Is anyone an editor on My Little Wiki?
« on: January 14, 2015, 04:54:38 AM »
I was browsing MLW and came across the category page for G2, which I have real issues with. I've emailed and asked to be an editor, but recieved no response, and this was over a month ago.

http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Category:Generation_2 is pretty nasty toward G2. It claims that G2 weren't popular because of 'stability issues', which I have NEVER found with any of my G2 girls at all, and that they were thin and 'anorexic'. Not only is that a completely inappropriate word to use, but I think that whole sentence is very opinion based and doesn't belong on a wiki. To me, G4 is more oddly thin and shaped than G2 is by miles. It also implies that G2 was wildly unpopular and has very little fans, which is again completely untrue. It may not have been popular in America, but America doesn't count for the whole of the world, and there are plenty of dedicated G2 fans.

I know it's only one page, and it's very silly to get wound up over, but as my requests to change it to be more neutral have been ignored, is anyone else able to fix this?

Saying something looks anorexic (unless said subject actually is anorexic) is always in poor taste. No clue who thought that was appropriate.

Oh dear.  :huh: I totally agree that's not a very flattering introduction and should be changed. I'm afraid I don't know who the editor is though. It is possible they are just reflecting the negative reaction that some collectors had to G2 when it came out. Personally I thought they were adorable (and quite stable indeed ;)) and I'd love to have more of them!

Link is not working for me, strange. Hope someone edits it soon sounds too bias to be on wiki  :huh:

I've never had trouble with G2 stability, but more than that I do agree that the anorexic label needs to go. They are slimmer than G1 yes, but not really if you take things like flutter ponies into consideration.

I'm Admin of EarthBound Wiki and was a rollbacker on Zeldapedia for a long time, so I know how wikis should work. I have no problem with the negative reaction to G2 when it was first released being documented - it is an important thing to talk about, but it should be presented way more factually and neutrally than it is there. I'm not sure if any other pages on the wiki suffer from this kind of poor writing, but it reflects badly on the community, and not having membership to edit freely open is also pretty damaging to a wiki and doesn't encourage people to help.

EDIT: That's fantastic, Sparkle Pony!

I'm glad it got changed!  Looks good.  ^.^

I'm not a G2 fan, but I remember someone pointing out that page before and I was a little baffled at the wording.

I'm glad to see that the page has been changed. Aside from all the other untrue things on the original description, calling a toy 'anorexic' is just plain ridiculous.

While the original description might have been badly worded, reason why I don't like G2 is because I think they are too thin and look like they are starving.
