| == Tagging == | |||
| Hello Jack, | |||
| Rather than having discussions over the 4 or so articles we are arguing over, I thought this would be a good place to discuss common things. | |||
| Issues as I see them: | |||
| # Do staff reviews at enworld and related sites count as ]? I'd say yes, as they have the backing of the site. | |||
| # Do reviews in general counts toward WP:N? Again, I'd say yes. | |||
| # Does Dragon magazine, while run by Piazo count as independent? That's more tricky. I'm told WoTC had veto rights on content, but couldn't dictate content. This is a pretty common thing to have happen. As it was Piazo's staff picking what to write on, not WoTC, I think coverage of material here is fine. Reviews of WotC material are more questionable however. | |||
| Thoughts? ] (]) 15:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| I'm going to give a brief reply now as I have to go. Overall, I believe notability requires much more solid sources than most of those on offer in the D&D articles I've looked at. I expect the ''reason'' that those are what's on offer is that ''they are all there is'', and so they're offered-up in the hope that they'll be enough. I see the reasoning as backwards as editors such as yourself believe the articles should be here and that by finding what sources exist you've done your bit and sourced the article. My view is that if whatever sources exist are not seriously reliable and in depth, etc, then notability just isn't there and the article needs to go. If you want me to leave an article untagged for a concern for such as notability, then find a solid source. The New York Times, for example; something solid and not just a fan-zine or some guy's lamo-tripod site. To specifically address your three points: | |||
| # enworld does not impress me as a reliable site; staff review, or mere user post | |||
| # Of course reviews count; it is a question of who is speaking. | |||
| # Dragon Magazine/Piazo/WoTC are all far too incestuous with the genre to count much. And thank for your frank comment re veto rights. | |||
| I would ask you to look at tagged articles as actually needing work and not to view the tag as the problem but to see the issue it is pointing out as the problem. | |||
| My basic position on some hundreds of thousands of articles on this site is that they are unencyclopaedic and need to go. This stuff belongs elsewhere; Wikia, or something like it. I see this sort of content as leaching on the good graces of largely uninterested editors who happen along and fix some spelling or apply a template. Thus one of the fundamental reasons that many editors prefer articles here vs over on some wikia subdomain is that here there are lots of people who help out. And I view this as unfair to these editors. --] 15:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : ''(butting in)'' - as a volunteer site I tend to think most folks only edit things they want to or don't feel too put upon to edit. I certainly don't push myself to edit things I am not interested in. I have used White Dwarf (produced by Games Workshop), which was/is an independent magazine (WRT D&D) with an international reputation and circulation, to place reviews for D&D material, though I wouldn't use its reviews for Warhammer as they are produced by the same company. The 80s was a time when D&D had a much higher profile and if I trawled through newspaper and magazine archives at the time I am sure I could find stuff to add. cheers, ] (] '''·''' ]) 05:02, 11 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :: Hobit seems to have not edited much since he posted his query. Your post would mostly seem to be about my closing comments and I agree that editors mostly edit what they feel like; there is no real obligation to click any edit link. This is part of why I've vigorously opposed anything in the TV 2 AC case that amount to requiring (i.e. strongly encouraging) editors to participate in transwiki process; it's up to the interested editors. | |||
| :: I suppose what I was getting at above was that many editors here end up doing stuff to move the many unencyclopaedic articles along. By 'along' I don't necessarily mean actions that address any fundamental encyclopaedic question; I'm referring primarily to things such as reverting vandalism, fixing typos and spelling issues (an area in which the D&D articles are quite challenged), and techie edits such as fixing wiki-syntax. If, when the day is done, some article is deleted or buried in a redirect grave, then along with the edits that added whatever unencyclopaedic content, all the good faith edits by others are gone and I view that as a greater lose that of the effort of the ''fans''. This is a key reason that I believe dealing with such issues is best done sooner than later; sooner means there is less time for passersby to stumble upon an unencyclopaedic article and waste their time on it. | |||
| :: I think all sources such as fan magazines are on the light side. Such things are largely self-promoting (not of a specific company, but of whatever genre or hobby). No, I don't think the NYT is the be-all and end-all of sources, but if somebody serious who is out-of-universe comments on a D&D band of dwarves (example), then you've got something interesting. A lot of the rest is just guff (or worse, a cite of a tripod site). Cheers, ] 09:52, 11 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

The image as it appeared on the magazine cover of Dragon #339 is available in full w/ accompanying text and headers here: http://paizo.com/image/product/catalog/TSR/TSR82339_500.jpeg for public download. However that version is more representative of the magazine rather than the Lazy of Pain, the subject of the wiki article. | |||
| Further, the image you dispute fair use of is one of only four full images of the fictional character in question, and to my knowledge the only one that has been available for download as a whole image without overlayed or adjacent book text or magazine cover headers. If there's going to be an image, that's the one truly viable candidate. | |||
| I'll be updating the fair use template this evening with the additional information, sourcing details, and rationale. That should remove any reasonable objections to its fair use within the article in question. ] (]) 17:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : The image you linked to above would be an appropriate one for the rationale currently on ] ''if'' ] were an article about the magazine issue rather than about the character depicted. I see that the image I've disputed the rational on is not a cropping; magazines covers rarely have nothing but the art. I have no idea what the original uploader meant by ''I posed for this''. I'll strike the bit about being cropped. I would suggest a rational that has nothing to do with the magazine; they, presumably, got permission from the artist; indeed, they may have commissioned it. nb: just because there may be few good images extant does not mean WP is entitled to claim fair use on one of them. Cheers, ] 06:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :: The original uploader apparently meant just what she said, she posed as a model for R.K. Post when he painted the original image. I don't see any particular reason to doubt them, though having spoken to Mr. Post in the past, he's easy enough to get a hold of to ask if you wanted to fact check on the OP's statement. Assuming good faith, and the content of the OP's modeling website, I don't doubt the claim. And yes, Paizo publishing did in fact commission R.K. to draw that image specifically. ] (]) 06:41, 9 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| :::: Just to help me understand your continuing concerns for the image, what would constitute fair use to you? The only other images suited for the article appear either on the cover of 'In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil', copyright TSR and unavailable AFAIK except for a full scan of the cover image including overlayed text and title; an image in the background (overlayed with text) of 'Expedition to the Demonweb Pits' copyright Wizards of the Coast; or an image present on a page in the Planescape Campaign Setting by Tony DiTerlizzi (a scan of which has been present in past versions of the artist's website). The R.K. Post image is the only one which to my knowledge has been released by the original commissioner (Paizo publishing) in its original form without accompanying title or text overlay. The image was available for public download. | |||

| A section on contemporary media references is legitimate, especially with regard to the Qilin, a mythical animal that has found new popularity in the West primarily through its usage in anime/games/comics. Sad but true. As you can probably see, that entire section is (1) internally consistent and (2) logically flows in the overall scheme of the article. It is not a random collection of disjoint facts. For some other examples of "media portrayals" being a section in diverse articles, see, for example, ], ], ] (films section). --] (]) 15:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : I do see your position. I was really hoping that you would wade in at ].

| :: As I've already explained, this is ''not'' a trivia section. The mentions of the Qilin in, for example, the Pet Shop of Horrors, is definitely encyclopaedic and probably even important. The other items are, to me, less important, but it is conceivable that they would be regarded as encyclopaedic by others. | |||
| :: As I've pointed out above, a "trivia" section is a section of disjointed random facts. This section is both internally consistent and relevant to the rest of the article. | |||

| OK, if one plays in the ], then one gets ]... | |||
| ] is by nature a place where relations are strained and it is very easy to become aggravated. I find that I can be alot more collaborative with people if I don't go there as it really brings into sharp focus some of the less savoury viewpoints etc. of others with different views here. | |||
| I ''still'' don't know why there is a preoccupation with crufty material - it doesn't hurt anyone nor is it self-aggrandising nor will anyone find it who is not looking for it. Yes I am very frustrated precious few people are putting in references, but I am familiar with the depth of third party material and am not too worried. I try to correct the sloppy prose and layout where I can, though a Sword of Damocles of AfD is a pretty good disincentive. | |||
| You've pointed out others..god I keep finding more such as '']'', which is a noxious weed here in Oz. | |||
| The whole thing I had a problem with was, hypothetically, if one ''were'' a vandal whose aim was to remove as much material from wikipedia as possible, whether as a spy from rival company, say, born-again chrisitan with an antithetical viewpoint to alot of it, or someone with a really big axe to grind, there would be no better way than what has been achieved by TTN in the past year. Start with the sloppy stuff which there is some opposition to anyway, attract a few impressionable editors and away you go. I am glad I am wrong about a few people who since all this has started have begun editing and doing things more constructively, really I am. | |||
| I'd hazard a guess and say that if you're an anglo-saxon person living in Bali you may have a somewhat different world view on what's important than a large number of editors here- better to emphasise the positives with collaboraitve work rather than differences with trench warfare at AfD. I don't know. Anyway...plenty of environmental weeds need tagging...Cheers, ] (] '''·''' ]) 20:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks. I certainly see that time spent advocating deletion, redirection, or even just trimming of crufty stuff garners a lot of ill-will. For the most part, I shrug that off. I really feel that there are some hundreds of thousands of articles that don't belong here for a variety of reasons; they are non-notable, fail a bunch of policies and guidelines and are created out of obsessive fandom and not because there is anything encyclopaedic to say about them. You will never find me proposing the deletion of a real plant, or animal species, or the ] or anything else with real merit. Such articles are what this site is for. On the other hand, ] should only be covered at www.BloopBall.com, but not here. | |||
| : The Pumpkin guy seems to take great exception to , which may be a factor in your born-again comment. I told him that is so-not me (''religious fanaticism''). Your comment brings to mind the gay ]. FWIW, I think such controversies are highly appropriate for coverage here. I'll also note that ] an article but it's long-redirected. Good-on. | |||
| : I noticed TTN last year and this brought the whole realm of crufty stuff to my attention. Wow; something to clean-up. You may have noticed I often use the edit summary ''tidy'' for assorted clean-up. I am not much of a writer — prose — but I'm quite experienced at things like memos where you have to make clear and succinct arguments that hold up to challenge. Thus I edit a lot of talk and other discussion pages. I'm also good at editing, in the copy-paste and text-manipulation sense; any substantive tweaking of article text I do in an external editor. Incidentally, I have engaged in no off-wiki email communications with any of the usual editors about planning coordinated activities. It's all on talk pages or a result of noting what they were working on. | |||
| : I came across ] today. Beyond what that says, there is the namespace issue I brought up with you before. Inappropriate articles underfoot ''is'' of concern for many reasons. I'm sure when wikipedia was smaller, the view was more enthusiastic re new articles; ''great, that makes 101,000 articles.'' We're in the millions and scalability issues surface when things move into big numbers. The fans who create such articles largely don't do the maintenance on those articles. Sure, the larger fandoms have a few editors who will create navigation templates and such (even if just by copying something), but a whole lot of stubby articles are created by short-term redlink accounts or anons and are then just left for others to deal with. Some of those others clean things up, others seek to take out the trash. Consider ]; some spammer created this and a bunch of others have to spend time discussing the merits of the damned thing (gotta watch those religion-derived intensifiers)? Shite like that should be speedy deleted without bothering so many people. | |||
| : I seek to address these concerns in an expeditious manner because the first thing to do with a recognized problem is to stop digging the hole deeper. | |||
| : A new issue of '''' came out today (theme: ''The lighter and darker sides of Bali, Asia's fashionable playground''). You, living in ], probably have a better concept of what Bali is like than do most of the American and European editors. I think White Cat's view of the place is more like ] and that we only have internet access here when ] peddles the ] bike. Part of my world-view, from here, ''is'' a lot different than that of folks in the trenches of the western rat race. ''That is what Bali is about''. | |||
| : Cheers, ] 11:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

As far as ], can you imagine the authors ''(if not allowed to write on this wonderful game)'' turning around and contributing to, say, ] ''(hey, oh gosh there's a nice tag on that one too - bet this article's had some interesting vandalism)''.

Proposed deletion of Mobile payments in Indonesia
The article Mobile payments in Indonesia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This isn't even about mobile payments in Indonesia, it's about a particular vendor of credit for mobile phones and the services they offer. Said vendor fails corporate notability guidelines due to insufficient depth of coverage in independent, reliable sources. Its products fail the product notability guidelines and the general notability guideline on the same basis.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
