The Troodon Man
Hey SoPre, I saw that you reverted my edit on The Troodon Man. Instead of an horizontal line I added four dashes. It isn't that big of an issue, but originally the story had no line separating the ending from the rest of the story. An horizontal line is more different to the original than the four dashes. I believe when editing a page we should try and keep it as close to the original as possible. Personally I wouldn't like someone editing in an horizontal line at one of my stories, so I assume many might feel the same way as I do and I don't want to take any chances.

Maybe the page should be reverted back to my edit. MrDupin (talk) 11:51, August 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Since the author edited the page, it's fine. But still, I believe stories should be left as close to the original as possible. Have a nice day. MrDupin (talk) 10:19, August 9, 2015 (UTC)

Re:

"Lakefront Incident" story issues
You said there were story issues on this one: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Lakefront_Incident

What are they?

I even had personal doubts about this story too. I wondered if it came across as somewhat cheesy with the "man next door" part.

Still unfinished
"It's usually pretty clear when a story is unfinished"

 If it were clear, I wouldn't be asking.

 Episodes can stand on their own, or build off each other to varying degrees. The conditions of independent story and supportive serialization are not mutually exclusive.

 There a dozens of ritual pastas here that reference each other as part of a series, but can stand on their own.

There are entities/characters that make appearances in multiple pastas, adding to the previously "finished" story all the time.

 There are plenty of pastas divided into stand alone chapters with out endings as of yet.

 Where is the line drawn? What qualifies as a finished segment?



 Example: Mr. protagonist walks up to creepy place. Creepy old lady warns him not to go in and tells a story.

 Of course Mr. Protagonist listens to her story but decides to go in anways. Now say I am in the middle of writing chapter 2, is this pasta of Mr. protagonist arriving, listening to her story, and chosing to go in anyways a complete enough segment to post as "chapter 1?"

 Or do I have to have the old lady stab Mr. protagonist in the face at the end so I can send in someone else to the same place in a completely independent pasta?

Do either of these endings need an introduction written out when I post the next chapter? Or can I just link to the previous episode?



 There is a lot of room for grey area here. It's not just cut and dry.

Hey, sorry to bother you, but as the headline states, I need halp. I'm trying to nominate a pasta for PotM, but every time I try to put down the timestamp it just appears as 5x~. I don't want to use my actual signature for it cause I think it will make the page look messy/untidy. Can you halp.

RE:
Yeah, it seems like a good idea. I already warn people for posting ASCII art anyway, since IMO it comes under spam, but explicitly disallowing it's probably a good idea.

06:18, September 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. My only suggestion is that if someone leaves a decent comment and then puts something like that along with it, that we remove the art rather than the whole comment (comments are rare on most stories). Same goes for stretching, which we should probably throw in there too.  If someone leaves a reasonable comment but uses a stretch, I think cutting the stretch down to about five letters is the best option (but I won't likely bother cutting them down unless they're excessively stretched, like fifteen or more).  Of course if they stretch multiple words, then I would just delete it.  Editing comments like this is actually a little less work for us, and the authors still get to see the comment.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 12:59, September 4, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, quick question. I got your message about text art, and was wondering if you could give me an example of what text art is exactly?

Thanks for helping an old man out,

Banningk1979 (talk) 16:08, September 4, 2015 (UTC)

Text art
Well, from what I see as the examples, I don't see them as a big issues unless someone is using them to create lewd or offensive images. Personally, unless the community were to complain about them, I don't see a reason to ban them.

However, check with the other admins. If they agree to ban them, I'll support the majority.

This is NOT a Deletion Appeal BUT can you tell me should I put it up for appeal
Ok so I've followed all the admin's advice and I think all the punctuation is solved and all, I also added more to the story so the part where they get to the ranger station didn't just fall flat. Could you please read it and tell me should I put it forward to the deletion appeal because if i put it up again I want it to be the best it can and have the best chances of being put back up. Thanks (note: I stress this IS NOT an appeal just you opinion.)

Hey, why are you changing "god" to "God"? The original poster had it lowercase, so changing it isn't right. MrDupin (talk) 20:21, September 14, 2015 (UTC)

RE: God or god
I believe in this case it was referring to "a god" not "the Biblical God", so lowercase is more appropriate (as it is a noun and not a name).

I see it the same way as "color" and "colour". Neither are wrong. It is up to the writer. Anyway, it isn't that big of a deal. MrDupin (talk) 20:50, September 14, 2015 (UTC)

Recently I've noticed that you've done some editing on two stories I have posted on this site. I'm okay with someone fixing grammatical errors and the like, but I noticed that you changed the words "All Rights Reserved" to a Creative Commons link. I am not okay with this.

The site rules dictate that all content posted here is Creative Commons unless otherwise stated. I in fact stated stated otherwise by writing "All Rights Reserved".

Please correct this. I would do it myself, but I'm not too familiar with using a wikia site.

Why was my story deleted?
Well, my story "Rumors On A City Street Corner" was recently deleted, and I'd like to ask why?

I know it flags as having a lot of mispellings, but if you'll read it, they're supposed to be intentional to evoke the feeling of a city-type dialect. And, while it may appear to be a series of unrelated antecdotes, there is a definite progression/storyline I put in there, if you look at it a bit closer.
