Boobquake and Atheism

edit

I feel strongly that Boobquake should be included in the Atheism Category. It was started by an Atheist and fellow members of her Atheist student union in an effort to show the irrationality of religious claims. How much more Atheist does a subject have to be to be recognized as Atheistic on Wikipedia?

Speedy deletion nomination of WMDE

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on WMDE requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Shakeology

edit

Hi there, though your effort to present a neutral point of view is much appreciated, the issue with these edits [1][2] is that you are presenting an analysis of controversy, where you have not adequately sourced the controversy, or attributed contrary thought to its source. "...However, John Doe, head of the American Medical Association has criticized the supplements for making XYZ claims, which are not consistent with existing nutritional science" or something of that nature. I've removed the content, but encourage you to resubmit when you can flesh it out a little better. Thanks, and please note that it's nothing personal.

You reverted my addition of Shakeology being listed as one of their products. It IS a Beach Body product, one that is a major source of revenue for the company, which means it merits being listed. The website for Shakeology is cited because it contains the evidentiary statement that Shakeology is owned in whole by Beachbody. Whether or not you THINK people will automatically acknowledge their ownership is irrelevant, sources need be cited. Please review Wikipedia policy before reverting other people's work.

Hi, you've erroneously posted your reply at Talk:Beachbody. It's not going to make much sense there, so I've moved it here. I'm well aware with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I reverted your edit because it contained improperly sourced information. The Shakeology matter was not in dispute, but I don't have typically have much time to sift through edits to pick out the good parts from the problematic parts. However, I did volunteer time for that in my second semi-revert, so the net result is that the useful content you submitted is in the article, but the not-yet-useful content is not.
