Dana White

Please do not add opinionated commentary and unsourced information in your edits, especially on Dana White. Your constant rewrites of the article, complete with the removal of sources on the page without explanation, is contrary to Wikipedia's neutral point of view and attribution policies, and has been reverted back to its original state. hateless 17:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Doric Greek, Dorian and Sparta

It is *not* a widely held opinion among scholars that the Dorians came from Asia Minor, and you should not alter the above mentioned articles in order to give this impression to the readers. The handbooks claim that Laconia changed its idiom from a si-dialect (South or East Greek) to a ti-dialect (North og West Greek) towards the end of the 2nd mill. BC due to some influx of individuals and groups from the areas north of the Corinthian Gulf. It may be false, but Wikipedia should represent the communis opinio.

If you disagree with this mainstream opinion, it would be more fruitful if you would contribute to the discussion about the Dorian migration (seeDorian). But please, give valid sources. Enkyklios 11:30, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Jorge "Macaco" Patino

A tag has been placed on Jorge "Macaco" Patino requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 13:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
