The article ''did'' look like vanity, but I didn't know that it had previously been deleted so thought it was better to have a closer look at it when I had more time to see if it needed afd'ing. I've certainly no objection to a {{tl|db}} on it - in fact I'll go back and delete it now if no-one's already done it! ]...''<small><font color="#008822">]</font></small>'' 06:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

I admit the article may have been a bit biased, and I would like for it to conform to Misplaced Pages's standards. Any help or clarification would be appreciated.--] 03:54, 19 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi John! | |||
| It would have been better if we had a talk before that prod. Anyways viruses themselves are not that popular in Linux and among the viruses listed ], ] is one that has been well researched on. It's not about creating a virus database here on Misplaced Pages but a person who goes ] should have the option to get detailed information about the contents listed. There's no point in having the List of linux computer viruses page if a person has to "google" for getting details about the viruses! Do tell me what you think about that. ] 08:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : Actually, the ] probably should be removed, or renamed to "List of notable Linux computer viruses". It lists only a tiny fraction of the viruses out there, and as an unmaintained list, it's just listcruft. Misplaced Pages is just the wrong tool for dynamic lists. --] 17:45, 20 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Yes, I did delete that because nothing is wrong with the article. I am not trying to be mean or anything I just saw that blog and thought it would make an interesting article. (by ]). | |||
| : It's not enough for an article to be interesting. It has to be notable. "Notable" has specific meaning on Misplaced Pages. See ] for what makes a web page notable, and ] for what makes a piece of software notable. It's not just you; about a thousand articles a day are deleted from Misplaced Pages. Yes, you can add anything, but that doesn't mean it stays in. Also, since your user name is "NIreland" and the article is about "Nick Ireland", it's assumed that you are writing about yourself. | |||
| : You can argue against deletion, by writing your argument on the article's Articles for Deletion page, but deleting the Articles for Deletion template won't stop the process. --] 08:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| John, I hear what you are saying about my name. I am a "Nick Irelan" ,obviously you didn't look at the name that closely, but just like many John Nagles exist there is more than one Nick Irelan. I typed my name in to Google and I found that Nirelan's website. I am definatly not a computer science student. I am not a student at all. I don't know how a completely new method of programming can not be considered interesting. | |||

| == List of hardcore punk bands == | |||
| Well, I'm not a fan, I just picked a particularly messy list to try and keep tidy. The best way to do this is to expunge all the red and myspace links, as if there's no article, they won't be notable (areas such as this now have pretty much 100% coverage now). Then the list can be dumped once the equivalent category is populated.

| == Zundis == | |||
| G'day John, | |||
| Thanks for . The ] article originally said that Zundis was just another word for alcoholic beverages. Such an article is clearly useless, which left me with two choices (well, three, if you count "ignoring it"): redirect it somewhere useful, in case anyone looks for the word; or delete it. I usually take the view that redirecting is nearly always better than deleting, because if someone took the time to create an article under the name, someone else will probably search for it, too.

Out of interest where do bug reports get filed? --] 16:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==list of hardcore punk bands== | |||
| Dont understand why you deleted list information? Its a perfectly valid list and should be added to not deleted surely. ] 23:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : I went through every band in that list, and if it had an article and wasn't already in ], added it to that category. Once the list and category were in sync, I deleted the list. So the list is about what it was, but now it's always in sync with the articles. | |||
| : There's some programming work going on to make it possible to generate a page from a category, and when that's working, the list can reappear, but it will be auto-generated from the category. The idea is to cut down on redundant updating work. "You should never have to tell the computer something it already knows". In time, I hope to have more lists converted to categories in this way. --] 03:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| * Hmm... that would seem to make redlinks impossible, which is one of the reasons for having lists | |||
| (Advantages of lists | |||
| Lists can include items for which there are no articles (red links); categories can only list things for which there are articles, unless stubs are created.) | |||
| Please correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding of what you're trying to do. ] 17:10, 1 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Someone else had already gone through and eliminated almost all the bands with redlinks. They'd also put in the message, as a comment visible when editing, ''"Please, only add bands for who articles or stubs have been created. Be aware that since bands often get their names from other things. Make sure that the link you add is actually to the band's article and not to the thing it is named after."'' Since the list had already been purged of no-article bands, a category could easily replace the list. The idea is that if you want to add a band, but don't have enough info, add a band stub with the category, and it goes into the list. --] 17:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==I restored the Monnet Plan== | |||
| You seem to be confused regarding what the article is about. | |||
| The article conscerns itself with the "original" plan, from just after the end of the war, when France tried to redirect German coal from the Ruhr away from German heavy industry and into the French economy instead. | |||
| It does '''not''' conscern itself with the alternative plan that developed years later, that involved merging the german mines in the Ruhr into a common system, whereby France could gains some control on German reindustrialisation and stop any rearmament, and which led to the European Union, sort of. | |||

| : Have you read Huber's "The Bottomless Well"? It really is faith-based economics. On charts of when oil will peak, Huber is all alone out there at infinity. Everybody else has dates from 2005 to 2050. Huber himself is kind of dated right now; from his prediction, oil would never hit $70/bbl. Actually, it's been striking how little supply increased when the price doubled. Elasticity on the supply side is painfully low. --] 17:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Sorry, I thought "Huber" in your note was a shortening of "Hubbert". But it doesn't matter here, nor do the intricacies of the Peak Oil arguments. It is a violation of NPOV to to asymetrically call one view "faith" and another "prediction", when ''both'' are ''predictions'' their proponents can be said to have "faith" in. It doesn't matter what book the "faith" usage is a reference to. ] 17:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::There really is such a thing as faith-based economics. Here in California, we remember the politician who said publicly "I believe in the free market as an article of faith" when the system for deregulatiing electricity, with auctions every half hour, was set up. This was before the blackouts, the huge runup in electricity prices, and Enron. Search Google for "article of faith" and "free market". Huber belongs to that faction. So "faith" is not inappropriate there. "Prediction" might be. Huber has no clue to get there; he just assumes the problem will be solved by market forces. It's kind of sad. --] 17:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, | |||
| I get the impression you're a proponent of the peak oil theory, whoever it's attributed to, with more than a bit of mathematical and physical background. Since I'm trying to chase down questionable claims in the article, and am, at best, sceptical that Hubbert made any convincing argument we're going to see a symmetric, single-pronounced-peak, smooth oil production curve. It's not that I disagree with him saying that: as far as I can tell, he never did. | |||
| So, since (I believe) we have opposing viewpoints on this, I'd thought I'd ask you to please watch my edits; if there's anything you wish to discuss, go ahead, and if there's anything that seems totally unacceptable to you, go ahead and fix or revert it. I understand discussing everything in great detail might be something you're too busy for, but even a short comment would at least draw my attention to the fact that there's a problem with my edit. | |||
| ] 08:05, 10 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : OK. Actually, I think that Hubbert's symmetry claim was not that the curve is symmetric, but that the area under the curve on each side of the peak is equal. That is, peak production occurs when half the resource has been exhausted. I'm not entirely happy with Hubbert's math either, but the line through the points in Deffeyes does match reasonably well. --] 16:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::The curve isn't symetric. The curve describes the rate of production the peak of which just happens to be close to the mid point of total production. The production rate was zero befor the 19th century and will most likely never fall to zero in the future. The rate of production is crucial however because our consumption can not exceed the rate of production (excluding storage depletion) and our demand just keeps going up. ] 15:12, 18 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == churches and atlases (refactored from ]) == | |||
| I'd prefer to leave that to church enthusiasts. Actually, I'm thinking that we need "Misplaced Pages Atlas", a map-based system that can handle a very large number of location-based items, like all those "State Route 123"-type items. Space is what keeps everything from being in the same place. A text-based system isn't the right tool for that job. I've proposed elsewhere that a standard "location" template with lat/long info be added to all place-related items, so that at some future time, they can be tied to a map system. --] 05:58, 11 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :We seemed to be getting off topic, so I figured I'd take the liberty of moving this to keep that page short. I'd always wondered what the heck long/lat coordinates were doing in articles. That sounds like a great idea. What's kept it from happening? I suppose an atlas would require a lot of new code.--] ] 06:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| The Swiss Avenue article isn't an attempt at selling real estate.. not sure how to explain to you the importance of the street. It is the most recognizable residential street name in the city.. the only other non-residential street that might have more importance is Main or Preston or something. Its one of the few places in the city that has true, well-crafted mansions .. that aren't McMansions from the 1990s and 2000s. Influential businessmen, city leaders, etc have lived there, many of the homes are designed by notable American architects, and many are on, at least, the Dallas register of historic places. The street has been widened into a boulevard of sorts (well, just divided) by the city of Dallas and has been really worked up.. — more than it being a street, its a historic district, which is why it should be considered important. Unfortunately I do not know, right now, where to get information (like history) of encyclopedic value.
