Mystic.

We DO welcome creative thinking. Have you read the standards? It should be easy for anyone to meet. If you haven't noticed, pages that don't meet these simple Standards, then you shouldn't make the page, because there's a very good chance it's crap.

Ask anyone part of the cleanup. I went through a good 50 pages, and all the ones that didn't meet standards were crap. All in all, I saw (at best) about half a dozen pages as the exception. And as I said earlier, around 2000 of such pages were marked an deleted.

So, while you say it's unfair, keep in mind the wiki still has around 10,000 pages. That's around SIX YEARS of people giving their time. You're basically saying you condone these people getting viewed as crap because a minority is crap.

And no. Those better articles don't get more attention while the s*** ones sink to the bottom. People look at our shameful pages and use that as a basis for the rest of them. So the termination of them is neccessary, or else this will continue.
