Vanity

I'm not sure, but wouldn't this be a vanity page? It's well developed, but it's about the author. If it isn't, than the article might still need to be edited to include a neutral point of view.--Zyborg22 13:35, 8 August 2005 (PDT)

Are you sure you have read the entire vanity page article, like me, rather than just the summary? -Paladin

That's why I'm asking. I'm not quite sure if this page fits within the guidelines of being a vanity page, so I'm leaving it up to a SYSOP to decide. I also think the "people think he's awesome" vibe of some of the text doesn't help much. Besides, it can always go onto your user space if it is deemed to be a vanity article--Zyborg22 13:52, 8 August 2005 (PDT)

This seems like with some refactoring, it could comply with NPOV. Deletion of gratuitous adjectives is probably the first thing to do. --Lizthegrey 14:00, 8 August 2005 (PDT)

The article merely states that people say that he is awesome and they do. It's important in the story of Paladin. I'm not going to be modest and lie just because I wrote it myself. -Paladin

I've reverted the last edit, but it almost seemed to fit in with the rest of the article. To be perfectly honest, it doesn't look like anybody has ever really rewritten this page, beyond a bit early on. (I can see why: It's very well-written. But it isn't necessarily written in what you'd call an encyclopedic fashion.) Should it be rewritten? I suppose one could argue that at this point, it doesn't really contain much un-encyclopedic content: It just happens to be written in a style, and with a floridity, which isn't generally used on YPPedia. Of course, it could well be largely moot: It was all written some time ago, so much of the content is probably out-of-date (though the player seems to still be around). Rewrite to normalize style and wording, or leave in its normal fashion and just try to gather some new info (or hope Paladin adds newer stuff himself)? --Emufarmers 21:13, 26 May 2006 (PDT)

Cleanup

Instead of starting an edit war does this article need cleaned up? It's full of NPOV issues and is generaly not of a wiki standard. The image also doesn't seem to show the Paladin that the majority of the article is about as confirmed by it's caption. --Angelbeaver ^(talk) 14:26, 8 October 2006 (PDT)

To qualify as encyclopedic content, the picture would indeed have to be of the pirate who is the subject of the article. --Eurydice 14:38, 8 October 2006 (PDT)

It is. --Paladin

Do not be deceived, he does in fact have a black beard.

And the Paladin on Midnight is not female. --Angelbeaver ^(talk) 07:44, 9 October 2006 (PDT)

Good thing the article isn't just about the Paladin on Midnight then. I honestly don't see the problem. The image is relevant to the article. The caption is just supposed to be slightly humorous. --Paladin

Perhaps, but it's not at all encyclopedic. --Angelbeaver ^(talk) 13:55, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

The image? It's relevant, and I don't know how any image can be encyclopedic. --Paladin

At the very least you should mention in the caption that it's Paladin on the ______ Ocean in addition to your quip and that should cover it just fine. --Guppymomma 15:19, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Yeah, someone could do that. It'd be more encyclopedic I guess. --Paladin

Great. Would you mind telling us which ocean that is on? :) --Angelbeaver ^(talk) 15:00, 15 October 2006 (PDT)

I believe it's in the article, actually. --Paladin

Paladin as he may appear on one or more of the oceans.

That is most certainly not encyclopedic. --Angelbeaver ^(talk) 16:28, 20 October 2006 (PDT)
