User talk:Modelmotion

Modelmotion, there's no reason for you to take this personally. I honestly don't understand why you're so upset, or what you feel is "heavy-handed." This wiki is a community effort, it's not your personal playground. Sometimes people disagree about how something should appear, and when that happens we have to discuss it. Please calm down.--JayHenry 20:44, 15 November 2006 (PST)

Well it is how I feel. I put a lot of effort into LG and while i feel you have the best intentions and actually make intelligent comments I feel at times that the pedia is taking itself a bit too seriously. We want to have fun.....we want to contribute. I totally understand your desire to make it the bet LGpedia that it can be, but if that requires crushing the spirit of a fan like me then I think you are missing the entire point. Free will is a central issue in LG. I dont believe in censorship and that beginning to happen more and more in the chats. Control can be a friend but it can also be the demon within. Just ask the participants in the Standford Prision experiment. I think i provide a pretty good solution by moving many of the locations off the main page. I went thru each of the pages and improved the content to better reflect what i think it should be. I think the use of pictures if very helpful in telling the story thru locations...........but thats as far as I am willing to go.

The pages say they are up for deletion. They give no indication of when or how the process works . When you say there is not information to justify the page you are directly challenging my desire for the page to exist so of course I am going to get upset.--modelmotion 20:58, 15 November 2006 (PST)

Modelmotion, please calm down. I'm not going to post on this any further tonight, so you have some time to calm down and sleep on this. Look, here's a story: I designed the templates that we used in the old videos. I really liked that template. TWJaniak came along and designed a new template. Although I prefered the old template, TWJaniak's template was better organized and others liked it. Instead of throwing a temper tantrum, I posted my objection, but then I went along with the wishes of the community. Nobody was "censoring" me, we simply disagreed. That's all part of the process of working on a wiki. When editors disagree, we have to be able to discuss it calmly. Threatening to quit if you don't get your way is not the way decisions are made.--JayHenry 21:24, 15 November 2006 (PST)

I would like to point out that my desire to improve the template for the vlbogs was sanctioned by the Creators who wanted a template that could support additional information such as cast and production information as well as be consolidated on a single spot on the page. The LGpedia is not quite like the Wikipedia where community consensus must agree before major changes take place. The Creators do get to have final say here; if they want a particular change, it happens. -- Twjaniak 22:00, 15 November 2006 (PST)
