 :::As for the rest of this proposal, I have to agree; people should be able to edit their own pages, just not be the ''only'' ones who edit it. Nor, for that matter, should they be the ones who get the final say in what info is and isn't on there (i.e., it wouldn't be acceptable for one to say "no, I don't want that info on my page" for no reason whatsoever).

 ::::I agree that we don't want them to be obsessively controlling over their page, but at the same time, there's a form of respect that needs to be involved. Take the Meredy example Crow used. As a human being, doesn't she have the right to deny the usage of her image in a public manner? I don't know that that was what was going on there, but it's something that could happen. Other Smasher pages have various forms of personal information on the Smasher listed; do the Smashers have the right to request the removal if they would prefer the article not to refer to their personal lives? A policy of this manner should, in my opinion, leave it open for us to respect the Smasher's wishes where reasonable. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].

+:::::I've said this twice now: ''There is absolutely nothing wrong with smashers editing their own pages''. Futhermore, any policy, if written, ''would make it clear that provided a conflict of interest or similar matter doesn't arise, players can freely edit their own articles''. The main thing I want to avoid, however, is smashers ''ignoring guidelines or subverting other editors because they believe the page is "their's''.
+:::::For the Meredy example, yes, she does have the right to ask us to remove various information from the page. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, the immediate removal of information without warning seems to suggest that the smasher in question, Meredy, believed she was at liberty to freely make significant changes without so much an edit summary, simply because the article was about her. This sort of editing is exactly why I want a policy on it: so that we have some degree of "insurance" if a smasher complains about how an article is their's.

+Bumping this, for great justice. I'll probably start a draft in the coming days, but some more input to help me out would be appreciated as well.

+:Go ahead and make your draft then. I'll give my input on any improvements that can be made, as well as my stance on the whole thing when that's done. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:12pt">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">King</span>]]'''</span> 01:52, 22 June 2017 (EDT)
