| I know. I've been trying to edit this one for some time, as I find it very biased towards other fandom subjects. There's only the Fandalorian article, and no other towards any other fandom seperate from general SW fandom - which is a bias. They obviously try portraying us as overdefensive, Karen Traviss protective and troubled fans, which in any case myself am not. I don't protect Traviss, I'm not overly defensive and I indeed am critical of many Mandalorian fans and this article is offensive to me because I know most of us aren't like this at all. A small percentage doesn't make up the majority.
I'll try harder, and try getting this to a more neutral article that reflects the majority. | |

| Well my thought was that the wiki should only say the facts. All we can say about the Fandalorian group is that:
Fandalorian is a slang term for fans of the Mandalorian culture in the Star Wars Universe.
Any description of how these fans act, live, or believe is speculation or based of personal opinion from the Fandalorians they've met. None of this belongs in a Wiki page.
So thinking everyone understands simply logic edited out the opinions to simply the definition... as its the only fact. So a wiki troller (donno if theres an official term, but a non admin who patrols the wiki for incorrect edits and such) saw only that the content went from 4 full sections, to one sentence, and reverted it, then warned he would tell on me. After nicely explaining my justification I corrected it again. I was then accused of vansalism and asked to stop, and wait till the community agrees... So about 3 or 4 people agreed and I changed it again... Banned for a month for vandalism.
However the admin did mark it as being biased, and someone did attempt to unbias it. It has also been put into vote for deletion. I was also able to talk to a few of the admins who seem to understand and lifted my ban.
I'm going to attempt to leave it alone but feel free to voice your opinions. Is it fine, should it change, or should it be deleted all together. | |
