[edit] Instantnood

I would like to put it on the record, that User:Instantnood has reverted [1] this article, with no valid explaination and no entry in this discussion page. This was done despite clear instructions against such disruptive behavior as per the relevant Arbcom cases.--Huaiwei 20:57, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam Magnet

The article in its current form appears to be a magnet for spam. Given that it simply categorizes think tanks and consultancies by country, I propose either (1) deleting this and identifying organizations via the appropriate category; or (2) deleting all red links and requiring new additions to have WP articles before they are added to this list. Does anyone object if I implement one or the other solution? - Aagtbdfoua 02:03, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move

Given there were no objections to either of the above proposals, I took an intermediate solution. I moved this page here from List of economics consultancies and think tanks and removed all economics consultancies. If someone really feels we should have a list of them, recreate it at List of economics consultancies. I marked all of the economics consultancy articles with [[Category:Economics_consulting_firms]] - Aagtbdfoua 19:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Completed the move by either replacing List of economics consultancies and think tanks with List of think tanks or deleting as appropriate for all articles in the mainspace. - Aagtbdfoua 02:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inclusion criteria

Until we can come up with some other criteria for inclusion in this list, the criteria should be only think tanks that already have their own Wikipedia articles. --Ronz (talk) 17:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
