also, stop deleting pages that simply need clean-up.

:I would've said the same thing about the cloud page when I first came to SmashWiki, but since doing so, I've been surprised at how pervasive the phenomenon is, with players all across Canada and down into some of the northern states like Pennsylvania. When I went to [[TransCanada Tournament|TransCanada]] to meet and network with a variety of community players, it was actually quite remarkable how well the name had stuck within smaller communities. Hehe, I mean, ultimately I don't care one way or another about the article, but to delete it when there's piles and piles of more important work to be done is just unnecessary policing of an unwritten policy. There's something to be said for the character and lifeblood of the global smash community when certain bits of unofficial lingo catch on like that. It represent a unique wholeness of common interest that I feel deserves to be documented. :^) | :I would've said the same thing about the cloud page when I first came to SmashWiki, but since doing so, I've been surprised at how pervasive the phenomenon is, with players all across Canada and down into some of the northern states like Pennsylvania.

:And believe me, I ''wish'' I could delete pages that "simply need cleanup", but alas, all I can do is mark them for deletion and then have to deal with the comments from the authors who take it personally when the material isn't pertinent to an encyclopedia. -- <font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 23:25, October 14, 2007 (EDT) | :And believe me, I ''wish'' I could delete pages that "simply need cleanup", but alas, all I can do is mark them for deletion and then have to deal with the comments from the authors who take it personally when the material isn't pertinent to an encyclopedia. -- <font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 23:25, October 14, 2007 (EDT) |
