I've noticed recently that there are a lot of these kinds of lists. See ] for a few examples. Some of these are useful, some are not. But there isn't that much discussion on these things in this essay. I think something should be added, but I'm uncertain as to what. ] 04:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC) I've noticed recently that there are a lot of these kinds of lists. See ] for a few examples.

===Survey of English Dialects===
I've noticed that someone has tagged this page recently as an unencyclopedic list. The thing is that the page is going to be really useful for those who are interested in dialects. I know that many Americans can never understand how English people get so interested in dialects, but they do. It is hard to find a single list elsewhere on the internet on all of the S.E.D. sites; the information is all diffuse. I am prepared to join the cause of defending Misplaced Pages lists as a result. ] 09:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Current essay

An editor removed the essay flag with the incorrect comment that it was a failed guideline. That is simply incorrect. Although this essay had been considered as a guideline earlier, its creators decided it would work better as an essay... and that's what it is. If there is any language in it remaining that is too suggestive of its prior origin, change a few words, but the essay remains useful. LotLE×talk 15:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

As an essay, is a good one and should remain. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 19:20, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

List Namespace

A discussion is going on here to introduce seperate namespace. A request to bugzilla (7561) also have been made for this. Your response is invited on the proposal page. Regards, Shyam 20:37, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

List of Fictional X

I've noticed recently that there are a lot of these kinds of lists. See Lists of fictional things for a few examples. Some of these are useful, some are not. But there isn't that much discussion on these things in this essay. I think something should be added, but I'm uncertain as to what. Mister.Manticore 04:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
