Talk:Spite store

It doesn't help anyone

The redirect just goes to the season, not an explanation of what a "spite store" is, or was, or what it means. Even if the redirect went to the correct episode (anchors anyone?) it isn't explained in the plot summary of the episode. Fxmastermind (talk) 15:21, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Of course nobody responded to that before deleting information. If you are changing an entry to a redirect, which does no help a curious reader, you are killing Wikipedia. Fxmastermind (talk) 16:21, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

When you wonder what to do

When you wonder what should or should not be in an article, ask yourself what a reader would expect to find under the same heading in an encyclopedia.

A spite article

Urban dictionary does a better job than Wikipedia on this one. Fxmastermind (talk) 15:25, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Experience has shown editors that want to remove information never discuss it first

Will this be any different? Fxmastermind (talk) 12:53, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Do you have any evidence that this subject passes WP:GNG? Jalen Folf (talk) 20:05, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Of course. Fxmastermind (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Because you seem oblivious to facts, the term is also the name of the 100th episode of a famous TV series, which not only makes in extremely notable, it makes your deletions an absurdity. That you don't know this is so absurd to me, I didn't think I would have to explain it. But now I have. Fxmastermind (talk) 16:39, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

This is a spite edit

Which only somebody who watches Curbed will understand. Fxmastermind (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

It's ironic and hilarious that anyone cares so much they don't want an article about the Spite Store

Ironic and hilarious both have no article, which makes it far more humorous.

But then humorous also has no article. Good job fellow editors.

I told you there would be no discussion

The user Jalen Folf just deletes content, then refuses to discuss why. I suspect Mod powers and bots being abused. Nobody in the real world has time to make a thousand edits a day, every day, for years. If an actual human conversation was required before deleting information here, how could anyone delete hundreds of pages each day?

And if you think I am talking about you, I certainly am.

ask yourself what a reader would expect to find under the same heading in an encyclopedia

The specious argument is that "spite store" isn't notable, so it should redirect to the article on the TV series where is certainly is notable. This is absurd, it would be like making lightsaber redirect to a page about the Star Wars movies. Without the reader having any idea what a lightsaber is.

Because the editors who are constantly editing here don't understand how things work, they tend to want to remove anything they don't understand, never thinking of the reader, the person looking something up. If you don't respond to this argument, and just revert to a redirect, you are in direct violation of Wikipedia poloicy. Fxmastermind (talk) 16:27, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

If there was an anchor at season 10 episode 10, the redirect would make sense

Why is there no way to put an anchor on a page? As it is now, a redirect offers no information for somebody curious who comes to Wikipedia.

No, I don't expect any Mod or Admin to actually discuss this here. Fxmastermind (talk) 16:35, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

JUST TO HELP OUT HERE

The Spite Store is ALSO the name of episode 100, or episode 10 season 10, of he most famous, well know, most written about TV series in history.

That anyone would ask if it qualifies as notable is one of the funniest things I have ever read on Wikipedia/ Fxmastermind (talk) 16:47, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

I never got a notification on this

Which was expected. So once again, it's a redirect to a page that does not show info. You have to scroll down and find episode 100.

This also mungs the Google search . Now if you search Google for "spite store" you do not see a link to Wikipedia. In effect, it has made it seem Wikipedia has no article for "spite store", or even "the spite store". Good work all around fellow Wikipedia editors. Fxmastermind (talk) 11:32, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
