[edit] Silver and gold

Great job, PeterL! I think this is definitely good enough for silver, probably gold as well, so I'll go ahead and set up a little vote. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 04:37, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

The separate notes/refs sections need to be fixed first. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 04:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Why? Picon small.pngAcer Blue 04:41, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
I'm not overly happy with the way that turned out, but they do need to be separate I think. Peter talk, or type, or whatever... 04:47, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
I've always thought it strange that we intermix notes and references. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 04:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
I'm just confused on why we need two separate types of footnotes. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 04:56, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Well one would be for supporting evidence and the other for commentary. Normally our articles toss them both together. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 04:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
I tried the 'lower-roman' thing here but it didn't work. Did I do something wrong or does it just not work on this wiki? Peter talk, or type, or whatever... 07:55, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
I agree that there is a need to differentiate footnotes(commentary) and references(sources). Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD memberModerator 08:25, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Gold

[edit] What it yet needs

While I do appreciate the support for going for Gold immediately after my expansion, there are a few things the article still lacks:

  • The history of the Institute - the purge(s) of non-flood supporters etc
  • The talks and things that the Institute does in real life, rather than just online
  • I believe they at least had a "creation museum" of their own - though it may just be a back room at their offices in Dallas
  • The "Some people who have contributed "research"" section could be expanded to include short bios of people we don't have proper articles for, and {{main}}'s for those we do

Additionally, some sections - eg the "K-12 blog," if it continues on it's interesting path - could maybe be taken out and put into their own articles, similarly to what happened to Ray Comfort in the effort to improve that article.

Anyway, that's why I said 'silver' and not 'gold.' It's exam season where I live, so I don't have as much free time as I have had, so I'm not in the position to do quite as much right at this moment - alot of that would require a degree of research beyond the 'just came my way' of the rest. I'll be back... Peter talk, or type, or whatever... 22:48, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
