[WikiEN-l] Votes for Deletion

Fri Nov 28 21:09:00 UTC 2003

I'd like to request that someone revert the section in [[Wikipedia:Votes for
deletion]] on the VfD listing boilerplate to either version oldid=1817959 or
if people feel that all of my changes are controversial and unhelpful (sorry
for the oversimplification) to version oldid=1817954, the one before.

The changes made since:
 1) removed a version of the boilerplate with which (after the edit made in
1817959) I had little complaint, leaving only one with which I disagree, and
 2) changed the official policy to something I am actively in dispute with.

Both changes have been made by people who are in active dispute with me.
This is why I am asking for someone else to revert the standing policy until
the differences are resolved, rather than simply changing it back and
listing my reasons why on the talk page.

Change 1) (oldid=1818182, Daniel Quinlan: new verbose version should always
be used) was made by someone who has called for removal of my sysop privs.

Change 2) (oldid=1824137 (Fuzheado: Put into words the convention we have
already -- putting VfD notice at the top of articles) was made by someone
who was in dispute with me over that very issue at [[Sunset High School]].
