). MosheZadka 04:09, 25 May 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: I won't bother to do so unless this article survives its VfD, but it should be moved to Vulcan proverbs . — Jeff Q (talk) 04:29, 25 May 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: if this quote is indeed real, then I wonder if we should delete... I don't think that we generally delete pages with only one quote in them. Perhaps it's better to wait and see if someone improves it. Sams 20:44, 27 May 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] --It's from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Spock said ""There's an old Vulcan proverb, 'Only Nixon could go to China',"" referring to sending Kirk and crew on a diplomatic mission to the Klingons. It was said in dialogue on screen. Vote: NO Keep . It is now vastly expanded upon. Caiman 20:06, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) Comment: Now a new and usual fear struck me: Is it remaining within the sphere of Fair Use? Quotes is not the citation of whole things .... -- Aphaia 20:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) Comment: The article is expanded, but from a source called ""Surak's Scroll"" that has no legitimate citations, no mention in the Wikipedia article on Surak , and zero hits on Google in any of the forms I tried. As it stands, this strikes me as an even greater reason to delete the article. I've posted a note on its talk page to encourage explanation. — Jeff Q (talk) 03:03, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) OK.. . seems like you're right, but since 2 other people already tried to contribute to this article, I don't think that we should have eagerness to delete it, and instead we can keep it and wait for some time, perhaps more input from 'trekkers' will emerge... Sams 03:48, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) Sam, do you convince those contribs are legitimate quotes and not fan creations? -- Aphaia 03:55, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) I personally know nothing about vulcans and star trek, therefore my opinion here is only in the level of general principles. I think that if we notice articles that seem like a hoax that were created with malicious intent, creating confusion, or containing insults, then we should even speedy-delete them (in the rare cases where we would get it wrong, no big deal, they can be recreated). However, if it seems that the intent was ok, but the contribs didn't get it right, then, assuming that it's possible for the article to be improved (I don't really understand if that's the case here), we should have a more liberal approach, and first try the talk page (like JeffQ did) for a while, before VFD. I note that Jeffq raised a good point, about ""legitimacy to spurious information by getting it replicated in search engines"". However, JeffQ, with all due respect to TV series, there might be better places to start... For example, I noticed the George Galloway article and cleaned it up a little, but someone dumped in there his 1994 speech with no good source, and if you google sentences from it now, you'll get wikiquote as the result, and perhaps a few message boards with the same thing. It's probably more or less accurate, perhaps completely accurate, but we give it legitimacy on wikiquote without really knowing... BTW in this particular case, the entire page should in fact be divided into 2 wikisource articles, but it seems that the wikipedia people like to use wikiquote for dumping their superfluous data... Sams 10:46, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) I'd actually be in favor of keeping this article if what my inadequate recollection suggests are many proverb-like quotes were reliably listed. But I'd rather delete an article filled with junk now than wait from someone to do due diligence to make this article accurate, which can take months or even years on WQ, while we lend legitimacy to spurious information by getting it replicated in search engines. I think the warning of impending deletion serves to motivate keepers to do the work necessary to make this a useful and accurate article. If not, it can always be recreated later. If no evidence is provided for the legitimacy of the current content and we still keep the article, I'll probably just remove everything not backed up by references (which is currently all but the original single quote). — Jeff Q (talk) 04:34, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) Comment though the vote closed already, and there is no consensus to delete it (there are the same number of votes for keeps and deletes, 2-2 except Jeffq's latest comment), I would like to extent the vote for some days, like three days or a week. My current position is alike to Jeffq. Now delete, and wait someday a trekker will submit a collection of ""legitimate"" Valcan proverbs, if exists. So Delete . -- Aphaia 07:21, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) I don't think we should count a vote after closure, otherwise what is the point of have a close date? Anyway, since we aim for community consensus, which is not strictly defined but is frequently considered most valid around two-thirds (67%) or more of voting users, another ""delete"" vote wouldn't change the results. (It would be 60/40 for ""delete""; my comment was deliberately not a vote one way or another). Using my judgment per policy, I believe that the community has not achieved the consensus to delete. I do plan, however, to remove the questionable quotes mentioned above until such time as someone can provide a credible source for them, and will endeavor in the near future both to verify the current substantiated quote and to collect some others. Further discussion on this issue should probably take place at Talk:Vulcan proverbs . — Jeff Q (talk) 07:43, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Not only does it help Tamil readers, adding to the potential pool of translators, but it also encourages English speakers like me to get browsers and fonts that support non-Latin characters (which puts pressure on browser vendors to include them in their standard products).

Sams 28 June 2005 10:09 (UTC) Notability does not mean likeability. Osama Bin Laden, Zaqawi, Pol Pot, or criminals like Son of Sam and Jack the Ripper are not likeable but they are mentioned in books and encyclopedias and are notable. I am fully aware that anyone who criticizes Islam is worthless for Muslims, Salman Rushie was given a death decree and his book was burned. Many bookstores carrying his book were bombed and a couple of translators of his book were assassinated. For Muslims, Rushdie is scum and his books are worthless. Whether Muslims are right about Rushdie or not is not the point. The point is that one does not have to be right or likable to be noteworthy. Many noteworthy people are just notorious. Anyone who has an opinion that is controversial and is read and discussed by a lot of people is noteworthy irrespective of the correctness or incorrectness of his views. Ali Sina is enough important at least for a group of Muslims to create an entire site, calling it after his site just to refute what he and other writers in faithfreedom.org say. Another Islamic site dedicated to Sina’s site and refuting what he says is Bismikaallahuma.com. There are at least two Islamic sites and tens of articles in other sites written by Muslims that are just to refute him and other writers in faithfreedom.org. So obviously he is not as insignificant as you claim. I have quoted the opinions of Sina’s critics and provided links to them, including those that are disparaging. Is Mr. Sina worth mentioning? A google search with “Faith freedom international” results in nearly 60,000 entries. [8] Tens of thousands more entries can be found when search is done with faithfreedom [9] and “Ali Sina” . Several important sites such as AsiaTimes.com [10] WorldNetDaily.com [11] and Frontpagemag.com [12] have written about him and several other important sites have published his articles. The point is that he is noteworthy. This does not mean he is right. I did not say that he is. I did not say Rushdie is right either. However, those who criticize Islam do not become automatically insignificant just because Muslims don’t like what they say. An encyclopedia is to provide a balanced expose of people who are noteworthy. The very fact that Mr. Zakaria, Mr. Edip Yuksel, and other prominent Muslims debated with Mr. Sina and have published their debates in their sites shows that at least they think he is important enough to be refuted. Please do not confuse noteworthiness with likeability or correctness. Sina is noteworthy because he is read by millions. He is liked by some and disliked by others. He is a controversial personage. The job of Wikipeia is not to take side and list only people who are liked or precisely people who are liked by Muslims. In Islamic countries criticism of Islam is banned and critics are jailed or killed. In free societies we can’t tolerate his intolerance. The critics of Christianity, Judaism and all other religions have the same rights to express their views as the supporters of these religions have. I urge Muslims to exercise restraint and Wikipedia which is a free and unbiased encyclopedia to remain free and unbiased. Maybe you can start another Islamic encyclopedia where you control what goes in and censor all opposing views. But please let Wikepedia remain neutral. Thanks for your consideration. I don’t think the pretext that one is not known in the “real world” is a valid criteria. Ibn Warraq is world famous critic of Islam. Ibn Warraq is a pseudonym. I have not personally seen Sina saying Ali Sina is not his real name. If it is not, it is understandable for safety reason. [User: 72.21.32.122] ""read by millions""? The above is a weird mixture of straw men and unsubstantiated claims. If you read Aphaia's original comment above, it has nothing to do with the likability straw man of yours - just a concern about notability, raising the precise issue that you choose to avoid, which is whether many online links imply notability in the real world, or whether it's some google bomb hoax spread by those right-wing websites that you mention, etc. If he had published a book, or some articles that receive peer reviews, or your claim that he's read by millions can be substantiated, then you could have skipped all of that likability nonsense, which no one has ever used on either wikipedia or wikiquote as reason to delete an article, as far as I know... Sams 28 June 2005 21:00 (UTC) Comment: I created this because article Ali Sina on wikipedia was becoming a quote respository. I personally think he's rather unnotable but wikipedia is of a medium that we can have marginally notable people as long as we do not link them on prominent pages. My only request is that there be consistency and if you want to keep here keep on wikipedia, and if you want to delete here delete on wikipedia. 68.82.51.76 28 June 2005 21:18 (UTC) Comment: Your assertion about ""marginally notable people as long as we do not link them on prominent pages"" sounds very wrong to me, or at least it should be. As for your point about consistency, I completely agree with it, but unfortunately we don't control wikipedia. Would you like to raise a VfD there? (You must register an account, otherwise you cannot vote.) BTW my personal opinion is that both articles should be kept, but I don't plan to vote on wikipedia. Sams 28 June 2005 21:36 (UTC) Even notable people should not be at times linked on prominent pages. Jerry Falwell (who is prominent enough for wikipedia definitely as a household name) is notable, but he should not be linked on w:Christianity . That's what I mean... and I think that sounds reasonable? I don't really think it's a matter of controlling wikipedia... I think reasonable editors will see that Ali Sina has very little impact on Islam and should not be linked from that article. Just like Muslims like Rashad Khalifa shouldn't be either. I will only raise the VfD on wikipedia if it's deleted here (which I don't think it will be). Oh, and I'm w:User:Grenavitar on wikipedia, I don't use quotes enough to make a name... (and, I'm 68.82.51.76 from above but I am at a different location) 128.175.20.75 6 July 2005 15:59 (UTC) Comment: This is degenerating into another personality war. The Wikipedia VfD suggestion is a method en:Wikiquote has used successfully before to stimulate debate by the vastly-larger WP audience on the notability (not popularity) of a person or topic. Whether it results in a delete or a keep consensus, we can use the result here to help our much smaller audience determine whether an article is worth preserving. We are not obligated to follow any decision on WP, as we (A) have a different purpose, and (B) are our own community and make our own decisions. It's just an aid. That said, there are many other methods we use to attempt to determine notability. Google is one, but as I've pointed out in many other debates, it is not authoritative, as it merely registers current popularity (which is not necessarily the same as notability) and can be ""bombed"" (thanks Sams; I hadn't heard that term before). Print sources are always preferred. Telecast speeches are highly desirable. Websites are the least useful source, as anyone can create a website in a few minutes. In fact, websites more often provide evidence of self-promotion attempts, although each situation must be examined individually. I have no current position on this question; I just wanted to point out the reasons behind some of our existing practices. — Jeff Q (talk) 28 June 2005 22:34 (UTC) Keep it- I like to learn both sides of Islam.

They are not important because they are the views of Mr. Sina but because they are shared by the majority of ex-Muslims. We could delete this page; in that case I suggest we start a new page quoting Ibn Warraq or another ex-Muslim. To understand the views of ex-Muslims, we must read what they say. I have chosen quotes that make the reader see in a glance what a typical ex-Muslim says. [User: 72.21.32.122] Keep for now. In the absence of a WP VfD to further discern notability, and despite some of the questionable arguments made above, I'm willing to accept this person's WP article as temporary evidence of notability, especially given the other problems Wikiquote is dealing with at the moment. — Jeff Q (talk) 22:22, 9 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , but of course keeping the criticisms as well. If a person is notable enough for Wikipedia that seems a good criterion for inclusion here, and criticisms by people he enters into dialog with should also be notable enough for inclusion. If any of the primary quotations or the critical quotes are not founded upon clear evidence that too can be noted in the comments. ~ Achilles 10:31, 11 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] As I have just explained elsewhere , no it cannot. Existence of evidence strengthening a quote, or lack thereof, is not part of wikiquote's mandate. That is up to scholars of current affairs, and perhaps up to wikipedia to summarize those scholars' works. Wikipedia has strict ""no original research"" policy -- but wikiquote's policy ""no comments except those required for context"", and those must be npov. Let us leave the debates to scholars, and summarization of the debates to encyclopedias, and let us be an accurate collection of quotes (and we have significant amounts of efforts to do here, as many know) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 11:43, 11 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

That notwithstanding, my takeaway from WP:RS is that mailing-list posts (and Usenet articles) are primary sources for the fact of their text. In any event, WP is by intention a tertiary source; use of primary sources is a sign of original research and thus discouraged. WQ by contrast is a secondary source; original research is encouraged, and citations to primary sources are not only expected but preferred . So if you want to argue notability, that's fine (as it happens I agree), but reliable sourcing means something completely different in a quotation compendium than it means for an encyclopedia. 121a0012 02:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Apologies; I incorrectly called the CrackMonkey mailing list link a Usenet posting. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete. - InvisibleSun 01:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete. 121a0012 02:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Auraschild 21:03, 9 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] This may be true, but is irrelevant. We have consecutive edits that show that Auraschild took an edit added by 65.43.180.63 [61] , signed it with his/her signature [62] , then added a second vote (still logged on as Auraschild) claiming to be ""JJ aka ShadowZero"" [63] . The first may be an unlogged user fixing a signature; we have no practical way to verify this (which is why UDScott reverted the signing). But the last is considered vote forgery, as it is a single username trying to make two apparently different votes. We require that users add signatures to their votes to show awareness of the process (which is described at the top of this page), and to help sysops to determine good-faith voting. But any Wikiquotian can observe the actual edits, including forged votes, by examining the page history. This behavior will likely get votes from participating users discounted, and may result in blocking if such bad-faith editing continues. IP addresses cannot register multiple legal votes, regardless of how many people they represent. Furthermore, we don't usually give much (if any) credit to users who only register to vote for articles, or IPs whose only contributions are to an article and its VfD entry. Wikiquote is a serious compendium of quotes from notable people and creative works, not a popularity contest to support quotes from ordinary individuals, however profound their statements or respected they may be by their followers. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] To be honest with you... That is kind of stupid. You consider people notable only through Google searches and all that stuff. It seems you have no respect for uprising notable people. I hate people like that. Someone can be notable in one area, a region that not many have heard of and if someone would try to put that persons quotes on here you would immediatly deem them not notable. Google searches are a bad way to see if people are notable because some people don't let stuff about them go near search engines... Some people like to be unknown in some ways. I personal consider a notable person someone who defies what people say. Someone should be notable if they were told they couldn't do something and they go and do it. Like helping others or setting up homeless help programs even though people said noone would care and it would be a waste of time. Notability should not be just by how many google hits you get and how many are actually that person but on what they did and plan to do with their future. But what I say has no importance seeing how I am, according to you, not notable. I only put my quotes on here because I used them in situations were most people who have freaked out and said or did nothing. I have prevented people from killing themselves. If you call that not notable then you people are really sad. I really wonder what has truely happened to this world. Just because of this whole thing, I think I'll make my current website a quote website donated to the people who weren't notable enough for you people. Auraschild 00:52, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Auraschild, Wikiquote is a publication of the Wikimedia Foundation, and as such must follow its principles. Like any other publisher, it is entitled to define what content it should incorporate, and what it does not wish to have. Many people make the mistake of thinking that being able to edit a website entitles them to add anything they wish to that website. But the Foundations's goal (as far as I understand it) is to create publications worthy of the respect given formal print publications, but which are composed by anyone and everyone who wishes to contribute. That does not mean we editors can ignore its standards. You also confuse subject notability with editor notability. It doesn't matter that you or I are unnotable. (I don't know about you, but I am certainly unnotable, which is why I don't have a quote article, just a user page like any other registered user, yourself included.) Anybody can edit here, but Wikiquote, like Bartlett's Famous Quotations or The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations , requires that its subjects be notable and their sources be reliable. I wish you luck with your own website; I have no doubt that many folks who wouldn't be included in Wikiquote might very well achieve a useful web presence in your and others' sites, with their own standards of inclusion and exclusion. Vive le difference! Vive la variété! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:29, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Another thing. Notability differs alot. I could see Wilhelm Stekel as notable yet some other person (forsay my friend JJ) could see him as just a lunatic. Words and meanings and notability differ from person to person. The whole world could see someone as notable and yet the mediawiki thing could easily say they weren't. I respect that in a small way but I also think that the minorities should have a chance in the world. If all we did was allow the current notable people in wolrd to do anything, then we wouldn't be letting anyone else get into the notable category which you people place. Such things are stupid and remind me of a mere child. I've worked my whole life to stop homelessness and world hunger but because noone knows it I am deemed unnotable and disgarded as a normal average person. But I am a respectful person and I will respect this notable policy thing. ""The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one."" I based my life on this quote from Wilhelm Stekel. Like I said (or think I said) I do not want to be known much, I just want people to know my words, the words that have helped many people. And why do you let people vote if it should be deleted or not? All in all it is not notable and will probably be deleted anyways, what is the point? I don't know why I say anything. My words to you are unnotable and that of an average person. (I am saying this next part only out of curiosity, though it is true) Would I be notable If I told you I have won 5 awards for my poetry and had my poetry featured in two different books? Auraschild 01:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I find it hard to imagine a situation where ""the world world [sees] someone as notable"" and yet an entry for them here was deleted. Certainly it is possible to portray nearly anyone as a non-notable figure, and while there is no absolute standard for what constitutes notability, Wikiquote (as with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects) generally operates on consensus. If a clear enough majority of people feel that a person is not notable enough to merit a page, then the likely result is that it will be deleted. There isn't some secret cabal that schemes to keep certain people from having pages here; the entire process is transparent and open to all. As far as your winning awards and having poetry published, that alone does not necessarily make you notable. There are many, many, many ""awards"" out there that serve only to earn money for a person or company through entry fees or payment for inclusion in a book of some sort. Most of these awards don't confer any real status on the person winning them; they don't become well-known in literature circles or anything like that. The same holds true for publication. Merely having a work published does not establish notability; the work has to achieve some measurable success in a large area/region. — LrdChaos 03:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Let's not get too sidetracked about the term ""notability"", which as everyone is pointing out is ambiguous. The way to convince Wikiquotians who are unaware of a person is to cite published information about the subject. As yet, not one shred of such info has been provided for Shawn Triscari, the subject of this VfD. If George W. Bush , who is inarguably notable, made a personal appeal for Mr. Triscari, it would be completely irrelevant. It's the subject , not the editor, who is the question here, and the evidence needs to be something that other Wikiquotians can investigate. Google, Alexa, the Library of Congress, Amazon, etc., are all just convenient means to the end of scaring up hard data on a subject. Since Mr. Triscari is apparently active in Cleveland, Ohio , citing articles from the The Plain Dealer would be one way to provide the requested evidence. I'm sure there are many other potential sources; it's a question of whether this person has appeared in any of them. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Okay, tell me this, how can I prove I am notable enough for you people? I'm surprised anyone is even on here. (Though it is irrelevant I would never let Bush make an appeal for me.) But I am being serious, how can I prove I am notable. I have never let anything been written about me because I refuse to be known. I live life for other people not for popularity, not for being known. Which brings up something else for me. If someone never let themselves get published in anything how can they prove they are notable. And I was in the Plain Dealer (and the soem west side newpaper and I think the sun newspaper) a couple weeks ago as a matter of fact, and on Channel 5 news, and 3 and 8 and 19 and 43. But that's irrelevant to this. And I will not provide links to any article because I am not going to resort to anything by the media to prove/say I am notable. (And mostly because I am going to e-mail them to ask them to delete the article.) Auraschild 03:45, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] There are literally no more common practices for scam artists to delude people than by making assertions and then trying to confuse skeptics by claiming absurd altruistic reasons for avoid publicity and painting themselves as victims. The claim of this user about ""refus[ing] to be known"" are patently false, as he is working very hard to be known here. The idea that citing evidence is irrelevant is absolutely wrong, as this is the only relevant issue here. Note also how Auraschild mentions several major media outlets but fails to provide any details (program names, article titles, dates, links), and even foolishly talks about having a paper delete an article. At this point, further discussion with this soi-disant ""respectful person"" who calls his fellow editors ""stupid"" is merely feeding the trolls . ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] How many times do I have to say it?! I am only doing it on here so peopel can see my quotes! I don't care about me or anything. You want to see apart of teh article? The article heading was Students Urging Voters To Pass Levy Next Month and was POSTED on channel 5 news website at: 5:23 pm EDT April 6, 2006. (Was also featured on 10 O'clock news, 5 O'clock news and I think maybe the morning news of the next day.) You people are really shallow and ignorant . And is there anything wrong with wanting to work in the shadows? I refuse to be known because unlike most people I hate being known, I would hate my life if everytime I saw someone they knew my name and wanted to talk and because it is stupid to be popular. You rise and you fall. Why rise and fall when you can always stay in the middle? Though even if you want to stay in the middle you will always have minor rises and falls. I would never do anything for popularity or for money. I just want the world to be a better place. Say I am lieing, say i am full of it, say I want popularity, I DO NOT CARE! Because I know the truth, I know what I want. Another reason I didn't want to provide any media info was because I dislike the media. They side with the authorities and proclaim their righteousness. Auraschild 05:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Another thing. If I really wanted to be known you'd see more things with me in it if you searched me on Yahoo or Google. And you think I am trolling? (not that I really understand it) Sheesh, I was hoping at least one person would understand my intentions. And the only reason I am working hard here is becuase I hope someone comes across this and learns to stand up for themselves and defy the odds. Trust me I have thought about deleting all my qoutes that I have on here and just moving them to my website but I believe in fighting for what you believe in and that's what I am doing now.

Auraschild 21:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikiquote policy (for everyone) is to leave VfD-nominated articles in place, allowing changes to attempt to make the article conform to policy (like reducing POV or adding sources or details) for a minimum of two weeks. Blanking articles is only done when the content is likely a copyright violation or libelous, but even then the original content is available through page history. It is a practice on Wikipedia that article creators may ask that their articles be speedy-deleted , but we are still working to catch up to WP's SD practices. Sysops are just as bound by WQ policy as any editor, more so in some ways. It may seem odd to some, but we have had articles that other editors rescued from deletion requests by their original editors. (See Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/Neglected Mario Characters as the most recent example, and some explanation why this happens on occasion.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:43, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Oh and the IP 156.63.190.132 is my schools IP address. I was talking to you people from the schools comp and must have forgotten to delete the history and they came across it. Auraschild 23:43, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] (Shadows notebook:) (This is not the WikiUser Shadow) Shawn is a notable person. The definition of notable refers to any person who has done something signifigant with thier lives. Because of the fact that everyones view of ""signifigance"" is relative, you can not say her is not a signifigant person. I will attest to his importance by saying that without him, many people have a high chance of being dead right now. This possible total is higher than a minor terroristic attack. Shawn Triscari has saved doesens of people, mabie even over 50. I can verify at least 5 of them for him. By denying him the privilage of being a ""notable person,"" you are, in essence, placing him below the rank of a minimal terrorist. Doesn't he reserve the right to retain his dignity as a human? Are you persecuting this man because his views are different from yours? Your site is large, wikipedia staff. Let this man have his dignity and respect, and treat him not as a patron, but as an equal.... E-mail Shadow at Shadow_Zero_2000@hotmail.com (end of transcript) + The above was a note from a friend, he originally placed it on the Shawn triscari page itself, but it was removed and I was told to move it here. It is also on the Talk:Shawn triscari Page. Thank you, Your friend, Shawn Auraschild (talk) 15:12, 11 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I actually had to use these today, a friend was contemplating suicide and ways to change her life. Sorry, I just thought I'd mention it. Auraschild 22:51, 11 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I find it an abomination that anyone would use the suicidal feelings of others to promote their own notoriety. Perhaps, to provide the requested evidence of notability, the Friends of Shawn Triscari (FoST) might interest The Plain Dealer in a story about how a shameless, self-involved young man spends most of his day trying to convince people that he is important, completely forgetting that the true importance comes from the effort itself, not the publicity. This is the most disgraceful act of self-promotion I've ever seen on a wiki project. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Hey... I... I didn't mean to self promote...

I added Sam Smith to LrdChaos's nomination of Samuel Lee Smith because they were both created by the same anonymous user and appear to be about the same person. (I have no idea why they made one an intro-less quote article and the other a quoteless intro article.) I think they should be considered together, as it's at least possible that one solid article could be made from them. Currently, there is no WP article for ""Samuel Lee Smith"", ""Samuel L. Smith"", or ""Sam L. Smith"", and ""Sam Smith"" redirects to w:Samuel Smith , which does not include anyone as described in our current ""Samuel Lee Smith"" article. The Faith Christian Church link provided in SLS is just its main page; it doesn't include any info on ""Pastor Sam"". It took some digging, but I found an article on the Center (that mentions Smith) at SouthCoastToday.com, the online face of The Standard Times , a New Bedford, Massachusetts newspaper.

And yes, the previous anonymous IP was used by Me, though it is shared. -- EddieSegoura 09:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Sysops must follow policy for VFD, just like any user. Once an article has been nominated, it must remain here for at least 2 weeks unless a specific case for speedy deletion is appropriate. We have no SD case for deleting an actual quote article from an unnotable person short of a libel precedent. HOWEVER, we do have a (possibly never used) clause — SD case #7 — that implies that editors (not just sysops) may move main-namespace articles that are appropriate as user pages into the user namespace, then delete the redirect after a few days. (It still refers to ""Wikipedia"" instead of ""Wikiquote"" — another indication that we need to put some effort into updating WQ:SD.) I will ask Eddie if this would satisfy him. I'm convinced he just wasn't aware of our ""no-vanity article"" policy and made a common mistake. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:04, 27 December 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] While I don't agree with such a rule, redirecting or moving (whichever one suits (talk) best) is okay with Me -- EddieSegoura 04:40, 28 December 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Tyrenius 17:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I hesitate generally to combine anon sig with a certain registered user on another project, so I'd like to think it anon's comment as usual: it could be hardly proven and the identification is not the matter of ""assume good faith"". Note that I don't say if it is impostoring or not; we will take his or her comment based on assuming good faith, but it isn't relevant principally who said that. So I prefer to stroke ""faked sigs"" rather keep them, since I convince we shouldn't encourage anon editors to comment in such a manner. However I can accept a compromise to put a remark like JeffQ made. As for the latter part of his second comment, I can't simply understand why he should input it. VfD is not a place to change policy at all and there is no reason a EN WP policy should instantly be appliable to other projects. I appreciate your information though, but feel the autonomy of our project threaten and ignored. Even on good faith, it could be still very annoyable. -- Aphaia 05:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Hoax background on wikipedia NB Tyrenius is not the hoaxer! -- Tyrenius 15:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC) (first edit on wikiquote) [ reply ] Not sure of the procedure here, but I thought I'd mention all the other articles in this batch have been speedy deleted on wikipedia via a creative interpretation of ""blatant vandalism"". Tyrenius 17:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . If even Wikipedia is having to interpret its rules loosely to SD a hoax, we, with our 2-year-older limited rules, are pretty much stuck with a VfD, I think. Google search currently shows only 4 hits for ""Satchel Cohen"", the first two of which are WP (now defunct) and WQ (soon to be so). I don't think this merits a blanking to avoid propagating the hoax during the VfD. In fact, watching Google hits in the next two weeks might make for an interesting case study in how quickly Wikiquote gets mirrored to other quote websites.

This is a delicate situation, as the author is apparently a young woman who not only discusses her many serious psychological problems openly on the web, but has also resorted to emotional blackmail over (occasionally cruel) criticisms of its Wikipedia article in its nomination for deletion and on her deviantART website , possibly aided by a well-meaning but ill-advised attempt by an anonymous editor to bolster her spirits by defending her articles despite policy. Nevertheless, her work does not yet meet any Wikimedia notability guidelines, as she herself has recognized, as mentioned on her talk page. (In short, this book is self-published through Lulu Press (""Self-publishing for print-on-demand books"", as its title page says), has an Amazon ranking below 2 million, and has no cited critical reviews or other notability factors. ) Nevertheless, I wish her well with this and her other creative works, which may provide her a positive, cathartic outlet for her self-destructive feelings. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete. - InvisibleSun 00:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete. 121a0012 21:22, 8 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . ~ UDScott 13:12, 9 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . — LrdChaos 14:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Wikiquote is not a service for posting quotes from everyday individuals like you, me, and Mr. Markham. It is a compendium of quotes from notable people and works, verifiable through reliable sources, just as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of notable topics compiled from verifiable, reliable sources. It's not a personal judgment. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I consider Mr Markham to be no mere ""everyday individual"" but a great man, if sites such as this cannot be used to post quotes that have not come from ""reliable sources"" any chance of gaining recognition will be denied. is there a page where great quotes regardless of author notability can be posted surely it is what is said rather than who said it which is important. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.224.207.61 ( talk • contribs ) 10:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] You might try Googling ""quotes"" or ""quotations"" for such websites. I'd point out, however, than some well-known websites that contain quotes from many unnotable people (by WQ standards) seem to be trying, at least half-heartedly, to refocus on famous people, based on their Googled titles and summary lines (although this is rarely obvious from their home pages and sometimes hard to determine even if you hunt through their ""about"" and ""FAQ"" pages). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . I suspect now that this article is actually a complete hoax, based on the fact that it was created by 195.224.207.61 , whose only other contribution (other than unsigned VfD posts) has been to create Jack Pownall , a much more obvious hoax article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Upon searching Wikipedia I was happy to see that Geoff Markham was listed, however a little disappointed to find that he is up for deletion. Geoff Markham is co-author of 'Physics in Action', and a worthy candidate for Wikipedia. He is certainly a notable individual. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.224.207.61 ( talk • contribs ) 11:54, 16 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I've added the missing anonymous signatures and timestamps to show that the person making this comment, who apparently is trying to sound like they just discovered this article, is from the same IP that commented earlier and that created the article. (It's conceivable that they are different people using the same address, but past experience suggests it's more likely that this is a single newcomer to WQ who isn't aware that we can identify posters even when they don't sign.) As far as the Physics in Action claim, I found not a single Google hit using the combination of the book title and any of ""geoff markham"", ""geoffrey markham"", ""markham geoff"", and ""markham geoffrey"". Furthermore, neither Amazon.com (US) or Amazon.co.uk have such a title in their databases. I invite the editor to provide evidence that this book (or the person, for that matter) even exists. Alternatively, they are welcome to try to add Markham to Wikipedia, if he is indeed notable (but don't be surprised if the WP article gets axed even faster there). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:56, 16 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Okay, this may be overkill, but the Wikipedia comment intrigued me. I noticed that wikipedia:User:195.224.207.61 has a history of nonsense edits on Wikipedia, many involving Bryanston School , which happens to be in Dorset , the supposed location of Markham. The Wikiquote Markham article was created four days after this IP's last edit on WP, for which they were threatened with imminent blocking. Add this all up, and we likely have a juvenile hoaxer who took his marbles and came here when WP wouldn't let them play. I'm sure Bryanston head Sarah Thomas would be so proud. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it.

Death is one of the largest ideas in all of Shakespeare (with maybe Time, rule, and the idea of unions of love as other candidates), and it is not at all unreasonable to give such a theme it's own page. If all of those ideas were explored in any depth, the Shakespeare page would be unreadably-long. At the very least, give me (and the wiki population) time to explore the page a little before we just delete it (I only made it a number of hours ago). -- Clotten 07:27, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) Comment: The point, I believe, is that if we had a ""theme in word"" policy, wikiquote would explode from the sheer number of articles (each decent TV show has lots of themes, each movie, etc. etc.). We are happy to have those quotes on the specific plays in which they happen. Arranging quotes by play makes more sense. If you want to have a review of a ""Death in Shakespeare"", please feel free to write such an article on wikipedia, using quotes from various pages on wikiquote as reference. By the way, is there a reason for you not to add the quotes to the plays' pages too , if you insist of adding them to this article? What you are doing now creates a burden on the maintainers to copy quotes. MosheZadka 07:58, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) You and I have different paradigms; either a page on Shakespeare's characters' last words is worthwhile or it is not. You have no empirical proof and neither do I. Therefore, we simply need more feedback: if other people can help us by giving their opinions and one of us is supported by a majority, then the person will be shown to be correct (at least in a limited sense) by the Wiki population. And then, even if a later population disagrees, at least they can delete it. -- Clotten 08:21, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) Moreover, Shakespeare is one of the largest subjects of attention, both academic and popular, of any writer in Western history. Surely if anyone is worthy of detailed, specific and extensive pages, it is someone like Shakespeare I'm going to sleep, so at the very least please do not delete this anytime soon. -- Clotten 08:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) Comment:(To Clotten) I would be happy you estimate our formatting canon on voting instead introduce your own and you read our rule. Vote will closes two weeks later as written so on the above. -- Aphaia 11:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) Sorry about that; I should have read over the rules before commenting here. That being said, I have fleshed the page out considerably, and now I think that it can be judged on its own merits. -- Clotten 18:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) Don't mind and I accept your apoligy willingly. I feel I can guess how you were upset when you found it was listed on VFD - every editor have such experience. And again, thank you for your understanding. -- Aphaia 19:20, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) It was judged on its own merits ab-initio. You were the one who insisted on judging it on extrinsic merits ("" Moreover, Shakespeare is one of the largest subjects of attention, both academic and popular, of any writer in Western history ), a rather shaky foundation. I noticed you still insist on not adding the quotes to the plays' pages. Why is that? MosheZadka 04:16, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) I think the point is that the quotes are not of much interest on their own, hidden in a mass of famous one-line sound bites. However, when put together, each different quote reinforces the next, creating a page that is much stronger that the sum of its separated parts. Think about it this way: would the Shakespeare page be improved if all of the quote pages for his individual plays were merged into it? And, to stay relevant, what about the Famous Last Words page? Why isn't that page deleted and all the individual quotes added to the speakers' pages? Let me attempt to supply you with some proof, so we can base this conversation on something more than our conflicting opinions. In The Arden Dictionary of Shakespeare Quotations (1999), ""death"" is the second largest topic in the index, after time and before love. With the possible addition of language, those topics are literally the biggest and most-explored ideas in Shakespeare. If you absolutely insist, I would not mind creating a page for Shakespeare's quotes about death and adding the Last Words to that page. But, otherwise, the fact remains that this is no fringe topic. And, given that the page is well constructed page that includes both very popular and famous quotes with less famous but revealing, and, come on, interesting quotes, I once again propose to you that it is a worthwhile bit of organization. And, to get away from the merits of the page and to touch upon your personal comments, I'm not insisting on not putting the quotes on other pages. If the last words page loses the vote and then I remake the page anyway and don't put the quotes on the already-existing Shakespeare pages, then I would be ""insisting"". But please don't try to make me look spiteful. I most certainly will add the quotes to the pages from their respective plays if this page is deleted. -- Clotten 21:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC) Keep : It's an interesting compendium and that's Wikiquote's purpose. (I'm still new though.. am I mistaken?) -- Slac 16:15, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) Delete , with some reservations.

The consensus was not to have a separate article, but we were undecided on whether to delete it or redirect it to Humor , the latter of which was done. This subcategory of jokes is perhaps more manageable. Knock-knock jokes are a very quotable cultural phenomenon, but there seems to be a community reluctance to get into the joke-catalog business. The lack of sources is also especially problematic, although this could be addressed by finding some joke books from which to cite. Finally, if we keep this article, we need to figure out how to format it, as each full quote will be exactly 5 separate lines, the first two of which are identical and therefore space-wasting. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Do Not Delete .

This appears to be Turkish, perhaps ""Quote of the day"" (gün=day, söz=remark). The sole entry is apparently a Turkish version of an Archimedes quote, which even my best efforts couldn't adequately translate. However, it is cited in w:tr:Arşimet , Turkish Wikipedia's Archimedes article, which isn't a translation of the en:WP article and in fact may be a copyvio of [43] . (It's tempting to think the quote may be ""Give me a fulcrum, and I shall move the world"", especially because of ""dayanak"" (foundation) and ""dünyayı"" (dünya=earth), and the fact that most quote dictionaries have only this quote and ""Eureka!"", narrowing the possibilities. ) But enough of ""Fun with Turkish"".

Where is the online drama taking place? Is it verifiable? Is it arranged according to episodes? ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:58, 28 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . As a supposed ""online radio play"", based on its current total absence from Google, it sounds like the ""viral marketing"" this article talks about has Wikiquote as Patient Zero. We should sterilize this before the infection spreads. (I find it intriguing that even the supposed alternate reality game (ARG) described in the 13-month-old WP article seems to have no Google presence. ) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:29, 21 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Ignore my oh-so-clever Google statement above; I screwed up the search (see below). After reviewing the WP article , its substantive history, its talk page, and several of its references (including an article from Wired ), I'm inclined to think that HA has achieved enough notability to be kept. If anyone believes this whole subject is suspiciously fannish, I suggest a VfD nomination on Wikipedia, which would bring out a much larger audience to review the available material. Till then, unless provided refuting data, I'll support this article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:31, 29 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Save . I'm not sure what the above users mean by an absence of google presence (as you can see here: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-14,GGLD:en&q=haunted+apiary ). As to the confusion between online radio play and ARG, the Haunted Apiary was definitely an ARG, which used a series of radio-drama like snippets to progress the storyline. Well, don't I feel stupid. I went to double-check my own Google search and found that I'd misspelled ""apiary"". No wonder I found nothing! My apologies. I'll review the new info. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:27, 28 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Unsigned vote struck. (Please read the first paragraph of this page.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:33, 29 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Save . Haunted Apiary served as both an ARG and a radio drama; the story was told through the radio drama, which was unlocked by playing the game. An online radio game would be one of many accurate explanations. Unsigned vote struck. (Please read the first paragraph of this page.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:33, 29 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The ""radio play"" (a term meaning radio drama , BTW) is what the ARG was built around. The drama's episodes can be found at http://www.ilovebees.com/humptydumpty.html -- OGoncho 05:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] After checking almost 20 of the WAV files provided at the ""humptydumpty"" page, I have to say that they are singularly unimpressive to someone who has no knowledge of the material (and, in fact, sound rather inane). Nor do they seem to include the actual quotes listed in the article. (I didn't listen to every clip, but I did look at every ""title"" and compare it to the listed quotes, with no apparent connection.) It might help this article's case if a citation of the specific quote samples was given, assuming they're available. Supporters should consider that, for most VfD-nominated articles, they are trying to convince a community, most of whose members likely have no prior knowledge of the subject. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:44, 29 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Jon Canter and Douglas Adams were both writers of the Cambridge Footlights Revue in 1974, in which Canter acted as well. [47] It seems likely that Adams reused this line, perhaps only spoken by Canter in a role, in Hitchhiker's Guide four years later. However, without evidence that Canter actually wrote it, one must strongly suspect that it originated with Adams. Who is claiming Canter wrote it? I found nothing other than the usual-suspect websites making undocumented assertions, and a reference to an older version of the Wikiquote page. (I couldn't easily find which version, because its anon editors almost never use the edit summary like they're supposed to.)

I don't feel comfortable voting until I understand why they exist in the first place. — Jeff Q (talk) 21:48, 9 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Just assumption. They were once in the project namespace, they were named ""wikipedia"" (because then the site was ""quote.wikipedia.org""). From some point, Wikipedia:XX can't be accessed as a page on Wikiquote, and then those files were recovered by a developer and then moved to the current places by Kalki, around 17 July 2004. So I guess those files (including redirects) aren't necessary to keep, but also not neccesary to delete. They occupy ""Ancientpages"" and some special pages and a bit annoying but it would be okay simply to turn them to redirects. Those two merged because they were double-redirects; I fixed them to the correct descinations. -- Aphaia 23:24, 9 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete them all . The main article namespace shouldn't have titles like ""Recovered"", even if they're redirects. As long as the page histories are intact in the current articles (and based on a few spot checks, it looks like they are), we should get rid of all of these unneeded and confusing pages left over from a maintenance operation. — Jeff Q (talk) 06:43, 11 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete all .

It is true Full Metal Panic! (in progress, over 10 volumns now?) is his sole notable work. I don't know however how his works are known in English speaking world. -- Aphaia 05:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not familiar with FMP! , but I sense a Japanese version of the ""comic book vs. graphic novel"" argument here. In English, the word ""novel"" (as a noun) is usually reserved for books that are almost all text, at most only incidentally illustrated. ""Comic books"" are stories told primarily through illustration. (Confusingly, they are not books, but magazines, and frequently have little or nothing to do with ""comedy"" — an unfortunate demonstration of language drift.) The term ""graphic novel"", which does serve as a more descriptive term, seems mostly an attempt by the comic book industry to gain more respect for comic book collections printed in book form; they are still told primarily through illustration. Our FMP! article refers to the series as ""manga"", which the WP article defines briefly as ""comics and print cartoons"". WP's FMP! article , in my quick reading, doesn't make clear whether the book part of the series is mostly text or mostly illustration. All this, of course, is irrelevant to the keep-or-delete debate, but I'd like to know which side of this divide Gatou's work falls on. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete both , as neither page has any quotes. — LrdChaos 14:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

If deleted, this would set a precedent as our first deletion of a major category's mostly-redundant list article. There are disadvantages to this (primarily in the ease of viewing all members of a category, including subcategories), but I think they're outweighed by the maintenance nightmare and the misinformation provided by an inadequately maintained list.

List articles don't work well in MediaWiki, since they require human maintenence every time a relevant article is created or deleted, and too often, they never are, since many people aren't aware of the existence of corresponding list articles for categories. The one advantage to a list, seeing all the related articles without having to peek into subcategories, doesn't really come into play in this case, since there's only one subcategory of Category:Electronic games ( Category:Final Fantasy (series) ), and none of the entries in the subcategory appear in the list (instead, the Final Fantasy page is linked, but doesn't link to any of the invididual game pages; I'll try to clean that up a bit later today, if I have time). — LrdChaos 15:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

I am voting to keep because I am aware of the significance of Mason Stahl. Mr. Stahl is a well known lawyer and rapper in the Boston area. His has been featured in a PBS documentary about his unique blend of law and hip-hop. Since he has been featured in a documentary produced by a reputable source I am voting to keep. Muzakman 16:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you for your kind words. Can you give links to any of the stuff you mention, for independent verification? If he's a ""well known rapper"", has he produced any CDs? A link to amazon, or indeed giving the ISBN (some CDs have them) or anything like that would be nice. Regarding that PBS documentary, can you give a link to the schedule of that documentary? Has he been featured in any Boston newspapers? Again, specific dates and articles (and links, if they're online) would do a world of good here. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 17:55, 28 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete unless evidence of notability provided. Stahl has little or no presence on Wikipedia (even mentions in w:May 4 and w:List of hip hop musicians were apparently removed). All-Music Guide doesn't list him. On Google, besides cached versions of WP and the current WQ page, I didn't spot him on the first few pages, where I even found mention of a high school student of that name. This strongly suggests he's at most a local phenomenon. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:06, 7 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete I too can find no information about this person other than what has been cited above.

Keep ""Template:Wikimedia"" for now, as it may be a useful substitute for multiple interwiki boxes. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:58, 13 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: Re: Template: Please note that the only page currently using the template is the above-mentioned Portal. I do not believe it is a coincidence. Notice that it links to pages with the same name on the 'pedia (which is sane), wiktionary (which we rarely do -- we usually only link to wiktionary in theme pages if it's obvious there'll be no 'pedia article), 'source (which we link to when it's a written source in the PD, which is quite rare anyway, but in any case certainly not in themes) and commons (which we almost never link to -- the only sane reasons would be audio/video files of someone saying quotes, and so would be mostly from people pages). Note also that 'source and 'pedia themselves often disagree on naming, and wikiquote sometimes disagrees with either of them (I think we try to strive for true to source at all costs much more than wikipedia, so we often use & where they use and -- I guess it's a cultural thing). So, to sum up, the only way the template could be useful, ever, is if we had an article which is named the same in 'pedia, 'source and commons, we would think that even though we have a 'pedia link, a wiktionary link would be useful, and that the commons link is useful for quotes. The likelihood for that is so low, that if it does crop up when we're 50K articles, we might as well just use four boxes (for something like that, surely the list of external links would be large enough so the four boxes + external links would actually take up less vert-space than using the template). However , for portals , this template makes perfect sense: the Law portal on wikiquote would link to the Law portal on 'pedia, the Law portal on wiktionary (useful for those pesky legal terms), the Law portal on commons (illustrating the quotes, perhaps?) and a link to the Law portal on 'source (so people would have an easy time browsing all the source files) and even a link to the Law portal on 'books (so people could learn more about the law to understand what quotations mean). So, if we decide that at this point in time we're not ready for portals (before discussion, using demos in Wikiquote namespace and so on), I am pretty sure this template will remain useless.

Result: Keep (1 Keep, 1 implicit Keep, 1 Redirect/Delete; article was also made useful in the interim). — Jeff Q (talk) 23:27, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC) Redirect or rename? Category use is still fairly new. Is there not a useful meta-topic in this somewhat vague term? I haven't noticed an overview or central article on Category use (like w:Wikipedia:Category ) here at Wikiquote. I offer to copy and edit some stuff from Wikipedia unless there is something here that I've just missed. — Jeff Q (talk) 22:06, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC) Keep . I've changed my vote after Rmhermen turned this into a useful article. There's now a substantial discussion about categorization on its Talk page, as well, which I hope other Wikiquotians will participate in. — Jeff Q (talk) 23:31, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC) I prefer to turn it into a redirect or delete it simply. A document ""Category"" (or Categories) would be very helpful! But I think we don't need not every categories on Wikipedia - like ""1700 death"". *g -- Aphaia 09:56, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC) I didn't mean we need to use Wikipedia categories themselves. I'd just like to see a ""Wikiquote:"" namespace page that explains categories and provides some guidance on how to name them and use them, tailored to Wikiquote needs. I'm sure Categories have been discussed elsewhere in Wikiquote, but there should be a central, logical place to find such discussions. — Jeff Q (talk) 20:47, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC) I have some questions about category. Where do we discuss this? Rmhermen 23:12, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC) Perhaps on Village pump for now. I'm writing up a summary of the Wikiquote category situation as I see it, which I hope to post there in the next few hours. But don't let me hold you up. — Jeff Q (talk) 01:19, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC) I started a new discussion on the village pump about filling in some gaps in Wikiquote's current use of Wikimedia Categories.

Rmhermen 14:05, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC) Keep : I change my opinion.

Aphaia 13:55, 27 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I've added quotes from the film -- I left the quotes about the film. I wasn't sure of the verdict on those -- should they stay? Is this something that is appropriate for other films? I assumed the quotes would only be from the film, not about it, but I'm certainly flexible. -- UDScott 15:24, 26 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] We often have quotes about people on their people pages. I certainly feel quotes about a work belong in the article about the work -- after all, we are called ""wikiquote"", not ""wikimoviequote"".

Stern is from Carnegie Mellon University 's Information Technology Center and is published in computer science periodicals.

I suggest moving those quotes to Computers and then deleting this article. I have also posted a message to MadUrban's Talk page to ask for counter-arguments.

I don't believe we are legally permitted to keep either of these images without obtaining explicit permission. However, I don't feel I can properly close this vote. There are two evenly divided explicit votes (although one can arguably infer a ""delete"" from Rmhermen's original posting), which would imply no consensus, but since that has the same effect as my ""keep"" vote, I feel it might be controversial. I propose we close this vote as inconclusive, immediately request explicit permission for the use of one or both of these photos, and then revote for deletion whichever image we don't have permission for, or that we think we don't need. — Jeff Q (talk) 06:15, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Based on its original inclusion of a tag for Category:Films in China , this category appears to be an attempt to differentiate PRC films from perhaps Taiwanese films; i.e., drawing a distinction between the popular concept of ""China"" and the multiple political entities that claim that name. I will annoyingly remind everyone that I had predicted this kind of contention over collections by geography or nationality. Get used to it; it'll only get worse. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] More reason to delete: It appears that this category is part of a initial effort by 142.166.198.170 and Gavinnauss (certainly the same person, given their brief edit histories) to categorize films both by setting and by ""language"" (presumably language spoken in the official release, not any after-market dubbing). This effort seems to have been inspired by only a single article, Kill Bill . The nine categories created under Films by setting and Films by language all ultimately point solely to KB , and this category under VfD was included as part of that flurry of categorizing activity. I seriously doubt that we have the community motivation to establish these two additional forms of film categorization at this time, just because one article (itself in unanswered need of cleanup) can benefit from the unusual inclusion of several of these categories.

If someone identifies this very quickly as WP's Davies, we should clean it up ASAP, especially removing the POV statements and unsourced ""interpretations"".

Indeed, according to his website, Mardon seems more notable (through publications) than his Institute (no sources, only 20 unique Google hits).

If this article is a complete or even substantial part of the work, it should go to Wikisource instead. And they will only accept it if the material is either public domain or explicitly released under a GFDL or Creative Commons license, not just a personal attestation that an editor is allowed to distribute it.

I don't see anything in the article worth merging, frankly. Liner notes rarely make for pithy quotes, and copying the whole text is probably a copyvio. I've wondered about this article for a while. 66.52.252.210 created it over 18 months ago, as their sole edit, putting it in Category:Boyd Rice and Friends albums (the only album-list category we've ever had), as if to start adding quotes (or maybe just liner notes) from other albums as well. A week later, 66.52.247.28 (very likely the same person) created Boyd Rice , but added arguably useful quotes at least. (This IP address only contributed one other edit, creating the Anton LaVey stub, containing only a quote from — you guessed it — Boyd Rice.)

I wanted to close this overdue vote, but I don't feel comfortable interpreting the dialog. There's 1 official Delete, 1 ""inclined to keep"", and perhaps an implicit delete from the nominator, but it's somewhat unclear. (Moshe usually registers a clear vote, so I'm inclined to interpret his lack of vote as a query for information.) Therefore, I've extended the close date for 1 more week. If no clearer votes are registered, I will consider the current state insufficient consensus. Two deletes to 1 keep, even when unambiguous, is barely a consensus, so I feel it needs to be clear to call it as anything but a no-consensus keep (especially when I've registered the only official Delete). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:49, 21 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] VOTE CLOSED.

I did find a 1970 book, Observations , by a ""Katherine Whitehorn"" on Amazon UK, but not enough information to indicate if it's the same person. The original article was created along with a bunch of others which were merely single quotes and links to quote-fox, our infamous quote spammer. There's enough circumstantial evidence to make me want to vote ""keep"", but we want reliable sources and notability. Do any Wikiquotians have a copy of or access to Observations ? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:14, 13 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: though I found any copy of her book, but found a quote spam on blog comment areas attributed to her, and another quote on a Japanese quote page [19] . The site owner said he found a quote from her on a quotation book in English. I concur with Moshe - she could be notable but not so much perhaps like Nadine Gordiner or other authors. Unless we decide to delete all quote-fox spamming, I incline to keep it currently. -- Aphaia 06:32, 16 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: Thanks, yes, when I don't vote I mean not to vote -- sorry for not making it clearer. I usually try to vote, because I know how small the quorums usually are and I want to make the problem less acute. However, in this case, I felt I'm really not sure what to do. Jeff implied that she did publish a book, which is usually enough to determine notability here. However, nobody is sure if it the same person, even, which is sad. If anyone has a copy of the book, and wants to add quotations from it to the article, I think the best thing would be to add a ""...is an author who wrote..."", see if there's any bio-details on the jacket, and move the quote to talk pending some clearer attribution/sourcing. Barring that, I'm really not sure what would be the best for the project. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:21, 21 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Rmhermen 17:18, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC) Rmhermen, your comment implies that we want to include Inuits and others in the category. Why shouldn't they be in a separate category? What is the intended subset of peoples to be represented by this category? Aren't we really talking about ""people of the Americas whose ancestors arrived between 25,000 BCE and 1000 CE"", or ""people of the Americas whose ancestors weren't from colonizing European nations""? And where do we fit notable people who have ancestors in both the earlier and later populations? — Jeff Q (talk) 17:34, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) Keep . Citing Rmhermen's citation. Delete Category:Amerindians . A note on the categorization by nationality/geography/ethnicity in this particular circumstance. I didn't want the term ""Native American"", often misconstrued as a native of the territory of the United States, to be so misconstrued. However, after reading this , I relent. -- Benn M 19:39, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) Comment: I don't think it is a good idea to begin another vote on a certain deletion vote (because every vote needs at least 14 days and it make the discussion unclear). -- Aphaia 07:37, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC) Comment: As a native American (i.e., someone born in America), I take offense to this categorization. (Not enough to vote one way or another on it; just enough to make inconvenient, probing comments.) My friend Magdalena is also a native American, having been born in Mexico, North America. Yes, our ancestors participated in the slaughter of the earlier residents (the so-called indigenous peoples, who themselves moved in from Asia and/or Pacific islands), but then again, some of our ancestors were probably from those very same earlier occupants, putting many of us on both sides of this classification divide. This is what I mean by arguing that such distinctions are inherently misleading, confusing, and therefore of dubious value. — Jeff Q (talk) 17:34, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) So you also take offense to wikipedia:Category:Native Americans ? I don't see the value in making isolated decisions on issues that aren't related to quotations. Therefore, if it's important to you, since you're an active wikipedia user I suggest that you also raise this issue there. Sams 20:30, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) Not to mention w:Category:Murdered Native Americans . -- Benn M 23:54, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) Yes, I object to both Wikipedia categories on the ""Native American"" part (not the murdered part, as long as it's supported by facts). But I've already said I'm on no crusade on categories, and this goes double for Wikipedia. I am mainly interested in preventing the importing of such crusades into an understaffed Wikiquote without good reason. It's like an "" unfunded mandate "" — we add complexity to WQ without the means to maintain it, except, of course, that we do it to ourselves voluntarily. — Jeff Q (talk) 01:03, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC) It seems like a contradiction to me when you say ""add complexity to WQ"", because the simple option is to use the common ""Native American"", while you're making an argument that the common terminology shouldn't be used, thus introducing complexities. So how come that you say in this context that you're interested in preventing complexities? Sams 01:30, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC) The complexity I refer to is adding the never-ending arguments that ensue from using inherently controversial classifications to our already overextended set of unresolved issues. I was not in favor of introducing categories by nationality, geography, or ethnic background. I realize that it's inevitable that we'll have these; I just didn't want to deal with it so soon. Every active user on Wikiquote has at least 5 or 6 things they feel we should add, modify, standardize, or otherwise change, and many of them are unique to each user. The resulting pile-up of administrative work is a real headache.

As opposed to a collection of quotes from a person, or about a theme, it's quotes that resemble a different quote. — LrdChaos 18:32, 2 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Vote closed. Result: delete after various merges (1 Delete; 2 Deletes after copy to quotees; 1 Keep accepting transfer to Logic ). This is quite complicated, as User:^demon transwikied this and another article from Wikipedia without following any of the transwiki guidelines , and now we are left to do the job correctly. I will leave this article in place until I can do all the ""paperwork"", then delete it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Everything has now been copied into appropriate articles as listed below (including a Star Wars quote I'd failed to notice before), the transwiki logged on both WP and WQ, and the transwikied article deleted. This was the most complicated transwiki I've ever done! Thanks goodness most are much easier. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . — LrdChaos 18:32, 2 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete after copying 3 of the 4 quotes to relevant articles ( The Bible , George W. Bush ). (If someone wants to create a stub article for Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, they're welcome to do so, but I feel certain we don't have the community interest in such an article, and the single quote isn't even sourced.) Writing an article on this topic is like looking through the wrong end of a telescope, either for Wikiquote or Wikipedia. In WP, quotes are used to illustrate a topic; they aren't topics themselves. In WQ, quotes are collected under a general topic, and variations are grouped into a single entry in a topic, not as a full-fledged article. Millions of people have used this concept, but it is absurdly impractical to collect all these instances, even just the ones we can find reliable sources for. What's important about the quotes themselves is the origin of the concept (traced back to the Bible in this article), and notable users because of the contexts (Bush and Daniels, for political purposes). If we're so inclined, we can create internal links from the latter-day instances back to the putative original to connect them, but we certainly don't want to encourage such ultra-specific theme articles. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete , concur with the above. This seems much too specific for a theme. ~ UDScott 20:28, 2 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Perhaps rename to False dilemma logical fallacy - I agree it's rather absurdly specific, and yet I find it really, really interesting to be able to contrast the wide-ranging tenor of these quotes expressing the same idea. I can see how this kind of thing would be useful, and how pages like this could be indexed by categories for easy findability, and most importantly, how this would set Wikiquote apart from other quotation sources that focus on people or quotes featuring a specific word. BD2412 T 02:48, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Upon further review, I note that this same content exists under the same name on Wikipedia, where numerous authors have contributed to bring it to this state (which is still a string of quotes). BD2412 T 02:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] BD2412's suggestion reminds me that we have a section on logical fallacies at Logic . Perhaps we could place one or more of these quotes under a ""False dilemma"" subheading in that section (in addition to the merge into the appopriate quotee articles). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Excellent idea. BD2412 T 03:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I have proposed a similar merge with respect to the Wikipedia article.

Since it seems promising nonetheless, I took some trouble to notify each of the 5 anonymous editors that we'd like some help on verifying this person's notability. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: I did find one reference: the book Vorsicht: Medizin (Aphorismen zum Gesundheitswesen und zur Gesundheitspolitik) (English: Caution: Medicine (Aphorisms for Health Services and Public Health Policy) [my rough translation]) by Gerhard Kocher; publisher Ott Verlag (2000), ISBN 3722569303 . I have no way of knowing whether this is a very popular or exceedingly obscure book. We again run into the question of how well-known should a person be in the English-speaking world to be considered notable for inclusion on en:Wikiquote. Hopefully our Swiss or German friends can help with more information. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:21, 4 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep The quotes are interesting, and obviously somebody said them. Put a header on it requesting more information. MScott 10:56 4 August 2005 Above vote was added by 67.154.144.146 at 17:54 (UTC). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:05, 5 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: The point is the notability of GK is in question. It's not a matter of having said them, it's a matter of being notable enough to be on WQ. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 17:59, 4 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] The article already has a VFD notice at the top, which is an implicit call for more justification. In addition, as I said above, I've added a explicit request for more info on its talk page (the standard place to raise such issues) and on the talk pages of each of the IP users who added material. The Wikiquote community doesn't need to prove something is notable; the contributing editor has that onus. I only went through this considerable effort because I believe this article has a good chance to survive, but the best way to ensure that is to provide the requested evidence. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:34, 4 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Gerhard Kocher is totally unnotable. He himself added these citations, as he added his own citations to several articles of the German Wikipedia (where they have been deleted meanwhile). 212.254.x.y are his IPs, known from German Wikipedia. G.K. is absolutely unknown in Switzerland. -- 81.62.64.163 00:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I'm Swiss and I've got his Book ""Vorsicht, Medizin"". Not all of Gerhard Kochers aphorisms are brilliant, some of them are pretty lame - but there's no need to delete them. -- Thomas 19:39, 5 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: This is just getting more confusing. I went to de:Wikiquote and found that our article is a small subset of their article, apparently all from the book I mentioned above (which they'd noted on their article's talk page last year). I also found that there is no de:Wikipedia article, although, not being a sysop there, I don't know if it's been deleted before (as 81.62.64.163 may have implied). 81.62 provides no evidence that 212.254.* is actually Gerhard Kocher, and even if it was, it is allowed in Wikidom to edit your own articles if you're article-worthy (even though it's understandably frowned upon, for neutrality reasons). We could just assume that a lack of both a de:Wikipedia article and a published English translation of Vorsicht, Medizin makes this insufficiently notable for en:Wikiquote. I'd prefer to have more data, if possible. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:32, 6 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: extended the vote by a week. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:51, 20 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . After 2 weeks, I'm unimpressed by the arguments either for or against this person. But Wikiquotes are a good place for unnotable people to get an audience, because they have much fewer eyeballs to check these kinds of issues. If Gerhard Kocher isn't notable enough even to get an article in de:Wikipedia, let alone en:Wikipedia, I think we might wait until the German folks settle this before allowing his fans to use en:Wikiquote to promote his material. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:17, 20 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete convinced by Jeff's arguments. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 10:35, 20 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: de.wp seems to have deleted GK's article. My German is non-existant, are there any German speakers who can see if they can find the VfD page for GK's article? Then we can use babelfish to translate it and see some more enlightening discussion. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:22, 21 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] My German isn't great, either, but based on the page history of w:de:Gerhard Kocher shown in ""View deleted pages"", I think their GK experienced 2 Schnelllöschungen (speedy deletions) on 22 Oct 2004 (implying either an obvious SD (SL) candidate or an even older VfD ( LK ) that an anonymous editor tried to override twice in one day). I haven't been able to track it back any further yet, and now something seems to be wrong with wiki search. There is no ""Wikipedia:Löschkandidaten/Gerhard Kocher"" (the German equivalent of WP's VFD archive format), but they may use a different system. I found no trace of GK in their deletion log, but I saw something that implied the standard log wasn't authoritative for activity earlier than 23 Dec 2004. Anyway, it looks like a long-dead issue there. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:00, 23 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete I concur with Jeff. Both this article and de equivalent, and de wikipedia articles were started by an anon, 212.254.97.144. And our article has no other substantial contributors. If an article will be submitted by same IP addresses, it would be a good speedy candidate. From other addresses, or another person, it will be better to consider its notability again. -- Aphaia 20:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] The person, who created w:de:Gerhard Kocher twice, was Gerhard Kocher himself. The IP 212.254.97.144 belonged to him. I have no real proof, but good evidence for that. The person with this IP subscribed by ""GK"" several times, see e.g. [42] . -- 83.76.75.245 13:09, 25 August 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

This appears to be the result of a common mistake — creating an article solely for a single quote, with the quote as its title. Ordinarily, I'd recommend moving it into another article, but I'm not sure where this one should go. Does it belong in Religion or related articles? Might it best be put into Sports ? Should it go into a geographic article like Australia , as ""Hawthorn"" is a place in that country? Even if we figure this out, we should have a source. My initial attempts to Google one [65] led to Melbourne's Herald Sun [66] , but the best link for the article no longer works, and HS refers researchers to a registration-only site for article text. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:58, 11 February 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge with Sports , make the explanation concise, and mention the Herald Sun as a source, after consideration of the above points. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:16, 16 February 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .

There are 28 Matt or Matthew Smiths listed in IMDb. If someone can identify which one is supposedly the subject of this article, we might have a reason not to delete it. As for the films this ""famous director"" is supposed to have helmed: Two Guys Talking : no IMDb record of this exact title; no prominent Google presence; Two Guys Talking About Girls was directed by Steven Pearl Pillow Talk : neither the famous Doris Day/Rock Hudson film nor the apparently obscure 1991 short film lists Smith as participating, let alone directing This Is Not a Pipe : there's a book by philosopher Michel Foucault, but no record in IMDb as a film; the article's phrase ""steadily building popularity"" is an alarm bell for ""non-notable"" Breakup.beer.party : also no IMDb record; not one Google hit, with or without the punctuation, spelled either ""breakup"" or ""break up"" In short, as of this point, we have no reason to believe this is anything but a hoax or an incredibly obscure person.

This is an obvious non-notability case. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:34, 22 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Tarmy is specifically described on the page as a nihilist philosopher. At this stage in his academic work, his nihilism tends towards that described in Nietzsche's later work. Nietzsche characterizes his brand of nihilism as a philosophy regarding the world and human existence as empty of meaning, purpose, and value. Tarmy does not formally publishing any of his works, though they are in informal circulation. Tarmy's philosophy revolves around filling a life left devoid of meaning with the one thing that remains to satisfy the human heart: material wealth. Tarmy approaches the postmodern concept of nihilism (a philosophy less defeatist than that of Nietzsche) from this direction. Material wealth is the only thing left for humans to ""fill the void"" (Tarmy, 06/25/04), the only thing that can provide any semblance of happiness or fulfillment in human existence in a world where such a individualistic capitalist slave-state exists. As Tarmy's philosophy moves from Nietzsche's concept of nihilism (with defeatism a distinct characteristic) towards a more postmodern nihilistic stance, his attitude towards formal publication may change, but it is impossible to say for sure. User:Mdmalinowski 21:07, 22 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: Mdmalinowski is probably Matthew David Malinowski, who is, like James Tarmy, a University of Chicago student. [44] Mgasner , assuming they're not a sockpuppet of Mdmalinowski, may be Max Gasner, apparently yet another U of Chicago student. [45] We have a straightforward policy on students that follows Wikipedia guidelines as well. No amount of fellow classmate voting makes a student notable, and shouldn't override basic Wikiquote policy. Nor should any amount of flowery prose, arrogant enough to discuss a mere college student on the same level as world-famous, time-honored philosophers, replace the basic requirement for notability. Many college students think they're the next Socrates or Einstein; we only cite quotations from people who prove their notability. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm new here - are we supposed to try to defend our existence as autonomous human beings? Or is the accusation of ""sockpuppet"" sort of to be taken as one possibility which cannot, once raised, be discounted? Mgasner 02:22, 23 October 2005 (UTC) I mean, why not just ask us who we are? Why go on Google adventures? Who's on trial? Mgasner 03:40, 23 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] These are good questions. Normally, one need not identify oneself, as we value privacy. However, when people refuse to abide by Wikiquote policies, it is not unusual for others to try to ferret out reasons why they seem determined to flout them. (This is different from arguing changes on appropriate policy talk pages, which then are available for the community to review and debate.) Wikiquote accepts personal quotes (and quotes from friends, family, and other non-notables that a user finds quotable) on user pages, but maintains a need for notability for main namespace articles. As for sockpuppets, they are sufficiently damaging to the community consensus process that we make some effort to identify possible ones through editing pattterns. MosheZadka listed why he suspected this as a possibility , and my further research suggested this may not be the situation. Neither case is proven. But regardless, policy requires notability, and students are considered unnotable unless significant evidence exists to show otherwise. (I won't even try to count the number of high school and college students who have assumed they deserved quote articles alongside Shakespeare et al. just because they are able to create the page.) The Tarmy article and its two supporters' arguments so far effectively make the case that we won't find such evidence. This does not make Tarmy uninteresting or unquotable, just not eligible for a Wikiquote article. Other quote sites have different inclusion and exclusion guidelines; we ask that editors respect ours. I suggest Mdmalinowski and Mgasner copy whatever Tarmy quotes they like to their own user pages. As far as asking who people are, I think we don't usually bother because in most cases, we don't expect straightforward answers from people who are deliberately trying to violate policy. But we may have been too hasty here. Users are welcome to say as much or as little about themselves as they want to on their user pages. As this point, Mdmalinowski has no user page, Mgasner has a brief statement without identifying information, and neither has confirmed or denied any of the above research. I hate to sound so repetitious, but even if these users were Steven Spielberg and J.D. Salinger and made passionate arguments above the worthiness of Tarmy, what matters is verifiable sources for notability, not personal acclamation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:55, 23 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] It's worth pointing out that the criteria we have cited in favor of Tarmy's notability specifically exclude the possibility of there being verifiable sources of the kind you require. It is a point of philosophical significance that certain thinkers refuse to publish. I suppose however that ""policy"" must prevail (it certainly will once a decent period has elapsed, as you have fiat power and we do not) and look forward to everyone's return to the important work of amassing tidbits from Zorro and Gilligan's Island so that they ""will exist forever as a summary of the collective insights of society, communal knowledge passed on from one generation to the next."" Mgasner 05:30, 23 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] I am pretty much sick of this discussion, and won't return to it again. I will note, however, that as you have pointed out, ""disciples"" often collect wisdom of philosophers and publish it. If you and your friends decide to collect Tarmy's wisdom, such as it is, and publish it via a non-vanity press, I'm certain that everyone here will be more than happy to have a page with quotations from that book. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 05:34, 23 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikiquote sysops have no ""fiat"" power; we must follow the policies that the community has developed, and we must use the same mechanisms any other editor is obliged to use if we wish to change rules. Neither MosheZadka nor I created Wikiquote, nor did we develop these notability requirements. (Check out the Wikipedia article on Wikiquote if you're interested; it specifically mentions ""prominent"" quotees, and James Tarmy is prominent only in the minds of a rabid few.) I have addressed why Wikiquote does not accept unpublished quotees; Mgasner refuses to accept this policy or attempt to change it by bringing it up in the Village pump or other appropriate venue. Mgasner is implicitly arguing that Tamry is more valuable than movies or TV shows. Whatever one might think of specific examples in any genre, there is no objective way to evaluate quoteworthiness; Mediawiki projects like Wikiquote have centered on sourceable published material collected by editors and reviewed by the community. By this guideline, Gilligan's Island has had enormously more cultural impact than Tamry, no doubt even at the University of Chicago. (That may very well change in years to come; if so, Tamry fans are welcome to create a new article with his works based on whatever sourceable references are used by Wikiquote at that future time.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:05, 23 October 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete no notability. Some projects set vote eligibility for VfD or VfA - like ""50 edits on Main namespace"". I assume it is the time for us to consider if we also need such a rule, avoiding fraud with sock- and meatpuppets . -- Aphaia 21:26, 5 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Of course he's not published; he's only 20 years old! I must confess I only came across this entry while browsing Mr. Tarmy's Facebook page, but after a quick look through it I can tell that he should stay on Wikiquote. Why? Because all of his quotations are quite deep for a college student, and that is a good sign. Plus, they're at once funny and interesting to read. -- sstigler 22:56, 6 November 2005 (PST) Note: This user was created 10 minutes before writing this comment, and this was his only contribution. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:05, 7 November 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

A quick review of the relevant WP articles suggest that the only truly notable quote from this game series is its title, spoken dramatically (""Riiiiidge RACER!""). Looking over the existing article, I couldn't determine which if any of the other quotes stood out, and I don't have the familiarity with the subject that would help me make this call. If the involved editors don't show any interest in justifying this article's existence by editing it down to such a subset, I'd prefer to get rid of this one and wait for someone who will do the necessary work. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:50, 4 August 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Looking at the page in detail, I don't know if it would be a copyvio as-is.

Although, as has been mentioned, a search reveals an unnotable poster to forums and the like, it appears that there is a complication. Some of the Google results come up with a mention of Boscoe Pertwee in Umberto Eco 's book Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition. One of the search results offers this quote from Eco: ""a quotation from Boscoe Pertwee, an eighteenth century author (unknown to me) which I found in Gregory (1981:558): 'I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.'"" Plainly the forum poster has derived his username from this source; but the Eco book is a nonfiction work, which would suggest that there was an earlier Boscoe Pertwee and that the quotation may count as original. The question at this point, then, is this: do we allow a page for an exceedingly obscure person (no info other than that he was eighteenth-century), or do we simply delete it and transfer the quote to some appropriate theme page, mentioning Eco's book as the source? - InvisibleSun 15:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Well, IMO, we don't want an article that can only ever have a single quote of such indirect sourcing. However, it would be excellent to provide a sourced version of this quote in an appropriate theme or work article, or possibly even the Eco article. (Could you explain the citation of ""Gregory"", InvisibleSun? I couldn't easily figure out what work this is citing.

Any objections may be raised at Help talk:Transwiki#Deleting transwikied articles . — Jeff Q (talk) 00:34, 10 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] I think this speaks, more than anything, to the fact that I (at least, possibly others) were not even aware of this previous discussion. Thank you, Jeff, for pointing to that discussion. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:44, 10 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: As I just noted at Help:Transwiki#Deleting transwikied articles , my memory is faulty. Help:Transwiki (which I wrote — duh!) already includes a speedy-deletion step for articles that have been successfully transwikied. From now own, we can just delete them (without VfD) once the transwiki process has been completed. But we need to verify completion before deleting. Sorry about the confusion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:25, 23 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] Untangling these transwikied articles is complicated. Virtually nobody is logging outgoing transwiki action as required. I have just verified and deleted every Wikisource-incoming article that was properly logged there and added logs entries for them here. Any blue links above have not been completely or properly transwikied yet, so please don't speedy-delete them. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:20, 23 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Many ppl might look for yoda on his own (especially because of his strange diction). I don't know if the same should be done for Jar Jar Binks . Or u could put 2 sample quotes and give a link to the full page of quotes. 65.7.166.232 22:18, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC) (BrokenSegue from wikipedia) As a non-fan of the Star Wars franchise, though appreciative of its effect on popular culture via my siblings who were of age to enjoy the movies when they were initially released in theaters, I suggest we let the Yoda quotes stay in the Wiki. They're certainly not doing any harm, and unless there's a copyright issue, Yoda's words are easily as important, recognizable, and relevant as any modern-day real-world philosopher's, in the context of a quote-based Wiki. I see no reason why this page should have the dreaded ""suggested for deletion"" mark on it... quite contrary to the modern evolution of knowledge. Apologies for any shortsightedness on my part... + -JIV I too think that we should let the yoda quotes page stay. I myself reached this page upon searching for 'yoda quotes' in google. - roshan I am considering simply making the Yoda page a redirect to a section on the Star Wars page, for quotes made by Yoda. Similar sections could be made for other major characters, but personally I think Jar Jar Binks lists low as a quotable character, and probably should not be given his own section, let alone a page. A little duplication of quotes, even on a page, would not be too bad, but if a character is given his own section I think that most of his quotes from any of the movies should generally go there. I wouldn't mind only Yoda being given such a section, or otherwise this page might eventually evolve into a page with sections for major characters, and quotes in the sections on the movies might be relegated to those from relatively minor characters. I do think it is more convenient for people seeking Star Wars quotations to find them all on one page, and not have them scattered over many small ones. ~ Kalki 16:39, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC) I say keep. Sure he's a fictional character but many his sayings have passed into popular culture which makes hime very quotable. ~ Alex I vote we move both to the Star Wars article, and have the current articles redesignated as redirects to Star Wars . The alternative is to break down the Star Wars pages by character and redesignate the Yoda and Jar Jar Binks pages as redirects to that specific character on Star Wars . Either will work with me, as lng as they're somewhere . -- Zarggg 01:52, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC) I say keep. Yoda has the best quotes. Yoda is a pop icon whose appearance alone can drive up an publication/productions revenue. His quotes have spawned the interest and analysis of millions, keep him! I came to this page by searching Google for ""Yoda Quotes"", since I was specifically looking for words of wisdom from the Jedi master, and not generic Star Wars quotes. I suggest that the Yoda page remain separate. Keep on both. When does this vote close? I'm new here :). Gaurav 15:38, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC) Redirect to Star Wars , but reorganize Star Wars to group by character, with a separate section on dialog, under each film. That way, it's not too difficult to find all the quotes of any significant character, the source is easily recognized, and multiple-character dialog has an unambiguous place to go. (I can even add a custom TOC to make it easier to jump to character/dialog/show if there's interest.) — Jeff Q (talk) 17:15, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC) Redirect until Star Wars becomes too large. I notice that Yoda is already redirected. Rmhermen 16:08, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC) The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it.

Based on the writing and spelling, I wouldn't be surprised if the name itself is misspelled, making it impossible for anyone but the article creator to identify this person. If she is an author of a ""500-paged book"", surely this anonymous editor can provide the title and maybe even the ISBN? I'm not going to hold my breath, though. There are far too many quotes in this article that are more vanity than profundity. It might even be a hoax article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I think that you are way too cruel. The author is just 17, and people deserve chances. The name of the book -which has been added- is called ""Good wombs have born bad sons"" and it has been published in Greece alone, so it is natural not to know it. And why would someone spend so much time to write about a person that doesn't even exist? And you gotta admit that some of the quotes are pretty good. ~ David Raymond 22:38, 30 March, 2006 (UTC) The above text was added by 213.170.204.59 rather than the currently non-existent username ""David Raymond"" as originally claimed. This may have just been a misunderstanding about user registration and usernames. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The purpose of Wikiquote is not to promote new authors with no significant audience yet. It is to collect quotations from established, notable people and creative works. The only hits I find for the phrase ""Good wombs have born bad sons"" are the expected quotes from and citations of William Shakespeare 's The Tempest and from Columbine shooter Eric Harris 's academic planner, presumably quoting Shakespeare. We have found no one named ""Helen Vrousia"" thus far, and the information that she is a 17-year-old Greek neither helps us verify any supposed work, nor suggests she is likely to be considered notable by WikiMedia project standards. This is not a personal issue; it's just not the quote material that Wikiquote collects. You might try establishing an article for Ms. Vrousia at Greek Wikiquote , as she may be more notable in Greece. As for why someone would write about a person who doesn't exist, it's the same reason people write viruses and deface websites — it amuses them. We get hoax articles like all the time at Wikiquote. The only way we can ensure that we have accurate quotes from real people is to source and verify them, which is why we've asked for such information. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

We definitely don't want this page, even in Wikiquote: space. If someone knows the MediaWiki system, they know ""PROJECT:Reference desk"" is the place to ask questions. If they don't, ""chalkboard"" is not intuitive (though understandable in hindsight ). I just noticed that we were missing some logical links to WQ:RD, so I've added one to the Main Page (why was this absent?!), one to Wikiquote:Welcome, newcomers , and clarified the entertainingly whimsical but rather abstruse advice with the link at the top of Village pump . ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:57, 9 April 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I found out how this came into being. Wikiquote talk:Misquotes for comic effect (formerly Talk:Misquotes for comic effect ) had a discussion that included Kalki's quote about Pope saying ""ignorance is bliss"". It also mentioned some suggested titles for an article collecting misquotations, including one with a red link — ""Quotation Chalkboard"". Obviously the anon must have clicked on this to post their question about Kalki's statement. (Bear in mind that this conversation took place when Wikiquote was only about 6 months old and had far less than 1000 articles. There was a lot of informality among the extremely small community back then, as they were still ""inventing"" WQ.) This is an interesting case study in how old discussions can come back to haunt us years later. That's why it's a good idea to write not only to respond to individuals currently engaged in a discussion, but also to inform people who will come across the discussions months or years later. ) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:17, 9 April 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete , concur with the above. ~ UDScott 11:31, 9 April 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

(I don't agree with the current suffix, as it seems to violate the WP MoS principle of avoiding honorifics and positions in article titles unless needed for disambiguation, but WP is currently ignoring it for Tenzin Gyatso, so I won't raise a fuss right now.) Unless and until we have quotes from another incarnation of the Dalai Lama, we don't really need ""Dalai Lama"" to be a disambiguation article. — Jeff Q (talk) 22:37, 9 July 2005 (UTC) [ reply ] As for Dalai Lama, concur Jeff.

The sources for the 2 current quotes are from discussion boards, which are not wiki- reliable sources . ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Don't Delete The wikipedia reliabiltity article states that websites can be used as primary sources if the person in question is the creater of the webpage. Ruzkin is a moderator of all on pkaus, and so can be called an author of the webpage. Secondly, he is a notable figure in both the Australian Parkour Scene and Australian Tricking scene, although it is unlikly you would have heard of him if you were not involved in either of these groups. — Yacob Two points to consider about Yacob's statement: The "" Personal websites as primary sources "" section does allow for personal websites to supply supplemental information, but makes clear that they are not treated as reliable sources, nor do they automatically convey notability. Wikipedia only uses them to provide likely POV material to articles which must be verified elsewhere. Anyone can create a website, but only indepedent sources can demonstrate notability. On the other hand, since Wikiquote wants a person's own words, personal websites of an independently-confirmed notable person could be used as a source for quotes themselves. Providing other parkour and tricking sources that indicate the notability of Ruskin might very well resolve my objection. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:51, 13 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] I have moved the quotes to the atttributed section, so they are no longer sourced by him but are attributed to him. I do not agree with this however, forums should be a genuine source of information, as they were posted the person in question, so they are their words in electronic format. The internet is a growing force which wikipedia itself obviously is a huge part of and as more and more information is compiled directly into computers and online, which according to this policy is not a reputable source. Just because a book says something dosn't mean its true either, so why should books be given much more reliability over internet forums? This is intended as a question and not as a flame, so please take it as such. As per your second comment, although it is unlikly that Ruzkin is known as well outside Australia as he is here, although I do belive he mods www.nztraceur.com boards, and is therefore notable in New Zealand as well. — Yacob Well, I have been trying to edit my previous comment and it keeps changing, so ill just put a new one here. In addition to moderating pkaus he moderates Urban Freeflow (the worlds largest parkour site) forums as well. Therefore he is notable outside Australia. I do belive this removes any arguments you had against his notability, and I would ask that you research more deeply next time, there are a lot of people in the world scattered throughout a lot of groups/organisations and you cannot possibly know them all. Parkour has been an underground movement for a long time, so it has still yet to come into the public eye, which is why you would not have of many names either. David Belle? Sebastian Foucan? Cyril Raffaelli? It is not likely you have heard of these names either, but in the Parkour world they're bigger than Jesus :). And before with the message you sent me LrdChaos, sorry yeah it was me but I wasn't logged in. Finally, since I have moved the quotes and provided solid evidence for Ruzkins notability, is this vote now cancelled? I have not recieved any reply's over this weekend, so I am unsure to what happens now. — Yacob Yacob, could you please read the information at the top of this page, which says (in bold) what you should read before contributing to this page? If you did, you would find, among other useful information, that VfD entries must remain here for a minimum of 2 weeks unless their subjects can be speedy-deleted, which is clearly not what you want. Please also note that everyone editing here is a volunteer with no set schedule, even the sysops, so yuu cannot expect people to respond immediately to requests. In fact, if you look around at the rest of this page, you'll find that we've been extremely busy with a spate of vanity articles from people who seem to have far more time to complain and vandalize than the regular editors have to respond and repair. Please be patient. As for your ""evidence"", you have provided no specific, verifiable information yet. You have given the Wikiquote community hints about where to find the information, but you have not provided any new weblinks, print publication titles, audiovisual citations, or anything actually considered a reliable source by Wikimedia Foundation standards. If you want to convince others of your statements, give them verifiable sources and links to check. If you just make claims and require others to do the legwork, you may not succeed. (If you review other entries, you will find examples of how editors provide citations and links that support their statements. Hint: the current entries for ""You're either with us, or against us"", ""George Fernandez"", ""Love Inc."" (ignoring my ""W.C."" joke), ""Joshua Alexander Scruggs"", and ""Micahel Stuart (statistician)"" include some common kinds of specific evidence for successful arguments. ) The more specific and more readily verifiable the information, the more likely you will be able to change people's minds. You have time to make your case, as this entry will remain here at least until 26 May. Since I have just spent all of my own VfD-allocated time for now explaining this to you, I must defer the source checking I was going to do on your information until much later. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] Okay, evidence. It is hard to show evidence of somebodies online status from an offline source, so here is the online evidence for his status. Pkaus: On this link, the rank of pkaus.com team means he is a moderator: http://www.pkaus.com/forum/profile.php? mode=viewprofile&u=6 . I am sorry but I am unable to supply the links to his Urban Freeflow moderator status from these boards http://pub77.ezboard.com/burbanfreeflow , as ezboards are blocked over the proxy server which I am operating from. If however, once in these ezboard you go to the memberlist you will be able to find his name with a rank of 'moderator' or something similar. As for the quotes, since they come from unreliable sources or word of mouth, they have been moved to the Attributed section which I think will negate any comments about their authenticity. — Yacob Yacob, I have already said that while discussion boards may be a reasonable source of quotes (not everyone would agree), they are definitely not reliable sources for notability evidence. However, in my very first attempt to find out who this person is, I Googled for ""Chris Hayes-Kossman"" (Ruzkin's real name), was redirected to ""Chris Hayes-Kossmann"" (note the extra ""n""), and found that the first reference was for a transcription of an ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) ""Stateline Canberra"" interview with Hayes-Kossmann and Aaron Pakula on parkour. That is what we call a reliable source. Unfortunately, none of the other 4 Google hits was reliable, nor were most even relevant (although they all seemed to be about ""Ruzkin""). On the other hand, the apparent misspelling yielded a single hit for deviantART.com, which may be worrisome to regular readers of VfD, as we had considerable negative experience from another deviantART denizen, Walter Muncaster (aka User:0waldo ), who also had difficulty providing verifiable notability info on his subject (himself). ""Ruzkin"" yields even more deviantART-related material. This may be utter coincidence, but it is not confidence-building. I would focus on getting exact information about Hayes-Kossmann's TV and radio appearances, and try to find some parkour/traceur-related print sources. Surely someone on the discussion boards could suggest some? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] This is the link to the ABC Stateline (An Australian 'current affairs' show). This has ruzkin in it, although it is a 75MB download. http://www.pkaus.com/Media/Articles/Stateline-ACTPK-29Apr2006.avi . The radio-interview you linked to is this Ruzkin, although an audio copy for download is not available, searching here http://www.pkaus.com/ will show that under the 'Parkour Media Blitz' news segment it says Quote: ""Recent radio inteview featuring ruzkin: to be sourced"", so an audio copy is not available. I am currently looking for recent newspaper articles featuring the Canberra parkour scene, although to my knowledge there has been no print media published on the Canberra parkour scene, only on the other major cities of Australia. Also, it is very likly that the deviantART Ruzkin is the same as the pkaus Ruzkin, firstly due to the 'favorite things' on both websites are identical, that the locations are both in Australia and that their is a 'Kraden' in both pkaus and deviantART. Kraden is one of Ruzkins followers in the canberra parkour scene; and is called Kraden on pkaus as well, with his location listed as Canberra. Finally, both pkaus users link to the repective deviantART pages in this thread. http://www.pkaus.com/forum/viewtopic.php? t=535 . Ruzkin also says he is the deviantART Ruzkin, as is Ruzkin.com. I am still trying to track down the radio inteview too. The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it.
