Takeover Defense Strategies

[edit]

Hmm... currently all takeover defense strategies are grouped under Mergers and acquisitions. Is there a need to make a separate category for them? I'd love to hear your input on this. I'll also do some more research on PacMan Defense and see if I can come up with some cases. Ray 13:44, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a subcategory? What do you think? --H.al-shawaf 20:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Accountancy

[edit]

If you are interested in working in collaboration with Wikipedia members on improving the article Accountancy, you will be pleased to hear that the Accountancy task force has been set up and is seeking participants who can assist with the article's overhaul. Perhaps you would like to provide verifiable content on this subject matter, in which case your input could be invaluable. Alternatively we are also seeking participants who can help with the systematic sorting of related accountancy articles into meaningful categories, an activity that does not require undertaking research but will nonetheless help improve the quality of the article's links. Either way, the task force would like to hear from you! --Gavin Collins 12:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I don't have any reliable sources to cite, just the interview that I heard on WDWS radio here in CU with the student senator who claimed to have requested the documents. There may be sources, but I have not looked overly hard for them. -- Upholder (talk) 17:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Daily Illini describes a similar situation. It's entirely possible that the radio interview that I heard was about this incident. If you would like to rewrite that section to use the source, I would fully support that as I agree it should be supported by a reliable source. -- Upholder (talk) 20:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

On your new article, you could put {{underconstruction}} or {{construction}}, which would result in

or

This way, admins won't delete it while you're editing. Just a thought. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER 16:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of UIUC people

[edit]

In addition to reverting your edit, I dropped all names that were redlinked and uncitedm as being unable to pass [{WP:V]], and therefore unable to pass WP:NOTABLE. Please don't add them back until they can either have a wikiarticle (which mean they have passed WP:NOTABLE or you can find a reliable source to pass WP:V. Not having a wikipage or any kind of sources is a problem and just because it happens on other pages doesn't make it ok, per WP:OTHERSTUFF. You've obviously got a lot of interest in this, so I suggest coming up with either wikipages or reliable sources for people you want to add. :)Justinm1978 (talk) 16:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, but alumni is defined as "An alumnus (pl. alumni) according to the American Heritage Dictionary is "a male graduate or former student of a school, college, or university." [1] In addition, an alumna (pl. alumnae) is "a female graduate or former student of a school, college, or university." [2]". I would say that he qualifies as a former student.

Infobox images

I don't believe that you can easily resize images used in the infobox templates as they are constructed to be a consistent size. -- Upholder (talk) 17:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Accountancy task force

[edit]

Hello, this message is being sent to you since you are an interested participant of the Accountancy task force. This is just a heads-up that the task force has been expanded with new features and its main page modified. Now that the task force has assessed over 800 articles in its scope, a breakdown can be seen of the quality of articles. A new userbox can be added to your page, and if you know of a editor contributing to accounting articles, a welcoming template can be used to invite the editor to join the task force. If you haven't already, consider watchlisting the main discussion page. There is currently a discussion about adding a template to some main accounting topics that would benefit from input by other editors. Feel free to leave feedback on the discussion page for further improving these new features. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 07:33, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article Bruce P. Smith (academic) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet WP:PROF. Adminstrative career is not a component of WP:PROF. Sole Google News item I found was a quote in somebody's obituary. h-index is about 5.
He's a published author. How thorough was your Google search? http://www.aspenpublishers.com/Product.asp?catalog_name=Aspen&product_id=0735562903&cookie_test=1 You'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the field of legal history that doesn't know who he is. Revert the deletion and I'll make the appropriate citations.H.al-shawaf (talk) 04:43, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
