Wielbark culture

The Wielbark culture (Wielbark-Willenberg-Kultur; Kultura wielbarska) is an Iron Age archaeological complex which flourished on the territory of today's Poland from the 1st century AD to the 5th century AD.

The Wielbark culture is associated with the Goths and related Germanic peoples, and played an important role in the Amber Road. It displays cultural links not only with its neighbours, but also with southern Scandinavia. The Wielbark culture replaced the preceding Oksywie culture on the lower Vistula in the 1st century AD, and subsequently expanded southwards at the expense of the Przeworsk culture, which is associated with the Vandals. This expansion has been associated by historians such as Peter Heather with the contemporary Marcomannic Wars. By the late 3rd century AD, the Wielbark culture had expanded into the area of the upper Dniester, where it possibly influenced the Chernyakhov culture to its south, which encompassed a large area between the Danube and the Don River.

In the 5th century AD, the Wielbark culture was replaced by the Sukow-Dziedzice group, which is associated with the Early Slavs.

Discovery
The Wielbark culture was named after the once-Prussian village, known in German as Willenberg, where a burial place with over 3,000 tombs, was discovered and partially recorded in 1873.

The "first modern description" of the culture was not until the work of Ryszard Wołągiewicz in the 1970s. The cemetery's completeness and long period of use was the reason this site was chosen to name the culture, which "spans all the phases of Wielbark culture as well as phases predating its emergence and thus dating to the earlier, pre-Roman period".

Many of the cemetery stones were moved, and many graves were damaged by the early discoverers, particularly during the Second World War.

Characteristics

Before 1 AD, when the Roman empire began to be more influential in northern Europe, there was relative consistency in burial practices between the Rhine and Vistula. Bodies were normally cremated and there were few grave goods, if any. This began to change, possibly reflecting increasing social stratification. The Wielbark culture, for example, is distinguished by its occasional use of monumental "barrow" burials.

The Wielbark culture is primarily differentiated from its predecessor the Oksywie culture by the introduction of inhumation as opposed to cremation, which began around 1 AD. Notably, the Wielbark culture used both rituals. Despite this, there is also evidence for continuity between the two cultures. This is interpreted as being caused by an evolution in spiritual culture.

The neighbouring Przeworsk culture, on the other hand, long continued to practice cremation, and whereas Wielbark burials never included weapons, Przeworsk burials often did. In the second century AD however, the burial practices of the Wielbark culture began to spread into Przeworsk areas.

Instead, the artifacts found are mostly ornaments and costumes, although a few graves have shown spurs, these being the only warrior attributes found. The people of the Wielbark culture used both inhumation and cremation techniques for burying their dead.

The Wielbark culture played an important role in the Amber Road. A complex series of wooden bridges and causeways built by the Wielbark culture were probably connected to this trade.

The Wielbark culture appears to have practiced mixed agriculture. Their lack of agricultural expertise made their fields less fertile, which caused the population to be quite mobile. Several settlements however remained stable for hundreds of years.

A characteristic of the Wielbark culture, which it had in common with southern Scandinavia, was the raising of stone covered mounds, stone circles, solitary stelae and variations of cobble cladding. These stone circles might have been places of communal meetings.

The Wielbark culture displays several characteristics similar to those of the Chernyakhov culture. This includes the creation of handmade bowl-shaped ceramics, the wearing by females of fibula brooches on each shoulder, the presence of Germanic longhouses, the practice of both cremation and inhumation, and the lack of weapons deposited in burials.

Another feature of the Wielbark culture was the use of bronze to make ornaments and accessories. Silver was used seldom and gold rarely. Iron appears to have been used extremely rarely. In 2000, in Czarnówko near Lębork, Pomerania, a cemetery of Oksywie and Wielbark cultures was found. These reached their height before the emigration of the population to the south began. A bronze kettle depicts males wearing the Suebian knot hairstyle.

History
The Wielbark culture emerged in the 1st century AD around the same area as the Oksywie culture, around the present day towns of Gdańsk and Chełmno. Whether the Wielbark culture was an outgrowth of the Oksywie culture or represents a new population is disputed. The increasing density of Wielbark centuries after its establishment suggests that it experienced significant population growth during its existence.

During the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, the Wielbark culture expanded into the lakelands (Kashubian and Krajenskian lakes) and stretched southwards, into the region around Poznań. Here it ejected the Przeworsk culture, which is often associated with the Vandals. Rather than being entirely replaced, archaeological evidence suggest that the Przeworsk were to a certain extent absorbed by the Wielbark. The southward expansion of the Wielbark burial habits has been connected with the beginning of the Marcomannic Wars. By 200 AD, people of the Wielbark culture appear to have been recruited as soldiers in the Roman Army.

In the first half of the 3rd century AD, the Wielbark culture expanded southwards along the Vistula and Bug towards the upper Dniester. Meanwhile, Pomeranian settlements by the Baltic Sea were somewhat, but not entirely, abandoned. This expansion was swifter and on an even larger scale than previous ones, and represented a significant shift of Wielbark power towards the south. Archaeological and linguistics evidence suggest that the expansion involved both men, women and children. The Gothic attack on Histria in 238 is probably connected with this expansion. North of the Black Sea, the Wielbark culture played a decisive role in the formation of the Chernyakhov culture in the late 3rd century AD, which by the 4th century AD would cover a huge area between the Danube and the Don River. Though historically controversial, it is now universally accepted that the origins of the Chernyakhov culture lie primarily in the Wielbark culture, and that the former represents a culture dominated by the Goths and other Germanic peoples.

Isolated pockets of the Wielbark culture continued to exist in current northern Poland until the 5th century AD. From then it was replaced by the Sukow-Dziedzice group, which is associated with Early Slavs.

Ethnicity
The Wielbark culture has been described by archaeologists as a culture which continued both Germanic and non-Germanic people, which developed from the previous Oksywie material culture, with some influences from Scandinavia. Roman authors described the Gutones, Rugii and Lemovii as living in the same approximate area.

The Gutones have traditionally been equated to the ancestors of the Goths from Scandza (Scandinavia) to Gothiscandza as related in Jordanes' account of their origin. While such Scandinavian influence may well have played a part, the identical geographical extent and persistent use of Oksywie cemeteries suggest that the Wielbark Culture emerged from previous human settlements in the area, with new groups of Scandinavian immigrants making contributions to it as they arrived.

Based upon the accounts of Jordanes and Tacitus, many historians and archaeologists believe that the culture was politically dominated by the ancestors of the Goths, Rugii and Gepids who are later described in Roman and Greek sources further south, living north of the imperial border on the Danube. Along with the neighbouring Przeworsk culture, historian Peter Heather places it in the Germanic cultural horizon. In the past, the Wielbark culture was often connected with Early Slavs, but such theories have been dismissed by modern scholarship.

The cemeteries may give some indication in evidence as to which settlements could have been established directly by Goths. Barrow cemeteries on the Baltic Sea in Poland, which have raised stone circles, and solitary stelae next to them, reflect Scandinavian burial customs with a concentration in Gotland and Götaland. Appearing in the later 1st century, this type is found between the Vistula and the Kashubian and Krajenskian lakelands (Odry and Węsiory sites) reaching into the Koszalin region (Grzybnica site).

Physical characteristics
Odontological analysis revealed that the Central European populations from the Roman period and the Early Middle Ages were indistinguishable in terms of non-metrical dental traits, though this does not exclude the possibility of genetically different origins.

Genetics
Juras et al. (2014) compared the mtDNA of the Wielbark culture and the Przeworsk culture, both belonging to the Roman Iron Age (RoIA) with that of populations from Poland in the Middle Ages. 24 samples of mtDNA from the Wielbark sites of Kowalewko (11) and Rogowo (13) were examined. Wielbark samples were found to be primarily carrying types of haplogroup H, while types of U and W were also frequent. It was found that the mtDNA of the RoiA populations was largely similar to that of medieval populations, although they displayed closer genetic relations to populations of northern and central Europe, while medieval populations on the other hand displayed closer genetic relations to Slavs of eastern and southern Europe. The mtDNA of the RoIA samples were found to be more closely related to Poles than any other modern population, while similarities with Balts and other West Slavs were also detected.

Stolarek et al. (2018) examined the mtDNA of 60 individuals buried at the Wielbark cemetery of Kowalewko in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The majority of the individuals carried types of haplogroup H and U. Notably, they displayed higher frequencies of U5b (a typically Western Hunter-Gatherer lineage) than preceding and succeeding populations in the area. Compared to some ancient DNA samples, the male mitochondrial mix was found to be most closely related to Iron Age Jutland and late Neolithic Central European Bell Beaker culture samples. The females were most similar to Early-Middle Neolithic farmers.

Stolarek et al. (2019) examined the mtDNA of 27 individuals from a Wielbark cemetery in Masłomęcz, Poland. The remains were from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. Based on archaeological evidence, these individuals were assumed to be Goths. They were found to be mostly carriers of haplogroup H and U. The individuals displayed even closer genetic links to Iron Age populations of southern Scandinavia than those of Kowalewko did. Males and females at Masłomęcz were more closely related to each other than those at Kowalewko. They also carried fewer samples of U5b, and displayed less strong genetic links to the Yamanya culture, Corded Ware culture, Bell Beaker culture and Unetice culture than earlier Wielbark samples from Kowalewko.

Zenczak et al. (2017) assigned Y-DNA haplogroups to 16 individuals buried at the Kowalewko archeological site associated with the Wielbark culture. In total, 8 out of 16 samples were assigned to haplogroup I1. Out of the samples dated to the Roman Iron Age, 3 samples belonged to haplogroup I1 under the subclade I1-L1237 of the I1-Z63 branch, one to R1b, and one to I2a2.

Y-chromosome analysis of Goths from the Masłomęcz group cemeteries in southeastern Poland. A total of 14 individuals (78%) represents the Y chromosome haplogroups most closely related to the Scandinavian population. Thirteen individuals were classified into subclades of haplogroup I1, four to haplogroup R1a and one to haplogroup J2b.

Stolarek et al. (2023) tested several individuals buried in Wielbark culture cemeteries. The Y-chromosomes were 1 E (E1b1b1a1b1a), 1 F, 5 G2a (two G2a2b2a1a1b1a1a2 and three more with derived subclades), 19 I1-M253 with SNPs below L1237, Z2039 and P109, 1 I2a1b1, 1 J2b2a1, 1 J2a1a, 2 N1a, 2 R1a1a, 1 with derived R1a-M458, and 6 R1b (three of them with SNPs below U106). Such results show that the Wielbark culture was dominated by Y-hgs most frequently observed in ancient Northern European populations. This observation agrees with the autosomal results, as the individuals analysed were shifted towards peoples inhabiting Northwestern Europe, so that much of their ancestry had a Scandinavian origin.

I would have liked to see mention of CONEL - College of North East London listed under the heading 'Education.'

Names
I'd be interested to know the significance of the two names Harringay and Haringey. Maybe this could be mentioned in the article? Duncan Smith 10:48, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * this might provide some explanation MRSC 11:31, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Now better to look at the more comprehensive and authoritative History of Harringay.hjuk (talk) 17:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Haringey Harringay
Excellent article - thanks for that. Looks like there is a good case for going back to calling it Harringay then! Duncan Smith 11:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I enjoyed the article too..although the big mistake in it was stating that Harringay pre 01/04.65 was part of the old Borough of Hornsey... it wasn´t, it was part of the Borough of Tottenham!! Maybe this is the reason that Harringay can´t be easily defined ..say like Tooting or Walthamstow IsarSteve 16:15, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

In fact Harringay was split between Hornsey & Tottenham boroughs. See History of Harringay for the detail on this.hjuk (talk) 17:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Population question
How can white British people be a(sic) ethnic minority when they make up 45% of the population if the next largest ethnic group makes up only 20%? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.73.199 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 14 February 2007

 * Simple, a majority is, by definition, over 50%, and since 45% is less than that, it is a minority. The largest minority, to be sure, but a minority all the same. -- AJR | Talk 23:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Why not link to minority then too if it's so 'simple'? Minority means a lot more than just an opposite to majority. --Matt Lewis 06:12, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

"White British people are in an ethnic minority" !?
Going by the quoted figures, this line should read 'White people of British decent are in an ethnic minority'. The original line without the 'decent' qualifier is just untrue.

I'm changing the paragraph - if anyone changes it back please can they explain here why I'm wrong. The population figures and categories were too inexact anyway, and the citation given was incorrectly made and a dead link too. (Note that Haringey council's own figures are slightly out - but only fractionally, so all the figures won't quite add up to 100%!). I'm assuming the figures about age and house-owning were broadly correct - so I've left them for now.

So my main reason for revision is that the other "third of white people" (20.3% of Haringey) are surely "White British people" too (or will be in the vast majority, for the sake of argument). Also, saying that "White British people" are "just 45%" has an unpleasant overtone for me. Simply put, around 65.7% of Haringey citizens are white and British first and foremost - and other details such as their heritage, Britishness or legality should be addressed at a later juncture, and only if relevant.

To try and avoid future conflict here, I've improved the accuracy of the initial figures and citation, and inserted another paragraph stating the 45.3% figure, briefly explaining that people are for and against ascribing importance to it. Please consider this before removing the paragraph (or look for a good citation for it if you want to help keep it). I have moved the uncited comment on whether the 2001 census underestimated Haringey's population figures to the bottom of here, and made it a more honest comment (merely to save somebody less sensitive from doing it).

If racism/cultural tension is an issue in Haringey, perhaps the contentious issues above could be included instead under another sub-heading dealing with that? In my wiki experience they won't go away, so are best dealt with rather than simply removed/reverted/removed etc!

ALSO NOTE - the Haringey article is currently labelled: "To comply with Wikipedia's quality standards, this article may need to be rewritten." - so it needs some more good contributions! --Matt Lewis 06:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Move Demographics downwards?
It might be a good idea to move Demographics downwards. Perhaps to after Political Composition?

The opening paragraph actually contains the same statistics that are clearly visible in the Infobox on the right!

It would be a friendlier article if it began with the History too... --Matt Lewis 07:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Why remove the references to racial issues (inc. some census details)?
Hjuk - I can understand why you wanted to remove the material, though a little less why you call it 'irrelevant', and not at all the reasoning in your edit-note calling the census data ‘unsourced interpretation’. It was sourced and accurate! I included it because the old data was incorrect and deliberately misleading. If you had read this page first you will have realised that it was included for consensus. If people put new racially motivated stuff in now, my work will be lost unless copied out of a past edit. I spent a while writing the paragraph - adapting it from the very biased material what was already there, and making it hard to refute. It took half a second to remove, of course - tsk!

If you didn’t find it objective, please tell me why? I have made comments directly about removing the paragraph (in 4 above in bold), I would have appreciated some kind of comment before someone removed it. Given what has happened here before, I have to be a touch unsure of your motives - which could be very unfair of course. Unfortunately, if the racial issues do come back, it could be seen as some form evidence of relevance - unsavoury though it is. Also this article has gone on to be 'mid importance' – so should you be doing this without discussion?

If you have a good case I won't mind the removal at all. --Matt Lewis 02:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry Matt. A little heavy-handed I guess. I hadn't been aware of the racist issues you'd been dealing with in the past. I know how frustrating it is when you've been beavering away diligently at something then some arrogant git like me comes and blasts it out of the water.

 * So let me be honest about my reasoning. Despite some recent noticeable improvements, my view of the article is that it's way below par. I guess I took the frustration I have with it out in part on your demographics contribution. It sounded to me like thinly veiled racism - but from your msg, you don't sound like you have that agenda.

The para:
 * The fact that white people of singularly British descent currently form less than 50% of the total population of Haringey has been in focus. It has been noted that drawing such a distinction between being of ‘white British descent’, and of being a British citizen who has ancestors from elsewhere (white or non-white), can be used as a racist argument.
 * seemed misplaced in this article. I can now understand, perhaps, why you wrote it like this. My exepreince has been, however, that what works best is to cram in sourced facts. That, above all else, makes something hard to refute. As it was written, I, and I'm sure others, assumed it was intended to convey the opposite of what appears to have been your meaning.

 * With regards to the para:
 * It has been noted that white people of British descent form 45.3% of Haringey's total population, while the other 20.4% of Haringey's 65.7% white population are comprised primarily of people with Turkish, Irish, Greek or Cypriot descent.
 * I'm not aware that ONS data specifies ethnicity down to the level of country of origin, which is why I took that out. If I'm wrong, I'm happy to learn from you.

 * Clearly this is Wikipedia and anything I've taken out still exists in History and can be reinstated. I do apprecite your communicating via this page - as I should have done . Whilst I don't currently have plans to do a huge amnount of work on the Haringey page, if it sounds like it would be useful, I'm happy to collaborate on nibbling away to create somethig better than what exists already. But it sounds like you've had a bit of a battle on your hands.

hjuk 02:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Fair enough - I can see you do a lot on the subject. I'm not even a Londoner btw, so can't help with the rest of the page I'm afraid! If my new paragraph actually looked a little racist itself, I would rather it wasn't there. Best is leave it out and see what happens. Now the page is looking more serious, hopefully it won't become a dumping ground for that kind of insidious racism again. I wasn’t actually in an edit war in the end by the way - though it did look a lot to me like the page was an aftermath of one. Certainly the page was unacceptable as it was, and I know how persistent some Wikipedians can be (especially politically motivated ones) – so I didn’t just delete what I saw, I added accurate detail.

 * The Ethnic Group Theme tables citied actually link to the data as Excel files. I had to extrapolate the figures myself - I did it because I could see the ones up at the time were exaggerated to add weight to a racist point. Technically the numbers are all there in the link - they just needed a little subtraction to be totally clear (not quite original work!?). I basically did it to pre-empt a challenge on my re-writing the statement on ‘white’ Britishness. If anyone has came back to see the change, no one has complained. I thought maybe it was more of a local issue too - it's heartening if it isn't such a deal, of course. --Matt Lewis 20:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reply Matt. I'll keep nibbling away and try and keep any racism at bay! hjuk 21:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Famous Residents
A question as to whether this section has a place here. Many of the pages for the local areas in Haringey already have extensive lists. So this one just has a few that haven't made it on to those pages. If all the notable locals were put on, this list wd be huge. Might it not be better to refer people to local areas? In the meantime I've reformatted it a la Crouch End. If there are already Wikipedia articles for people, readers can find out who they are by clicking the link. Where there are no pages, I've moved the explanation to the footnotes. hjuk 18:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * There are far too many famous residents to put in this article. All people whose area of residence is known have been moved to the relvant area of Haringey page. All pages for the famous people have been tagged with a people from X tag and can be accessed via the see also category link in the article. The remaining people have been fact tagged pending addition of their area of residence. PLease add it as a note if you know it. hjuk (talk) 00:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Culture links
I'm going to remove a couple from this section; the Millfield Theatre is actually in LB Enfield and the Red Rose Club is in Islington.BTLizard (talk) 13:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

None of the visual arts links (as of January 2009)lead to galleries or visual arts spaces within Haringey that provide normal open access to visitors - these links are to arts training and development services. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dextercat (talk • contribs) 14:31, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Then they should probably be removed. It's probably not helpful to qualify them in the article, in a discursive style. Kbthompson (talk) 16:49, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Baby P
Many readers would have been surprised, as I was, to find this article contained until a few days ago ago, absolutely no references to the cases of Victoria Climbie and "Baby P".

The fact that controversial issues are covered in British tabloids does not render them un-encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not censored, and can be a valuable source of facts as opposed to rumour. A feature of the Climbie and Baby Peter cases is that Haringey failed, or refused to perceive its failure and that only national, Parliamentary and Ministerial criticism seems to have awakened the local authority to that.

It was also surprising that the page has been semi-protected against vandalism, even though there seems to have been ony one instance of this. WP rules state that protection should not be used against a perceived threat; only after a pattern of vandalism is evident, and I propose that the protection is removed until it is clearly needed, enabling non-registered editors to add information.

Hope this is helpful.--Straw Cat (talk) 11:32, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Do note that this article is about the Borough, not the council. Haringey Council redirects here but the focus of the article is the Borough. I think it would be worth starting a new section on Haringey Council (I guess I'll start it based on what's already in the lead) which can then be expanded and possibly split off into it's own article if there is enough material to warrant it. GDallimore (Talk) 16:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Didn't need a new section, after all. I'd just misread the current section breaks. I've combined separate sections into one politics section based on City of Westminster, which looked to be a pretty good model. GDallimore (Talk) 17:14, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi there, the article was semi-protected for one month as it seemed likely that people would use it to express their unconsidered anger. That's not what wikipedia is for. As the full report is now available, the opportunity should be given to allow the article to be improved, based on evidence - so, I'll unprotect it. HTH Kbthompson (talk) 13:50, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Notable residents - Yehudi Menuhin, Sting,
I have removed, for now, Yehudi Menuhin and Sting from the notable residents list. If you want to replace either, please provide a good reference which demonstrates that they did live in this borough. My concern is that they may only have been listed here because they lived in Highgate village and someone has wrongly extrapolated from that to take it as Haringey. In fact, they lived in the same house (not at the same time!) in The Grove, but that house is most definitely in Camden not Haringey. So if they are to go back in, it must be because they lived somewhere else (er - I mean two somewhere elses, I guess!) that really was/were in this borough. All comments and clarification gratefully read. Thanks and best wishes, DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 08:35, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I have removed three further names (JB Priestly, Colerdige and George Michael) on the same basis. All relate to the Camden part of Highgate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathandt (talk • contribs) 04:35, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Sounds good. Our own article makes it clear that Coleridge lived in The Grove (same or neighbouring house I wonder?). I don't know about George Michael or Priestley but I agree with taking them out if you know they are wrong: anyone wanting them back in would only have to cite the evidence! :) This is clearly a problem that will be constant for this article given Highgate's nature and its boundaries ... DBaK (talk) 07:30, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Is the Gatehouse really in Haringey? (No, it's in Camden)
I can't figure it out from the map. It looks like it could be in Camden too but it's hard to see precisely where the border runs. I'm taking no action (other than writing this message) as I am really unsure - does anyone have anything clear on this? Thanks and best wishes DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 09:23, 1 April 2009 (UTC) (x-posted to Talk:Upstairs at The Gatehouse)
 * Oops answered my own question: please see this where it says "The boundary problem continued as the names changed, most recently with Camden and Haringey sharing the building. In 1993 the border was moved a few feet to allow one licensing authority overall control and The Gatehouse is now the last pub (going North) in Camden." I'm moving it - hope this is OK< if not please discuss. Thanks and best wishes DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 09:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

White Highlanders - interesting but unusable?
The article contains this: "The borough is very ethnically diverse. It has extreme contrasts:[4] areas in the west, such as Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End are among the most prosperous in the country; in the east of the borough, some wards are classified as being among the most deprived 10% in the country.[5]". Very true. It's known in the borough that this sets up some interesting tensions, for example in spending priorities etc. It's also known, I think, to quite a few that some Council people - officers or elected, I don't know - have been known unofficially to refer to the population of those richer Western parts as the "White Highlanders". Obviously this is not a wildly affectionate description (see the linked article) and is unlikely to do anyone's career much good if they're caught using it. But it does, I think, say something interesting about the borough and its people and council. Trouble is, I think it's probably pretty much 100% unciteable, and should therefore stay out, especially since it's contentious and only has my or your word for it. I did find one possible reference to it online (Google for '"white highlanders" Haringey') but that leads to a paid-for service. Any bright ideas? Please note, to repeat - I am entirely clear that this cannot be used without good references: I am emphatically not repeat not advocating just whacking it in to see what happens! Without a really good ref it's nowhere, and rightly so. Cheers, DBaK (talk) 07:28, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

 * If you can think of a way to work it in without being misleading, be my guest; it needs to be made clear, though, that for purposes of local government finance, London Weighting, policing levels etc Haringey (and Newham) are treated as "Outer London", since those are the reasons people are likely to be looking for information on the definition of Inner vs Outer. – iride  scent  14:48, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Coat of arms of the London Borough of Haringey
This article is mostly some trivia about LBH relying only on a number of primary sources for it's content. It would make much more sense if reintegrated back into the main article. Salimfadhley (talk) 16:45, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

 * No, it's not trivia, that's a ridiculous claim. It's about the arms of the borough. It can't be "reintegrated" because most of the article was not in the borough article before the arms article was created. The article may be short, but that's no reason for deleting it. It should be developed in stead. Wikipedia has too little information about municipal heraldry, local constitutions and related subjects. Arms Jones (talk) 21:45, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

 * The rationale for merging the articles (not deleting) is that we don't (currently) have reliable sources which talk about this subject as a separate topic from London Borough of Haringey. It's possible that we might find some better sources that delve more deeply into the heraldic significance, designers, committee of approvers (etc), but there's nothing like this yet.
 * The Coat of Arms article provides very little information which is not already in the main LBH article: It begins with a reiteration of LBH's history. The bulk of the article (and the most reliable source) is a quote from LBH's own website. The article ends with a mention of the BBC's broadcasting history at Alexandra Palace which is actually expressed more clearly in the main LBH article. In summary the correct thing to do here is not to make an article about this small detail of LBH, but to use the best sources to improve the article. 80% of the reliably sourced material is already present here! --Salimfadhley (talk) 23:05, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Of course the article can and should be improved, like any article on Wikipedia. This encyclopaedia is never finished. So improve it, and don't go around suggesting mergers without thinking it through. The arms is not a "small detail", together with the name Haringey it is the most important thing identifying the borough as a legal subject. Arms Jones (talk) 23:36, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Arms Jones, I reject the accusation that I'm "suggesting mergers without thinking it through". If you read my previous comment carefully you'd understand that the reason for merging these articles is that apart from the quote, the new article duplicates the old one. On reflection, the article might better be a candidate for deletion since there's really nothing to merge! --Salimfadhley (talk) 02:05, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

 * No, it does not duplicate any old article. Also, when I say you are not thinking this through, it is because you seem not to understand the nature of heraldry and coats of arms, probably just seeing them as any replaceable ad logo. They are not. Now you are even suggesting a deletion of the article all together. What's the next step on your crusade? To remove the name Haringey from the headline of this article? What is it you want, really? Arms Jones (talk) 02:25, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

New logo
Haringey has a new logo. Unfortunately I don't seem to have permission to change the image in this article, nor can I upload it to this talk page (because I didn't create it). I do, however, have a SVG version of the new logo extracted from Haringey's 2015 brand deck which was released under FOI. How can I provide this file to somebody who is able to update the page?

Pronunciation / Respelling
I initially misunderstood the purpose of the spelling added. However, even though I now understand, it's still not clear to the everyday reader without looking at the link. Making this edit only adds to the already widespread confusion about the difference between Haringey and Harringay. Given the value this edit adds compared to the everyday real-life issue with the confusion between the two differently spelt entities, in my view this change is unhelpful and helps further the confusion. Therefore I'd suggest that it is abandoned. HughJLF (talk) 14:08, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Deciduous teeth

Deciduous teeth or primary teeth, also informally known as baby teeth, milk teeth, or temporary teeth, are the first set of teeth in the growth and development of humans and other diphyodonts, which include most mammals but not elephants, kangaroos, or manatees, which are polyphyodonts. Deciduous teeth develop during the embryonic stage of development and erupt (break through the gums and become visible in the mouth) during infancy. They are usually lost and replaced by permanent teeth, but in the absence of their permanent replacements, they can remain functional for many years into adulthood.

Formation
Primary teeth start to form during the embryonic phase of human life. The development of primary teeth starts at the sixth week of tooth development as the dental lamina. This process starts at the midline and then spreads back into the posterior region. By the time the embryo is eight weeks old, there are ten buds on the upper and lower arches that will eventually become the primary (deciduous) dentition. These teeth will continue to form until they erupt in the mouth. In the primary dentition, there are a total of twenty teeth: five per quadrant and ten per arch. The eruption of these teeth ("teething") typically begins around the age of six months and continues until 25–33 months of age during the primary dentition period. Usually, the first teeth seen in the mouth are the mandibular central incisors and the last are the maxillary second molars.

The primary teeth are made up of central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, first molars, and second molars; there is one in each quadrant, making a total of four of each tooth. All of these are gradually replaced by similarly named permanent counterparts except for the primary first and second molars; they are replaced by premolars.

The erupting permanent teeth cause root resorption, where the permanent teeth push on the roots of the primary teeth, causing the roots to be dissolved by odontoclasts (as well as surrounding alveolar bone by osteoclasts) and become absorbed by the forming permanent teeth. The process of shedding primary teeth and their replacement by permanent teeth is called tooth exfoliation; normally without pain or bleeding. This may last from six to twelve years of age. By age thirteen, there usually are only permanent teeth remaining. However, it is not extremely rare for one or more primary teeth to be retained beyond this age, sometimes well into adulthood, often because its secondary tooth failed to develop.

Function
Primary teeth are essential in the development of the mouth. The primary teeth maintain the arch length within the jaw, the bone and the permanent teeth replacements develop from the same tooth germs as the primary teeth. The primary teeth provide guidance for the eruption pathway of the permanent teeth. Also the muscles of the jaw and the formation of the jaw bones depend on the primary teeth to maintain proper spacing for permanent teeth. The roots of primary teeth provide a pathway for the permanent teeth to erupt. The primary teeth are important for the development of the child's speech, for the child's smile and play a role in chewing of food, although children who have had their primary teeth removed (usually as a result of dental caries or dental injuries) can still eat and chew to a certain extent.

Caries in deciduous teeth
Dental caries, also known as tooth decay and cavities, is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among children worldwide. This oral condition involves bacterial infection which demineralizes and destroys tooth tissues. In primary dentition, extensive tooth decay is the most common dental disease. An extensive carious lesion affects at least half of a tooth and possibly involves the pulp.

Treatment for caries
Tooth decay in primary teeth tends to progress quite quickly and often reaches the pulp of the tooth. In cases of extensive tooth decay, the pulp must be treated to maintain the health of the tooth and its supporting tissues. In pulp therapy, areas of decay and infected pulp tissue are removed, then the pulp is sealed with medicaments.

Medicaments are medications placed over the pulp to maintain survival and promote repair. Treatment options include:
 * Indirect pulp capping (IPC)
 * Direct pulp capping (DPC)
 * Pulpotomy
 * Pulpectomy

Indirect pulp capping (IPC) is a treatment that leaves the deepest carious tooth material (dentin) next to the pulp undisrupted to avoid exposing the pulp. The caries-affected dentin is covered with a biocompatible medicament to form a seal over the tooth. Medicaments used in IPC include calcium hydroxide and alternates including bonding agents and liners.

Direct pulp capping (DPC) is a treatment performed when a pin-point or small pulp exposure of 1mm or less occurs after removal of carious tooth material (dentin) excavation. The pulp is covered with a medicament. This technique has limited use when pulp is exposed due to injury but is generally not accepted  for managing carious pulp exposures in primary teeth, as it has been shown to have limited success. Medicaments used in DPC include calcium hydroxide and alternates such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).

Pulpotomy is a treatment performed on a primary tooth with extensive decay without involving pulp in the root canal (radicular pulp) (Cochrane). The entire coronal pulp is removed and the radicular pulp bleeding is stopped. The remaining radicular pulp is treated with a medicament. Pulpotomy is the most frequently used vital pulp therapy technique for deep dental caries in primary teeth. Medicaments used in pulpotomy include commonly formocresol, MTA and ferric sulfates and less commonly sodium hypochlorite, calcium hydroxide, and tricalcium silicate.

Pulpectomy is a treatment performed on a primary tooth with extensive decay and involving pulp in the root canal (radicular pulp with irreversible pulpitis or necrosis). The radicular pulp is removed, the pulp canals are filled with a medicament, and a filling is put on the tooth. Medicaments used in pulpectomy include resorbable materials so that they will undergo resorption (dissolution) along with the primary tooth root to allow for proper tooth loss (exfoliation) and replacement with permanent successor teeth.

Preformed crowns
Decayed primary teeth can be restored with a fitted crown. This can be made from a variety of different materials and attached using a range of methods. A common one used amongst children with caries is a preformed metal crown (PMC). This type of crown is pressed over a decayed tooth without any preparation, local anaesthetic or caries removal, also termed the Hall technique. Studies have shown that more dental practitioners prefer conventional fillings as opposed to PMC’s. However, studies have shown that the risk of both major and minor failures along with pain in the long term was comparatively lower using PMCs as opposed to conventional restorations. Patients who had crowns fitted using the Hall technique also experienced noticeably less discomfort at the time of the appointment, relative to fillings.

However, the populations studied were limited to fit and healthy children, and additional research into the tolerance and outcomes of this treatment needs to be done for children with special needs.

Medicaments used in pulp treatment
After direct pulp capping, it is unclear whether any one medicament is superior.

After pulpotomy, MTA is the most effective medicament and formocresol is also effective. Both are more effective than calcium hydroxide, which is more likely to fail. While there are concerns about the toxicity of formocresol, currently there are no reports of toxicity related to formocresol use for vital pulp therapies in children. An undesirable effect of treatment with MTA is the grey discoloration of treated teeth, but this effect is purely esthetic and does not affect the success of pulp treatment.

For pulpectomy, it is unclear whether any one medicament is superior. Zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) may be the best choice for filling in the root canals after pulpectomy in primary teeth, but more evidence is needed to confirm the superiority. ZOE is effective, inexpensive, and reasonably safe for use in children.

Treatment recommendations
It is unclear which pulp therapy (i.e. IPC, DPC, pulpotomy, pulpectomy) is the most effective, as there are no studies directly comparing these treatment options. The success rates are similar amongst the various therapies. The choice of therapy should be made based on the removal of caries-affected dentin, whether there is a pulp exposure, adverse effects, clinical expertise, and patient preference.

Society and culture
In almost all European languages the primary teeth are called "baby teeth" or "milk teeth". In the United States and Canada, the term "baby teeth" is common. In some Asian countries they are referred to as "fall teeth" since they will eventually fall out.

Although shedding of a milk tooth is predominantly associated with positive emotions such as pride and joy by the majority of the children, socio-cultural factors (such as parental education, religion or country of origin) affect the various emotions children experience during the loss of their first primary tooth.

Various cultures have customs relating to the loss of deciduous teeth. In English-speaking countries, the tooth fairy is a popular childhood fiction that a fairy rewards children when their baby teeth fall out. Children typically place a tooth under their pillow at night or on a bedside table. The fairy is said to take the tooth and replace it with money or small gifts while they sleep. In some parts of Australia, Sweden and Norway, the children put the tooth in a glass of water. In medieval Scandinavia there was a similar tradition, surviving to the present day in Iceland, of tannfé, a gift to a child when it cuts its first tooth. In Nigeria, the Igbo in a similar custom expect a visiting relative or guest to make a gift or donation to an infant upon the visitor's sighting of the infant's deciduous teeth. Hausa culture has it that a child with a fallen tooth should not let a lizard see the toothless gum because if a lizard does see it, no tooth will grow in its place.

Other traditions are associated with mice or other rodents because of their sharp, everlasting teeth. The character Ratón Pérez appears in the tale of The Vain Little Mouse. A Ratoncito Pérez was used by Colgate in marketing toothpaste in Venezuela and Spain. In Italy, the Tooth Fairy (Fatina) is also often replaced by a small mouse (topino), or by Saint Apollonia, patron saint of tooth complaints. In France and in French-speaking Belgium, this character is called la petite souris. From parts of lowland Scotland comes a tradition similar to the fairy mouse: a white fairy rat who purchases the teeth with coins. In Afrikaans speaking families in South Africa, children leave their teeth in a shoe so that the Tandemuis (Tooth Mouse) can replace the teeth with money.

Several traditions concern throwing the shed teeth. In Turkey, Cyprus, and Greece, children traditionally throw their fallen baby teeth onto the roof of their house while making a wish. Similarly, in some Asian countries, such as India, Korea, Nepal, the Philippines, and Vietnam, when a child loses a tooth, the usual custom is that they should throw it onto the roof if it came from the lower jaw, or into the space beneath the floor if it came from the upper jaw. While doing this, the child shouts a request for the tooth to be replaced with the tooth of a mouse. This tradition is based on the fact that the teeth of mice grow for their entire lives, a characteristic of all rodents.

In Japan, a different variation calls for lost upper teeth to be thrown straight down to the ground and lower teeth straight up into the air or onto the roof of a house; the idea is that incoming teeth will grow in straight. Some parts of China follow a similar tradition by throwing the teeth from the lower jaw onto the roof and burying the teeth from the upper jaw underground, as a symbol of urging the permanent teeth to grow faster towards the right direction.

The Sri Lanka, tradition is to throw the baby teeth onto the roof or a tree in the presence of an Indian palm squirrel. The child then tells the squirrel to take the old tooth in return for a new one.

In some parts of India, young children offer their discarded baby teeth to the sun, sometimes wrapped in a tiny rag of cotton turf. In the Assam state of India, children throw their baby teeth to the roof of their house and urge a mouse to take it, to exchange with its teeth (permanent ones). Something similar occurs in the Dominican Republic where children will throw their baby teeth to the roof of a house with a thatched roof and ask a mouse to take it and replace it with a new (permanent) tooth (but not its own).

The tradition of throwing a baby tooth up into the sky to the sun playfully asking for a better tooth to replace it is common in Middle Eastern countries (including Iraq, Jordan, Egypt and Sudan). It may originate in a pre-Islamic offering and certainly dates back to at least the 13th century, when Izz bin Hibat Allah Al Hadid mentions it.

In 17th and again in 19th century Britain, lost teeth were commonly burnt to destroy them. This was partly for religious reasons connected with the Last Judgement and partly for fear of what might happen if an animal got them. A rhyme might be said as a blessing:  Old tooth, new tooth Pray God send me a new tooth

Talk:British E-class submarine

I don't see how it can be correct to refer to these vessels as HMS/HMAS_____, as in the links in the article. The E/AE- numbers are pennant/serial numbers. I have just moved the Australian ones to "Australian submarine AE1" and "Australian submarine AE1".Grant65 (Talk) 10:51, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * The naming convention is at Naming conventions (ships) and has been discussed on the talk page. "H.M. Submarine" was not an uncommon form, see the citation for Martin Eric Nasmith and the caption for Commons:Image:HMS E11 crew photo.jpg.  The Australian War Memorial uses HMAS AE2.  The AE1 and AE2 articles must be getting dizzy by now, they've been moved back and forth that many times. Geoff/Gsl 11:15, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Stub?
This article might be long, but it's pretty thin. Most of it is just a list of the E-class submarines, while the only real info is in the beginning of the article.

For example, the article mentions that improvements were made to class, but not what was improved, or how.

I'm not certain of the rules for a stub though (and too lazy right now to look them up), so if any of you agree with me that this should be a stub article, feel free to add the correct template.--Wolf of Thor (talk) 03:23, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Identification issue outside my expertise
The Seawar Museum in Jutland has a conning tower that they identify as belonging to E-50, which they describe as being lost on 31 January 1916 after hitting a mine. E50 had apparently not been launched by then, and this article on the class has no vessel lost on that day. Here is a link to the Danish website (in English), with a picture of the conning tower: http://www.seawarmuseum.dk/en/U-50-forside-historie Acad Ronin (talk) 12:44, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Discrepancy between text and model
The image of the model of the E-class submarine appears to show two guns (one forward, one aft), but the text describes only one gun implemented, and only for Groups 2 and 3. I looked at images for all E-class subs and found no aft guns for any. 2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D (talk) 04:36, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Performance/History
Considering the final disposition of each of the boats in this class of submarine, I can't say I would call this fleet of British subs "successful". Many were sunk or destroyed or otherwise lost. Ships destroyed or tonnage lost to adversaries is missing in most cases. Compared to the German sub force, IMO this E-class was a failure. I'm not a historian, but I gather this from just reading the WP articles of the history of each boat deployed of this series. I'd rather hear more from others more familiar with this series on the issue of performance versus their adversaries. 2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D (talk) 04:47, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Will you please clarify this so that I can make my choice. Alternatively you may suggest how I can retrieve my earlier history of these two SUL accounts with global name Guglani1 and Guglani--Guglani1 (talk) 12:20, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Gugliani renamed to Gugliani (2005-2007) ***locally only***, Gugliani1 renamed to Gugliani, then Special:MergeAccount to attach the new Gugliani to your global account. Pa.w, etc remain unaffected and part of the existing global account. – xeno talk 13:48, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * In fact accounts named as Guglani at various wiki projects including home wiki at pa.wiki should get attached to renamed Guglani account at en.wiki . In the special merge link you have shown accounts named as Guglani1 at various other wiki projects get attached. I think you will confirm this aspect so that I do not loose contributions with name Guglani on other wiki projects. Although it may look I am asking same question again but it is just to confirm, because I think whole process is irreversible.pl be patient to answer so that I can exercise my choice carefully.otherwise I can tolerate two accounts accounts Guglani1 with no SUL facility and a local account and Guglani name with home account at pa.wiki and other wiki project accounts attached to this Guglani account for SUL facility. Please suggest what is best choice for me from your point of view. -Guglani1 (talk) 15:10, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes once Gugliani1 is renamed to Gugliani you will be able to attach it to the pa and other wiki accounts, those will be entirely unchanged. My suggestion is to proceed as it will be much more convenient for you and there will be no loss of contributions. – xeno talk 19:05, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * thanks!please note name spellings it is Guglani and not Gugliani.--Guglani1 (talk) 00:39, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Punjabi University, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Balbir Singh. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:56, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Notice
Hello,

It has come to my attention that there is a reasonable possibility that you were made aware of a Request for Comment on the Punjabi language article talk page through an off-Wikipedia email list. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow individuals to selectively notify individuals with the intent of influencing the outcome of a discussion in a particular way. Individuals who receive such emails are encouraged to disregard the contents of the message and leave a message on the individual’s talk page to stop engaging in such activities. Users who are found to engage in further canvassing may be brought to the attention of the administrators’ noticeboard. This may result in sanctions, including revocation of editing privileges. It should be noted that request for comments are closed based upon the merits of the comments presented and whether or not they draw upon Wikipedia policies and utilize reliable, third-party sources to support their statements. The discussion is not a vote, so the closure will not be decided based upon the number of individuals who support a particular side. I hope that this message helps enlighten you on our policies. If you have any questions about these policies, please feel free to reach me on my user talk page. Best regards, Mike V  •  Talk  20:35, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello! It is surprising that I am being cautioned as a result of accusation raised by user: Anupam for having been canvassed for discussions on talk page of Punjabi Language.My reply is as under:

I have a long editing history at wikipedia projects including commons, English wiki ,Punjabi wiki and so on. i watch articles on subjects like Punjabi culture, Punjabi language, science engineering so many others and have kept many pages on my watch list since long.I have great respect for Five paillars for wikipedia and its policies.To prove my long association look here [here]Proof of my part in discussion of my own is further her: I had edited File:Punjabi Language in August 1983, left a note on its talk page not to revert since 26.08.2013 see [here].all along these pages were on my watch list.My edit was reverted without discussion on talk page by user:Stemoc and it was encouraged by user:Anupam. User Anupam further raised Rfc after his false accusation on user Babanwalia for removal of some source ,proved wrong ,he only reposioned source,look [here]. I have given reply to accusation of Anupam on sockpuppetry page look [here].I have been commenting on page even when before even Rfc was raised by Anupam, then how I could be suspected for having been canvassed to take part in discussion just because I have quoted numerous reliable sources on relevant discussion pages, against an argument of user:Anupam supported with sources by Anupam which are book reference of a single author Tej.K. Bhatia "Punjabi is written primarily in three scripts:Gurmukhi ,Perso Arabic, and Devanagri,Sikhs often write Punjabi in Gurmukhi ,Hindus in Devanagri, and Muslims in Perso-Arabic Shahmukhi" or pages written in other books by same author.It amounts to a single source, whereas it has already been shown with sources in my comments, comment no. 4 look [here] on relevant talk page that,the same Author in his own another book  writes contradictory lines to  "Punjabi exhibits religion based liguistic differentiations in employment of script and vocabulary.Hindus and Sikhs generalluy use Gurmukhi script,but thes days Hidus have also begun to use the Devnagri script used for Hindi" Now loosing arguments Anupam starts using accusations being himself  partial in his views he is placing his comments in CHECk user,administrators space,and thus influencing Rfc.I consider my duty to maintain wikipedia WP:Five Pillars including Neutrality, which are above all policies. Suitable note should be taken by reviewers and such users on opposite side of Rfc should also be cautioned who try to influence their view by such tactics of false accusations.--Guglani (talk) 05:33, 27 November 2014 (UTC)--Guglani (talk) 06:57, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gcziko. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gcziko~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject/Inappropriate projects

=Never mind= This page has not attracted much debate, unlike some of the projects mentioned herein. That is probably a good thing, as it seems to indicate there is no central problem with WikiProjects. It is recommended that if a project is deemed controversial, it should be taken to WP:RFC.

Inappropriate projects
Most WikiProjects are maintained by dedicated and hard-working people who effort to improve Wikipedia. A group of interested and knowledgeable people band together to improve quality, quantity and consistency of information on a certain topic.

However, a (very small) number of WikiProjects are controversial to some amount, and some users claim that they are inappropriate. Usually this is because said projects are alleged to be POV-pushing, alleged to attract personal attacks, or alleged to run counter to the spirit of the Wiki.

Additionally, a small number of WikiProjects are kept in Userspace. While this seems harmless to many, some people argue that the WikiProject philosophy (where every contribution is welcomed), conflicts with the Userspace philosophy (where the owning user may decide what to keep and what to remove). Some users have been alleged to unilaterally remove select contributions from the WikiProject in their userspace.

Discussion
It would be useful to get feedback and consensus on these WikiProjects. In particular, consider the following questions,
 * 1) Is there such a thing as an inappropriate WikiProject? If it is misguided? If it is in bad faith? Can one conceivably exist if none presently exist?
 * 2) If so, how is a project determined to be inappropriate? Consensus is obviously required; is this an RfC matter? An ArbCom matter? Do we need a new procedure?
 * 3) Should an inappropriate WikiProject be left alone? Should its usage be discouraged? Should it be deleted?
 * 4) May WikiProjects reside in userspace? If so, what rules should apply to them? If not, should we rename them to mainspace? Or delete them?

Please discuss these matters on the talk page.

Examples
These are WikiProjects that were recently nominated on Votes for deletion. This does not imply that these projects are inappropriate, but from the resulting discussion it is obvious that they are controversial. Several people have pointed out that VfD should not decide on these matters.
 * Votes for deletion/FACTS (project in both userspace and mainspace on creationism, alleged to be POV-pushing, presently deleted)
 * Votes for deletion/GRider/Schoolwatch (userspace project on schools, openly non-neutral (pro-inclusionist) and allegedly used for vote stacking, mainspace Watch/schoolwatch has been proposed as an NPOV alternative.)
 * Votes_for_deletion/WikiProject_Rankings (project on ranking users by accomplishment, alleged potential attack magnet, project starters seem to be considering dropping it)
 * If you know of more examples, and have evidence of controversiality, feel free to add it.
 * Nudity portal

Semi-related

 * Votes_for_deletion/Sam_Spade/Detective_agency (not a WikiProject, but a userspace project on gathering evidence for RfC/RfAr cases, that recently survived a VfD; it's listed here for completeness sake, as another kind of project that should not be VfD'ed)

Proposed policy
These proposals are a draft. They are NOT being voted upon. Please discuss them, and their wording, on the talk page.
 * There are no proposals yet. This should be discussed first on the talk page.

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Coming out. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. gnu 57 12:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
