 		As I said, Cougs: I'm not going to do that, because I'm not the final arbiter. Which is also why I'm not taking this to the Wikipedia talk page, I'm not really invested enough in the process. That gives everyone the opportunity to completely ignore anything I've said if they so choose. But I feel the points I have made are valid critiques of the page as it currently is, and if everyone's really that hell-bent on making this page, then they will need to adhere to the Wikipedia submission guidelines and be prepared to deal with people playing hardball with the rules and regulations of the site.

And it's not that I want it gone, it's that I want it done right, and as of the moment, I don't feel there's enough notability to do so. And I feel what the end product is going to be unless there's more media involvement, is an article that would be absolutely fantastic for the Slender Nation wiki, in that it is an in-universe wiki. But I feel we're all too involved in the process of the meme coming alive to actually create a page without including our own research or opinions.

Constructive criticism? Try looking at the page from an onlooker's perspective, completely uninvolved in the Mythos, and see what they'd think of it. Does it present itself as factually documenting a recurring character in a Lovecraftian-esque Mythos? Or does it serve as a sales pitch for Marble Hornets? Is it too wordy where uninvolved onlookers could just as easily get the same impact from one or two words? Is it too brief where some onlookers would prefer extra clarification? I think we all just need to take a step back.

...Oh, and it could use a picture. Maybe not the most important part, but it'd make the page look more legit, even if the writing is still a little off.

Not fighting anymore, but as far as this goes? Look again, sir.

 		I dunno about it going on the Wiki page, but that'd be a damn good picture if it weren't for the captioning. o_o

 		I really don't understand why there is a mention of CAT PLANET. It has no connection to Slenderman at all, except a small segment of overlapping fanbase. I know some people expect everything internet-based to boil down to cats or porn eventually, but does that view need to be supported?

There needs to be something else to support the "Trivia" section under WP:TRIV. If we can't find something else about how the community at large has interacted with Slenderman, there's no point to having the trivia section at all, and that's where the $20 dollars bullshit, which I've already justified, goes.

Concrete Giraffes? One of MGS's videos? Anything else that actually involves Slenderman in some way?
Putting CAT PLANET there is equivalent to putting a link to an article on jelly in the article about cheese because both sometimes go on bread. Bread in this case standing in for Angora Chat. I'm bad at analogies.

Hm. Concrete Giraffes seems like a likely idea. Maybe once CG2 comes out I'll add it. The difficulty with all of this is WP's No Original Research requirement.

Phenom, just admit you need special help already so we can go about our days.

We already know it, we just want to hear you say it.


EDIT: Alright, I decided to throw you guys a bone. Let Us Keep Living has been replaced with The Tutorial. Again, if you're really serious about this thing, you've gotta go with what the majority of the blog readers will know.


...they seriously had Let Us Call Living Keepers and didn't have The Tutorial?

...what?

 		I just saw that at least one episode of "Coast to Coast" has featured Slendy. (There is a clip of it on youtube.) Does that give you another external media source? Coast to Coast is not exactly the most incredulous of media outlets... but it's not the internet.
