Bloopers
We tend not to allow "bloopers" or "nitpicks" in our articles, as they tend to be subjective and counterintuitive with our goal of writing an encyclopedia. Thanks. :) --Alan 22:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I fail to see how my entry is different than many others, such as the one which starts out as "In the opening pre-titles scene in the torpedo bay..." for the episode In Theory. Further, I do not appreciate the label "nitpick" as used on my edit since it negatively implies unnecessary criticism where I only wanted to document a blooper, something which has been done an many episode pages. Also, an encyclopedia is to be a source for information and not limited to one type, therefore my edit was not "counterintuitive" to an encyclopedia. However, such edit removals are counter to the ideals of a wiki and also run counter to the command to be bold in updating pages. Joshua 01:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
