Nomination of Analysis of Alternatives for deletion edit

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Analysis of Alternatives is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Analysis of Alternatives until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Dougweller (talk) 12:48, 5 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

March 2016 edit

  Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Ancient Canaanite religion that didn't seem very civil, Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 14:30, 12 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

{lease read WP:VANDALISM and unless you think our posts meet the definition of vandalism strike your attack. Or, if you still maintain it's vandalising, as I'm not just an Administrator but also a member of the WP:Arbitration Committee, if I'm vandalising this is really serious misbehaviour by me and should be reported at WP:ANI. Doug Weller talk 14:33, 12 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Since you seem to be the instigator, your are hardly an unbiased judge, both yourself and IN have reversed articles, your actions seem to be motivated. Based on the silly wars I seem to be having between you and IN, I guess I will report it.GESICC (talk) 14:35, 12 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Or you could try something else like an WP:RFC. Doug Weller talk 06:18, 13 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Or I could try regretting my rash words, and brazening it out with you. See you on " 'Cosmological '" with what I hope is a reasonable way forward. Respectfully yours, GESICC (talk) 21:15, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:Cosmological argument. If you want to convince people you are right, attacking them by saying they are non-constructive won't convince them. Doug Weller talk 19:35, 15 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, Doug, it is still available to be read; disingenuous questions, attempting to game wiki rules, to re-define what I said, attempting to state the references were not valid - and however many other tactics I see on blogs for insincere people to "make their point" at the expense of reality. "Good faith" was dispelled by the counter arguments, and of course by not discussing the article first, then deleting the article sans futher discussion. First cast the mote from your own eye... Good faith, as you say, should have been extended to myself, first. GESICC (talk) 22:42, 15 March 2016 (UTC)GESICC (talk) 22:47, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for July 29 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Prediction, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Foundation. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
