I see no reason why this should be considered a point of view article. In the additional parts of the article arguments from both have been represented. ~jfraatz

Fetal rights

Please stop removing the {{pov}} tag from this article without discussion. The language used in this article expresses a very specific point of view and unless that changes the tag needs to stay on the article. Please discuss this on the talk page before removing the tag again, otherwise you will be committing vandalism and may fall foul of the three revert rules. Thanks, Gwernol 19:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Tiktaalik roseae

Thank you for contributing the article Tiktallik. There was a spelling mistake in the title of the article. The correct spelling for this fossil species is Tiktaalik roseae, and there is an article at Tiktaalik that you might enjoy reading. The name comes from the Inuktitut language of the Inuit people, so it isn't easy for many English-speakers to spell. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 01:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikicladogram Project

If you intention was to create a WikiProject, please see Misplaced Pages: WikiProject and move the page to the Misplaced Pages namespace rather than the article space. However, from what you've written so far, the WikiCladogram Project appears to be a non-Misplaced Pages proejct because it says that pages should contain links to their corresponding Misplaced Pages project. If this is the case, then a Misplaced Pages page would be innappropriate under our notability guidelines for articles about websites. savidan 19:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The article has been deemed unsuitable for the rticle namespace. It is now at User:Jfraatz/Wikicladogram Project. Let me know if you have any questions about this. — Gareth Hughes 00:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Discussion of Fetal Rights article

I've replied on the article's talk page. Thanks for reminding me to do that. Gwernol 19:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for all the work you've put in to the article recently. Its greatly improved and I've removed the {{POV}} label. Best, Gwernol 20:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Abortion page edits

Hey, Jfraatz. Thanks for the thought of adding fetal rights to the abortion article. Severa has reverted your last edit because I changed your earlier edit such that fetal rights was added to the article, but in the See Also section. The sentence you created with your addition was somewhat odd. So, rather than get into an edit war, any further discussion should be on the abortion Talk page. --BCSWowbagger 23:07, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

AfD

Please do not take AfD nominations personally. The fact of the matter is that there were no clear, accessible sources listed in the article before Goldom amended your formatting error. The numbered citations were deadlinks and the "External links" section was assumed to be just that — an external links section — not a "Reference" or "Source" list. You can refer to the Manual of Style if you need information on how to correctly format a Misplaced Pages article. Refer to WP:V, WP:CITE, WP:RS, and WP:OR for information on standards of sourcing.

The fact that SB_Johnny and Jll both refered to the article as being "POV" on the AfD page, and Byrgenwulf agreed it was an "unencyclopaedic essay," suggest to me that issues of neutrality have not been resolved. Misplaced Pages is a community project, and just because Gwernol does not object, does not mean that others will not (see WP:OWN). WP:NPOV is a founding tenant of Misplaced Pages, and an especially important rule among controversial, hot-button articles, so it is unacceptable to let non-neutral, emotively-charged terms like "unborn child" or "fetal person" slide "for the sake of the argument."

It is my belief that the subject, in its current state, does not warrant a seperate article, and should be merged to fetal protection, abortion debate, or person.

Userboxes

Jfraatz, just in case you want to get into creating more userboxes you might want to go here. BrainiacOutcast 17:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Fetal rights, again

Please refer to Talk:Fetal rights for a reply. Also, future concerns regarding that article would be better addressed to the article's Talk page, rather than my personal user Talk page. -Severa (!!!) 03:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

For thoughts regarding inappropriate or insufficient sources, please refer Gwernol and my replies on Talk:Fetal rights. -Severa (!!!) 23:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
