Veronica's Wikipedia Article is Up For Deletion!

May 17, 2006 12:24PM PDT

Due to it being a "Vanity Page". What they say makes sense, but i still am sad, and unsure. People should talk about it in the deletion discussion for it. the link to her page is:

Sorry guys, I have to put the delete tag back...Wiki policy
May 18, 2006 12:47PM PDT

For those unfamiliar with Wikipedia rules, once a person has nominated an article for deletion, the tag MUST STAY ON THE ARTICLE FOR 5 DAYS!!!

Yes, a user can go into the code and remove the tag, but admins on the site frown heavily upon that, and actually consider that an act of vandalism. If you think about it, it makes sense.

If a person puts up the deletion tag code into an article, once they had garnered enough votes to "DELETE", then all the vandal has to do is take out the tag, and leave the vote at a standstill. The vote page will eventually alert the admins after 5 days that this article has been confirmed to be deleted. THAT'S THE LAST THING WE WANT TO HAPPEN.

So please, if you are willing to help add content on V's page (as well as the others, plus BOL's page), do it responsibly. Don't just delete system tags because you don't like it.

As for the picture, V, if you can point me to a better picture of you, I can figure how to insert it correctly. As for that current picture, I took that out as well.

The delete tag on V's wikipedia page is gone. The 5 day limit is up and apparently people on Wiki thought the article should stay. Happy Congrats.

Yup, just verified it. The delete tag is official as well.

Sorry V, the delete tag is still valid, so we'll need to wait till next week before we can take the tag off. Any action taken to do so early will result in a vandalism report. As long as people still vote for it to stay, then your page will remain.
