Re: Minor issue with another user on the character ages page.
That page is quite a bit of a mess. There are two versions in the past that seam to note their information comes from the guide book, your current version notes a source which also says that it took the information from the guide, however the wiki page doesn't even match up with it's source in information... so we have multiple statements of what the ages are, all disagreeing, and also saying that THEY are the ages taken from the guide. It's also important to note that random web pages aren't very good citations, that information is even more unreliable than information off of a wiki... On wiki people CAN disagree and find sources and citations to correct information, however a static webpage is always biased towards the person that wrote it, there is absolutely no place for someone to correct it, or even leave a comment to speak out and say the information is incorrect.

I will semi-protect the page so that only people that are willing to bother to register and talk will be able to edit the page, however this is something that the community needs to discuss, I can't lock the page at any specific version with this flimsy a level of citation. Personally, if I were to handle this kind of situation myself, I'd go about collecting the correct information by deleting all the information on the page marking it as unknown. Then every change adding an age would require a proper citation directly from an official character guide, with a scan of the page stating the information as evidence for the citation. Then the information could be collected by various users... In that situation I might even get a copy of the book(s) myself. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 30, 2010 @ 22:06 (UTC)
