What the heck is this? Someone wants to have your comics removed? Okay, I'm going to kick someone's ass!

Someone wants the entries I wrote in Wikipedia removed because I wrote them "for vanity."

I was INVITED to write those damned things.

I have decided to take a stand.

As you should. If you were requested to write the entry, it shouldn't get zapped for vanity.

Don't matter if it does or not - I've decided to take my own advice. Even if hey stay, I'm pulling out. I REALLY shouldn't get involved with community efforts, since they ALWAYS tend to to get politicky and semanticky.

Agreeing with [livejournal.com profile] katrus. It If there's going to be an article on either one, you're the best person to write it. It's a bit like asking Gygax to write the entry on D&D...doubt anyone would see that as reason to complain.

I don't know a thing about the tests that were mentioned, but I'm assuming they're a measure of popularity/familiarity...if it were excluded for being too obscure, I could understand that too; this justification is just...meh.

If it's any consolation for what the deletion business put you through the pages appear to have survived the effort.

I'll need to remember that putting in an entry for Sluggy Freelance is okay because of its readership, unless your name is Pete Abrams and you contribute to it, in which case it would just be a vanity page that must be removed.
