::Thank you. The editing guidelines seem vague, especially on what constitutes cleanup per the Cleanup tag. On a related note, a stub is an article that does not contain all the information that could be there, correct? So if an article is short only due to a lack of information (the subject is only mentioned on one page of a novel, for example), does it merit a stub tag? Also, thinking of the articles M70 and [[A2]], how unimportant/short do articles need to be to be nominated for deletion? -- [[User talk:Nutarama|Nutarama]] 17:24, 3 June 2009 (UTC) | ::Thank you.

:::What I use is the M.O.S., proposed in a blog by Subtank a while ago. If I'm cleaning an article, I try to bring it in line with what is outlined there. From that point on, you may use your own judgment. I read your talk page - what she meant was just going in and removing things at random without any explanation. If you leave a note in the edit summary saying that you are cleaning up the article, you won't be bothered. Now, if it's something that may be contested, you can remove it and then bring it up on the talk page (I've done this a few times). | :::What I use is the [[Blog:Improving_Articles_-_Introducing_"MOS"|M.O.S.]], proposed in a blog by Subtank a while ago.

:::As for the nomination for those unimportant articles to be deleted... I've seen articles here on things like [[toilet]]s. Apparently the [[Talk:Toilet|explanation]] is that anything that is mentioned in the Halo universe rates an article. I personally don't care, I find the reaction to it kind of funny actually. That's beside the point, though. It probably will not be deleted unless you can prove without a doubt that it either does not exist in the Halo universe or is simply not mentioned. <b>[[User:Smoke.|<span style="color:Gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Smoke</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Smoke.|<span style="color:Gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Sound off!</span>]]</sup></b> 22:44, 3 June 2009 (UTC) | :::As for the nomination for those unimportant articles to be deleted...
