"Unencyclopedic" is an empty argument. It means "not worthy of being included in an encyclopedia", which is synonymous with "should not be included" or " I want it deleted". So when you use it as a justification for deleting something, it's a circular argument: "Delete, because it should be deleted". This is just repeating yourself. What we want to know are your reasons why the article shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Simply answer the question, What guidelines does it violate, and how?
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

HI, I tried to fix the redlinks in the Outline of Northern Cyprus and couldn't tell why there were so many that didn't make sense, until I (belatedly) thought of reading the talk page, where I saw your post about outlines and redlinks, and immediately blushed and made this face. I undid my edit to the military section, but I don't know what I can write or do to make the links that are there make sense. For example, I had already made redirects for all of the non-existent military branches, but they all link to Military of Northern Cyprus, and this doesn't seem like much help to the reader. The same goes for the redlinks for the ecoregions list and article; I wanted to make those into hidden text until the articles are created, but I guess the time for that change wouldn't be readily apparent or in line with the outline policy. I also added data from the country's infobox to the geography section, and later found out that Template: Outline country doesn't have any spaces for that data, so I left it. Before I butcher the article or my edits anymore, I hope you can give me some help. SaaHc2B ( talk) 05:02, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
After noticing your interest in outlines and happening across Wikipedia's "books" project, I thought I'd drop you a note and suggest looking at the organization of Book:Abrahamic_religions and... well... that looks quite similar to your project, so perhaps the two projects could assist each other? The "Books" project has some well-organized topics ( Book:Abrahamic religions is one), and some poorly-developed ones ( Book:Science for example). Perhaps a thought that allies can be everywhere. The converse is true also, of course. Still, the books project offers some already-half-developed outline structures that might be usable for something in the outlines project. ;-> — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.212.79.93 ( talk) 17:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC) They speedy deleted my Outline of Baha'i Faith - the content of it can be seen at [9].

The Technocracy Movement, The Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project all advocate for applying semi- or fully automatic systems to provide for all human needs - for example in food growth and production which will take care that no one would go hungry, in automatic construction, transportation, healthcare, etc ... In the view of these 3 movements, automated labor should be perfected and implemented on a mass scale globally, eliminating all mundane jobs that insult human capacity when they can instead be relegated to machines that will act more precisely and productively, freeing humans to do more creative work (and/or less work).

For those who watchlist or visit this page... There are 2 new outlines about energy that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it. The new energy outlines are: Please take a look at them, and....
For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines. Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called " reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring. Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same... As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking {{ Main}} links, etc. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

The ChampionMan 1234 07:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC) These articles are sprouting like mushrooms, and I fear that they are like the famous definition of politics as being like mushrooms - "we keep you in the dark and feed you on shit". There is no particular reason why articles on the same thing should not be merged and have NPOV descriptions. In the case of these two articles, the Government of Kosovo, whether regarded as being merely de facto or de jure is normally described as precisely that. The quarterly reports by the UN Secretary-General to the UN Security Council refer to it as the Government, while being status-neutral. So too do both the Wikipedia articles "Kosovo", which I regard as broadly pro-Serb, and "the Republic of Kosovo", which is supposed to broadly reflect those who accept Kosovo as an independent entity. There is no legal entity in the Republic of Kosovo described as the "Cabinet of the Republic"; while in the UK "the Cabinet" means the principal Government Ministers, in Kosovo and Serbia, as in most of Europe, a "Cabinet" means the advisors, hangers-on, photocopyists, and parasites of the Ministers. Perhaps new articles on Kosovo should require permission and consensus - a sort of semi-protected state - to avoid people circumventing the existing semi-protected articles?

Hi, I know I haven't done much on outlines lately. I am retired from editing now, which doesn't mean I will be gone from Wikipedia alltogether. It just means that Wikipedia has dropped significantly on my priority list. I want to thank you for your kind invitation to the Outlines WikiProject. I hope to get around to provide some more annotations to outlines. Previously there was unfortunately too much other stuff I was doing here at Wikipedia. However, I have stopped pretty much anything that is drama ripe, such as NFCC enforcement. That might also mean that I can do a bit of stuff regarding outlines now. It might not be much I will do by myself, but if there is a specific outline you want help with, do not hesitate to drop me a message on my talkpage. Also I plan to proceed with annotating some outlines. Again, if there is a specific one you want me to provide a helping hand with annotating, please let me know. I know that it sounds a bit ridiculous, but I guess the chances I do something are higher if I receive specific requests, so please feel free to give me a slight "kick in the butt" to get me started on a specific task. I hope you can make a bit of sense of all this. Thanks again for your invitation to the project and the detailed task description on my talkpage.

A tag has been placed on History of encyclopedias requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Transhumanist! Thanks for the suggestion to look at "The Outline of Chess". Overall it looks very good indeed and very interesting. I do think the openings section is a little unbalanced and the definition of 'double attack' isn't quite right. I might try to add a few bits here and there sometime but I must confess that although I'm an ok player (about 2100 elo) most of my non-playing knowledge is related to (relatively) old chess software, which, I grant you, is a rather overly-specialist area! :) Chessbloke ( talk) 08:55, 3 January 2013 (UTC) As

This is a proposal to place the words The Signpost on the main menu, in the "Interaction" section right under "Community portal". The words would be linked to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost, Wikipedia's newsletter and community news department. As a publication title, it would be italicized. Rationale: The Community Bulletin Board (CBB) used to be the central place for posting announcements. It was located near the top of the Community Portal, but when that page was redesigned, the CBB was removed and its functions were transferred to the Signpost's WikiProject News sidebar. The main link to the Signpost used to be in the CBB, near the top of the Community Portal. But now it is near the bottom of that page. Even though the Signpost is the community's central communication instrument, it's main page gets only about 10,000 visits per month. By comparison, the Community Portal gets around 300,000 visits per month. Placing a link to the Signpost on the main menu would make it accessible from every page of Wikipedia. This would give everyone easy access to the Signpost, while increasing the community's awareness of it. This would in turn increase awareness of current events and participation in them. Since the Signpost is the WP community's main communication instrument, it would really help to centralize it by including it on the main menu. The Transhumanist 18:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC) Support

Where is the discussion area about bot technology? I'm interested in learning what bots are and are not capable of. For example, when articles are split and a summary is left in the original article, both the new article and the old section that it used to be receive development from editors after the split, creating a fork situation. New material is added by some editors to the new article, but new material also gets added to the original section in the old article. Not the same material. There are tens of thousands of instances of the summary style being used, and a great many of them have resulted in forked content, with new content being added to the summary and not to the main article. Could a bot be created that could sync up article sections with the corresponding {{ Main}} articles? That is, identify — in the section — material that is not included in the main article, and copy or move that material to the main article? Is natural language processing sufficiently sophisticated to handle this? What tools are available (anywhere in the computing world) that would be useful for this? The Transhumanist 02:33, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
To what extent can bot technology be used for subject consolidation? For example, is this doable: gather all the mentions of a particular individual from everywhere on Wikipedia and dump it all in a project page for evaluation by human editors? Or identify and gather everything about the subject "natural language processing" regardless of what articles it appears in? Sometimes, details of a subject are added to a less relevant article. For example, details about an organization in the biographical article on its founder. Those details may be more relevant to the organization article. How can bots help find and gather material on Wikipedia about a subject that is somewhere other than the article on that subject? The Transhumanist 02:33, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
This would probably be considered a form of multi-document summarization. Sometimes editors skip a subject and directly edit the article on a subtopic. There are many instances of subjects that are missing a subheading for a subtopic that has an article on Wikipedia. Is it theoretically possible to write a bot that could analyze an article, and Wikipedia with respect to that article's subject, to identify missing subtopics that have their own articles? It should be an easy matter to check for matching article titles once the subtopics have been determined. To build a section, all you'd have to do is copy the the lead (or lead paragraph) of the subtopic article. But how would the bot determine the names of the subtopics that are missing from a subject's article? The Transhumanist 07:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC) Easier than the above described bot would be one that looked for subheadings the total content of each were a {{ Main}} template. That is, the section has a "Main article" hatnote, but is otherwise empty. It's missing a summary style summary. The bot would simply insert into the empty section a copy of the lead paragraph from the article specified in the Main template. What problems am I overlooking here? The Transhumanist 07:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC) P.S.: How would a bot go about finding such sections? -TT

"Unencyclopedic" is an empty argument. It means "not worthy of being included in an encyclopedia", which is synonymous with "should not be included" or " I want it deleted". So when you use it as a justification for deleting something, it's a circular argument: "Delete, because it should be deleted". This is just repeating yourself. What we want to know are your reasons why the article shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Simply answer the question, What guidelines does it violate, and how?
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

HI, I tried to fix the redlinks in the Outline of Northern Cyprus and couldn't tell why there were so many that didn't make sense, until I (belatedly) thought of reading the talk page, where I saw your post about outlines and redlinks, and immediately blushed and made this face. I undid my edit to the military section, but I don't know what I can write or do to make the links that are there make sense. For example, I had already made redirects for all of the non-existent military branches, but they all link to Military of Northern Cyprus, and this doesn't seem like much help to the reader. The same goes for the redlinks for the ecoregions list and article; I wanted to make those into hidden text until the articles are created, but I guess the time for that change wouldn't be readily apparent or in line with the outline policy. I also added data from the country's infobox to the geography section, and later found out that Template: Outline country doesn't have any spaces for that data, so I left it. Before I butcher the article or my edits anymore, I hope you can give me some help. SaaHc2B ( talk) 05:02, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
After noticing your interest in outlines and happening across Wikipedia's "books" project, I thought I'd drop you a note and suggest looking at the organization of Book:Abrahamic_religions and... well... that looks quite similar to your project, so perhaps the two projects could assist each other? The "Books" project has some well-organized topics ( Book:Abrahamic religions is one), and some poorly-developed ones ( Book:Science for example). Perhaps a thought that allies can be everywhere. The converse is true also, of course. Still, the books project offers some already-half-developed outline structures that might be usable for something in the outlines project. ;-> — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.212.79.93 ( talk) 17:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC) They speedy deleted my Outline of Baha'i Faith - the content of it can be seen at [9].

The Technocracy Movement, The Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project all advocate for applying semi- or fully automatic systems to provide for all human needs - for example in food growth and production which will take care that no one would go hungry, in automatic construction, transportation, healthcare, etc ... In the view of these 3 movements, automated labor should be perfected and implemented on a mass scale globally, eliminating all mundane jobs that insult human capacity when they can instead be relegated to machines that will act more precisely and productively, freeing humans to do more creative work (and/or less work).

For those who watchlist or visit this page... There are 2 new outlines about energy that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it. The new energy outlines are: Please take a look at them, and....
For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines. Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called " reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring. Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same... As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking {{ Main}} links, etc. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

The ChampionMan 1234 07:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC) These articles are sprouting like mushrooms, and I fear that they are like the famous definition of politics as being like mushrooms - "we keep you in the dark and feed you on shit". There is no particular reason why articles on the same thing should not be merged and have NPOV descriptions. In the case of these two articles, the Government of Kosovo, whether regarded as being merely de facto or de jure is normally described as precisely that. The quarterly reports by the UN Secretary-General to the UN Security Council refer to it as the Government, while being status-neutral. So too do both the Wikipedia articles "Kosovo", which I regard as broadly pro-Serb, and "the Republic of Kosovo", which is supposed to broadly reflect those who accept Kosovo as an independent entity. There is no legal entity in the Republic of Kosovo described as the "Cabinet of the Republic"; while in the UK "the Cabinet" means the principal Government Ministers, in Kosovo and Serbia, as in most of Europe, a "Cabinet" means the advisors, hangers-on, photocopyists, and parasites of the Ministers. Perhaps new articles on Kosovo should require permission and consensus - a sort of semi-protected state - to avoid people circumventing the existing semi-protected articles?

Hi, I know I haven't done much on outlines lately. I am retired from editing now, which doesn't mean I will be gone from Wikipedia alltogether. It just means that Wikipedia has dropped significantly on my priority list. I want to thank you for your kind invitation to the Outlines WikiProject. I hope to get around to provide some more annotations to outlines. Previously there was unfortunately too much other stuff I was doing here at Wikipedia. However, I have stopped pretty much anything that is drama ripe, such as NFCC enforcement. That might also mean that I can do a bit of stuff regarding outlines now. It might not be much I will do by myself, but if there is a specific outline you want help with, do not hesitate to drop me a message on my talkpage. Also I plan to proceed with annotating some outlines. Again, if there is a specific one you want me to provide a helping hand with annotating, please let me know. I know that it sounds a bit ridiculous, but I guess the chances I do something are higher if I receive specific requests, so please feel free to give me a slight "kick in the butt" to get me started on a specific task. I hope you can make a bit of sense of all this. Thanks again for your invitation to the project and the detailed task description on my talkpage.

A tag has been placed on History of encyclopedias requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Transhumanist! Thanks for the suggestion to look at "The Outline of Chess". Overall it looks very good indeed and very interesting. I do think the openings section is a little unbalanced and the definition of 'double attack' isn't quite right. I might try to add a few bits here and there sometime but I must confess that although I'm an ok player (about 2100 elo) most of my non-playing knowledge is related to (relatively) old chess software, which, I grant you, is a rather overly-specialist area! :) Chessbloke ( talk) 08:55, 3 January 2013 (UTC) As

This is a proposal to place the words The Signpost on the main menu, in the "Interaction" section right under "Community portal". The words would be linked to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost, Wikipedia's newsletter and community news department. As a publication title, it would be italicized. Rationale: The Community Bulletin Board (CBB) used to be the central place for posting announcements. It was located near the top of the Community Portal, but when that page was redesigned, the CBB was removed and its functions were transferred to the Signpost's WikiProject News sidebar. The main link to the Signpost used to be in the CBB, near the top of the Community Portal. But now it is near the bottom of that page. Even though the Signpost is the community's central communication instrument, it's main page gets only about 10,000 visits per month. By comparison, the Community Portal gets around 300,000 visits per month. Placing a link to the Signpost on the main menu would make it accessible from every page of Wikipedia. This would give everyone easy access to the Signpost, while increasing the community's awareness of it. This would in turn increase awareness of current events and participation in them. Since the Signpost is the WP community's main communication instrument, it would really help to centralize it by including it on the main menu. The Transhumanist 18:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC) Support

Where is the discussion area about bot technology? I'm interested in learning what bots are and are not capable of. For example, when articles are split and a summary is left in the original article, both the new article and the old section that it used to be receive development from editors after the split, creating a fork situation. New material is added by some editors to the new article, but new material also gets added to the original section in the old article. Not the same material. There are tens of thousands of instances of the summary style being used, and a great many of them have resulted in forked content, with new content being added to the summary and not to the main article. Could a bot be created that could sync up article sections with the corresponding {{ Main}} articles? That is, identify — in the section — material that is not included in the main article, and copy or move that material to the main article? Is natural language processing sufficiently sophisticated to handle this? What tools are available (anywhere in the computing world) that would be useful for this? The Transhumanist 02:33, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
To what extent can bot technology be used for subject consolidation? For example, is this doable: gather all the mentions of a particular individual from everywhere on Wikipedia and dump it all in a project page for evaluation by human editors? Or identify and gather everything about the subject "natural language processing" regardless of what articles it appears in? Sometimes, details of a subject are added to a less relevant article. For example, details about an organization in the biographical article on its founder. Those details may be more relevant to the organization article. How can bots help find and gather material on Wikipedia about a subject that is somewhere other than the article on that subject? The Transhumanist 02:33, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
This would probably be considered a form of multi-document summarization. Sometimes editors skip a subject and directly edit the article on a subtopic. There are many instances of subjects that are missing a subheading for a subtopic that has an article on Wikipedia. Is it theoretically possible to write a bot that could analyze an article, and Wikipedia with respect to that article's subject, to identify missing subtopics that have their own articles? It should be an easy matter to check for matching article titles once the subtopics have been determined. To build a section, all you'd have to do is copy the the lead (or lead paragraph) of the subtopic article. But how would the bot determine the names of the subtopics that are missing from a subject's article? The Transhumanist 07:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC) Easier than the above described bot would be one that looked for subheadings the total content of each were a {{ Main}} template. That is, the section has a "Main article" hatnote, but is otherwise empty. It's missing a summary style summary. The bot would simply insert into the empty section a copy of the lead paragraph from the article specified in the Main template. What problems am I overlooking here? The Transhumanist 07:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC) P.S.: How would a bot go about finding such sections? -TT

Thanks for your support on my talk page. I didn't mean to appear ungrateful, it's simply that the situation is so ludicrous. I just now discovered the blocking admin has no idea why he blocked me. I have to laugh.

Farmbrough,
08:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC). I converted the templates in to a normal list (links in templates are small and hard to see for many). But is this to much info? should it be trimmed? Moxy ( talk) 21:13, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
