Welcome to Misplaced Pages! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Wikitage) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Hatch68 19:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Hatch68 is a disingenous editor and should have his editing priviliges revoked.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't so-called Deletionists a higher class of Misplaced Pages users (read: editors) that are bound to uphold the integrity of Misplaced Pages by only deleting articles based on genuine principles of fairness, etc.? I didn't think that just anyone can delete a page. Thus, if someone is able to delete an article, he is supposed to do so only to protect and serve the interests of Misplaced Pages and not to sabotage (wikitage) the article.
Remember, wikitage borrows from both its root words, i.e. it's not just about sabotage in a generic sense (which would include destruction or deletion as tools of sabotage). Instead, wikitage is defined by viewing sabotage through the principles of Misplaced Pages, which include the editability/wikibility of articles and fact that deletion powers are limited to the Misplaced Pages editors.
Note: one who wikitages is a wikiteur, not a "wikitager" (sic). If wikitage stands as an article, such confusion can be minimalized via Misplaced Pages. - Hide quoted text -

I find your narrow interpretation of Wikitage to be insulting and exclusive. Deletion has long been part of the arsenal of a well-rounded Wikitager, and we Deletionists demand our place among the brotherhood.

Precisely. Wikitage is strictly the malicious editing of an entry so that the article remains in a form that is not what was intended. The motive (spirit) is clearly not the suppression of true information, but rather the propagation of misinformation.
Editing an entry and deleting an entry are entirely separate actions. Deletion is not a subset of editing.

So you're saying the speedy is not "in the spirit" of wikitage?

Hey man,
Don't be such a hater on wikitage. It's not nonsense.
Could you please take off the speedy deletion tag? You won't lose any credibility (or sleep) over it!
Thanks.

According to WP:ENGVAR, British terminology can be used for articles on British subjects. There is no need to change it. ... discospinster talk 03:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
