- archive as historical on meta'. I'm sure this could be useful somewhere, but as Wikipedia is explicitly not a how-to guide it isn't there. Would fit on Wikibooks or Wikisource? I don't know too much about what they take and don't take. Thryduulf 23:32, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete You mean, if I post something irrelevant to Meta, and no one notices it for three years, then we can keep it because it is now a "historical page"? Not only is this page irrelevant to Meta, it is also of poor quality. I have copied it to Wikibooks:en:Transwiki:Autograph collecting do's and dont's, in case someone at Wikibooks wants to write a how-to for it. --Kernigh 00:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Wikiversity/Archive
I've copied the content of this page into Talk:Wikiversity/Old - I don't know where the content had come from, but there is only one version of the page in the history, so it was obviously copied and pasted from somewhere else in the first place. It's not a big deal, but it's just reducing the amount of archived talk pages we have for Wikiversity. Cormaggio @ 10:56, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- Seems best to just leave it where it was and delete the new page you created. One is worth keeping, but there's no pressing need to change the name. - Taxman 20:34, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, just to explain, Talk:Wikiversity/Old and Talk:Wikiversity/Archive existed already - I didn't create a new page or a new name, I've simply merged them. I want the one which had no history (ie which had itself been copied from somewhere else) to be deleted. Cormaggio @ 07:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

- I will respect a concensus that this doesn't belong here if it doesn't belong here. You need to settle down and avoid flatly accusing me of deception when you haven't done your research. The conversation at wikibooks which I mentioned was under the deletion log, not in the talk page. It was suggested that I move the project to mediawiki. I'm not trying to "pull a fast one" and would appreciate it if you didn't make this a personal attack. Thanks. --Wikitopian 22:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Antifeminism rant
This seems to be discussion from Wikipedia:Talk:Feminism, moved to the Meta-Wiki because it was unwanted there.

- Comment Actually, it is excerpts from the talk page moved to Meta to continue the discussion about what should not be allowed to happen in articles: the over-simplification of an article topic splitting into two opposing views, rather than collaborating to present both views within the article.

- Move and merge - It is probably not original research. It seems to illustrate how scientific research should be implemented, how a research should be done in order to examine or prove the brain's capacity to process images. Some of the skills or methodology like "Perceptual Modeling" is not a new thing (see this and this). However the presentation and the structure makes it look like an essay rather than an encyclopedia. Some contents of this article might be helpful to some topics in Wikipedia but amendments and merges are required. --Wai Wai 10:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Oppose for the former and
Support for the latter (useless snippet from a deletion log)! All those groups, associations, etc. have to be treated under a common criteria.
- I can only say that the userboxes controversy is popping up here and there. At least it got rather inflamatory debate on bg.wp, although not so hot as after Kelly Martin's action. IM(nsh)O the debate has to be brought on Meta, all arguments to be sorted in order to be readable and understandable, and to come out with a recommendation across all WMF-projects (chances for consensus for a policy a negligibly slim). Actually I am not sure whether this avalance can be stopped, it had to be dealt with years before I joined WP. -- Goldie ± (talk) 17:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
