[edit] Articles for deletion nomination of List of educators

I have nominated List of educators, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of educators (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. —Ruud 18:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Another type of OOK!

I've been going over your outline additions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outline of knowledge/Drafts/Outline

While googling like mad to catch up to you, I came across another example of an "outline of knowledge"

The term "outline of knowledge" is in use all over the place. But I haven't yet found a dictionary or encyclopedia entry for it yet. If there is one, I'll find it.

I also ran across the term "Universal Outline", but haven't been able to ascertain exactly what that is yet.

By the way, your outline goes deeper than MediaWiki's heading levels! MW only goes up to six. It will take nine to accomodate yours. Any thoughts?

All I really was trying to do was organize some background ideas, not necessarily ID section headings. I'm sure many of the ideas simply could suggest paragraph topic suggestions and sequences.

My biggest concern about the OOK project is that it has a clear preference for a taxonomic (parent-child hierarchical) organizational structure. That is what the Library of Congress/Dewey Decimal/Propedia systems use. The academic disciplines example you found is another taxonomy. In actuality, Wikipedia is organized using the multi-dimensional, faceted style of classification. Personally, I'm just not all that interested in promoting a system that doesn't reflect what's really going on. RichardF (talk) 19:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
