Hello & welcome!

A bit about this user

Whirl editing is an experienced and trusted user who has been editing since July 13th 2007; however up until January 24th 2009, editing was done under his other user name: Edito*Magica. Edito*Magica was wrongly blocked from wikipedia after being accused of vandalism, and so Whirl editing is continuing where he left off, taking articles to new, dizzy heights of quality; appologies for the awful play on words!

Topic: One Foot in the Grave article

Hi,

What do think about moving the character descriptions to a new page?...there is already character description in the plot section, and i think the character section does make the page a little too long? Tell me what you think. Thanks.Whirl*editing (talk) 14:01, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think we discussed this before when you were Edito*Magica, but I still think it's a bad idea - the page needs character descriptions to make it comprehensive for readers. By comparison to some articles, the page isn't very long at all, and it's not justified to have a separate page for what are essentially six major characters. There aren't that many minor recurring characters, either, so it wouldn't even be justified as an extended page. In my experience, individual character pages tend to be rather poor quality, and if you look at Wikipedia article traffic statistics, spin-off pages are rarely viewed.

Additionally, articles about fiction should be discussed in a real-world context. The lists you have been creating do not conform to that guideline and are at risk of being deleted. The JPS^{talk to me} 16:14, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok fair enough. People not visiting spin-off pages has always been a concern of mine, and i will begin tidying the character descriptions up soon. Thanks.Whirl*editing (talk) 15:14, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
