Not trying to ruin the happiness here but shouldn't that wiki page if made, be like all the other ones and telling a short history on the user or account from a neutral third person point of view?
I don't know how to make Wiki pages. I have no idea what Ice Dragon is looking for from me. I have absolutely no clue how to write a Wiki page!
- The Great One wanted a Page for his Interviewer series and I told him that after I ascertained that it was what we considered Notable, we would make one some day. As we are doing a project on what is considered Notable (ie important enough to have a Page on Wikigrounds) I asked him to put in his opinion on this subject and directed him to the relevent place to put the info.
I thought that since he picked people whom he considered important enough to interview, his view would be relevent here.
Unfortunately, I appear not have made myself clear- he has told me about the Interviewer as if I asked for info for that Page and talked as if I was asking him to write a Page, when I directed him to a Talk page (where you write notes about a Page subject).
On Wikigrounds, although we think it is OK to write on ones Page, it must be written in 3rd person and in a balanced, encyclopedic way. Little-Rena created her/his own Page and Wade Fulp edited his own Page- in each case I altered the edits into a more encyclopedic style. We may use quotations from TGO's text here in a quote on WikiG.
This notability thing is SO important: SCTE3- you are a regular here and I believe you drop into Wikigrounds now and then- would you care to jot down a couple of ideas on the subject- How would you define notable:
Flash Crews?
Notable Art in the Portal?
Notable Audio Tracks?
What things and people are just momentary fads and what things should be recorded, studied, explained on Wikigrounds Pages?
Let me establish some basics-
Tom Fulp IS a notable User. IceDragon64 is NOT because he is not that important/famous/significant- nobody wants to read about him -but what about people in between-
Is WinchesterLock? Is Aksumka? Is Little-Rena? Is Fire? Is Salnax?
how do you define this difference?
Teh Clock Crew IS a notable Flash Crew. The Comet Crew is NOT - it was a moment's joke.
Are the Noob Nation? Are the Dragons & Spirits? Are the Soup Squad? Where should we draw the line?
David Orr IS notable as a NG musician. Afro Ninja is NOT (though he has a Page for other reasons). Who else is? How do we define this?
This should not be about one persons oppinion "I think he is a great flash artist, so I will make a Page". It is about "People will want this Page. People would expect us to have this Page. This subject is what people will generally accept as among the most important subjects on Newgrounds"- so NO- I don't have a Page!
