Taxi Dancers of Ceroc Might Do Well With a New Sub-Section
I have seen your interest in the Taxi Dancer article, specifically to Ceroc dancing. In what country have you observed Ceroc? If you look at the Taxi Dancer article you'll notice that I have created some sub-subsections under the subsection Taxi Dancers Today heading, which include Argentina, United States, and also plan to add one for Mexico as well. If you are familiar with Ceroc in another country, do you think that you might like to create a sub-subsections for that country (any length to start) and use you knowledge for its content? Only a suggestion.James Carroll (talk) 17:03, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi. You sent me what appears to be a template-generated message regarding the Mildred Roper article. However, while I created the page in question, I did not create the article -- if you take a look at the edit logs, I created it as a redirect to the George and Mildred article. -- The Anome (talk) 09:52, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Unreferenced tag
Happy new year to you. Regarding this edit, I believe that "3 NZBLC 102,000" constitutes a legal citation. A separate issue is that User:Kiwisheriff appears to know their way around the legal system. So this is thus a courtesy note that I have removed both tags. Schwede66 05:59, 12 January 2014 (UTC) thanks for that... it was the correct legal citation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiwisheriff (talk • contribs) 10:56, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- I know little to nothing about the law or legal citations, but we have the apparently excellent Template:Cite court, which would be how the "correct legal citation" would be formatted on wikipedia. I'm also not sure who a citation such as this can be used to support the claim that it's 'widely cited', but that's another question. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:31, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of events named pogrom
Stuart, since you are an outsider to the above debate (as opposed to many other editors there), your perspective is very valuable.
You are the only "outsider" editor to view the article as "Pointy" and a "Fork".
Could you kindly explain either here or on the AfD what you think the "point" is and how it is a fork? I am the creator of this and have been racking my brains as to what the "point" that the nom sees in this actually is, so an outside view would be really good.

- AfD discussion should be conducted at the AfD, not here. I have it on my watchlist. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:02, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Ok thank you. I posted there. Oncenawhile (talk) 09:54, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying there. It shows just how complex this question is, as your rationale was not what I expected at all (although I'm not sure what I expected). The way you described the word is exactly the kind of thing that the AFD nominator has been blocking at Talk:Pogrom for more than a year, and is one of the topics covered (and well sourced) at [1] - a previous article that I began and the current nom fought successfully to delete. So your interpretation of "point" here is definitely not the nom's view (although I still don't know what that is).... Anyway, i'll respond properly at the AFD.
