Article Size, etc.

edit

Please, before you do anything else, read wikipedia:article size. Please. Combining those two lists, you created nearly a 150 kilobyte page, which is closing on cumbersome even for someone with broadband. Anyway, regarding body parts slang, the AfD that resulted in its deletion was upheld at Wikipedia:Deletion review, which means the deletion was ruled to be an appropriate reflection of consensus. Finally, before you post any more copies of your letter to anyone's talk page, do check your facts, as you're incorrectly telling people that I moved one of the disputed articles. I did nothing of the sort, as checking both page histories and my contributions will demonstrate. I also have not used an anonymous sockpuppet at any point. Finally, I think you would do well to read wikipedia:vandalism before you persist in accusing me, VoiceOfAll, or anyone else of vandalism. I may well be guilty of stubbornness, or unbeneficial boldness, or you can even (for whatever reason) choose to construe my insistence on the deletion of those two lists (and you are correct in that I will not be satisfied with anything short of their complete expungement from Wikipedia) as an NPOV violation if you want - that's fine by me. But I assure you, neither of us, nor anyone else, is making a deliberate attempt to undermine the integrity of the encyclopedia; rather, we are deliberately attempting to bolster the integrity of the encyclopedia. And, given the number of people who have, either through their edits to the article or their comments on the article talk page, expressed agreement, I think it's fair to say that we are not fringe extremists on this matter.

Sorry for the typo

edit

I got the reference right in the body of the letter, but missed it in the summary. Sorry. Red Rover 00:30, 28 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Unilateral Redirect

edit

Our "friend" Voice of All has unilaterally put a redirect on List of sexual slurs to make it redirect to Sexual slang. This was done without any discussion or consensus. He then removed the edit option from the page to undo his vandalism. Can you do anything about this admin/vandal? 155.84.57.253 14:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
