[edit] Thom S. Rainer
Thanks for editing the Thom S. Rainer entry in December. Sorry it took me so long to check it out. I noticed the banner that warns the entry reads too much like a resume. I edited this on March 18, shortening it and trying to make it read more encyclopedic. Please let me know if I need to do any further work. I noticed today the "resume" banner is still up. Assuming the article had been fixed, can you tell me how to get the banner to come down? Thanks for your help.

- There is nothing special about the person that removes that banner, you could do so if you feel the problem has been 'fixed'. I mearly put it there to draw attention to the problem that I felt existed at the time. By turning 'points' into 'prose' that problem has seemingly been corrected. From the sound of it, I guese you might be new(ish) to Wikipedia? You will find that (generally) we are a rather informal bunch, I myself would leave the book listing as a seperate section with the ISBN numbers, but thats just me. I would also suggest putting in some sort of inline citations to back up what the Article is saying about Thom. If you wish to use a helpful cheat tool to make the 'code', one is located here. Feel free to ask should you have any other questions. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 03:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your help. Yes, I am new to Wikipedia and still learning. It's great to have your assistance. Robphillips7 (talk) 14:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ealing Broadway
I think you've missed something over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ealing Broadway Platform 9 - nobody is saying that the railway station isn't notable, it is. It has an article at Ealing Broadway station. The article at AFD (Ealing Broadway Platform 9) is purely for a single platform (out of the nine at the station). Thanks/wangi (talk) 21:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- I understand, but the arguments being used as reasons to !Vote delete, are faulty. IF a geographic location has can satisfy WP:V, why must it go? Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 21:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- I guess I was confused - the examples you gave were train stations, I guess they might have just had 1 or 2 platforms, but it was a discrete station never the less. In this case the individual platform isn't notable itself, there is perhaps a single sentence that can be said about it (re old style signs) but this is covered in the article about the station. Everything else comes under the spirit of WP:NOT along with many other policy and guidelines - this isn't a timetable, this isn't a reference for train buffs -- it's an encyclopaedia. What can be said about platform 9 at Ealing Broadway that cannot be covered at Ealing Broadway station? You can verify an amazing number of things - doesn't mean they are encyclopaedic. (seeing as this has expanded, I'll move the discussion back to the AFD - please reply there) Thanks/wangi (talk) 22:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Just Responding
Hey, this is Amanda from the article Forensic Entomology: Stages of Decomposition. I was just wondering if you had any suggestions for where we should place our article, other than merging into the general decomposition page. We see this page moving in a direction that is more forensically geared, using decomposition factors as evidence in cases. Do you think purposing a merge into Forensic Entomology with our own section on Entomological evidence would be wise? Or, there is a page called Entomological Evidence Collecting. Another idea from someone else was to rename the page Forensic Entomological Decomposition. But, I can't see this title being that big of an improvement. Please let me know what you think. I do value your opinion. --Amandamartinez06 (talk) 09:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ealing Broadway
I quoted from your remark on the AfD - "Well your wrong about "Individual railway platforms are never notable..., see Howard (CTA) and if that isnt small enough, how about Loyola (CTA)". The two you mention are actual stations. Even if this isn't what you meant, the fact that something is verifiable is not enough to Keep if notability is not proven. Black Kite 06:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- 2 points in that reguard counter you thoughts. All the Hungarian towns I spoke about, none has any notion of WP:N .. and ... whats the difference between the notability-ness of "a 1 platform station" and "1 platform in a station" ... none. Your obviously misguided close shows you are not open to a change in consensus. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 04:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] List_of_top_100_web_sites_in_the_United_Kingdom
This list is compiled every quarter based on the previous three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of users as well as page views. Please note that the rankings may be controversial but not the distribution stats for each domain. Updates are not hourly. The next list is likely to be updated on 1st July 2008. The list is now sortable with additional data from Compete.com. So, it is no longer a wholesale reproduction of Alexa ranks only.Anwar (talk) 19:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] General list of Masonic Lodges AFD
Just wanted to point out that although you say the article tries to keep out clandestine lodges, the article in fact says in the opener, "This is a general list of masonic Grand Lodges across the World, descending from the United Grand Lodge of England or not, "regular" or not." (my emphasis). So you might want to reconsider your vote if that is your basis for voting as such.
I also get the impression you think there is a standard list that all Lodges use, and this is not the case. For example, all fifty states in the US each have their own books, and they are not all the same - for a jurisdiction "A", it will recognize another jurisdiction "B". However, "B" may also recognize "C", "D" and "E" which A does not, and it's precisely that sort of reference usage I want to avoid. So sourcing has nothing to do with solving the problem of this particular list. Did you actually happen to scroll through the French article and see how big it is? It has 50 subsections (one of which is the US, so there's 50 entries in that one section) entries and isn't anywhere close to complete. MSJapan (talk) 14:51, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Frenchtown Square Mall
Yes, a lawsuit was filed against the mall, and yes that does carry some weight, but it was just a blip in the mall's 20 year history. Tons of malls have been the case of lawsuits before, that one doesn't make Frenchtown Square Mall notable in any way.

- Normally I would agree, but in this instance it was Case Law, meaning it set the precedent that all others must follow. A first that makes it notable. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 23:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
