I disagree that any reorganization was needed. The page was fine just the way it was, and if it needed reordering it could have been done by adding a few new genre folders instead of splitting it into \\\"timeless classics\\\" and \\\"other stuff\\\". Also, how the hell do you display \\\"dignity and humanity\\\" in a fanfic? Am I the only one who thinks that splitting the First Class Section from the rest of the stuff feels like something the mods -- particularly the really anal-retentive ones -- from TheOtherWiki would do? I can\\\'t look at this list without thinking of all the \\\"True Art is X\\\" pages anymore.
These recommendations are based entirely on our own entirely subjective opinions, and there are several fics on the First Class Section that I, for one, would not touch with a ten-foot pole (\\\'\\\'The Shadow Chronicles\\\'\\\', for instance). Similarly there are a few fics there that I would say don\\\'t deserve to be called timeless classics even if they are very good (\\\'\\\'The Titans And The Lost Boy\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'Dark Titans\\\'\\\', for instance, both of which I originally recced and which I wrote the trope page for). Rather than focusing on ensuring that we only have the top 10%, I think we should leave this page open for any fics that people recommend and impose no criteria on said fics save that someone thinks they\\\'re worth reading (We do still have \\\'\\\'My Immortal\\\'\\\' on the \\\'\\\'Harry Potter\\\'\\\' page, don\\\'t we?), barring only the {{Shameless Self Promoter}}s who have no business pimping their own stories here.
If we really \\\'\\\'have\\\'\\\' to regulate the entries we allow on the pages, then we should base it around the recommendations themselves, not some subjective rating system like what we have going now. Say for instance that any entry that accumulates a \\\"score\\\" of -5 or so (that is, five negative recommendations or one positive and six negative and so on) can be deleted but everything else stays the way it is. I would greatly prefer such a system over someone arbitrarily splitting \\\"classics\\\" away from \\\"personal ([[CoughSnarkCough CoughLesserCough]]) recommendations\\\".
