RE: Zack Fair

First off, cool down and stop with the name calling; keep good faith. Attacking me does no good, and those are also Wiki policies. Second, I removed it once. Now, explain to me: why should it stay? Why is this fansite considered reliable? What policy specifically are you referring to? Yes, your fansite is nice (though I have not gone in-depth, there is any innaccuracy about the wolf). I only remove things that hinder the article, rather than improve it, and anyone else watching an article does the same. Now, why do I consider this link unable to be added? Well, because of this: Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided, number 11. It clearly states that fansites are not allowed unless written by a recognized author. I cannot find your full name on the site, let alone proof that you are reputable. Being a translator does not mean that your website is considered a reliable source (if that were the case, I could make a fansite about a German series and call it reliable, despite the fact that it wouldn't because I am, quite frankly, a nobody in the world of reviewing or writing). For a person to be considered reliable (according to Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published sources (online and paper) they should be an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications. But, now it's your turn: what proof do you have to counter these policies? WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 21:24, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Barack Obama and race

We've had repeated discussions about how to describe Obama's race on the talk page. The product of those discussions has been a consensus, in line with site policy, to say "African-American". See the second FAQ. Also, please take note that the article is on an indefinite probation. That's not a warning, just FYI.--chaser (talk) 03:31, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
