I didn't really want to do this, but I think we're going to need to have a talk about submission and editing guidelines.

I try not to check many of the edits made here(except in the case of somebody making a lot of edits at once), as I really didn't want the kind of Nazi moderation that is present at other wikis (and I'm not talking explicitly about the .net wiki but even many here on Wikia). But some of the edits that have been made have been quite terrible. Broken English and unreadable sentences aside, some of the "facts" written are almost unbearable to read.

Now, while part of me enjoys trolling the hell out of the hardcore "super-primary" fan base with this sort of stuff, when it gets too bad it gets even to my blackened secondary heart. For example, Neko Scarlet was funny for awhile but it is time to take things a little more seriously. Now I have to believe that most of these edits were just some sort of asinine vandalism attempt, but in case anyone is actually trying to edit legitimately and is some how falling flat on their face, I (or we) are going to have to set up some basic editing guidelines.

So I'll field suggestions for this over the next few days. I don't want to make anything too strict, as I said before I have no desire to go over every edit personally (not that we have an overabundance of edits, mind you, I just don't want super strict moderation).

I'll make an addendum to this later.

Most of the pages seem to be written in the prsent tense, I'm not sure about the universe persepctive. But we might want to pick if we're going to be doing it by the real world, or inner universe perspective.
The way we write must not be biased. We can't say some character is the best on their page just because we like them more.
For any big edits that happen, people might want to try and give a small summary about what they did.
We are also, obviously, hoping for correct grammar and spelling when an edit is made. --Imanie 23:22, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


There were horrible "fan made characters" posted yesterday. So awful I'm pretty sure they were just a troll. But anyhow, check the deletion log for an example. If someone posts that quality of item in the future... just delete it without hesitation. VS3025 15:07, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
