Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Confusion on Brown v. Board

In the first part a HBCU is defined as an institution founded before 1964. However, later it states institutions founded after Brown v. Board are not eligible. Brown v. Board was decided in 1954, so there is a 10 year gap where it seems to be contradictory. For example, University of the Virgin Islands was founded in 1962, after Brown v. Board, but before the 1964 date and is recognized as a HBCU. Can someone clear up the discrepancy (1954 against 1964) for both me and on the page. Thanks. RonSigPi (talk) 01:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The 1964 date is the official measure, not Brown vs. Board of Education. The court ruling was a compromise statement added to address a past discussion on the issue of predominately black instuituions that were not included on the listing. I added the following (which is actually more accurate):
The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, defines an HBCU as: "...any historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary to be a reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is, according to such an agency or association, making reasonable progress toward accreditation."
Other educational institutions currently have large numbers of African Americans in their student body, but as they were founded (or opened their doors to African Americans) after the implementation of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court (the court decision which outlawed racial segregation of public education facilities) and The Higher Education Act of 1965. Thus by definition they are not historically black colleges, but have been termed "predominantly black."
Hopefully this provides a little more clarity. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 01:55, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Bart Tanski

A tag has been placed on Bart Tanski requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 biographies.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Paste (talk) 21:07, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Though the Bart Tanski article could be sent to AfD for the sake of process, it has very little chance of surviving AfD unless more sources can be found. If you would like me to move the article to your user space so you can add sources and improve the article, that would be a reasonable step. Let me know if you think you could spend any time on that, or have any idea where press coverage might be found. If you are wondering about the importance of the Mr. Football Award (Ohio), you'll notice that most winners of that award who currently have Misplaced Pages articles have a lot of references in their articles. The Tanski article, when it was deleted, had no references at all. EdJohnston (talk) 03:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
I have restored the article to User:RonSigPi/Bart Tanski. You can work on improving it there. Later, it can be restored to mainspace. Of course, if it is moved back to mainspace, it will need to take its chances at AfD unless the sourcing can be improved. Let me know if I can help with anything further.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello RonSigPi! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 28 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Your contributed article, John Flanagan (footballer, born 1993)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, John Flanagan (footballer, born 1993). First, thank you for your contribution; Misplaced Pages relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - John Flanagan (footballer born 1993). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Misplaced Pages. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at John Flanagan (footballer born 1993) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Misplaced Pages looks forward to your future contributions. User:ConconJondor talk 19:06, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pete Lalich

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Pete Lalich requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Greenmaven (talk) 04:28, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

What happened to the article you started

I moved the article to User:RonSigPi/Pete Lalich. It is not acceptable to have biographies without a simple reference. The person probably meets Notability guidelines, but it needs references. Let me know if you want some help creating refernces, or check out Referencing for beginners

Please feel free to work on it in user space, and move it when it is ready.--SPhilbrickT 14:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

What problem?

Maybe you could explain what problem changing a has been team like Notre Dame for a team that has actually been productive over the past decade like LSU would cause? Niteshift36 (talk) 22:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Sure. To be blunt, this causes a slippery slope that people can just edit to put in their favorite team. Why LSU? How about Ohio State? How about Oklahoma? Or Florida? The point is that many teams are 'powerhouses', but the whole point is to just give examples, not to give the 'best' teams. All an edit like this does is cause needless edits of chest pumping of people over favorite teams. Everyone know Notre Dame and Michigan are storied and elite programs. That does not state LSU is not, but the list is of examples and is not exhaustive.
Look at it in this context, so in five years we are going to need to constantly update our examples for who is 'good' for that period. It actually goes further than that. The guidelines are not just for the current time, but historical as well. So the historical accomplishments of Notre Dame and Michigan are just as relevant as those of LSU, Ohio State, etc. Your edit gave no further clarity to the guidelines and solved no existing problem. Therefore, to stop a president for those needless edits, the edit was undone. RonSigPi (talk) 03:25, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Your proposal and Luke Wilton

If I understand your proposed change to WP:NBOX, Luke Wilton would not meet your proposed criteria since he lost his title fight. If that is not correct, please clarify for me. I must admit I don't know what it is about the martial arts that leads to so many different organizations. It doesn't matter whether it's boxing, MMA, karate, kickboxing, or whatever--everybody feels the need to create their own group and/or style. I guess it'a all about the egos of those involved (and, of course, money). Papaursa (talk) 04:35, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Papaursa - To your message, yes - if my proposal is accepted his presumption would go away. I think my proposal is more strict than I would like, but I think it is a fair summary of the consensus and does address actual controversies arising due to ambiguity. I would rather the guideline be correct than me personally be right. Far as your combat sports question, I think its the de-centralized nature of the sports. Most sports either are nationally-focused and have a national body the governs (National Football League or Australian Football League) and/or are an Olympic sport with a sub-organization the governs International Association of Athletics Federations (yes boxing is an Olympic sport, but is the only one that only applies pretty much for amateurs). With boxing, MMA, etc. its much more of a free-for-all. From a guidelines standpoint I think it makes them trickier to nail down. Just one guy's opinion. RonSigPi (talk) 05:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm John from Idegon. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Walnut Creek, California, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Does the presence of a pile of dog poop in the living room suggest the solution is bringing more dog poop in? No....you clean it up. The vast majority if not all of the other entries have referenced content in their bios verifying the tie with the community. This fella is alive, so BLP applies. It isn't my or any other editor's job to do your research for you. WP:V is a core policy. If you want to be lazy, expect to get reverted. John from Idegon (talk) 02:53, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for creating Gunnevera, definitely an interesting back story on his trainer even if the horse is a bit marginal for notability (we normally want to see them win a G1 first). You may want to expand it a bit. If you could be so kind, would you consider adding an infobox {{Infobox racehorse}} and pedigree as we do for most of the horse racing articles? You can use the example at Cloud Computing (horse) to help you. I'm willing to provide advice on this one (I've already created two others, so a bit out of gas for starting new articles at the moment...) Montanabw 00:56, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

OK but expand

Though not a G1 winner, Afleet Again will probably pass GNG due to his win in the Marathon, which used to be a G1. However, the article is a real stub, so, per my suggestions on the Gunnevera article above, can you at least add the infobox and source it to the equibase record for the horse? We have about 10,000 horse racing articles and need everyone to pitch in on these. Thanks. Montanabw 01:05, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Your challenges to AfD

I have now crossed your path at both rodeo and horse racing articles. I have to ask you flat out the following questions: 1) Is this your only Misplaced Pages editing account? 2) Have you been asked to create any article by any entity that could give rise to a conflict of interest? 3) Are you being paid to edit[REDACTED] in any way? As it sits, you are creating a lot of low-quality stubs of marginally-notable subjects, tendentiously gaming the guidelines to keep them, and this smacks of undisclosed paid editing. Please clarify your role here on Misplaced Pages. Montanabw 22:28, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Montanabw - At best, this is a violation of WP:CIV. At worst, something far greater. You do not have to ask such questions, you are choosing to ask them, choosing to be aggressive, and choosing to disparage my name. I have been an editor for years as have you. Maybe you are what one pejoratively calls a deletionist and I an inclusionist. Reasonable minds can differ. Virtually all articles I write meet a guideline and are sourced. If not to a level to establish GNG, the so be it, but no one would think its not honest effort. Nothing wrong with stubs - better to ave a stub than nothing. Also, marginally-notable subjects, are still notable (or at least may reasonably be notable). Its not as if no basis is given. I think your conduct have been aggressive and out of line. My suggestion is for 3 months stop nominating my articles for deletion or commenting on their deletion. Let's see how many are nominated and how many nominations are successful. Based on the result we can come to an understanding on if I need to raise my standard for inclusion or if you need to let articles that meet the guideline be. In other words, stay out of each others way for a while, let things cool, and re-evaluate with more data. You consistently attacking my articles and me making efforts to defend them is a waste of both our times. I think this is a reasonable solution. If you have a better idea, then please let me know, but note I am not going to accept something one sided such as "work on articles that far exceed the standards" or "work on what I would like see improved" are only one-way and not a productive route forward.
