the Laserfiche article

Alex, I see in Wikipedia:Resolving_disputes that a lot of this discussion over on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laserfiche (second nomination) should have been occuring on a talk page. So, is there anything that can be done to come to some sort of resolution? I really do feel that the article is notable, and it is verifiable, and NPOV. While things related to verifiability and NPOV can certainly be edited in the article if it remains, I feel that we should first resolve the issue of whether or not the Laserfiche article should remain. Can you help me understand what you feel would qualify Laserfiche as notable? --Docmgmt 17:32, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article is much better than when I nominated it for deletion. I'll review and consider my vote. You may wish to take a copy of the page now, as deletion may still occur by an administrator. Alex 09:02, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your rigourous oversight, and helping ensure that my personal POV does not leak over into the article. --Docmgmt 13:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've voted keep based on the current contents; it's much more encyclopaedic and better researched. Alex 11:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

minor edits

I prefer to restrict the minor flag to edits that only alter spacing, formatting, spelling, and grammar changes. Changes that alter meaning are not minor by my definition, and many of your edits I would not mark as minor. Ideogram 16:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, good point. Mea culpa. This is not a minor edit ;-) Alex 22:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

please vote for forth

Please vote for Forth as a Featured Article Candidate. Ideogram 18:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, not to pressure you or anything, but do you not feel Forth should be a Featured Article?

There doesn't seem to be much interest, unfortunately. Guess it's too esoteric. Ideogram 05:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see Forth as a featured article, and I will vote for it; it's just a bit premature imho, as we need to get some of the duplication out of the article for one. I don't spend much time on Wikipedia, but I'll make some suggestions on the talk page over the next week or so. Don't despair! Alex 08:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
