No doubt, one day, some misguided soul shall find this page by stalking my contributions looking to flame me about the Pardus article.

Face the facts. Pardus, in the grand scheme of things is /not-notable/. I have /never/ been banned from Pardus and back when I had time to play, thoroughly enjoyed doing so. But the truth is that Pardus, at this point in time does /not/ belong in Wikipedia. During the AFD, NO ONE tried to fix the article. They just decided to spout absolute bullcrap about how I'm some kind of perma-banned player going on a vengeful deletion spree.

... infact, as I write this I read yet more uninformed posts about the former Wikipedia article... let's do some quoting shall we?

"The Pardus wiki article was alright but was removed because of undue drama and people who insisted on reposting drama. It was also removed because of useless wiki-mods who could not even fathom the concept of Pardus and continually actually deleting the useful and relevant information, and leaving only the drama." -- Is there anything legitimate in there? The fact that they mention "mods" is proof enough about how uninformed they are. If you're only going to post to rant and not offer any legitimate points, why post at all?

"Do I remember correctly it was continually "sabotaged" by a couple of perma-banned players?" ... what?

"by one individual IIRC, and when it was suggested to the Wiki mods that this person had an alteria motive for his actions. they threw a hissy fit about making personal remarks. rolleyes.gif " Right. Let's ignore the fact I wasn't even the one that created the AFD, nor did I put forward an official opinion. I did however mark the SPAs.

Ah well, atleast there was SOMEONE rational without a kneejerk reaction of OHMYGODNOPARDUSBLASPHEMY!: "Seriously, MMOs (and games / movies in general) really don't belong on Wikipedia. The Wikipedia was not intended to be a marketing tool, and in my ideal Utopian world people would stop treating it as such. There are sites like IMDB and dozens of gamer blog and review sites for that purpose."

That's it.
