Sloppy episode summaries if I ever saw one. We need a project and cleanup on all these crummy pages. I can't do this all alone. Darktruth 00:05, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, this isn't the way to do this, Darktruth. We all know that Beast Machines needs work. A lot of episodes need work. I wrote the summaries for Master of the House and Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future, and I'm the first to acknowledge they could use more work. The best way to get it done is to propse a project on the community portal and see who else is willing to help. -- SFH 00:09, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- DarkTruth, are you aware of WikiProject Beasties cartoon? --RosicrucianTalk 00:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I didn't know! Darktruth 02:18, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- Wait, but isn't that just for Beastwars? Shouldn't there be a seperate project for BM?Darktruth 02:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- Eventually, probably? There are only so many people working here, and we have only so much time to spend on it, and we all have different interests and priorities. There are many, many articles on the wiki that need help. We'd all like for them to all be complete and well-written, but everybody has to make their own decisions about what they want to work on. If you'd like to try to drum up enthusiasm for working on BM summaries in the short-term future, go for it. Create a project page or something. But as SFH says, just complaining that nobody is helping you isn't going to accomplish much. --Steve-o 06:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it's not actually that, but it's weird how Transformers Animated's only aired two episodes and everyone's editing the two lone episode summaries, while the seven-year old show gets no love. (Don't get me wrong, I like TA). Darktruth 00:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Immediacy means they'll get proper summaries. We'll probably never fill in all the UT shows since they're 150 episodes of, well, suck, and there'll always be something better to do. Trying to document 22 years of Transformers is hard. And as Rosicrucian notes... there's only so many people and so many holes to fill. It's very hard to focus people's attention on old material. More eyeballs usually means a better article. (Prowl II seems to be the holt 'old' example that today, with a lot of people arguing about how to best document the character and adding content, and he's hot only because something new happened with the character to focus people's attention on him.) -Derik 00:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

- Besides, Transformers Animated is fresh in everyone's mind. We'd have to go back and watch the episodes of Beast Machines to get the details properly written down. -- SFH 17:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, but I suppose you could just watch 'em on YouTube... Darktruth 20:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
