-== [[Barry Farber]] article ==
-The first paragraph is fine, but I noticed that the last 6 paragraphs of the [[Barry Farber]] article are '''identical''' to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Farber Wikipedia] article of the same name, as of June 3, 2010. I'm currently busy with meetings and won't have time to research any changes for almost a week, but I wanted to bring it to your attention since it is a ''verbatim copy of the article text from Wikipedia'', and I believe this sort of behavior should be avoided. If you're the user at Wikipedia who wrote that article, I apologize for the inconvenience, but please state so on the talk page. In Christ, [[User:Tzoran|Tyler Zoran]] <sup>[[User talk:Tzoran|Talk]]</sup> 07:28, 4 June 2010 (EDT)

-:I think you should examine the text in greater detail, Tyler. There are only so many ways to say the same thing, and occasional duplication of phrases can occur, but I don't see they are identical.  In any event, something like this should be handled discretely, rather than posted publicly as you did. Your doing so makes me suspect your judgment and goodwill. Dr. Jensen should know a thing or two about writing, and his statement stands as a good hallmark. --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big><sub>/Admin</sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 08:11, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
-::TK is right.  Tzoran, you should realize that articles here are a work in progress.  When an article is created, it is important that it is presentable.  I draw from numerous sources, some of which may draw from Wikipedia.  If you ever have a problem with an article, fix it yourself - complaining loudly until other people do your work for you is not an admirable trait.

-== Delete article ==
-When you get a second, think you can delete [[State sovereignty, national union‎]]? I put a merge template up, but there really isn't much information to merge ... -- [[User:JLauttamus|Jeff W. Lauttamus]][[User_talk:JLauttamus|<sub>Discussion</sub>]] 20:17, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
-:Thanks for the heads up, JLatt, I'll take a look. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]]<sub>[[User talk:JacobB|Shout out!]]</sub> 20:18, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
-::That was a good call.  We're not big fans of uninformative stub articles. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]]<sub>[[User talk:JacobB|Shout out!]]</sub> 20:19, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
-:::Yeah, I try and throw a '''<nowiki>{{speedy}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki>''' up anytime I see them. Most of them were created by parodists or trolls, anyways. -- [[User:JLauttamus|Jeff W. Lauttamus]][[User_talk:JLauttamus|<sub>Discussion</sub>]] 20:23, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
-::::Thanks.  But just be sure to check to see who created an article before nominating it for deletion.[[User:JacobB|JacobB]]<sub>[[User talk:JacobB|Shout out!]]</sub> 20:27, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
