NPOV tag

I'm going to remove the tag because whoever tagged the article didn't say why they did so here, rendering it useless. Theshibboleth 18:10, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's useless is to remove an NPOV tag without a good reason (the article does have severe NPOV issues). Please don't do that again. You need to read an article and then conclude that the NPOV tag shouldn't be there. Just because whoever added it didn't write down a reason doesn't mean that it's good practice to just plain remove it. —msikma (user, talk) 14:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Rewrite required

This article needs to be rewritten. It seems like an advertisement at this point, and I don't think that simply patching it up is going to help it very easily. The new version will first have to assert notability, then go on to explain the circumstances under which the foundation was created and the events leading up to that point, as well as a history of its existence, and then state some information on the things the foundation does. —msikma (user, talk) 14:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the rewrite accomplishes most of this (not all, it could still be improved, I'm keeping a note of that)80.187.201.11 (talk) 09:22, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Restore content deleted as non-notable

This page contained a full list of Shuttleworth Foundation fellows. This list was deleted as "non-notable people".

Notability guidelines in Wikipedia apply to pages, but not to the content within them. (Notability guidelines can also apply to the content of lists, but this is for cases where the page *is* a list – this is not one of those cases.)

I've raised this concern on the editor's talk page. I'm leaving a note here as well. I have conflict of interest, but if there's no response here I plan to revert this deletion one week from now. I hope that's okay.
