{{closed|1=Deleted per author's request|text=
A bunch of rambling personal essays on Wikipedia policy that seem irrelevant to Meta. Many of them seem to actually be copy-and-pasted from en.Wikipedia without even fulfilling the GFDL. [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 11:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
:{{Comment}} I already wondered what stuff that is... But if they are essays copied from enwp one could easily import the history, right? Maybe they should rather be deleted on enwp and stored on Meta? --[[User:Thogo|Thogo]] <small>([[User talk:Thogo|talk]])</small> 11:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
::I just noticed that this user was recently banned on Wikipedia, which would explain him moving everything here. I don't really see anything valuable in them. It just looks like more clutter to me, and someone had way too much time on their hands and decided to write essays instead of contributing content to a project. [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 12:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
:{{comment}} Without giving any opinion on the whole set of pages, nor on the user, I think pages such as [[Zen guide]] belong to meta, or at least used to belong there (though maybe not in the main namespace). There is a lot of such (humorous) essays in [[:Category:Essays]], which now states "Meta-Wiki started out as a place where many people described their thoughts about Wikipedia and other topics. [...] As of 2006, there is some disagreement about whether new essays, particularly personal essays, should be added to Meta anywhere but in user space." [[user:guillom|guillom]] 12:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 
Dmcdevit, I'd appreciate it if you could've brought your concerns to me directly. Also, I've been blocked for a week, not banned. You also may be interested to take a look at the diff used as an example of "trolling." [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=190817503&oldid=190801465]
 
I came here because I thought there was a bit more openness and intellectual freedom here, and a bit more tolerance for people with a [[w:deletionism|deletionist]] philosophy. I think that there are substantial problems with Wikipedia (see my contributions to [[w:WP:FAIL|WP:FAIL]]) and actually trying to edit Wikipedia has been fairly frustrating and literally "impossible" in the full sense of the word. I'm continually accused of bad faith and so on, and diligent attempts at clarifying that's not the case always fail. So, in order to avoid being perma-banned, I'm currently on a "vow of silence" with the Wikipedia community, for my own account's sake, as they don't seem to follow anything I say and I'd have to actually give up the whole idea of "improving Wikipedia" in order to maintain any kind of sanity.
 
My only goal now is to:
*Finish a collection of essays on policy and Wikipedia philosophy (there's tons of such essays all across meta)
*Contribute to [[w:Veropedia|Veropedia]] when I get back from the block.
 
Please, at least let me do that.
 
Calling them "a bunch of rambling personal essays" is insulting. They're copied from Wikipedia, but ''I wrote them.'' They are mine legally, so I can release them under the GFDL to Wikipedia, then release them under the GFDL to Meta, then release them to whoever else I want under whatever license I want.
 
I don't have a problem with deleting them from enwp if you want or importing the edit history, or what-have-you. [[User:Zenwhat|Zenwhat]] 12:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 
*'''Delete''' - Meta is a great place for essays and I have also tagged essays before which looked really stupid and well these are examples of those, I should have deleted the first one he created when he was blocked on enwiki but it seems all his essays are just Personal attacks on people on wikipedia and its founder and thats why I believe these essays are not suited for Meta...--<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-size:medium;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">[[User:Cometstyles|Comet]][[User talk:Cometstyles|styles]]</span> 12:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 
*Having read through most of these pages I agree with Dmcdevit that these pages are not worth keeping. They aren't funny nor useful. --> Delete. --[[User:Thogo|Thogo]] <small>([[User talk:Thogo|talk]])</small> 12:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 
Forget it. I'm deleting them myself. [[User:Kim Bruning]] has offered to give me webpspace. I'll publish them there.
 
I mean, frankly, this is ridiculous. How are you going to call [[Assume nothing]] a "personal essay"? [[User:Zenwhat|Zenwhat]] 12:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

===[[Google searches that Wikimedia pages rank first on]]===
{{closed|text=This page is not being used for anything in particular, as far as I can see, and, given the number of Wikimedia projects, is likely impossible to maintain. In fact, the last time it was updated was all the way in July last year.

===[[:Category:Users who are active on all Wikimedia wikis|Users who are active on all Wikimedia wikis]]===
This category categorizes users who have accounts on all Wikimedia wikis, regardless of activity there. This is highly inaccurate— many wikis are locked and do not allow new accounts, many others are internal, and new wikis are created every few months so that users on this list quickly fall out of date. Furthermore, this seems to be primarily a vanity category and serves no collaborative or community purpose that I can see. —<small>{[[Meta:Admins|admin]]} [[User talk:Pathoschild/s|Pathoschild]] 00:02:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)</small>

Totally unneeded to do this with png, it can be done with text, see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=WfSpecialNewImages&diff=870386&oldid=427064 this for example] (I am sure someone can do it even nicer), besides I can't even read the text on the images, best regards, --[[User:Spacebirdy|birdy <small>geimfyglið</small>]] [[User_talk:Spacebirdy|<sub>(:>&nbsp;)=|</sub>]] [[commons:User:Spacebirdy/Myndir|<small>∇</small>]] 22:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

* '''PLEASE DO NOT DELETE!!!!''' --- And the CSS version takes like 10x the text in a page to place... when the use of a SINGLE 10 character reference makes WAY more sense. Besides, the type u have in YOUR error, has no negative space above the type and does NOT fit on a line w/ type w/o screwing up the leading... [[:Image:SampleProblem.png|Example Image that SHOULD be deleted eventually!]] I also would like to USE these images in a lot of my own pages/revisions... and wish they NOT be deleted. --- [[User:Dsgncr8or|Dsgncr8or]] 14:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per Thogo and Pathoschild. I would argue Meta has no consensus to accept CC licensed material, too (we are under GFDL). And generally, if you release something under free license(s), meta is not the best destination. --[[User:Aphaia|Aphaia]] 07:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

It was deleted without a clear reason, so I have doubts that its deletion was proper.--[[User:Jusjih|Jusjih]] 04:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 
*Keep deleted. Judging by the attitude over images without licenses, I doubt this is needed. '''[[User:Majorly|<span style="color:#002bb8">Majorly</span>]]''' (''[[User talk:Majorly|talk]]'') 12:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
*{{comment}} It was a long time ago! We do have "no source" which appears to have been the rationale but I have no problem with it being undeleted if people think that is required - thanks --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 12:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
*'''Undelete''' - We have {{tl|no source}} as noted in the deletion log but I'd suggest that an alternative is provided for instances where the source but not the license is providing to avoid confusion. [[User:Adambro|Adambro]] 12:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
*'''Undelete''' - No source and no license are completely different and both temps actually complement each other, so It would be a good idea to restore it :) ..--<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-size:medium;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">[[User:Cometstyles|Comet]][[User talk:Cometstyles|styles]]</span> 21:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

**Purely technical question: after merger of "request for undeletion", our deletion policy says something about discussion terms? Before that, we were very relaxed to undelete thing, someone says he or she needs it, then it would be undeleted unless there is a strong argument, regardless with the term of discussion. So I prefer to undelete it for now, but hesitate at the same time. --[[User:Aphaia|Aphaia]] 05:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
*'''Undelete''' - per all above. There's a difference between not having a license, and not having a source, so we should have separate templates. [[User:Giggy|Giggy]]\<sup>[[User talk:Giggy|Talk]]</sup> 05:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
*'''Undelete''' makes sense to me... --<strong>[[user:Anonymous Dissident|<font face="Script MT Bold"><font color="DodgerBlue">Anonymous Dissident</font></font>]]</strong>[[user talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 12:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
*I've got to agree with Giggy that there's a difference between ''no license'' and ''no source'', and we shouldn't cloud that difference. Worst case scenario, however, we could redirect [[:Template:No license]] to [[:Template:Nosource]] and make the ''no source'' template contain information about both problems. Or just have [[:Template:Image problem]] and redirect them both.

'''closed as undeleted.''' As I cannot really see my rationale for deleting this it seems silly to waste community time on this. If asked I'd have undeleted it anyway - it can always but offered for deletion again if folk want to -- [[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 08:34, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
