==]==

Hello,

I have recently been editing the above article. There is some question in my mind whether Misplaced Pages should have the article at all. However, as i say , I believe that if WP is to have such an article, that all sides of this controversial subject should be covered. Would you mind giving an opinion? Thank you, ] (]) 01:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

== Help with notability issue on Häagen-Dazs article? ==

Hi Glenn.

Re: ].

I appreciate any revieww, nput, insight, or help you could offer here, as an editor +/or as an admin. Is this a case where some level of article protection is called for? I thought of pointing then @ wikinews, but don't edit or use it, so don't know if it fits there. I note the article has other issues and needs. I prefer you reply here, not my talk page, to keep our discussion in one place. Thanks either way. yilfs, ] (]) 12:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

:And the article hasn't been touched in the last day. Hopefully, I clued a few editors into what WP is really about. Thanks anyway. ] (]) 23:44, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

::I spoke too soon. Your review would be appreciated. Note one of the editors has made deletions to ], The GCC/GNU diff part hould probably be reversed.

I support Lentower's request for inputs. The discussion among just the two of us is not getting anywhere. Regarding the article he started on himself, even if we reverse the GCC/diff part, I think we should definitely leave out stuff about him never owning a car because that seems to be irrelevant, unsourced and self-aggrandizing. ] (]) 12:51, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

:He may have started it, but the community reviewed and decided that he merited an article. That issue was addressed years ago in AFD #2. he first AFD was erroneously closed, as the DRV I started established.
:On the gnu diff, you misunderstood the citations in the article. The cite in the lead to his autobiography was for the cyclist/pedestrian/never a car bit. The cite for the gnu diff part was in the GNU Project section of the article and was to an authoritative primary source. Actually, that cite is still in that section of the article. The fact was in the lead without citation there, which is perfectly acceptable when it is cited in the body of the article. Without the cyclist/pedestrian bit, the sentence would need rewording if that fact remained in the lead. I don't have a strong opinion on whether it should be in the lead or only in the body; I could be satisfied either way.
:On the cyclist bit; if Len were known for being a big industry spokesperson or an environmental activist, we'd call it relevant to his notability and keep it in. For his actual notability in free software, it was a fact that humanized and made his biography more interesting, but certainly isn't a requirement to have in the article at all.
:Also, it is troublesome wikietiquette to get involved in a dispute with another editor and then go edit a biography about them. Over the years, we've seen some serious abuses by editors doing that, and other times where they found real problems that needed addressing in the biography. I believe that best practice is always to get a second opinion from a neutral party ''before'' editing the biography of an editor with whom one is in a dispute, and preferably to leave it to them to edit instead of doing it yourself.
:I know this article, so it is easy for me to reply to quickly. The Haagen-Dazs article will take longer for me to figure out what is going on... ] 23:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

:Hi MastCell. Good to see you again. You probably haven't seen me because I really haven't been here. Thank you for remembering me. I hope all is going well with you also. Merry Christmas. ] 13:03, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

This user may have left Misplaced Pages. GRBerry has not edited Misplaced Pages since May 2010. As a result, any requests made here may not receive a response. If you are seeking assistance, you may need to approach someone else.


I was also user GRBerry on Commons, Wikispecies, Meta, and (although I speak no German) de.Misplaced Pages. Messages intended for me on any of those projects might be left here, in which case I ask the poster to indicate which project they are talking about. However, I am not now active on any project. GRBerry diffmeta diff I also signed up for single user login.

This talk page is automatically archived by User:MiszaBot III. Any sections older than 31 days are automatically archived to User talk:GRBerry/Archive 11. Sections without timestamps are not archived.

At this point I became an admin. Subsequent archives are by bot in the order conversations became stale rather than the order they were created.

In Q4 2008 voluntarily resigned as an admin. I do not currently have access to the administrative tools and also am not actively editing nor do I intend to be actively editing again.

New sections belong at the bottom, not here.
