Talk:Tim Rice
From Countdown
Revision as of 19:02, 5 February 2024 by Christy Cooper (talk | contribs)
Why was the snark on Tasha Ghouri’s page removed but the snark on Tim Rice’s wasn’t?
I don’t mind the snark staying, if the snark about Tasha gets reinstated- lots of pages have elements of comedy to them- Geoffrey Durham, Philip Franks, Joan Bakewell etc —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christy Cooper (talk • contribs) 14:25, 30 January 2024
- I agree. Let Wikipedia do the po-faced stuff. We should be able to have some fun.--Launchballer (talk) 17:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- That's with the important caveat that Wikipedia is actually doing the po-faced stuff, which it now does.--Launchballer (talk) 11:44, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- A few of us don't like those type of comments and opinions on articles, so to stay on the safe side, I think they're better off excluded. TobyMcDonald 18:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- But by that same logic, if those who dislike snarky comments think they’re “better off excluded”, why aren’t they removing them from pre-existing pages? One rule for some guests and another for others? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christy Cooper (talk • contribs) 16:51, 2 February 2024
- I agree with the issue of inconsistencies - if you want to go around removing this stuff then do so, but don't have a go at those of us who like being a bit more humorous. It was well established in 2009 that "it's not like genuine guest pages are serious autobiographies". The Doctor (talk | contribs) 20:46, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Christy - maybe they aren't aware of it, and I thought we should come to some sort of agreement before changing anything. Rhys - wouldn't it be better to write humorous comments and opinions on user pages, social media or forums? Other people shouldn't/can't edit those. And I wouldn't say a 15-year-old comment on a hard-to-find page is carved in stone. TobyMcDonald 18:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Some sort of agreement would surely be either a) snarky humorous comments are allowed no matter who the person is, or b) the articles all have to be completely serious and informative- not one rule for some guests and another for others.
