it is common to refer to correspondence of any kind (including email and webpages) as being in green ink, so long as it broadly fits the following identifying characteristics: - Stridency - Impertinence - Unreasonableness - Unrealism - Fancifulness - Obsessiveness 2009/4/9 Scientia Potentia est bibliomaniac...@yahoo.com Oddly enough the Wikipedia article makes even less sense than the original declaration. bibliomaniac15 --- On Thu, 4/9/09, James Farrar james.far...@gmail.com wrote: From: James Farrar james.far...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Green Ink Day To: English Wikipedia wikien-l@lists.wikimedia.org Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 9:59 AM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_ink 2009/4/9 purple.clou...@gmail.com Could you please explain?

Furthermore, it was speedy deleted. You CANNOT speedy delete an article with 40 fucking references. This is scandalous. It is not really reasonable to say the article was speedily deleted. The third AfD debate ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alan_Cabal_(3rd_nomination)) ran for the full time, and ended in a clear delete consensus. The article was then created again, which made a clear case of speedy deletion under criterion G4 (recreation of previously deleted material). Only after this was noticed and the article deleted under G4 was the AfD close taken to deletion review. During this debate the article history was restored so that non-admins could see the article. A further full time debate was held. There was no consensus to overturn the close, so when the deletion review ended the history was again deleted. Deletion debates do not always come to the right decision, but when they don't, it is a mistake and not a scandal. The reason for the article being nominated for deletion was lack of notability, and not lack of references. The problem with the references is, I suspect, that too few of them are in the sort of mainstream publications which would make a clear case of notability. -- Sam Blacketer ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
