Hello there.

After flipping through Random Page a few times the last few days, I and a few others have come across some really bad articles that are either a result of a user's inability to write well (no offense), or are a deliberate troll page hiding behind meeting standards. There are also some very bad Mary Sues that I think could use purging, as well as a few that have questionable content (and perhaps cruddy art). Joke characters would be exempt, as they're clearly marked as jokes and all in good humor I think.

Some immediately spring to mind: Among others.
 * Six the Xenomorph (which was marked recently)
 * Steve the Hedgegod (a Gary Stu that has no "Joke character" disclaimer)
 * Kurai the Hedgehog (Shadow's apparent twin brother)
 * Vonic the Technohog (hard to tell if this is a joke or a troll)

Also, I'd like to propose a change in how to meet standards - instead of just a measly three sentences in three sections, how about a paragraph or two full of of complete sentences with good grammar and spelling? That way, articles don't slip by on the technicality of having three run-on sentences in each section. In addition, I say we make having recolored art in the article grounds for Standards, so as to cut down on the recolors and encourage originality.

Another thing: I don't think userpages should be exempt from being marked for standards. I dunno if that's already a rule, but if it's not, then it should be. I've seen userpages that are character articles with little to no content in them, which I think defeats the point of putting it up in the first place if the creator isn't going to bother actually putting stuff in there.

What do you guys think? I'd like to see this change happen, as it would cut down on the seriously bad articles that SFW sadly is known for. If there's anything I missed, lemme know.
