Coupon Looker

What is wrong with including a site like coupon looker when sites that fulfill the same function(Fat Wallet) are listed. Coupon looker is not my site, I don't even know the owners, but I saw it and thought that it was a lot cooler than fat wallet.

Thanks for the information, I apologize if I violated any policies Jessecurry 00:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I made a redirect from ASCII letters to ASCII and ain't sure if that's correct? Peace keeper II 15:33, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Error

I think you have made an error trying to delete the article, Agaram (film), it has plenty of information. Universal Hero 17:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please note!

Films do not meet speedy deletion criteria. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Not a place where you can only find stuff thats already on the web. ~~ AVTN ^{T C}_VPS 19:33, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:AVTN/T/1 Films require a lot of work and money by the cast & crew and the producer. While other productions such as music do not require as much. Therefore I think every commercial film should have an article on wikipedia. This is what me and Universal Hero are working towards.~~ AVTN ^{T C}_VPS 20:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coren and Climate Change Deletions

NOTE: It has been suggested that removing that exchange from my talk page was ill-advised. I am therefore restoring it. Note that comments not explicitly signed were left by Ruanua as history will quickly show. Coren 06:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate that reply from you. A lot of my work is political journalism, and in politics there are always differing points of view. The dominant scientific consensus is now that CLimate Change is occuring, and that it is man made. Two decades ago, this would have been considered pushing a radical left agenda. Now it is becoming established common sense.

Encycolpedias have a duty to record social movements as part of history, with as much of a NPOV as possible. Otherwise, huge segments of human history would go unrecorded. The Climate Change movement may be in its infancy, but I believe it must be documented just as much as other historical social movements such as the Civil Rights, Women's Suffrage or Anti War movements. Climaction is a small group in New Zealand taking its first steps to build a force necessary to safeguard the future for our children and environment- please don't delete its existencce!

Hi Coren again

The act of recording a political groups existence is necessary in something as fast moving as politics. The denial of Climaction's existence as a historical and political fact until some predetermined point in the future pre supposes that Wikipedia is (a) trans-historical, existing outside of a rapdily changing political world and (b) may be construed as an act of unscientific Climate Denial. That's my say on it, and I will appeal any deletion of this article all the way to Wiki's higher echelons.

If Bill Clinton formed a new political group in the morning, would you not report that on grounds that it publicised itself?

COREN- did you delete the Climaction article?

If so, on what grounds, and how do I appeal it. I would like a neutral arbiter on this debate please I consider this an act of Climate Change denial

COREN- No where in the above have I called you any names, yet you campaigned hard to delete the existence of an environmental political groups' WIkipedia entry. Again I ask you under what grounds, and will you be looking to delete the Wiki entries for Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Earth First, Campaign against Climate Change or Rising Tide next?

So the question is 'how notable is Climaction?'; Greenpeace, Earth First, Campaign against Cliamte Change have all been written about by mainstreem sources. Has it gained coverage in national press? Has it been written about in any mainstream political journals? Was it set up by/does it involve an activist/activists who are notable (and might have wikipedia pages allready)? Is it linked to/the sister organisation of any notable international group? etc.

If you think that you can demonstrate this level of notability then you can get a Deletion review, please read more info on that page.

Climaction was subject of a TVNZ 15 minute documentary when Al Gore came to New Zealand [1], and have had extensive coverage in the mainstream press and radio networks here, most notably for its work in organising the protest for the International Day of Action on Climate Change on Nov 4th 2006, and the Carmaggedon protest for Free and Frequent Public Transport on March 3rd 2007.

It has been written about in political journals with mass publication such as the Workers' Charter newspaper, the Unity journal (NZ's premier Marxist publication) etc. It involves many notable NZ activists and individuals from groups such as Socialist Worker, Radical Youth and the Greens and has been supported by people such as Sue Bradford, Laila Harré, John Minto, Simon Oosterman, Matt McCarten, Christine Caughey, Grant Morgan and the Residents Action Movement who polled over 89,000 votes in the last city elections. It is connected nationally with the Climate Defence Network and works alongside GreenPeace New Zealand, and has sisterly contacts with international groups such as Rising Tide and the UK based Campaign against Climate Change. Its website has more info backing up these claims with quotes and links to media articles at www.climaction.org.nz

help with Scuba Research article

Hi Coren,

I am having trouble with my scuba research page getting rejected. I am one of very few (ok only maybe) guys that generates research for the scuba diving industry. I created a compilation of facts and figures that anyone looking for diving data would find useful. I do not sell this data and my reference sites off their data free as well... so still did not understand why the article is getting rejected.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_research

Can we have any dialogue on this?

Thanks so much,
