Exercise Robin Sage listing at ARS

edit

Hello Fosnez. The listing at Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Examples is becoming more useful as further examples are added. The only item whose entry I think could be improved is the one for Exercise Robin Sage. I know nothing about this article, but observe that Prime Example of an article that should never have been put through an AfD is not a neutral comment. (There is no rule calling for neutrality; this one just stands out from the rest, since everything else on that page is neutral). Is it possible that the Robin Sage comment could be replaced with a line that is merely informative? EdJohnston (talk) 16:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Greetings, I have updated the comment to put a little more context. Feel free to edit it how you please :-) Fosnez (talk) 01:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your reply. I think the entry looks better now. Regarding the table as a whole, I see that some items are included there which never had the {{rescue}} template put on them, for example the first two in the list: Action Medical Research and Aldermaston Soke. Was that your intention? EdJohnston (talk) 14:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC).Reply
To clarify, this is not a complaint! I just wondered if guidance might be given as to the sorts of new issues that qualify for adding to the list. I rescue a few things here and there that seem headed for a bad end but don't usually make a list. What types of case should people be watching out for, for future list additions?

I actually only discovered that some of the items on that list had never had the rescue tag used on them when I went to add the tagger. I think as we add more items to the list that have been tagged, we should start removing the ones without tag usage. The mainreason why I wouldn't want to remove them just yet is it would looke even more-so that I am the only one using the tag, which i know is not the case, but because other people havn't been adding their items to the list I can't find out what they were. Be bold, add what you want to the list and we can discuss it further :-) - Fosnez (talk) 20:16, 12 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Respectfully disagree but I think I have a solution that may work for all. Firstly rescuing articles isn't a new concept simply one that we've formalized; many articles have been rescued prior to this project's existence. OK, so now a potential solution. I hope to convert the table to a sortable one and a column can be devoted, as in now done, to those who tagged, for ones prior to ARS or weren't tagged we simply put "n/a" (not applicable). In this way we acknowledge the work we've done as well as the spirit of rescuing which is what we hope to foster. Banjeboi 20:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Convert to sortable table proposal

edit

I'm looking to convert this to a sortable table, if anyone is opposed to this please let me know so we can discuss what might work best. Banjeboi 09:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
