::::::And I'm not sweeping your argument aside; I'm merely pointing out that it holds no more weight than my counter-argument to it, and they suspended in a metaphorical clash of equal force. They are indeed available for others to take stances on. Neither I nor you can sweep the other argument aside based on whether we'd individually be confused or appreciative by the addition. | ::::::And I'm not sweeping your argument aside; I'm merely pointing out that it holds no more weight than my counter-argument to it, and they suspended in a metaphorical clash of equal force.

::::::When it comes down to it, you're treating something that may or may not be helpful in the big picture as something that will almost definitely not be helpful, even to the extent of being ''unhelpful''. Why couldn't we put it on the page, leave it there for a while and see what people think? If people complain, then okay, take it back off. If people say nothing or even display an appreciation for it, then we could leave it! How about that? {{unsigned|UltraX7}} | ::::::When it comes down to it, you're treating something that may or may not be helpful in the big picture as something that will almost definitely not be helpful, even to the extent of being ''unhelpful''.

:::::::And why should I have to look past something wholly tangential to the real purpose of a page? If everyone could add anything that might be useful to a few people, then we'd surely end up with a mess sooner or later. Therefore, there should be a compelling (or perhaps agreeable) need or purpose for what's on a page. | |||
:::::::"Why can't we just put it on the page?" you ask? For one thing, right now, the count is already two people speaking against it and only one for it. The fact that you're the first person to ask for something like this also says a little something (''at least'' a little) about how desired it is. | |||
:::::::For another, this is a wiki, and I have at least as much power as you to edit any page here. If it's added and I feel strongly that it doesn't belong (and I do), I'm well within my "rights" to remove it as soon as I see it. I can always be wrong, but that's part of the risk that, on the one hand, I take, and on the other hand, that any wiki runs. For that sort of reason, if you want it here, (at this point) you should probably achieve some general (and favorable) consensus first. Or, again: you can always just make a user page. At this point, it would probably be a better use of your time to work towards that. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:52, 19 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
