Forum:Is it really necessary?

Is it really necessary to delete most of the stuff added to pages? I recently wrote a good section on the Carpet Bomb page that was useful and relevant to the article, why was it deleted? It was very unecessary. This isn't the first time, very often is useful and non-harmful information deleted. Especially in the Trivia sections, its Trivia! Which means its just random information, its never harmful and can be informative. This is why many of the pages on the site or fairly short, especially the Trivia sections, because of information being unnecesserly deleted BushWookieCamper

If it's poorly written then yes!!! Stop making forums about EVERY disagreement you have! "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 00:32, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

Actually he's got a point. I was the first to post the hinting that Miranda was Halseys daughter. Someone removed it and reposted it, claiming to have found it.

That's not the point. I looked at BushWookieCamper's contribution on the Carpet Bomb page. It was okay, actually, not poorly written. But Braidenvl probably removed it for a reason. Halofan1234 is right though, don't start a forum just for a small matter like this. Just go to the Carpet Bomb's Talk page. — S331  (Talk • Contributions) 07:13, 16 June 2011 (EDT)

But that is only helping THAT article and this is happening all over the site, and the talk pages could be spammed, I don't see why we can't keep information that is relavent to the article. BushWookieCamper

Oh Please stop complaining about some of your contribs being removed "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 19:45, 16 June 2011 (EDT)

Well it isn't helping the site that more than half of the information being written is getting removed BushWookieCamper

If the trivia is REDUNDANT then it doesn't help either! "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 21:00, 16 June 2011 (EDT)

Who says the trivia is redundant? All the facts are different and relavent (most of the time). I understand deleted ones that are irrelavent but back to my first example, give me one good reason my section should have been deleted? Bush Wookie Camper

Like Spartan 331 said there was a reason it was removed. "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 11:45, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

Just not a good reason. Bush Wookie Camper
 * Oh wah! Just don't complain about it. "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 11:58, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

Okay there was no reason to deleted my trivia on Halo.bungie.org, you probebly just did that to annoy me. Those were facts that wern't stated anywhere else. This only helps prove my point that too much useful information is getting deleted! Bush Wookie Camper


 * I can't answer for all edits, but there's often a very fine line between irrelevant and actually relevant trivia. Bulleted trivia sections aren't exactly the most encyclopedic way to convey information to begin with (Wikipedia doesn't endorse their use). We're not Wikipedia and we do use trivia sections, but overall, if the info is notable enough to be added to the article, then it should preferably be integrated to the article text instead of making overly long trivia sections. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 12:04, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

But I try to do that as with my example on the Carpet Bomb page and it gets deleted. Bush Wookie Camper
 * What Jugus said "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 12:07, 17 June 2011 (EDT)


 * During World War II, the United States alone flew tens of thousands of bombing missions, if not more. That was over a four-year span. Over the course of nearly twenty-eight years and on eight-hundred or so planets, the UNSC would have flown hundreds of thousands of bombing runs. Thus, mentioning a handful of carpet bombing missions is superfluous; that would be like mentioning every time someone drove a Warthog or manned an M41 LAAG. That's why the section was removed. --Courage never dies. 12:09, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

Okay honestly?! Now correct information is being deleted, on the Covenent destroyer page, I put Halo First Strike in the appearences section, why was it deleted, I literally just put down the book to check. The same goes for the Scarab page where the first appearence was obviously Halo First Strike but it getrs deleted. Bush Wookie Camper


 * I checked the book about thirty seconds ago, just to be sure. The mining machines in First Strike are never stated to be Scarabs. Considering that Fred destroyed several of them with a handful of plasma mortar bolts, they were certainly much smaller and more lightly armored than Scarabs. It is much more likely that they were Locusts. --Courage never dies. 20:29, 20 June 2011 (EDT)


 * However do u have the 2011 edition? they are clearly stated to be scarabs.


 * My apologies. I do not own the re-released version, just the original printing. If the 2011 edition states that they are Scarabs, please re-add it to the article. --Courage never dies. 23:59, 20 June 2011 (EDT)
 * I do agree with what he's saying but I still find it odd how easily they were destroyed? "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 12:15, 21 June 2011 (EDT)
