Well, I never saw the original request for the event. Like I said, I never see the wikinews template, so I had no idea that it was even being voted on. I'm not even sure how I came across the page in the first place.Gotcha. So if you had seen it, you would have brought up the concern that the article is not appropriate for the gravity of the event? (or you know, whatever)

Neither Karek or Sonny speak for the MOB (I don't even know if they even have MOBsters); it would be inappropriate for MJS to speak for two hordes instead of one. Regardless, none of them are MOB officers.Aight, fair enough.

My complaint is and has been that the article's tone - particularly it's pro-survivor, recruitment oriented slant - is not appropriate for an "official" stamp. That's all. Nothing less, nothing more.I agree. However, you ran into a lot of emotions, from sadness that Ron is gone to laugher that a wiki for a game has to be serious. Some people would have backed off and tried to compromise at that point, and others would have pushed on with their original request. I don't know which is right.

As far as not coming here first, well. I wasn't aware that I needed the permission of the NMC to make wiki edits or to discuss wiki policy.Of course not. I just feel that it would have been the nice/polite thing to do. This concerns us, and maybe we could've worked something out before going through the official channels of the wiki. That's what I'm saying, not that you needed our 'permission' or anything.
EDIT: My post about you telling us what we are was perfectly serious, though sometimes that's hard to tell with me.
