Misplaced Pages

Mucky Pup

Having dropped in to see what was going on with this recently AfD'd article, I took a look at the article history, and I'd like to suggest that you take a break from editing this article for a couple of days. Let it be, find something else to work on, let the Wikistress levels die down. I know that you want to make Misplaced Pages a better encyclopedia, and I am certain that you will continue to do so.

I've left a similar suggestion to MikeWazowski, because I think it's a good idea for him to take a brief break, too. Not being much of a music fan, or Bloom County fan, I am just sort of looking at this from a distance, and I believe that a few days of benign neglect might improve perspectives all round.

• That's an understandable solution. My problem is the fact that he feels the need to be 100% right or not at all. While I haven't agreed with every deletion he's made, I've accepted most of them and moved on. In fact, I'm not even deleting his line, which I agree was a good point. I'm simply moving it to the appropriate section. Before the incident, he removed one my opening sentences, claiming redundancy. After thinking it over, I agreed with his deletion but realized the previous line was also redundant. This is the line that he's throwing a hissyfit over. As far as putting the line in, in order to make it interesting to people, if they're visiting the entry, they already had an interest, or found it interesting enough to follow a link from another entry. All a introduction, for a band, needs, is a lineup (original or current works), a formation year and the location a band came from. Unless there are some extraordinary events, that the band were resposible for or part of, there's no need for some minor accomplishment, like winning a writing contest for a cartoon strip.

He then removes a factual line about the first bass player, not being an official member, because there's no specific reference listed. Not every band entry is going to have a reference regarding the official status of each member that passes through. Most of the information, that I've supplied in the entry, comes from a mixture of information off of the band's site and my own personal knowledge resulting from my friendship with the members.

Lastly, the fact that a person may have suggested an entry, that I submitted, be undeleted, does not mean I'm going to just accept the person poor changes.

I just wanted to state my case and make my point. Thanks. User:JohnBWatt 02:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
