Yet another essay...
[edit]This covers the same ground as WP:GARAGE, so I have merge it there. Some good points, but there was too little here to make it worthwhile keep a separate essay. Fences&Windows 02:49, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with the reverting of the merge. I like it that this essay is succinct, unlike Wikipedia:No one cares about your garage band, which has an unkinder title. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:45, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I've reverted back as two essays on the same topic is totally pointless and all the content is duplicated. We've got too many essays saying exactly the same thing, it just adds confusion. Fences&Windows 21:49, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm really not sure why F&W overrode two other editors, nor why s/he doesn't understand WP:BRD, but I've moved this all back. → ROUX ₪ 01:36, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
- Because it's a pointless essay. If you really must keep a pointless essay, fine. Knock yourself out. Fences&Windows 02:03, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
- Two other editors objected to your redirect. One reverted it, one commented here. Then you reverted again. Why? You're an admin, shouldn't you know better? Your vitriol is, likewise, not exactly a credit to the admin corps. Perhaps you would like to try again? → ROUX ₪ 02:23, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
- The two essays are on the same topic, but this one is succinct and best for pointing contributors to when their band page gets deleted. This is to me the point of the essay - a succinct explanation for the author as to why I and others !vote delete in such cases. The other essay gives more thorough coverage generally, and is useful if someone needs further explanation, or wants to read about the issue generally.
- That the two pages overlap is no surprise. Another way of looking at this is to say that the concise and verbose versions of the long-established consensus do not conflict in any way. This is a good thing. And as they don't conflict, I can't see an issue with confusion. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:21, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
One editor named Ukexpat has put the article about my (established in east-Spain, west-Netherlands and Califonia Bay Area; without big budgets!) cello blues band under a television portal. When I search for cello blues, I find nothing.
When I read who wrote the biography of the founder of wikipedia (Jimmy Wales), I learn that that page is written by his girlfriend.
The demand, that people should not write about their own band, is therefore not valid, it is a show of something just like class justice.
Information should be free. WIKIPEDIA was popular among students because of that. But it has increasingly been hijacked by university teachers, who are basically paid for by us, to do other things.
I am making a new, independent and easier to use Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Basvossen (talk • contribs) 21:58, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
