Template:Vfdsock[edit]

A clear violation of WP:BITE. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 22:23, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arguable. It is quite needed for when AfD discussions about a website are linked from that website and we start getting dozens of people coming in and voting "DO NOT DELETE" or the like. Keep for the moment. I can be persuaded to change if someone comes up with a better version. Stifle 22:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed (with Stifle), however it may need to be renamed to afdsock. Here is a reason to keep. Would not hurt my feelings if it was reworded though. Jwestbrook 23:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but reword in friendlier fashion; such TLs are occasionally useful on AFD. Come to think of it, this is probably redundant with a similar template, but I don't recall the name. Radiant_>|< 23:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You mean ((afd-newbies))? Pilatus 00:59, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - And also ((AfdAnons)). BTW, I've seen both Vfdsock and Afd-newbies on the same AFD page - twice today. This contributes to an atmosphere in which newbies are likely to be bitten. In particular, I think that some of the treatment of new users on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black Bayou crosses this line. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 02:16, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Okay, that's admittedly overkill. Merge the three templates (or pick the most suitable and redirect the other two there) and reword to a non-biting version.

Template:Background[edit]

Disambig-style statement that doens't actually disambiguate. The template does what the introductory text should do. What horrible writing style Raul654 20:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this should not be used. For more background on any article, see the article itself, that's what it's there for. R adiant _>|< 23:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There is some confusion above about what this template is supposed to be used for. It seems to be an alternative to Template:Main when writing in Wikipedia:Summary style. There is no need for two templates to achieve the pointer to the main article from the child article, however, so whichever one is better should be kept and the other redirected. Jkelly 23:23, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The above comment has it backward, it's the opposite counterpart to Main when in Summary style, used when a series of related articles has a common background. Main is more like ((Details)) in Summary style. Main is supposed to be a "sideways" link where the main article of the same level is located elsewhere. Anyway, not enough folks use (or even know about) Summary style, and not enough folks even use Main (too many roll their own). Heavy sigh. --William Allen Simpson 02:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- In other word, people don't/can't write proper encyclopedia entries, so we should let this continue to exist to condone their bad writing? Sorry, but I don't think that logic holds water. Raul654 04:15, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- On the contrary, we should keep it for those who do/can write proper entries, despite the vast majority with "bad writing" that fail to follow explicit style guidelines. --William Allen Simpson 08:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think you miss the point that the people who follow the guidelines shouldn't be using this template, because any such relavant links should be mentioned in the text itself. Raul654 15:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Speedy Keep — Only racists want this deleted.

Lie: "The image used of Malcom X is fair use."

Truth: → It's a public domain image, not fair use. Like the description of the image plainly says and has always said.

Lie: "Malcom X was a racist"

Truth: → Quote from him: "I am not a racist. I am against every form of racism and segregation, every form of discrimination. I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color." It is true that he did say a lot of racist things towards white people early in his life (example, "Thoughtful white people know they are inferior to black people") however he changed a lot in his later life after leaving the racist organization Nation of Islam, who later assassinated him for rejecting their mixture of religion and extreme bigotry.

I hope people read this and understand before writing Malcom X off as a "racist" and replacing the template with the Martin Luther King one. He did a lot of good things in combating racism and Martin Luther King actually said one of his inspirations was Malcom X. No merge, no delete, keep. Read the Malcom X article if you want confirmation of what I say here. --Mistress Selina Kyle ^{(Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉)} 12:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User true antiracist[edit]

The drift I get is that we are going to sterilize User Talkpages of anything other than "I support", "I consume", or "I like" messages in userboxes. So I say no one should be able to state their non-support, or opposition to(!) anything. Somebody's feelings might get hurt, and we would never want anything to cramp the rights of people who use English Wikipedia not to have to think or question themselves. And good Lord in Heaven forbid, that anyone use of the image of either one of these unrepentant lawbreakers - it might make them inclined to violate policy! --Daniel 03:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep both, WP:POINT. However, switch the MLK image (and possibly the Malcolm X one) for a non-Fair Use one. Additionally, recommend moving Template:User true antiracist to Template:User antiracist2, as its current title makes it sound like (and it probably is) an unnecessary jab at people who prefer to use the more militant first template. -Silence 03:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. This nomination is a WP:POINT. I also recommend merging with template:user antiracist with the use of a (non-fair use) MLK image rather than Malcolm X, though such recommendations aren't really the point of the TfD page. - Cuivienen 04:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep for both anti-racist templates. I see no reason for them to be deleted. Athf1234 04:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete: WP:POINT doesn't apply. I've changed my mind - it's part of the beauty of having one and the freedom to express what's on it. So since we are getting rid of inflammatory userboxes, we may as well get the ones that offend a good number of English-speaking Wikipedia users out of the way. --Daniel 04:27, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sarcastic delete'. "Anti-racist" could be interpreted as a personal attack against racist people. — Phil Welch Are you a fan of the band Rush? 07:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ACtually, that's not a bad point. It's also disingenuous to have the templates named "antiracist" when the content of the template makes it clear that the user is opposed to racism, not just to all people who happen to be racist. So, in addition to my above recommendation that the caustic and pointed name "true antiracist" be moved to "antiracist2", I now feel that the two templates should be named: (1) antiracism, and (2) antiracism2. By the way, I also happen to feel that these are some remarkably silly templates (what's next, anti-rape templates? anti-genocide? anti-suffering? anti-ignorance? oy.), but then again, lots of our userboxes are, and they still get used, so I see no problem with bringing these ones up to snuff for those people who do want to use them, for one reason or another. -Silence 07:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It's silly to think that there are racists on Wikipedia. It's so uncivil to say such a thing like they need to be opposed! --Daniel 15:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, such masterful Ciceronian persuasion as in the edit you quote necessitates fierce resistance indeed. EldKatt (Talk) 15:45, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep, and then Name Change -- leave out the 'true' in 'true antiracist'. I suggest to leave the other antiracist template with the same name, and rename the 'true antiracist' into 'antiracist MLKing' because: (1) it has to be renamed anyway, (2) it has less users using it. -- ActiveSelective 10:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ActiveSelective adds: No Merge with the MX template. Both MX and MLK were against racism, but their backgrounds and antiracist tactics and strategy were different, as well as some other world views. It is perfectly fine for people to use both userboxes!

Keep but is there a way to better the colours/layout, my eyes hurt now. --Alf ^melmac 23:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep and rename. You are insulting all those Vandals by associating them with a unworthy university that isn't about blood, gore, and sacking cities. (j/k). Not a fan of userboxes however. Elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (Be eudaimonic!) 03:59, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per Nohat. --Aaron 17:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per MONGO. However, can we delete MONGO? :p In seriousness, though, I find it highly ironic that a member of Esperanza is out to dismantle the community aspects of Wikipedia. It's really quite strange. Rogue 9 20:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Poor attempt at humor and we don't need a userbox for every university on the planet.
