This is a mess: Rationalism Literature

So, the YTTKW had only one reply that said it needed a revision. Apparently, all that was changed was a single paragraph and it got launched anyway.

It would probably need to go in Useful Notes anyway.

What the hell is this even supposed to be? At the moment, it feels like some sort of self-promotion, though I'm not exactly sure what it's promoting.

Sounds like it should be cut and sent back to YKKTW then.

First off, it's a page describing a style of literature — it should be in the Useful Notes namespace.

Second, it needs to be made to read less as a love letter to the Rationalist movement.

I thought it was a sub genre?

Good gods, talk about gushing about literary movements you like. I don't know quite what to do with this, but it certainly needs a rewrite, among other things.

Still support cut and re-ykttw.

^Agreed.

Yep. Me, too.

Okay, I re-YKKTW'd it, but Fast Eddie moved the perma-link and I don't know where it is. I'll Cut List the page though, if somebody wants to edit both in.

I just realized that the Cut List now Red Link locks a page when it's cuts it. Should I still Cutlist it?

Yep. The redlink lock is easy to take off. It's just to keep people from turning around and remaking a page that's been cut without at least finding out why it was cut.

Can you point me to the "permanent YKTTW link" button?

It's the thingy-icon in between the flag and the word "comments" in the upper right corner of the YKTTW box

Ah. click me◊

Wait, shit, wrong item.

YKTTW for Rationalism Literature.

I'm confused — the link goes to a launched article. Has another YKTTW been set up for this one or not?

I haven't a clue. I never did anything with it.

The page is still cut, maybe they put it on Rationalist Literature? You're the one with the supreme modly powers.

Nothing was done? Post 11 you informed the thread that it had been re-YKTTW'ed. That was an error?

Re-YKTT Wed as in "I put up a copy in YKTTW". It has since disappeared, somebody may have launched or discarded it, let me check my page.

Okay, here's the YKTTW. I'm not doing much with it because I have no idea what the hell it's supposed to be. I don't really know any of those writers beyond Stuart Slade, and I've only read one of his work, The Salvation War. If it's about "themes" I can't really help you, I'm pretty much blind to the bloody things.

The YKTTW description still reads more like worship then anything else.

That's because it's a direct copy paste job. I'm not a writer, and I've honestly not got a clue what separates these stories from a particularly aggressive bout of Doing In the Wizard style stories.

EDIT: Disregard post. Missed sequence of events.

Issue being handled in YKTTW and page doesn't currently exist. Locking.
