But was I correct about the modification to the notability rule?

While this is silly rules lawyering

It is not rules lawyering. IT is just pointing out the guidelines. We cut things for being 'porn' and 'pedophilia-pandering', not for being 'rapey'. If a work has tons of rape and, yet, is not porn, than it is not to be cut. Therefore, one shouldn't use 'has lots of rape' as a reason for cut.

(I know nothing about that particular work, btw, just pointing this out)

[down]Right, fixed.

Alright, I know I probably didn't make the best first impression, but that is just kind of a thing with me. W/e, I'm over it. At any rate, is there a list of works that have been appealed and accepted as being okay to fix? Seems like a good idea to get started on that as soon as possible.

I'd like to bring back the Horrible.Fan Fiction if that's okay.

It could be easily kept SFW by simply preventing links and in-depth descriptions, and the person who removed it most likely had an agenda against YMMV.

If I recal correctly, that page was cut after a troll attacked someone else with it.

Great, you leave for one day, and 10 pages show up.

Why do I even try to stay on top... oh wait, it's because I like this website, right.

On that note, was their a decision made on Lolita? and if not, can we please, please, please, have one made? I'm pretty sure it would get restored, and the fact is its being used as a rallying point for animosity against us. Over and over again I see people saying "Well it was annoying, but now that they've cut Lolita, I'M MAD."

I'm not saying that it shouldn't be cut. But the quicker a decision gets made, the quicker I stop seeing people in the Absent People thread cite this as the "final straw".

For some reason, the Page Restoration Petitions page has an entry for a work that never had a page to begin with:

Breaking The Waves (note: I don't know if this was the only von Trier movie to NOT have a page, or if it got deleted, which is strange because it's one of his tamest works.)
I checked the link, and there's no lock, so it is not a previously cut page. What to do?

If it's been decide that it's getting a page, does anyone mind if I add a bullet point to it that says "this work is getting a page"?

Also, thanks for answering my question.

Why was Pokegirls erased?

Yes, the premise about Taming= sex and genitalia pun was part of the core of the verse, but it also was about new societies, the thematic of loyalty, what is human (both humans, transplanted humans supposedly supremacy, gods and machines-the fact that Pokegirls need taming, if that makes them less and if it should be lobotomized from them or they should be accepted with all their follies as human fiction constantly affirm for humans), the circle of revenge, reality vs fantasy (The Author insert fic) and what is society and the good, bad and what should be changed for the better.

There was some... silly edit about being a rape-fest, which was completely unfair and obviously done by somebody who hasn't read a single fic and was only perusing the names and taking Unfortunate Implications (which are constantly revised and discussed by the community) as face value. It's not even the misogynist work it spews,since there is a sizable chunk of the community consisting of women, for crying out loud. In fact these days there aren't even Fics written with lemon in them ...yes, it's sounds weird taking the premise, but most fics just handwave the taming part and it's most about Time-traveling, dimension hopping and military tactics than sex.

Hell, if it's about rape/porn/squick, shouldn't A song of Ice and fire be deleted also? It has at least 10 times more explicit rape scenes per book, bot mentioned and graphic, that the entire Pokekirl verse combined. Or Kushiel Dart with their holy prostitution? Or freaking Paladin Of Shadows which has from rape and rape mutilation, to international pimp guilds with coprophilics punishments to reverse rape/mutilation by willing submissive hardcore masochists with mathematical blind inducing orgasms in between, just to mention a few.

... Thinking about it, seriously, why Paladin Of Shadows hasn't been deleted yet? Yes, it has very well researched... research and good military tactics, but so is Pokegirls with several works passing the thousand pages each one and none going to the level of A So Ia F or Paladin of Shadows routinely deep themselves in. Is it because it's a grim, brutal work about the falls of society and the cut-throat nature of their world?

But that's exactly what Pokegirls is all about it.

It's just doesn't seem fair, specially when the entire work (to my not-liking, but that's the will of the community) had gone to such lengths to Bleach their underpants.

Paladin of Shadows = the first book, Ghost, is the source of the "OH JOHN RINGO NO" meme. I'm not sure how to explain it, as this LJ post does so wonderfully.
