Hi Martijn Hoekstra. Just a quick question for you: is the template you've used on WP:AIV supposed to display like this in the edit view? EyeSerene talk 10:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Are you sure this AfD is ripe for closure as a delete? The AfD was closed the day it was opened after having received only a few comments, two of which argued in favor of a keep. Closing an AfD early that is contested represents a procedural problem because it doesn't give the community time to weigh and discuss the arguments given on either side. The two comments in favor of a keep came from DGG and myself. Both of us are established editors with a long history on Wikipedia and in editing religion articles. The reasons you gave for the closure appears to reflect a view that Theology is nothing more than a POV fork of Mythology. This view is, at the very least, debatable. The fact that many universities have chosen to have separate Theology schools and departments from Anthropology, Folklore, and similar departments suggests that there is no consensus that these subjects are the same and reliable sources that they are different disciplines. If you want to keep the AfD closure as is, I would be wiling to nominate it for deletion review to overturn the closure and return the article to AfD. I am not certain myself that the article ultimately should be kept; in the AfD I mentioned sourcing issues. However, I believe the community should have an opportunity, and adequate time, to discuss and address them. Best, -- Shirahadasha ( talk) 20:33, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
If this explanation is however not sufficient, you are always free to bring the closure to discussion on WP:DRV. If you have any more questions about the closure, or would like to discuss it further with me first, that would be even better. Martijn Hoekstra ( talk) 21:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)A content fork is usually an unintentional creation of several separate articles all treating the same subject. A point of view (POV) fork is a content fork deliberately created to avoid neutral point of view guidelines, often to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts. Both content forks and POV forks are undesirable on Wikipedia, as they avoid consensus building and therefore violate one of our most important policies.
On Talk:Ome Henk you appealed to the copyvio vandal to talk to you. I think I've made that unlikely. See my recent blocks. You are welcome to rescind them if you have any insight/hope that he might actually cooperate. — EncMstr ( talk) 19:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading
Image:Mtvalogo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:12, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Er...? AfD was delete but you didn't delete it. Or am I confused? Whispe ring 05:16, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
