Hi! Just to explain in case you wonder, we had to revert your changes to ''[[The Street We Live On]]''. It's fine to note inconsistencies, as we did, but we don't editorialize about them. That doesn't mean you're wrong, just that we want to be encyclopedic in tone, so phrases like "it doesn't make sense" violate that. You can read about [[Muppet Wiki:FAQ#Neutral_Point_of_View|Neutral Point of View]] (or NPOV) here. While we don't always follow the same rules as Wikipedia (and have plenty of our own), that's one we've kept (both to maintain a neutral, facts-only tone and to avoid conflicts because one user's opinion differs from another; if we allow one, even if we as individuals might agree with it, then we'd have to allow edits like "Many people think Elmo is a terrible character" or "The worst Muppet movie is...") |

| − | I noticed you'd made a [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/The_Street_We_Live_On?diff=next&oldid=743263|similar edit] before, so I thought I'd clarify the policy. Feel free to point out inconsistencies or errors, but just don't use POV words like "strangely" etc. or get too far into giving your own personal opinion. (We save that for forums and the like, or when called for, we link to or quote reviews and so on.) Thanks, and I hope this explains things. <ac_metadata title="The Street We Live On"> </ac_metadata> |
