Smasher talk:Salem
New Jersey and other states
There is currently a red link one this page for New Jersey. I removed it, and the edit got undone. I would like to know why New Jersey, or any other state/province/country, needs it own page on this wiki. Sure, it has a lot of professional smashers from the area, but is that really relevant enough for its own page? Unless I'm overlooking other reasons. Ac2k 18:23, 14 February 2013 (EST)

- I don't see individual states articles as an especially good idea. We have categories for smashers by state, and the power rankings of each state, but the city itself? Just link to Wikipedia, SmashWiki shouldn't have to teach geography because Smashers own houses. Toast

New York/New Jersey is recognised as its own region (and as the best region in the world), and we have articles on Smash regions. New Jersey should logically be a redirect link to that article when it exists. Omega Tyrant

- We have lists of Power Rankings in regions, but do we really need an article about a state? Remember that this is SmashWiki, not Wikipedia. Ac2k 21:13, 14 February 2013 (EST)
- This is about Smash regions, which have information about their smash history, smashers in the area, tournaments held there, etc. This is not about the states themselves, so enough with the "we're not Wikipedia" shit. Omega Tyrant

- Then call it "List of notable Smash activity in New Jersey" or something like that, not "New Jersey." Ac2k 21:21, 14 February 2013 (EST)

OF FURY 21:33, 14 February 2013 (EST) - The region is "New York/New Jersey", and the articles are about the regions, which are referred to by their respective names. We don't need such a long and unnecessary title for them. Omega Tyrant 21:41, 14 February 2013 (EST)
- New York/Jersey is vague and can refer to a very wide range of things. If we call it New York/New Jersey, I'm sure we'll be spending a lot of time reverting people's edits about non-Smash related information. Just have "New York/New Jersey" redirect to "List of Smash activity in New York/New Jersey." And also, look at the long titles of articles such as List of cutscenes in the Subspace Emissary and List of regional version differences (SSB). There's no simpler way to write it without sacrificing clarity, and it's the same case here. Ac2k 22:09, 14 February 2013 (EST)

- In case you haven't notice, we're the SmashWiki, edited by smashers, who use Smash terminology. "New York/New Jersey" is recognised by competitive smashers as a Smash region, and casuals who may not be yet in tuned with competitive stuff will see it's such an article when they read it. Users are not going to mistake it as a general article about those states, and there's nothing vague about it in the scope of Smash.

Reporting accurate information
We should be free to write about Salem starting drama between smashers and the communities. I proposed an edit twice but it got removed both times. Was my information not accurate? This scumbag needs to be held responsible for his ridiculous claims just as much as anyone else. My edit deserves to stay. It's exactly what he said.
