User talk:Modelmotion

modelmotion, I very much appreciate your contributions to LGpedia. What I do not appreciate is your apparent refusal to accept constructive criticism. You've frequently claimed that the way you want to see the location pages is an "all or nothing" affair. Such an attitude is not conducive to compromise or community involvement. The majority of community respondants to the issue, which in the case is pretty much just me and JayHenry, do not agree that your approach is the best way of handling location information. Nevertheless, I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt to prove your point. You have a month to make the location pages a substantial contribution to LGpedia. You claim the that the location pages can offer important information that the respective video blog pages cannot; go ahead an make that happen. -- Twjaniak 06:57, 16 November 2006 (PST)

Respect

You have now compared me to the guards in the Stanford Prison Experiment, suggested I am a bureaucrat, accused me of heavy-handed bullying, accused me of "crushing your spirit" and suggested that I've abused my admin powers. Not once have I used any admin privileges in this discussion. I nominated the pages for deletion after Milowent, Brucker, TWJaniak and I all agreed that these pages did not each need a unique page. Nobody ever proposed deleting any information. It was merely an organizational suggestion, and yet you proceeded to make these accusations, and threaten to quit if you did not get your way. You never once addressed the reason for every single location to have separate pages. Instead you whined that you had created the pages and therefore it had to be your way. That's just not how a Wiki works. Do you understand that you're not being a team-player? Do you understand why I am frustrated and offended by your behavior?--JayHenry 12:12, 16 November 2006 (PST)

Jay, the only comment that i remember was directed at you was hurting my feelings and I think we resolved that one. I have said that I value your input but that i felt that at times the approach in general was at times heavy handed (meant as constructive critiscism). I welcome you input on how I can improve the location pages and hopefully other people will contribute to the effort. A couple of the location pages gained good traction....others not so much. There will always be certain locations that have limited information. However the concept is to have the locations catalogues in an organised way so that they can be references if and when needed. That has been my intention since I first created that secion and it remains my objective. I think some of the pages look pretty good with the pix and I know I enjoy them. I think you should remember that just because some of us are not expert wikipedians does not mean our approach is wrong. This is still basically and entertainment wiki and perhaps it requires a different approach from that of lets say Wikipedia. If someone can organise the information that there in a bettter then I will be the fist to admit its a better way but as it stands the current system is elegant in its simplicity.--modelmotion 14:50, 16 November 2006 (PST)
