From LGPedia
Modelmotion, there's no reason for you to take this personally. I honestly don't understand why you're so upset, or what you feel is "heavy-handed." This wiki is a community effort, it's not your personal playground. Sometimes people disagree about how something should appear, and when that happens we have to discuss it. Please calm down.--JayHenry 20:44, 15 November 2006 (PST)
- Well it is how I feel. I put a lot of effort into LG and while i feel you have the best intentions and actually make intelligent comments I feel at times that the pedia is taking itself a bit too seriously. We want to have fun.....we want to contribute. I totally understand your desire to make it the bet LGpedia that it can be, but if that requires crushing the spirit of a fan like me then I think you are missing the entire point. Free will is a central issue in LG. I dont believe in censorship and that beginning to happen more and more in the chats. Control can be a friend but it can also be the demon within. Just ask the participants in the Standford Prision experiment. I think i provide a pretty good solution by moving many of the locations off the main page. I went thru each of the pages and improved the content to better reflect what i think it should be. I think the use of pictures if very helpful in telling the story thru locations...........but thats as far as I am willing to go.
The pages say they are up for deletion. They give no indication of when or how the process works . When you say there is not information to justify the page you are directly challenging my desire for the page to exist so of course I am going to get upset.--modelmotion 20:58, 15 November 2006 (PST)
- Modelmotion, please calm down. I'm not going to post on this any further tonight, so you have some time to calm down and sleep on this. Look, here's a story: I designed the templates that we used in the old videos. I really liked that template. TWJaniak came along and designed a new template. Although I prefered the old template, TWJaniak's template was better organized and others liked it. Instead of throwing a temper tantrum, I posted my objection, but then I went along with the wishes of the community. Nobody was "censoring" me, we simply disagreed. That's all part of the process of working on a wiki. When editors disagree, we have to be able to discuss it calmly. Threatening to quit if you don't get your way is not the way decisions are made.--JayHenry 21:24, 15 November 2006 (PST)
