Article scope - major cleanout[edit]

I came here in response to the copyedit tag, but find that this article has totally lost it's purpose. This should just be telling us about what sign-on is, not listing a billion and one examples of it. Given that it nearly entirely violates WP:NOR and tends to be WP:UNENC, as well as much of it being poorly written and frankly tedious, I would say 90% of it needs to be summarised then deleted. I'm sure someone started in good faith long ago adding a couple of examples, and I'm sure the later additions have also been in good faith, but these examples have now swelled to compose basically the entire article. At best this info should be put in a list called something like "List of sign-on procedures", but I'm not convinced we need that either. If you want to discuss, please do so below, otherwise I'm probably going to go through in the next day or so with a very big broom. --jjron (talk) 06:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Huge clean-up done. Just a reminder here not to re-add all this trivia. If you're even vaguely considering it, then it needs to be referenced per WP:VERIFIABILITY. I will also leave a hidden internal note at the top of the article. --jjron (talk) 10:44, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article is really excellent now and just about perfect (except for the hard-to-fill request for some source, so one can get rid of that box at the top), as well as useful and efficient. After you go through all the work to get "sign-off" in the same shape, Wikipedia will have a really nice complementary pair of articles. Regards, Remotelysensed (talk) 09:22, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
