Revision as of 20:36, 19 July 2006
- Detective Inspector Rebus - extremely notable fictional Scottish detective. His web presence is sparse, hence my interest in this article.
Articles which need a lot of work:
- List of publications in sociology - ragged, half-empty list of sociology books. The consensus is keep lists like this, but this article desperately needs attention. It seems to attract anons who might just be plugging their books.
- Soft Power - poorly formatted, flabby article with quotes making up a quarter of its text. Needs structure and clarity.
Articles I'm thinking about nominating for deletion:
- Badass - see for yourself. Might be advertising, as well.
- Drop dead - do we really need an article for this?
- Fastway (Couriers) - advertising.
I dislike:
- Weasel words - the bane of Wikipedia
- Overuse of quotes - don't plagiarise, summarise
- People using Wikipedia to promote their own neologisms.
