User talk:Kalliminare: barnstarThankyou very, very much for the barnstar, it is very much appreciated. I'm just glad that I could help. :) — neuro(talk) 23:48, 7 January 2009 (UTC) That's the very least I could do for the help you've given in resolving what was an impossible situation for some users. Thanks again. (Plus, I got to play with how to use Barnstars.) Threshold infoI put some info I dug up at User_talk:Cambios/Threshold. It looks like it will help lend towards notability. Also, with regards to notability, I had a look at how JediMUD listed it and I would suggest a similar format with regards to notability. Ismarc (talk) 05:03, 9 January 2009 (UTC) InterpretationsYou should be aware that some of my interpretations come from being involved in numerous discussions that crop up regarding these policies, guidelines, processes, etc. Its nothing personal against Threshold and I've debated just as zealously about any number of random topics over the years. If I repeatedly see people stating that reference style X is trivial because its too small, or website type Y doesn't convey notability because only 6 people read it, it might not make its way in to the policy (policies and guidelines often change slowly here) but its a pretty clear indication that members of the community who have commented on it feel that way. If you want to get a clearer idea of some of these things I'd recommend dropping in on AfD from time to time (I usually do it in spurts, I'm heavy in Afd for a week or two..then maybe I don't go there for a month and go back, etc) make some contributions to the discussions at RS, and N, as well as the RS/Noticeboard. Its easy to get burnt out on policy discussion, so thats why I tend to do it in spurts instead of all the time.--Crossmr (talk) 05:11, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
WP:NI think most people are interpreting it how they want to for a particular given subject. For example, this [1] is apparently a decent source for the Anthony Watts article? I've tried to get that removed a few times and always got shut down. And that is a WP:BLP which has stricter standards than normal articles. Reaching out beforehand does seem to help, because that way you have a few people hopefully supporting you before the argument starts, although this is a really tedious way to get anything done. --Theblog (talk) 05:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
BarnstarsI'm obsessed. Can you get banned for giving out too many? I'm restraining myself, but I am curious. Kallimina (talk) 09:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC) Just have to note that this feature seems to be one of the coolest things on the editor side of Wikipedia. Kallimina (talk) 09:26, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
CrossmrI'd go easy on crossmr. I don't think he's 'out to get' anyone. I likewise don't think that he fundamentally misses the point of important wikipedia policies. I think that he does this because it is important to stand on the parapets. Take a look at AfD for a few weeks and you'll see the stream of crap that we deal with. Most of the deletions there are uncontroversial, but some are very controversial. The level of controversy surrounding each deletion doesn't correlate with its propriety, so we have to careful in wading into debates or ceding them to the loudest participants. We can agree that the Threshold AfD was a mess (for all concerned). People got banned who shouldn't have been. People lost their tempers. Outside folks tried to take our cheese and we did what most cultures do--got xenophobic. We know who these folks are (Jennings, Bartle, Koster et al.), but most people on wikipedia don't. Threshold is a reasonably obscure game in a reasonably obscure genre. It is not a venial sin to mistake that obscurity for irrelevance. To his credit, I'm surprised that we kept the article. The subject (really) is on the razor's edge of notability--on any given day were we to AfD an article like it (where a blog post, a list entry and a website are the only source), we would get results all along the spectrum. So I can understand his frustration at the outcome. Protonk (talk) 17:17, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
RosMudI think this can be put in there somehow, I am not sure how though! Someone indicated that having a box in a store was a good thing for notability, so having a client designed for Threshold can't hurt. --Theblog (talk) 23:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
RE: Help understanding Notability and VerifiabilitySorry, I couldn't help a month ago. I don't log into Wikipedia often anymore. I've been an editor, as well as a business executive, long enough to know when organizations have all but fallen apart. Adraeus (talk) 10:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC) Proposal for new Manual of Style for Thailand-related articlesA drafted new version of the Manual of Style for Thailand-related articles has been started here. Still at issue are specific naming conventions for Thai royals and nobles and settlements. As a member of WikiProject Thailand, you are welcome to contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thailand#Updating the Manual of Style (part 2). Paul_012 (talk) 18:29, 10 February 2009 (UTC) Page decorationsKalima, I saw that you were looking to change your page configuration. Take a look at mine and see if you like it. If so, feel free to just copy the code (obviously, change the tab titles :) ) if you want! KoshVorlonNaluboutes,Aeria Gloris 20:42, 25 March 2010 (UTC) Thank you for the offer!Kallimina (talk) 15:16, 10 August 2010 (UTC) Asian 10,000 Challenge inviteHi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:57, 20 October 2016 (UTC) Nomination of Threshold (video game) for deletionA discussion is taking place as to whether the article Threshold (video game), to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.
