Talk:Characters of Note

NOMINATIONS ONLY

How to nominate

To nominate any given Urban Dead character for "Character of Note" status, simply start a new header in this section with the name of that character. Supply in-depth information on why this is a character of note, and please include any links that may be important.

Every character nominated will then undergo a numbered vote. Please do not use the vote area for discussion beyond explaining your position. After seven days or at least ten votes (whichever occurs first) the nomination voting for that character is closed. At least 50% of approving votes is necessary for the character to be added to the main page.

Characters can be put up for nomination again after 60 days.

Characters can be nominated for removal by using the same process as nomination. In this instance, however, removal requests must not be repeated within 60 days and the character can be re-nominated for inclusion at any time.

EXAMPLE CHARACTER NOMINATION

I am nominating (CHARACTER NAME) for "Character of Interest" status. In this span of text, I am explaining why I think they're so darned important. In closing, this is where I would put some links to various groups, events, or humorous things they've created. -- NominatingGuy

Was thinking about it. Someone mentioned you having the 'keys' to the entire thing, and I thought... Hell, why isn't this a public endeavor? Why should people 'submit' and hope one person agrees with them on such a broad and immaterial concept like "importance"? Well, not that I think anyone will actually care, but here's the opportunity for folks to have a democratic version. -- ™ & © Amazing, INC. All rights reserved.

Imagine someone else (me?) started the "Persons of Note" section in their own userspace, and when you nominated, say, Uncle Zeddie, the response was "Nah, making a handful of radio broadcasts doesn't make you important. Denied." Essentially that's your system, so if anyone wants it, this is one nobody is 'in charge' of. -- ™ & © Amazing, INC. All rights reserved.

got you, somewhere there's the conversation about this. Basically it was placed there whilst under construction, to minimise drama and edit conflicts, before being moved out of the namespace, for others to fuck up.--I'm not the Ross UDWiki needs, I'm the Ross it deserves. 18:56, 15 September 2012 (BST)

How many pages does this failure of an idea actually need? Also nice votes on all of those characters. Oh wait. You might as well just let people add shit to the page, that way it saves another bunch of shit to vote on and accusations of meat puppetry/popularity contests that this will no doubt degenerate into. Oh and way to gloss over the shady pasts of some of the people on the list. One of them totally wasn't banned for their own group for hacking and spying on another group, and another totally didn't get herself zerg listed, pantsed, and booted out of her group too. -- Goribus 19:53, 15 September 2012 (BST)

I nominate the following as Noteworthy Characters:

• Cornholio
• Amazing's Ego
• Axe Hack's undeserved sense of accomplishment
• Mark Whalberg
• Finnis
• Fedcom President
• Another terrible idea because this is exploitable as shit and all it takes is a crowd of meat puppets to get someone on the list. -- Goribus 19:53, 15 September 2012 (BST)

My point entirely. Incidentally, care to elaborate on the stuff above. Im always willing to learn more about the dark pasts of characters.--I'm not the Ross UDWiki needs, I'm the Ross it deserves. 19:59, 15 September 2012 (BST)

I'm sure that someone who actually cares will. But that's my point actually. Derp let's make a category for persons of note and be ignorant of some of the things they're infamous for. I'm out. See you in another month or so when someone badgers me to check the wiki. -- Goribus 20:38, 15 September 2012 (BST)

Thanks!--I'm not the Ross UDWiki needs, I'm the Ross it deserves. 20:40, 15 September 2012 (BST)
