On the story so far, I don't see any reason to have so many links. Generally, there ought to be very little reason to include more than one link from any given page to any other; or at least I think so. --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 19:05, 22 November 2006 (CST)
 
Furthermore, I definitely object to linking to ambiguous pages. For example: you've put several links to [[LG15]], a page which redirects to a disambiguation page that leads to other redirects. Yikes! This just seems outright wrong to me.--[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 19:08, 22 November 2006 (CST)

Real vs. Unreal

Hey Jay, i have been struggling a bit with the issue of "real" vs unofficial'. This is most obvious on the Watcher page. So far the wiki seems to have resolved it by creating a "Unofficial fan research" section. Thats one approach. However it raises the more general question of whether or not (and how) this issue should be addressed throughout the LGpedia. In the LG land where real, speculation and the make-believe are so tightly integrated its a little bit tricky to make these distinctions. Prior to the Watcher page most of the real video information was concentrated on the videos own page. I mean thats the place you could be 100 percent sure that the info was real. Even pages such as location pages which are for the most part verifiable are likely to contain speculative information. I guess what I am saying is that there needs to be some consistent approach to the real vs unofficial or else the pages need to be free to be a combination of both without distinguishing so absolutely between real and unofficial. Just a little food for thought. If you come up with some good direction on how to approach this either you or I can write up some general guidelines on the LGpedia page [i am not talking about any kind of formal rules here, just a friendly suggestion to nude LGpedians in the right direction}--modelmotion 10:45, 20 November 2006 (CST)

Someone has already started and "Unofficial fan research" section on the Watcher page. What i am talking about is a site wide issue because many pages contain a combination of real and unofficial fan research and there is not consistent way of dealing with it. I dont mind variety but if anyone has and ideas on this it would be good to have input.--modelmotion 15:17, 20 November 2006 (CST)


Orphaned and pseudo-orphaned pages

Someone commented on a few pages that you created that it was unclear why the information is there. It really would be a good idea when you make a new page of information that you find a way to clearly relate it back to LG15. --Brucker 10:06, 28 November 2006 (CST)

I normally try to respond to such comments in the discussion section when I see them. However your point is well taken. Sometimes I just assume that because i created the page from a link on a video etc that the reason for the pages existence is intuitively obvious. However this may not be the case for someone finding he page via a radom search. I will try to be more explicit.--modelmotion 10:58, 28 November 2006 (CST)
