Dunnet edit

Hello,

I would like to discuss your deletion of the "official page" of Dunnet. Your comment was that it is "not" an official page. On what do you base this opinion? This page was added after considerable debate on whether or not Dunnet is WP:NOTABLE (which it was determined it was). One of the people heavily involved in the debate decided that this was indeed an official page. I am the author of Dunnet, and maintain the page. I do not edit the Dunnet Wikipedia page, due to WP:COI. However, I had assumed your edit was vandalism.

Thanks, Ron Ron Schnell 00:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ron,

first of all, thanks for Dunnet!

a website is characterized by a domain name. The website you linked is www.driver-aces.com. It doesn't meet the requirements specified in WP:EXT in so far as it doesn't deal with the article topic. The specific link isn't even the website, but a path containing a URI fragment linking to two questions as part of an "interview" you did with yourself, and those two questions on a subpage of a website are not what we want in the "External links" section.

If you're asking me: Dunnet deserves an official website. Dunnet.org is free, for example. Also, nobody would object against e.g. RonSchnell.com/dunnet being listed under "external links".

Thanks for the response. So you're saying that the form of the URL has some relevance as to whether or not it is acceptable? That is surprising to me. Why is "RonSchnell.com"

okay, while "driver-aces.com" is not? They are really the same, as far as I'm concerned. Having said that, I have no problem registering a new domain just for the

purposes of conforming. Would you have an issue if it redirected to the same place? Considering this website has been around as somewhere people go to fing out

about Dunnet for almost 30 years, it wouldn't make sense to me to change it now. Ron Schnell 04:22, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ron Schnell,

sorry for getting back to you so late, I had a bit too much on my desk.

To show a positive example of what's meant in WP:EXT: Thaumistry: In Charm's Way, a modern text adventure. That one has an official website: www.thaumistry.com. A URL dedicated to the lemma, and its content is about the lemma only. Is the difference between that site and "http://www.driver-aces.com/ronnie.html#dunnet" graspable?

Kind regards, Grueslayer 05:48, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Grueslayer,

No worries. We all get busy. Obviously I know the difference between the two URLs. I think I made that clear. I even said I have no problem registering a domain name to accommodate your feelings on the subject, although I disagree. Dunnet is obviously not a *modern* text adventure!

In any case, what I asked in the previous message is whether you would be okay if the new domain redirected to the existing page, to accommodate the 30+ years of search engine rankings, etc.

Thanks! Ron Schnell 06:22, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you afraid for independent sources? I know that related sources are permitted by the WikiProject (against WP:RS) but there is nothing illegal about asking for better sources then allowed! The Banner talk 15:20, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A typical wording for "asking for better sources" would be something like "If available, please use up-to-date secondary sources", NOT "use only independent sources". Also, we do not provide research instructions in the article source code. If you feel that this specific article needs a specific research approach different from that of all other articles, please use the talk page.

Ow, now you are coming with threats? I am shaking in my boots... (not so much in fact). But filing a case may be backfiring. The Banner talk 12:03, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

presentation college chaguanas

Hi, New to this wiki edits. I am part of the alumni for Pres Chag. I now realised that you asked the relevance. They asked me to update the page and put some content. I thought the Scholarship list would be good content. Also our motto is wrong. I believe the catergories are relevant. Let me know. First time im using wiki as an editor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctorkamta (talk • contribs) 15:13, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doctorkamta,

none of the scholarship winners listed is eligible for an own article so a list of scholarship winners is not notable. If any scholarship winner is notable the list should consist of the notoable persons only.

What would help the article is more details in the history section and historical photos. Please not that all information (but trivial one) must come with reliable sources. That can be newspaper articles so if you have the possibility to deep-dive into the archives of the Express, Guardian or Newsday that could help a LOT. If you need help with anything, let me know. Also I have a little bit of literature gathering dust here so if you think any of that could help, let me know.

Kind regards, Grueslayer 21:47, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
