Line 11:
In addition to tropes, we also cover [[creators]] and their [[works]]. Works are any form of entertainment, be it a comic book, television show, or ancient epic poem.
 
All works are considered notable here. If a page is on the topic or entertainment and is publicly available, it is within the scope of this project. We used to have a page called [[We Are Not Wikipedia]]. I think it got moved to [[There Is No Such Thing Asas Notability]]. Honestly, we should move it again, because there are such things as notability and free lunch -- they're just not relevant here. [[Beowulf]] and [[My Immortal]] get equal coverage here, sadly.
 
Oddly enough, some ''tropes'' are not considered notable, such as [[People Sitting On Chairs]]. Yeah, that's [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. But if it's more than just some basic fact of human life being portrayed in the media, we want to trope it!
 
== Our Relationship to Wikipedia ==
Line 23:
It's also useful to used Wikipedia to get started on new pages (with proper attribution in the edit comment, natch). But the pages shouldn't stay looking like Wikipedia. We're here not to document a story, but to analyze its contents. This is a function of literary criticism.
 
And like all literary criticism, opinions are definitely tolerated. We do not enforce Neutral Point of View here, but instead support Multiple Points of View (MPOV). Keep in mind [[Values Dissonance]] -- the idea that others social norms may lead to different opinions than your own. While MPOV makes it a little more difficult to maintain order, we're a creative bunch and need space to discuss ideas and opinions. That doesn't mean blatantly false things get to stay, because we're not Conservapedia; if it's provably false, [[Kill It Withwith Fire]].
