:: You have a good point, but the goal of SmashWiki is to present information, not to teach novices.

lol, you're faster than me. This is what I was about to post:
"I also want to have a section of specific "issues" regarding pages, such as:
- the pro/con section of each character page, which is somewhat POV and a little offish to novices
- the overly guide-like tone to match-up articles
- and more
I might add that when I get home from school, if none of you do. Gotta go now." – MaskedMarth (t c) 18:00, January 29, 2007 (GMT)
- Agree. I hate the guides telling you what to do. – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 18:03, January 29, 2007 (GMT)
