Talk:Dials

Okay, could everybody, y'know, stop just changing this back and forth? It's really stupid... --Murasaki 02:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I was not talking to you, I'm talking to Cody and if he does not stop reverting, I'll find out where he lives and beat him up.

 * I know, but please stop it and just come to an agreement or something. It's really annoying to have it just go back and forth all the time. XD --Murasaki 02:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I too would like to talk this out. I have not been directly reverting, I have been adding onto my own article I wrote. Frankly, I am using the Quality over Quantity rule(not a wikipedia rule, it's a rule in general, for anything). My point is, would you rather have 1,000 lousy, sloppy, short articles that have barely any information in them, or one long(but not too long) page with the same information in it? For overal Quality, it's better. It's also better for people with slow/unreliable connection(although this is a minor bonus) since although the page will take a bit longer to load, it will all be there, and the overall loading time will be less. Also, a few of the Dials on the old page are non-existant Dials, as far as I've seen. I have not heard of them(in fact I am pretty sure the current incarnation of my version has listed all proven ones). My article is easier to expand upon and edit as well. I am not trying to write it and make it "mine", I am trying to create a good article that is easy to read and update, edit, or expand upon in the future when the time comes that someone can improve it. I see no point in a short, sloppy list leading to pages with 1-2 sentences, when we can have all those little articles in one, making one good article out of a ton of pointless little ones.

Merge Vs. Seperate
Okay, I'm going to start a vote on whatever we should have a seperate dial page or merged dial pages. I'm doing this mainly to avoid an hair-ripping editing wars and how should we improve ethier sides

Why Seperate?:


 * To give this site an colorful information


 * Like other wikias, there are pages with less information, why can't we?


 * Gives this site much more pages

Why no Merging?


 * Would make things black and white


 * Dull to look at


 * This is not Wikipedia


 * We have the freedom to create pages on many things

Now I wonder what do you guys think?

 * "Dull to look at?" Hmm... Well that is EASILY solved Joekido.  "This is not Wikipedia?", true but when I did the weapons template I realised all those Dials pages were pathetic.  We have no expansion on them and I'm rather disappointed you've seperated them again. "We have the freedom to create pages on many things", yes but we need to avoid stubs.  If there was 5 paragraphs on each Dials (2 would be enough) I's aopt for a seperate articles. Also Joekido, currently we have lots of articles and few editors, we not keeping the current pages up to date.  Less pages (at least for now) = less to manage.  I'm all up for have all these pages, but we have reach our orginal page number aim lets think about whether we really need them.  Do we really need seperate Dials pages? No.


 * BTW, If you had any cribs, I wish you had argued and discussed first. Now I have to do a revert on those pages so we are at where we should be with this discussion - disagreeing on the articles being merged.  T_T


 * Vote': Ditch the articles... If these ever gets more info on each dial we can seperate. One-Winged Hawk 07:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey we had a discussion on this a while ago Joekido... Why didn't you improve the articles thus removing the need to have discussion like this in the first place??? You care about the Dials pages a lot, you complained like hell... Then you left them??? Something isn't clicking into place here Joekido.  One-Winged Hawk 07:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
