Smasher talk:ZeRo

This page seems to get vandalized a lot. Do you think we should protect it for the sake of preventing that? Wikipedia does stuff like that, but I don't think I've ever seen a page on this wiki get protection for any reason other than being about an unreleased game. ♡FirstaLasto♥ 12:37, 8 January 2015 (EST)

question is, who's vandalizing it? (Smashworker101 (talk) 12:42, 8 January 2015 (EST))

Well I doubt it's always the same person (being that they always get banned), but it seems to occur at least once a month where either the entire page is replaced with nonesense or a bunch of nonsense is added to the page. ♡FirstaLasto♥ 12:43, 8 January 2015 (EST)

Whoever it is, they really hate this guy. But I think its the same guy, just with different IPs. You know, like sockpuppetry (Smashworker101 (talk) 12:49, 8 January 2015 (EST))

I don't think the vandalism of this page is chronic enough to warrant semi-protection as of this time. Toomai Glittershine The Pan-Galactic 13:10, 8 January 2015 (EST)

Then what type of vandalism suppose to be chronic enough? (Smashworker101 (talk) 13:25, 8 January 2015 (EST))

It's not something that can be determined easily; there's a lot of factors that can go into it. One very loose rule of thumb could be "if more recent edits are spent fixing the page rather than improving the page". Toomai Glittershine The Rainbow 13:31, 8 January 2015 (EST)

That does explain how it floods the recent changes though (Smashworker101 (talk) 13:52, 8 January 2015 (EST))

Wait a minute...

On their respective Smasher pages, it states Seagull Joe and Vinnie are the only players to have defeated ZeRo so far. However, ZeRo got 3rd at Sky's Smash 4 Invitational, so someone else must've beaten him. So... Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 12:16, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

They both say "in 2015". I think we basically consider 2014 to not count because it was too early. Zyrac (talk) 12:20, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

Well, yea, but the point still stands. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 12:24, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

To make a slight correction, it's also mentioned on Mr. ConCon's page that he beat ZeRo. On the subject of Sky's Invitational, by general consensus, most people typically don't include it for 3 reasons:

1. ZeRo was a Fox main at the time rather than a Diddy/Sheik main (he did have Sheik as a secondary at the time, though).

2. It was, essentially, a "Day 1 tournament", happening on the exact weekend that Smash Wii U was released.

3. The tournament happened way before his streak began (unless you count the pre-release Invitational as well).

Also, Mr. R and ESAM (the two players who actually beat him there) don't count Sky's Invitational against ZeRo's record either, so make of that as you will. It is a bit of a slippery slope, though, so maybe the wording could be slightly changed a bit. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 13:08, 5 October 2015 (EDT)
