Writing essays or original research

This faux pas has come up quite a bit recently. Shall we add a 9th item? --TribbleFurSuit 16:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Discussed previously at talk: MA:NOT. --Alan 17:03, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that, but it doesn't address my question. All the discussion there shows is that essay/O.R. definitely IS faux pas. What I'm asking here is: is it common enough to qualify listing here? I say: Hecks yes, especially lately. You know what else? For that matter, the MA:NOT page never got updated, even after a pretty clear consensus in that discussion that MA:NOT should have essays/OR listed there. Based on that discussion alone, I feel completely justified in going over there right now and correcting the oversight. --TribbleFurSuit 17:38, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
