Condorcet-Hare Method

I'm pretty sure you came up with the "Condorcet-Hare Method" you wrote about, which is against Wikipedia's policy on original research. Wikipedia articles are meant to explain concepts that people are looking for, not to promote new ones. I've put the page on Articles for Deletion. Writing about original research is a common newbie mistake, so don't take this too hard.

But given your interest in voting systems, there are a number of ways you could help Wikipedia. The whole collection of articles about individual voting systems is poorly organized, and some (like Plurality voting system and Instant-runoff voting) are used as battlegrounds for arguments over the merits of the methods. The Voting systems WikiProject can always use help. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 16:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Greatest possible consensus

The example you added to Approval voting is useful. I'm a bit dubious about the terminology you introduce afterward, though, particularly "greatest possible consensus". The term sounds POV to me, and I can't find it used that way on Google. Do you have a source showing that this is a term used by published Approval advocates? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 19:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Paired comparisons

I noticed your recent creation of the article "paired comparisons." I wanted to point out that there's an even easier way to reference one article from another, called redirecting. Next time you want one article space to go right to another one, simply open the article you want to redirect from, and type:

#REDIRECT [[the article you want to point to]]

And the page will go right there. If you have any questions, lemme know. Cheers, JDoorjam Talk 02:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of This is Sad....But I Laughed So Hard

A tag has been placed on This is Sad....But I Laughed So Hard requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  Chzz  ►  12:22, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of AFC curse

The article AFC curse has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not encyclopedic. No references.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Safiel (talk) 23:51, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for starting this article, however, without reliable resources, we cannot determine if the content itself is worth keeping. Please consider adding WP:Reliable Sources. Thank you,Sadads (talk) 11:17, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Arthur Gregg Sulzberger

No, it means he's the son of a rich man who isn't independently notable yet. Notability isn't transferable. Being a bureau chief isn't particularly of note, and being in that position when dad's the overall boss is even less so. Peridon (talk) 16:23, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Steven Rawlings

The article Steven Rawlings has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Sourcing suggests notability is based on his being a possible victim; WP:VICTIM discourages articles using that for sole source of notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Grinnell System, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jack Taylor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
