I was unable to find significant sources of information about this movement(?), hence the PROD. However, I have been advising the creator of the page (Musicaloyster - talk) and they have found some sources of information - but I do not know the subject of politics well enough to be able to judge if they are any good as references for Wikipedia - and just as importantly, I wouldn't know where to look for more sources. Could anyone from this Project possibly have a look at the article/references and see if they can find suitable references/expand the article? The prod expires 2009-09-10 08:16.

Gracias. APK is a GLEEk 00:57, 15 September 2009 (UTC) [edit] Mark Lloyd FCC diversity/censorship chief is protected stubAttempts to add a controversy section have led to the protection of the Mark Lloyd page, and the scrubbing of any information outside that available on the FCC biography. It's completely blocked from editing, not just from new users. Any thoughts on whether this should be added as a page that needs additional work and inclusion under this project? How would that be done? Lloyd has been quoted on video as approving of Hugo Chavez "incredible, democratic revolution", and pundits have note that Chavez has taken a novel approach to the press, namely shutting down radio stations and pressing for the creation of a "media crimes law". This topic has been covered largely in the conservative press, and in the writings Lloyd in a scholarly book, but admins in charge say that it is a violation of BLP to use Glenn Beck or even opposing liberal bloggers to document the existence of any controversy, even though NPOV says that all significant points of view should be reflected in the article. Even quoting from a book passage Lloyd wrote is disallowed. Some editors have left comments complaining this amounts to censorship since any websearch of "Mark Lloyd" and "Hugo Chavez" turns up a zillion hits. This whole idea of an admin telling people "if you even think of adding something you first heard about on Beck or Limbaugh, you can expect to be blocked", while wholesale deletion of referenced edits with the explanation "removing vandalism" is overlooked, is that becoming a problem? Thoughts? Bachcell (talk) 16:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC) [edit] Discussion input requestedYour input is requested at a discussion here.

Drop by the talk page if you're interested. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 04:25, 26 September 2009 (UTC) [edit] Why are infoboxes used at all?They are cheesy. They are not useful. They make WP look schlocky. A properly-written article will include sufficient links that an interested individual can find further information with a simple click out of the text. The most obnoxious examples of pointless infoboxes are THIRD CAMP and TROTSKYISM and DELEONISM, which are quite simply advertisements for political movements, as nearly as I can tell. Others like SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, and FASCISM touch microscopic portions of the whole and add nothing of value. These things are very annoying and if people are obsessed with their continuation, they should be reworked as less intrusive footers, to my way of thinking.

I am attempting to restart the article in a scholarly/wikipedian way in Talk:World domination/New text. Please help. Since the term is widely used and quite wikilinked in wikipedia, we have to have here something serious, otherwise there will be an endless struggle with well-meaning but hopeless essayists. - Altenmann >t 16:44, 15 October 2009 (UTC) [edit] Article ideaLike Media bias, there are multiple webpages dedicated to the idea of bias (whether liberal or conservative) in academia. Being that as it may, I understand it would be a controversial article to write, however, is it not notable enough to have its own article? Ask this here because I would imagine it falls into the scope of this wikiproject, and not the ones that I am a part of. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 09:05, 16 October 2009 (UTC) [edit] Relevant AfDPlease see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/101 People Who Are Really Screwing America. Cirt (talk) 06:37, 18 October 2009 (UTC) [edit] Fringe theory promotion at Human rightsA number of Iranian editors are attempting to add poorly sourced or unsourced claims to Human rights concerning a 6th century BC artifact, the Cyrus cylinder. They claim that it is supposedly the world's first charter of human rights, and that the Persian emperor Cyrus the Great effectively originated the concept of human rights. (To summarize, this is a fringe theory promoted by the late Shah of Iran in the 1970s as part of his regime's propaganda and has subsequently been promoted by Iranian ultranationalists, particularly in the pro-Shah diaspora. Mainstream historians reject this viewpoint as tendentious and anachronistic.) This has previously been discussed on the fringe theories noticeboard on two previous occasions. It's now being discussed at Talk:Human rights#Religious tolerance and Achaemenids. Human rights is listed as a high-importance article for this WikiProject so some input from outside editors would be appreciated. -- ChrisO (talk) 19:21, 19 October 2009 (UTC) [edit] GA Sweeps Reassessment of Ollanta HumalaOllanta Humala has been nominated for a good article reassessment.

Please take a look. @harej 04:24, 4 December 2009 (UTC) [edit] Book-classSince several couple of Wikipedia-Books are politics-related, could this project adopt the book-class? This would really help WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as the WP Politics people can oversee books like Political science and Confederate government of Kentucky much better than we could as far as merging, deletion, content, and such are concerned. Eventually there probably will be a "Books for discussion" process, so that would be incorporated in the Article Alerts. There's an article in last week's Signpost if you aren't familiar with Wikipedia-Books and classes in general. If you have any questions just ask. Thanks.

[edit] Denoting militancy vs nonviolence in Political Party infoboxJust wondering if people are for the inclusion of a party's stance on force as a means of promoting their ideology in the Political party infobox. By this I mean I'm interested in seeing the Political party infobox describing in a few words whether the party permits the use of violent means as an expression of their ideology. Forgive me if this is the wrong section. BabyJonas (talk) 10:36, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
