Editing Talk:Cut scene psychosis From DoomWiki.org Warning: You are not logged in. Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history. Anti-spam check. Do not fill this in! == Deletion nomination == I admit I laughed, but whatever the community's opinions on cutscenes, this specific term is not being used. Google and dwforums searches return 0 results. Therefore, it does not belong in this encyclopedia. * '''Delete.''' [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 09:08, 27 November 2011 (UTC) * '''Delete.''' --[[User:Gez|Gez]] 16:37, 29 November 2011 (UTC) * '''Delete'''. It's humorous and maybe could be kept somewhere, but doesn't seem to be within the purpose of the site. -- [[User:ETTiNGRiNDER|ETTiNGRiNDER]] ([[User talk:ETTiNGRiNDER|talk]]) 00:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC) * <s>'''Delete''', since the article was vandalized without further discussion. --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 16:15, 12 June 2015 (CDT)</s> == Rewrite == This article humorously mentions how the player loses control of the doomguy during a cutscene, even if monsters are still in the room. This happens when players (or modders) deliberately add monsters to areas that didn't have them before. Sigvatr had the right intent, just terrible wording. [[User:ConSiGno|ConSiGno]] ([[User talk:ConSiGno|talk]]) 15:10, 12 June 2015 (CDT) : There is no context in which this can be treated seriously or redeemed as a "proper" article; however, I wonder if we shouldn't have a ''little bit'' of scope for such things, maybe with an appropriate "Humor" category and a Template:NonCanonical infobox of some sort. Could be used to settle the occasional edit war over [[Sotoxi]] as well :P --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 15:46, 12 June 2015 (CDT) :: A category for "humor" articles would just encourage more people to post garbage, IMO. The stated goal purpose of this site is to be informational, not humorous. That can go on some other site. -- [[User:ETTiNGRiNDER|ETTiNGRiNDER]] ([[User talk:ETTiNGRiNDER|talk]]) 16:20, 12 June 2015 (CDT) ::: <s>I was just discussing on IRC how we're one of the few wikis that can ''never'' cut loose to any degree and have a few things that are outside the mold. But I've had my hand forced anyway so it doesn't matter now. The humorous article was replaced with one that was neither funny nor factually informative. --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 16:22, 12 June 2015 (CDT)</s> : ''(edit conflict)'' Even if we deem this [[Doom Wiki:Policies and guidelines#Original research|a worthwhile topic]] despite its [https://www.google.com/search?as_q=&as_epq=cut+scene+psychosis&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&as_rights=&gws_rd=ssl nonexistence] in the Doom community, cutscenes in many modern games behave similarly. IMO it belongs in a broader directory like tvtropes. (P.S. one can have great intentions, but be worse than useless because of all the rewriting required. Examples: my technical articles, half of Wikipedia's bots, Ralph Nader.) [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] ([[User talk:Ryan W|talk]]) 16:39, 12 June 2015 (CDT) ==Public apology== This is the second time in as many months that I have let personal issues interfere with my judgment in administrative matters on the wiki. I'll give myself one more strike I guess before calling for a vote on whether or not I should retain those powers for anything but emergency use. If someone wants to undelete and work on this, I have no objections and I am striking my earlier comments and vote because they were made in an irrational state of mind. This place doesn't belong to me, but I'm passionate about it still. I particularly apologize to CSG for making him feel unwelcome and discouraging his editing attempt, even if the outcome had some issues. --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 18:05, 12 June 2015 (CDT) Summary: All contributions to DoomWiki.org are considered to be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 International (see Doom Wiki:Copyrights for details).
