    I'm waiting for some other opinions before I weigh in.

    Like AHR I'm for the removal of the chart, but I don't necessarily know that the whole article needs to go. If no one has a good reason for keeping it, though, I won't stand in the way.

    ^^^^And seriously, what would we be doing wrong? Conspiring to suggest that a page needs TRS?

    That was also what I was thinking, too. I mean, I don't think our opinion is less valid because we decided to follow the rules of the site and file a complain. If this was a true raid, we wouldn't be following the rules of the side, and we'd be vandalizing instead.

    All I'm saying, all we can do is follow the thread and discuss appropieately depending on what happens.

    I would suggest that no one flip out on this thread if opposition shows up, in case anyone does follow up here.

    We don't want to give anyone a reason to think it's anything malicious, after all.

    edit: In fact, the best bet at this point would be to save any further discussion on the issue for TRS itself.

    Yeah, let's keep this one up to something else.

    Um...what was it we were discussing?

    Well, there was that bit about starting up a Special Efforts thread to promote awareness of the analysis namespace. Yeah, I know that was way earlier, but I just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on it.

    Oh yeah, we can do that.

    Hmmm...here's a very rough draft of the OP.
    So we have a namespace for analysis. Great idea. Something to build from the cataloguing that's the site's primary goal. But...it's really underused. So this thread's for a project to build up the namespace and promote awareness of it.
    I thought maybe we could start with people suggesting works that would benefit the most from analysis pages. I'll collect suggestions here in the OP.


    Thoughts?
  • ElbeemElbeem
    We should also collect ideas on how to write quality analysis, because, honestly I have no idea.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    I think that we should also encourage said people to bring in analysis as well as works worth analysing, if that makes sense.

    I think there should be a little explanation of what we want in the namespace. 
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    I think that quality analysis avoids Fanwank, is well sourced, and conveys very clearly the message the author is trying to give to the reader.

    I like the "Crew as parts of Mal" here

    Although it needs some touching.

    Or, alternatively, we can discuss what makes a good analysis proper in the thread.

    Right, then, draft 2.
    So we have a namespace for analysis. Great idea. Something to build from the cataloguing that's the site's primary goal. But...it's really underused. So this thread's for a project to build up the namespace and promote awareness of it. 
    The first things we need to establish, I think, are how to write good analysis (if we wind up creating a short guide on this, that'd be excellent) and what works need analysis.

    Useful Notes on Bra Sizes has been cut.

    Should I start that special efforts thread?

  • ElbeemElbeem
    I know I'm talking about the bra size article when we agreed not to but:

    Ok, Ghilz really jumped the gun on placing the page on the cutlist citing "overwhelming support". This could be very easily reversed, and make it more difficult to get legitimately cut.

    We'll see how it goes, I guess.

    And go for it, Inuh.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    But it already has been cut.

    Yes, but based on incorrect info. I wouldn't call one page of discussion over the course of an hour or so "overwhelming support".

    I'd say the cut was way premature.

    Anyway, I made the analysis thread. Anyone who has stuff to say about it, stop  by.

    Link, please?

    Also, eh, I don't mind. If it comes up again, I'll discuss it.
