You have no idea how good a good night's sleep felt. Your contributions show that you're online at the present moment, so I have another question to ask before I ramble on. You've said that 'Wikipedia is ruined' by impermissible fiction content - can you explain to me how? This is a very weighty subject that I have seen little about, your opinion would be valuable. -- Kiz o r 17:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) I'll give it a shot... first of all, you speak of "clogging up," damaging the rest. But content on a topic isn't affected by the presence of content on other ones the way it is in a printed encyclopedia. Information is sought using search and association. Our coverage on dramaturgy doesn't affect our coverage on plumbing, which doesn't affect our coverage of law, which doesn't affect our coverage of metallurgy. Fundamental to the whole affair is that
m:Wiki is not paper: it doesn't obey the same rules as traditional works. Making the coverage of, say, a television series more detailed will only affect the coverage of that television series, and associated matters (for instance, adding information on the themes of a hardboiled detective show could help our coverage of the history of detective fiction, or the depiction of private detectives in fiction.) The rest of the encyclopedia is not harmed.
A smarter editor than me put it this way: "Someone would have to convince me that having sub-sub-sub-sub-branches on this here tree of knowledge would make the upper branches less accessible." --

In many cases, especially when you sense that the articles are in any way notable, or if they aren't but people will be very upset by deletion, usually good to start with a merger proposal, such as putting the character articles in one article, and then looking to see if they, as a whole are notable, or if they still don't meet notability. Its good to keep deletion to things you feel are hopeless and wont be better served by merger. Remember, our goal isn't deletion, its having Wikipedia filled with articles like Jack Sparrow, Master Chief (Halo), Jabba the Hutt, and many others while also clearing away the deadwood.

Regarding the The Football League 1889-90, what do the numbers signify? Could you give me an order? I have started the table, but do not know which are the points etc/GD etc. Also, a source would help clear it up as well ;) Regards. Woody ( talk) 21:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I am not ignoring you, and I am not trying to be rude. Yes, I am aware of wikipedia policy. Your point? This is a variant of WP:DTTR and I don't need that crap on my talk page.

This list wasn't like any other list gone before, those lists didn't have citations and that was the reason it was took down.
On this new list I think there were over 70 notable Geordies and everyone had was cited which is fair game, which is what wiki asks. By the way 'Eric Idle' wasn't on the list. But I'll research him.
I can understand you taking people in the list down if there was no citations. But what was up was adding to the article.-- Gregs the baker ( talk) 19:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
