The DHARMA Initiative Split vote[edit]
I hope you don't mind a general reply to what most if not all of those opposed to the split on The DHARMA Initiative have said "we don't really have enough information on just the stations to justify an entire article just for the stations." I would like to point out that it is exactly the opposite, there is very little information about "The DHARMA Initiative" since everything seams to be about the stations. I decided that I'd see exactly how much of the article actually talked about the Initiative compared to the Stations. So I grabbed the sections that talk specifically about those subjects and I used the word counter found inside of MS Word to judge the content. Here is what I found:
- Initiative focus on the page : These sections were the "intro" "History and purpose" & "Dr. Marvin Candle"
- Pages - 1
- Words - 242
- Characters (no spaces) - 1,309
- Characters (with spaces) - 1,544
- Paragraphs - 7
- Lines - 23
- Stations focus on the page : Everything not in the Initiative focus, except for "Trivia" "References" & "External links" were included in the Stations.
- Pages - 4
- Words - 1,476
- Characters (no spaces) - 7,143
- Characters (with spaces) - 8,574
- Paragraphs - 46
- Lines - 132
The judgment that this page doesn't have a lot of info about the stations seams to be incorrect... the problem is that going by word count only (and almost exactly) 1/7th of the page actually talks about the Initiative while the rest of that 6/7th talks about the stations... This page is heavily focused on the stations and it should be acknowledged as such. So we have a choice to create a new article about the stations or re-name this article to reflect its focus!
I hope that this helps and Please put your reply in the comments section of the Initiative talk page. -- UKPhoenix79 02:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Quoting Wikipedia:Fair use criteria "Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are often enough not covered under the fair use doctrine." In other words, the use of fair use images in user space does, according to the Wikimedia Foundation, frequently violate fair use law. I've reverted your changes to User:Durin/Removal of fair use images based on this. Thanks, --Durin 13:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
We are having a bit of a discussion about a possible name change of the Solar tower, see Proposal to make Solar tower a disambiguation page. Your input would be appreciated. JdH 17:24, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Energy tower (downdraft), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
