User blog:Salubri/Outsider Looking In/Level of Detail.

Recently a Imrlybord7 has brought this up as an issue.

Hi there. I am an administrator over at the Call of Duty Wiki and someone with a general interest in anime. I was reading through some character articles and felt that I should offer a critique on how certain parts of articles are written. For reference, this is a perfect example, but there are many other places on this wiki where the issue exists. The issue is that articles go into every single minute detail of every conversation and fight. That kind of information would be much better off in the article about the episode in which said events happen. I mean, the level of detail is just absurd and it makes the articles far longer than they should be. I am pretty sure that, for the most part, this issue is limited to character articles, but it's possible that it exists elsewhere. I hope you will take this into consideration.

Hey I saw your post on Arrancar 109's page. The level of detail n the articles is what makes this wiki so good. We have detailed fight summary pages and episode pages as well but people look first at the characters. Since the characters are what most people go to look at, it is a good thing to have as much detail as possible. The point of a wiki is to gather as much information and detail on a subject as possible and present it in an orderly fashion--God (Pray)  20:16, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

We are sorry you feel that way about the sight. But this site does not claim to be anything else then what it is. We are not affiliated with any other anime sight and how they choose to do things with synopsis and the like are how they choose to do it. We are not connected to any anime or manga sight so anyone coming to the sight will find all the information they need without missing anything. Bleach is a series not based entirely on fighting there is dialogue and storyline that is just as important and they can and will be portrayed. When it comes to events, fights, battles we will in the future be cutting back on the content presented on the character pages if the fights, events and battles are already detailed in the happenings of those particular instances. If you dont appreciate the information then i dont know what to tell you. There are many regular users on here who have not expressed any problem with the amount of information. Far to often a sight has little to no information, this is not one of them. Nobody wants to go running to an article about the anime or manga when its far easier to attain the information from the pages of the characters involved. Bleach is a character driven story like most manga, the emphasis is on the characters. This just isn't a cookie cutter wiki like all the others. where you get two sentences a paragraph and unless you read or watch the manga and anime your left in the dark about whats happening with your favorite character or cant remember cause the information isn't there.

We want every detail possible. That is how we do things here on this site. As for the grammar, many pages have yet to be fixed but awhile ago I began working on the grammar and the admins created the Grammar Corner to get more people helping out with that. We also have the Bleach Wiki:Article Improvement Project in order to clarify the details and order everything. Most users praise us on our level of detail. People want every detail they can get. We recognize that some articles have problems but we are working on many to get up to the standard we have set for them--God (Pray)  20:46, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Well I can't tell whether your insulting the wiki or the users here. As someone who isn't a normal user here I wouldn't expect you to understand the practices here and as an admin for your own sight it seems as though your trying to make use uniform to what your used to. What I Will do is put this up for a vote. If the vast majority of users dont see anything wrong with the way we have it then theres your answer. We cant appease everyone and your issue with the content is an opinion, alot of the information has been grammar checked and is instituted the right way. Besides that a complete deconstruction of our pages is not productive as character pages included both anime and manga information in certain cases mixed together about the same issue. What you'd propose would destroy the sight. Salubri (Talk)  21:14, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Ok so I have brought you the conversation and the issues. As users of the sight what is your take. Either your are in support of changing it as the user has stated or you oppose changing it along those lines.
