Alan De Smet,

My contribution to the Mark Evanier Wikipedia page was deleted. It read as follows:

Quotes
Following up on the clever, truly all-ages Shrek might have been an impossibility, so I can’t judge the Dark Horse comic sequel too harshly. However, this take on the characters by renowned Groo co-writer Mark Evanier and unfamiliar (to me) artists Bachs and Fernandez is just a shallow echo of the funny, pop-culture laden movie that spawned the culture.

Please advise if it was improperly formatted or if you deleted it for some other reason.

 * (Above copied over from User_talk:Alan_De_Smet) I deleted it because it didn't fit. It certainly wasn't a quote by Evanier, which is what I'd expect to find in a section called "Quotes" (and really, would better fit in Wikiquote).  It's just an excerpt from a very brief review.  It certainly isn't noteworthy critical analysis.  The site and author don't seem so significant that any praise from them would be significant.  Ultimately, it's not something that belongs in an encylopedia. (You can reply here if you want to continue discussing this, I'm not watching this page.) — Alan De Smet | Talk 05:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

 * New reply at User_talk:Alan_De_Smet. Also, some tips: 1) You can sign your posts with ~ ; this helps people keep track of who is saying what.  There is a system that tries to automatically sign your post, but it's best if you sign it yourself.  2) If you're going to quote lots of text, you might put "and" around it to indent it and make it easier to read. 3) Finally, feel free to just link to articles instead of copying big chunks.
