	Hi there, deleteing a picture in an article without explaination is kinda frowned upon here. Also, it wouldn't be considered a minor edit. Also again, this might not be the greatest idea ever, what with your track record in the last twenty-four hours. --[[User:70.190.251.10\|70.190.251.10]] 03:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)~~<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>~~		Hi there, deleteing a picture in an article without explaination is kinda frowned upon here.

			:Even [[Transformers Wiki:Policies]] aside... how does your statement "they need better captions" justify ''blanking'' all existing captions? These newly-blank captions are no ''more-informative'' than the old ones. They're just ''absent''.
			:Understand- we would have reverted the article even if you ''had'' spent 10 minutes writing dryly-worded descriptive image captions... but you didn't. It's like you're saying to ''us'' "No! Bad!

Look at how much I've just ''contributed''!" -[[User:Derik\|Derik]] 04:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

			It doesn't. I wanted to get your attention so we could talk about this. I don't have the time to come to this site very often, so ''someone else should'' replace the the captions with less stupid but still funny ones. I could also care less about how much I contribute.

			:If in the future you intend to "get our attention" by ''removing content'', then it's a good thing that you don't care how much you contribute -- because it won't be much. --[[User:ItsWalky\|ItsWalky]] 15:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
			:So we've been working on this wiki for a while now, we're happy with it; but wait, Bold Clone doesn't like how it's done! And he's not actually going to do anything useful to contribute, he's just going to illustrate how wrong-headed we are by randomly deleting content! Yeah, we'll get right on those changes, kid. [[User:Chip\|Chip]] 15:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

			:Really, and I mean this in the most friendly way I can, perhaps you are not a good fit for this community and your interests would be better served elsewhere. Less stress for both yourself and us. However I will state that "I don't like this so I'm removing it but it's someone else's job to replace it" is frowned upon in ''nearly all'' wikis. The whole point of a wiki is that since you can edit it yourself you might as well finish the job. If you continue in this fashion I can't really think of too many Wikis that will condone your novel approach, and it just means more work for everyone reverting you.--[[User:Rosicrucian\|Rosicrucian]] 15:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

			:Let me see if I've got this: You don't have the time to come very often, yet you insist on making a mess of things as a way of getting attention so we can talk about something that we've already discussed to death even though you won't be here to discuss it and aren't planning on actually doing anything?

			:I imagine it's also the only wiki you've been to with an article for [[Blackball]]s, too. Could it be that we... do things that other wikis don't?

That aside - the caption arguemnt is an old one, it's '''part of the style guide''', so don't come storming in and get all uppity, and decide that you're going to change the popular way of thinking about here by willfully ignoring the rules without even trying to offer a substitute for what you're trying to change. - [[User:Chris McFeely\|Chris McFeely]] 01:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

			:Even [[Transformers Wiki:Policies]] aside... how does your statement "they need better captions" justify ''blanking'' all existing captions? These newly-blank captions are no ''more-informative'' than the old ones. They're just ''absent''.
			:Understand- we would have reverted the article even if you ''had'' spent 10 minutes writing dryly-worded descriptive image captions... but you didn't. It's like you're saying to ''us'' "No! Bad! Cut cut cut! Now ''someone else'' fill in the holes I just created" and then saying to ''yourself'' "Yay, good for me! Look at how much I've just ''contributed''!" -[[User:Derik\|Derik]] 04:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

			It doesn't. I wanted to get your attention so we could talk about this. I don't have the time to come to this site very often, so ''someone else should'' replace the the captions with less stupid but still funny ones. I could also care less about how much I contribute.

			:If in the future you intend to "get our attention" by ''removing content'', then it's a good thing that you don't care how much you contribute -- because it won't be much. --[[User:ItsWalky\|ItsWalky]] 15:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
			:So we've been working on this wiki for a while now, we're happy with it; but wait, Bold Clone doesn't like how it's done! And he's not actually going to do anything useful to contribute, he's just going to illustrate how wrong-headed we are by randomly deleting content! Yeah, we'll get right on those changes, kid. [[User:Chip\|Chip]] 15:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

			:Really, and I mean this in the most friendly way I can, perhaps you are not a good fit for this community and your interests would be better served elsewhere. Less stress for both yourself and us. However I will state that "I don't like this so I'm removing it but it's someone else's job to replace it" is frowned upon in ''nearly all'' wikis. The whole point of a wiki is that since you can edit it yourself you might as well finish the job. If you continue in this fashion I can't really think of too many Wikis that will condone your novel approach, and it just means more work for everyone reverting you.--[[User:Rosicrucian\|Rosicrucian]] 15:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

			:Let me see if I've got this: You don't have the time to come very often, yet you insist on making a mess of things as a way of getting attention so we can talk about something that we've already discussed to death even though you won't be here to discuss it and aren't planning on actually doing anything?

			Hi there, deleteing a picture in an article without explaination is kinda frowned upon here. Also, it wouldn't be considered a minor edit. Also again, this might not be the greatest idea ever, what with your track record in the last twenty-four hours. --[[User:70.190.251.10\|70.190.251.10]] 03:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>
