While I have never really been a fan of wikis, sometimes the subject matter can lend itself to one.
I was interested in seeing the Macross Compendium go Wiki, as it would speed up the filling in of areas Egan didn't have the time for.
But, What the ****?
Does anyone else see that having a Wiki about a bunch of TV SERIES (and OAVs & Movies), where one cannot use EPISODE DIALOGUE to cite as a source is so beyond counter-intuitive and counter-productive to be downright insane?????
Currently, one can only cite WRITTEN sources for the Compendium, other than visual references (i.e. where the entry being discussed appears in footage). EVERYTHING else is being reverted by Azrael and the rest.
I can see possibly dealing with issues arising from separate fansubs/legal subs, but my GOD, there should be enough Japanese speakers in the fans to cross-check the data, especially if they went to a "moderated wiki" format where everything has to be approved for changes to show.
It's nucking futs!
