Just some advice

I liked your proposed trope page, but you need to add more context to your examples.


In general, you seem to edit while leaking a lot of your personal feelings into things. We strive to keep an impartial tone here, and also, if you are going to make contentious edits on moral topics, I suggest you discuss them with other editors prior if it will come off contentious.


Wikis are crowd-sourced projects, and we'd prefer to avoid disputes and upset where we can, so please do this before similar incidents in the future.

On the contrary: I REMOVED personal feelings from the one page that I've edited here.

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

Thanks for your reply. There was a disagreement on that by another editor. I suggest you, in a civil and reasonable manner, discuss the matter with the party in question to avoid future conflict. In fact, to avoid edit warring, either real or potential, I, and I say this as an admin, will insist on it.

While most of the proposed edit does update a lot of outdated information, YMMV (i.e. - opinions) do NOT belong on non-YMMV pages. On YMMV, vent your spleen regarding opinions, but non-YMMV pages should stick to facts, no matter how disagreeable they may be.


Update: I rejected the proposed edit. Try again, but keep your personal dislike out of it and report the unvarnished truth as impartially as possible from now on.

The newer Star Trek shows do need descriptions, and the ones I provided were a mix of facts and extremely widely held opinions, or facts that represented other people's opinions (example: the Rotten Tomatoes score). I'll give it another shot with your advice in mind.

I have no particular opinion on Short Treks, other than the tribble episode, which I thought was brilliant. However, it's not a "real" TV series, in the sense that its episode lengths aren't designed to fit into a one-hour or half-hour time slot, and it shouldn't be grouped with them. Perhaps it could be given its own section?

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

Fair enough. It's still a series of some sort, so it should be classed as such, with clarifying information on it's nonstandard formatting. If it needs it's own section due to unusualness, so be it.

Thanks for your further edits. I noticed you chopped out a lot of what we call natter (people basically having a meandering conversation in the page), and given how contradictory a lot of it was, good call on excising and trimming it.

WDStudios (talkcontribs)

Trimming natter was what got me banned from TV Tropes, which is weird, because they have a strict anti-natter policy...
