The Wiki Revival - Article Writing Competition - Voting

Scorpions: Rewritten tutorial
War: Rewritten article

Note that I didn't vote for Devtal either, due to several issues, but at least I could consider it. The other two were non-options.

Devtal; rewritten deck, rewritten strategy over and over and over again. Many people who occasionally play EtG do not know about War (or about its rules at the very least) and they don't know how to make good and original Scorpion decks. But I doubt that they don't know how to build a proper Devtal, especially if you consider how may people use it at PvP (especially PvP1), a FG uses it (Decay), how many Arena decks are Devtals and how often players use variations of Devtal to farm the Arena.

You completely missed the point of my post.

You completely missed the point of my post.

In that case, I think I need a more detailed answer in order not to miss the point. Please, explain it further...

It says this: 'Article Writing Competition'

Not this: 'Article Modifying Competition'

Or this: 'Article Pasting Competition'

Devtal is actually an original written article. Yes, it's about a well-known deck that probably didn't need further coverage, yes, it's not really suitable for a wiki (in fact, neither is the scorpion guide - wiikis should be opinion free), so I didn't vote for it. But at least it was written for the competition and not a rehashing of previous work.

In this case, shouldn't these 2 articles be removed from the competition in the first place? Since they are allowed, aren't they both a viable option? Please take in mind you are much more agressive towards the other 2 articles than I am towards the Devtal article.

[ddevans96]

It was up to the COs whether or not they should be allowed. They were, so people should feel free to vote for them. I don't see my aggression, all I said is that they were modified, not original, so that excluded my vote. But for you to say this:

The worst article wins? An article about devtal which couldn't be shorter? And with a very good War article and an awesome suggestion of various Scorpion-based strategies? Is this for real voters?

I have nothing against UTA. But I have lots of hate to the voters...

This isn't aggressive?

[ARTHANASIOS]

Yes it is. However, I doubted the quality of UTA's article, but I don't doubt his reliability or the right to participate in the voting process.
You claim (possibly without noticing) that Adretimpa's and ian's articles are just a copy-paste attempt, something that shouldn't be even allowed to participate, something that should almost be considered a cheat or something which I find pretty offensive towards these two honorable community members.
I have no hate towards UTA, but yeah, I find his submission to be the one with the least good quality within it.

As for the voters, yes, I have hate. Not litterate hate, but yeah, I am angry. This is not the first time the voters vote for the person rather than the work (again, no offense towards UTA, but yeah, the voters should be offended a little bit and change the way they think and vote).

reason for editing: Wrong use of the word "viability" which was replaced with the word "reliability" which is the word I really meant to use.

Please reread my statements. I said multiple times they are both modified articles. ian's is based on his scorpion tutorial previously on these forums, and andre's takes work from a previous war article on the wiki. Never did I said they shouldn't be allowed to participate, or that it was cheating, those are both your assumptions and your words. I just stated why I didn't vote for them, as a counterpoint to your statement that you were disappointed in voters for voting differently than you.

I see. I really thank you for clarifying this.

[ddevans96]

You're very welcome :3

I'll just say this:

Is there really a wiki article we can make, in the actual style of a wiki?
I feel the wiki is laden with opinions, if that's a concern.
