Should we retain the info of who submitted what? - GreyKnight
This page should be cleaned up some, so that it doesn't look like a 14 year old girl's blog post. Remove the contributors. Generalize the lessons so that they're applicable to a wider audience (ie, instead of "don't throw food at non-tame dragons", it should be "don't throw food at non-tame pets").
Some of these are just plain stupid, and they exist only to relate "famous" stories on/about NAO. Is this the NAO wiki or the NetHack wiki? Remove them, if they're not applicable to a wide audience.
I have a feeling that any changes I make will just get reverted, so I'll wait for some more discussion. --- 69.11.189.85 18:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am of the opinion that not every page has to be hard-and-fast encyclopedic information. The title of this page suggests that it is going to be entertaining first and informative second. I agree that it could stand a bit of cleanup "so that it doesn't look like a 14-year-old girl's blog post," but I don't think there's any problem with keeping some of them around just for our entertainment. After all, Nethack doesn't always take itself seriously; why should the wiki?
- But this is a larger debate than just this page; I would appreciate an admin's input on this as well. --Mogri 19:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
