Topic on User talk:The Boy Who Cried Godzilla

Hello. While I appreciate your civility in the message here, and I assume good intent in all your actions, I just want to give you an informal warning about doing stuff like that before talking to someone. While I am not here to boost my ego and tell you that what I say goes, as I am a site administrator, would it be too much to ask that you not assume I don't know what I'm doing? Blanking a page because you disagree with it is not something we take lightly here, regardless of who made it. If you wanted to put the deletion marker in, thats your call, but I strongly advise you to take matters like this to staff members before making these kinds of calls. Once again, I am operating under the assumption that your intentions were and are in the best of faith, but the ways you treat fellow editors can come off as rude at best and egotistical at worst. I am not here to leverage accusations against you, in part because you are a diligent editor, and I believe you are acting with pure intentions, but I cannot stress enough how blanking a page like that is unacceptable. This is not a strike or a warning or however you'd like to put it, but a reminder that this is a collaborative space, where we all have to work together for the sake of accuracy in our information, and taking these personal choices without consulting others is not how we try to operate.

Now to answer your question. Sandboxes are for incomplete/fringe pages. We have been trying to clean up some of the oldest pages here from a time when such work was considered acceptable. That said, while a stub may not be ideal, it is still a viable page waiting for expansion, and our dedication to sandboxes have sort of backfired in a way, as now few people can locate the pages to work on them, but that is beside the point. I have put a lot of work into television characters and monsters, and while I have tried to fix them up to current standard, few if any yet contain detailed accounts of their roles in each episode. I am working to fix this, but, many empty history-based subheaddings does not make an article fit for deletion or relegation to a sandbox. The page, when published, had a solid foundation from which to build, and I, or any other editor could add to it. As I said, this is a collaborative site. If the Charlie sandbox from before I began work on it today had been published, with no history, no text, and no image, that would be fit for sandboxing. I will not pretend that it is/was complete, as few if any pages are, but it was a start. Perhaps I should have used the Under Construction header, but I digress. In response to the ither part of your query, we arent really set on if personality sections should be in character pages, as its not always the case that there is enough to say that wouldn't fit elsewhere in the page, or be self explanatory by the character's actions, but this is currently being discussed.

Now I realize I can be long winded. Did that make sense to you? Do you have any questions? I'm glad to help if you do.
