I was wondering what the stand is on posting specific information on a page. I just recently wrote out a lengthy article about each of the endings for Chrono Trigger on the Chrono Trigger page. Someone brought it up to me that they belong in a guide. I can see how they would go in a guide but would something like this be allowed?

Sure. They could be in a walkthrough, sure, but story-related elements are fine on the page, I say. Shouldn't this be in Editing?

yeah, story-related things on a games page is fine, I don't see why it would belong in a guide. Just put it under the Story section.

... that's something you need to report. It's not his decision to delete that. What a douchebag. It's perfectly fine to have that stuff on the Wiki. He should have gone to the moderators or asked the public.

Yeah, that's kinda a dick move on his part, and in fact, HE'S abusing the system, not you, if he's deleting legitimate edits.

How am I abusing the system if I don't gain a point from deleting that? I felt that it was in the wrong place, it wasn't well-written, and it was rather opinionated in places.

your abusing the system by deleting someone elses hard work. I dont see how it was opinionated. All I stated was stuff like you need to have beaten x dungeon before receiving y ending, thats not opinionated thats just facts. i don't see how it wasn't well-written when it took me forever to do.

It wasn't in the wrong place, and it's not your place to decide whether or not it is. You take questions like that to the Editing and Tools board. As for being subjective instead of objective, you could *easily* edit that out in 5 minutes. I do that to pages all the time. It's quick and painless. You don't go deleting someone's entire write-up unless you intend to replace it. That's just a dick move.

First, I didn't know who it was until after I had deleted it. Second, I would have preferred to completely start over; it takes much less effort on my part.

It happens. I have had countless long articles deleted, forcing me to rewrite them. I said some parts; only a few small tidbits of it.

Having your articles deleted wrongly before is not grounds for making it common practice to others. That's a stupid reason.

if you intended on replacing it how come from the begining of our pm conversation you accused me of abusing the wiki and saying it doesn't belong on the page but a guide instead.

As I have already stated, it wasn't very well-written. I read over it, it wasn't very well-written. For me, it takes much less effort to completely rewrite something than to go through and find every single little mistake.

All right, maybe I should have. Normally I do things in bursts--several short edits slowly amassing into a larger article over the course of time that it requires.

How was it not very well-written? I saw no problems with it, and I thought you just corrected yourself saying only tidbits then going to the whole thing wasn't very well-written?

I meant that only tidbits were opinionated. I saw punctuation and grammar errors aplenty. Maybe you didn't notice them, but I did.

LOL if there were any (maybe there were, everyone makes mistakes) they couldn't have been that much. And nothing was opinionated again still doesn't give you the right to delete someone else hard work. its up to mods.

Geez man, I am seriously sorry about deleting that. I just don't get why you're making such a big deal out of it. If it is any compensation, I will be rewriting that section.

Well. I think I'm done. StarFox admitted he was probably wrong to delete it outright like that, but MasturbatingBear's general writing quality is definitely subpar. I've reached a crossroads of opinions that I cannot decide between. Have fun, kids.

So I do hard work and you decide to delete it and re-do it so you get the points? Somethings wrong with this picture, seeing as you did say you thought it didn't belong, then you change it to"ill do it myself" also haven't you all along been saying stuff like Im gonna pass you on the Chrono Trigger page?

I said that that was a little joke rivalry thing that I had going on. I wasn't serious. I'm not sure if it would be allowed, but maybe I could rewrite it, PM it to you, and then let you paste it into the article in the appropriate area.

That's what I assumed. You want justice; you want me to be banned from wiki, or to lose points.

If we're looking for an example of what belongs in a guide, the list of heart containers and seashells on this page belongs in a guide.

Stuff about branching endings does not.

That is all. Good day sirs.

Isn't that part of what GiantBomb is? It is essentially a video game Wikipedia. Your work will get deleted occasionally. Now, I'm not saying that it is necessarily correct (I was a bit rash in the deletion of your section). Re-doing others' work, however, is a part of what this site is. Since there are so many people, it's like a large group of editors, all correcting mistakes or rewriting sections. In this case I felt it was necessary to rewrite that section because it wasn't very well-written in the first place. That sounds more like contribution than point farming to me.

I regularly erase or completely re-work paragraphs leaving nothing but the framework set down by the previous writer behind, whether it's for being too opinionated in the article or just plain readability issues. It's a frequent problem on the wiki and it's a legitimite practice to do so. It would have been better for him to A. tell you that he'd be re-writing it, or B. delete and re-write it in one edit, and not bother telling anybody. He didn't really do either of those things. If he *does* replace the content, I don't see a problem with it. (although you might want to keep your editing stuff private, Fox ;-) )

Alright, I think the conflicit is resolved MB. Wait, I can't call you that. MasturbatingBear, sorry. Anyway, we get it. I think he gets it, too. He made a mistake and it sucks that you lost a lot of shit, he shouldn't have deleted it. But what's there to do now?

I regularly erase or completely re-work paragraphs leaving nothing but the framework set down by the previous writer behind, whether it's for being too opinionated in the article or just plain readability issues. It's a frequent problem on the wiki and it's a legitimite practice to do so. It would have been better for him to A. tell you that he'd be re-writing it, or B. delete and re-write it in one edit, and not bother telling anybody. He didn't really do either of those things. If he *does* replace the content, I don't see a problem with it. (although you might want to keep your editing stuff private, Fox ;-) )"
The problem is my writing was good and useful, so he didn't need to re-do it, also he is just trying to gain more points...

Y'know, if StarFoxA is going to re-write the section, then I see no problem here. Fact of the matter is, if he can write it much better than the way MasturbatingBear did, then it's completely justified.

So, just because you believe your own writing was acceptable, means that everyone else will find it acceptable? That's not how it works.

Where did your assumption that I'm "just trying to gain more points" come from?

The problem is that *you* see your writing as good and useful, but in all likelihood it had a lot of room for improvement, as StarFoxA pointed out. You're accusing him of having motives that (I'm pretty sure) don't exist. Nobody cares about points (beyond passive "hmm... I have this many!") beyond 5,000.
