Talk: Re:Jacob Black

Thanks! I try. :) Any suggestions for the page? I'm trying to check up on it often, cuz alot of kiddies (i.e. overexcited 13 to 14-year-old girls) come on here and start typing unnecessary stuff in... Amalik914 (talk) 03:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, some out-of-universe information would be good. But like you said, there aren't many reliable sources out there (apart from Meyer herself), even though Jacob IS in fact a main character- he narrates more than one-fourth of Book 4, and he plays a pretty big part in Book 3 as well (go check them out!). And yes, it would also be good to add some of Taylor Lautner's comments on the character; I'll try to look up some interviews/videos, but I don't think he's said much about it yet. The focus is mainly on Bella and Edward, so unfortunately most critics don't spend too much time talking about Jacob. However, I do know for a fact that Meyer wrote this long description of Jacob's experiences in Book 1 and 2 (stuff that he doesn't get to talk about himself in the novels), and she's had it up on her official website for a while- think maybe we could include a few minor details from that?

It's just that some editors are debating on merging the Twilight characters' pages- other than Bella and Edward's- together and shortening them, and Jacob's page was mentioned. Also, someone complained that his page is too detailed and should contain summaries instead. I'm worried about adding too much stuff, especially if someone's just going to edit it out later on and make his page shorter. Amalik914 (talk) 06:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Movingboxes you seem to be making notations on a political page. Are the notations based on the inaccuracy of content or on a dislike for the political affiliations in the postings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.110.253 (talk) 23:39, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since you didn't indicate which article you're talking about--and I've made a few dozen edits today--I'll just have to guess to which article you're referring. Since editing on Wikipedia, I've been accused of being a Scientology apologist, a homophobe, and now, against whatever it is you are. The content isn't necessarily inaccurate (although it certainly seems tainted by POV and a disregard for the processes of the encyclopedia). What I dislike is people using the encyclopedia to promote their own interests, whether those interests be Republican, Communist, Nazi, Green Party, Tory . . . or their own political consulting business.

The point? How many of these articles were created by the subjects? Also, please sign your comments--it makes it easier to keep track of discussions. You can sign by using four tildes at the end of your comment (one of these "~"). Movingboxes (talk) 23:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well that was pretty quick. Do you think you could give me more time to work on the article before you question the notability of the subject? He is the starting tailback for a major Division I football program. Thanks. Dincher (talk) 15:35, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. It's just that I was sitting here and working on it, I don't even think it's a half hour old yet. Thanks for the prompt reply too. Dincher (talk)`

Andre Migner dit Lagace notability

Why have you questioned the notability of this article? As far as I can tell, this man was the ancestor of many people still alive today. I believe his progeny make him notable. --Auric (talk) 15:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I indicated this with the sentence "They had six children, all of whom married and produced offspring. The first and last were male. His first son sired 13 children, his second son ten." A person having all children survive to adulthood at the time was relatively rare, I believe. So too is a person having ten or more children by one wife. While his indirect descendants outnumber his direct descendants, the number is still a large one. This all makes him notable, as it increases the chance that a descendant is also notable. --Auric (talk) 16:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MovingBoxes

Question, I would like for you to examine most of the Quarterbacks in college football. You recently deleted Brett Salisbury who was a quarterback at the University of Oregon. If Salisbury was/is to be deleted how in the world is Brady Leaf continue to be a notable person on wikipedia?

Deletion of MyStrength Campaign

So, since no one else has created a wiki page about the program in the three years of its operation, I suppose then it makes more sense to not have a wiki page about it at all versus having one created by someone who is actually associated with the program? Yeah... that makes no sense at all. I guess we will have to get along without a Wikipedia page anyway.
