I apologize for the fact that the admins don't give a full blown critique to users before pressing delete. We kinda feel that it would be a little bothersome and take more time than we have.

Other than that, I can agree. @Necro I can sympathize. It's undoubtedly hard keeping up with the wiki's activity. Something as simple as "bad grammar and/or spelling" can go a long way, though. Especially if there's nothing else wrong and you can make the time and effort to resolve it.

That's it, though, haha. Stories that get deleted for quality reasons usually have so much more wrong with them than simple "spelling/grammatical errors" that it would be a tremendous pain to list the problems every time. If a story's only (major) problem is a few spelling/grammar mistakes, it's usually just marked for review. Well, I wouldn't know. Looking at the pages I've "followed," pages that I remember having no problems whatsoever were deleted. I get removing some stories like "Hoodie" (because fuck that), but some stories got me wondering.

For instance, reasoning based on how "creepy" it is when that's purely subjective. There were semi-unique articles that explored possibility by theorizing about creepypastas ("Why Read, Why Listen?" IIRC). Wonder if I could go through Deletion Appeals and see why... c:

Personal gripe aside, it's the site's revolution. Raising its standards to improve its quality and reputation (siphoning out the shit). And in all fairness, that's great.
