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)

Well, if we're going to expose the casual players to the tier list, they're going to want a reason for the rankings of certain characters, especially since most of them will disagree with the list. The pros/cons sections should mainly be used to defend the tier list. --Greenblob 17:29, February 4, 2007 (GMT)

You have a good point, but the goal of SmashWiki is to present information, not to teach novices. Certainly we should include pros' opinions on the characters - that Fox combos like crazy and Roy can't kill - but it shouldn't be the focus of the article. Novices are looking more for information about characters' backstories (which in itself is a topic that KK recommended we make a project about) and the simple aspects of their attacks - which A attacks are notable, funny statistics about their special attacks, et cetera. Pro/cons should come at the end of the article under the header of "Ness in competitive play," and should be written in paragraph form. – MaskedMarth ^{(t c)} 15:28, February 16, 2007 (GMT)
