And...the Wikipedia auditors just ripped me a new one.
Makes me really feel good about contributing content on there...
What exactly happened ?
The usual. Delivering feedback about formatting and citation quality in an incredibly rude way, telling me the article is a stub and I don't have enough content and independent references. That I haven't proven that the album as noteworthy and threatening to take it down. Oh, the arguments I had when I starting posting the solo albums ... ~ "but Chloë hasn't sold a begillion copies of her album, so it shouldn't be on Wikipedia. If we let you post this than any no name artist can just come and post their own stuff on here to promote it." Excuse me? Do you know who you're talking to? You can trash my formatting if you want, but do NOT be disrespectful about the girls or minimize their work.
Sigh... that was a while back but I basically put my project aside of documenting the solo albums because it was getting frustrating dealing with them, getting criticized, and having to defend the legitimacy of
albums. So if you're wondering why the album lists for some of the girls is incomplete, it's because I never finished filling stuff in.
Most of their gripe this time was about nit-picky formatting. If something doesn't adhere precisely to their style guide, they freak out. "Improper tense used in this sentence. This word should be in italics, what were you thinking...now I have to fix it myself." I mean I get that they want things to look uniform and I get it must be frustrating as heck to have to audit thousands of articles that don't conform precisely to the guide, but it already takes a LOT of time to do those articles, especially sourcing / fact checking. To go through the style guide for everything I type would make that process totally impractical.
Anyways, that's as much as I want to say about it aside for expressing my emotion, which I will do in the Rage Scream thread.
