Despite the two weeks having passed with no objections, I still feel like this proposal doesn't define well enough when the 3 sentence rule applies and when it doesn't. Perhaps we can come up with some guidelines for this before it goes through to be a policy? [[User:Fw190a8|Fw190a8]] 12:35, 11 August 2007 (UTC) |

| + | I think a three sentence rule would be detrimental to the wiki as a whole due to the facts that; the wiki is a repository for all Forgotten Realms knowledge which should not be limited to only the larger content (or longer winded), some content only deserves a short comment (even if the comment is only to state that the subject was mentioned once in some obscure source), some sentences (such as this one) can contain a large amount of information due to a list-like nature or use of clauses and sub-clauses, and finally the users should not dictate content (what is and is not allowed, especially because "it's to little information" and the page "looks bad" with only a few sentences) as this wiki is for the Forgotten Realms, the Forgotten Realms dictates the site, brining with it vast amounts of information for some topics and vague hints of information for others. |
