User:RJII created
Template:Exclusion and
Template:Exclusion-Section.
User:Essjay
User:backburner001 added the exclusion-section template to
here and then
User:RadioKirk subsequently created
Template:Inclusion-Section. Currently,
Template:Inclusion does not exist. I believe these templates are pointless and will only serve to create a new dispute over the old one, on what to put on the actual page. The templates are inherently POV, since it asserts that the piece of information is relevant or irrelevant, depending on which template is used. {{
NPOV}} is sufficient for any disputes. --

- Strong Keep I knew I should have made the templates under my alternate name. "infinity" is an enemy who has been following me around Wikipedia and deleting my edits. Anyway, there's a great need for the
Template:Exclusion and the
Template:Exclusion-Section templates. There are templates regarding information that's IN articles, but there wasn't one dealing with information that is being taken OUT of articles. The reader needs to know that there's a dispute going on about information that was taken out of the article, and for that reason the text "MAY" be missing an important piece of information. When a consensus is reached that the information should not be included in the article, the dispute tag is removed. Or, if a consensus is reached that the information should be included, it's put in the article and the tag is removed. I think it would reduce edit wars, greatly. A huge source of edit wars occur because people are taking out and putting back in the same information back and forth. If someone can just put a tag up, then the dispute gets moved to the talk page instead of edit warring. When the dispute is resolved, the tag is removed. The editors and readers are both better off for it.

- Accusing people of stalking you and deleting your edits is bad faith. Also, you're not allowed to have "alternate names..." :| Seriously though, you'll notice I looked around further and spotted that your template had already created a dispute within a day of its creation, leading to the creation of Template:Inclusion-Section (which you failed conveniently to create yourself). That was why I put up this TfD. The templates give out a POV message. -- infinity 0 18:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- That's before the tag was refined, so that's not really relevant. The wording on it is different now.

- It's not true one is not allowed to have alternate names. It's a great tool for editing different articles, so that one's edits are judged on their merits, rather than on who the editor is. As, long as it's not done to create the deception of agreement or activity within an article (as in someone agreeing with themselves) it's fine. RJII 18:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

- I'm telling the truth. When I make an edit, you're right there to delete it. You managed to find that I created this template and have put it up for deletion. Only you know if you're "stalking" my edits. And, there is absolutely nothing POV about the two templates I created. They will serve to reduce edit warring greatly, and more importantly, let the reader know that there's some information being debated over in regard to whether it should be included.

- So you were about to create a template you're now trying to get deleted. LOL. Enough of this. Your first instinct is to delete anything you see me do (Remember the poker book? You had never been to that article before. You checked to see what I had been editing, went to that article and summarily deleted it without even bothering to see exactly what it was you were deleting). On a knee-jerk reaction, you're putting up for deletion templates that can be very valuable for Wikipedia simply because I'm the one that created them. If they were created under another name, you wouldn't be doing this and you know it. RJII
- Whatever, man. That poker thing happened once. I put this up for deletion after seeing the pointless argument it caused. --

- Keep I created
Template:Inclusion-Section for balance, and I believe these templates may be useful in creating dialogue. Not everyone with valid input remembers to visit an article's talk page; these serve as a guide. Naturally (like everything else about this encyclopedia and/or its users), there is always the possibility for escalation of disagreements; I tend to think, at least at this point, that the benefits outweigh the potential deficits.

- I saw that. That was a great idea. Almost as ingenious as my creation. It looks like that one will be very valuable as well. RJII 04:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- I would just like to note that I was looking for this template before RadioKirk created it. If one of these templates is deleted, both should be deleted. There is a potential that these templates can call attention to discussion, which was how I intended to use it. However, I also believe that these tags have the potential to fuel pre-existing content disputes. A general tag that would call attention to discussion on the talk page but avoid the potential of being used in revert wars would be more appropriate. -- backburner001 23:52, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Despite its possibility for abuse, there are situations where this could be helpful. I assume that people will use this template to be helpful in such situations in the future (although I'm not sure what I think about how it is being used now). However, I also think it should be re-worded to be less accusatory than it is now.-- Tifego 03:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)I reworded it slightly, although I doubt that'll change anyone's opinion.-- Tifego 03:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)- Replace with {{ Content}} in agreeance with Arthur Rubin.

The result of the debate was delete. While that is the correct outcome, let me remind you for the future that it's pointless to try to settle questions of how to conform to existing laws or Wikipedia policies by a discussion or vote.

- Delete per above. Chairman S. Talk 06:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, non-commercial use is better than nothing and, above all, the poland.gov allows any intitution to use them for any purpose except for financial gain.
Wikipedia:Copyrights claims that non-commercial use is deprecated, but not forbidden. Also, each of the pictures links to the page from where it was uploaded, just go to the galleries of that page and check it. Anyway, just let me know if you can think of how a WWII picture of some Polish partisans or a Polish WWII tank could be used for commercial gain. An advertisement of carbines? Promotion of living in a forest? Absurd. Anyway, I contacted the portal in question and asked whether they would allow us to use the pictures under some other license, that would also allow us to publish them for commercial gain. Alternatively we could add the {{
Non-free fair use in}} tag to every picture and solve the problem by claiming fair use in any article it's used in.

- I think you misunderstand the situation with non-commercial images. There is an executive order from Jimbo that they be deleted and a CSD (#I3) allowing them to be speedied. Some probably are fair use and should be marked as such, but simply allowing non-commercial use is not good enough. Dragons flight 14:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

- Comment as I already said, I mailed the Polish ministry some time ago (details at WP:PWNB). Yesterday I called the chief of the Internet Promotion Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had a quick chat with him. He told me he's going to contact his lawyers, but he believes there'd be no problem with that as it's Wikipedia, after all (his own words :) ). So, let's wait a tad with deleting this tag, ok?

- Keep pending Halibutt's investigation. It would be a shame to delete it prematurely, if few days can give us more information.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 23:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- KEEP, decree or no decree from Jimbo, I still strongly believe that images under an unfree copyright should be kept. Just because "jimbo says so" does mean we all have to go out and delete all non-commercial only images. If there are issues with mirrors not being able to use these, then all we need to do is put the images under an appropriate category, and leave it up to the mirrors to exclude such images. Thus far, the only valid reason for deleting non-commercial only images that I've seen is because of Jimbo's message, and I think that's a terrible shame. If we can use the images here, then why not? It's most certainly beneficial to readers. - Frazzydee| ✍ 01:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
