I agree with the concept of this article, that said, I think it does need a small edit to show people where they can go to make proper complaints (e.g. not \\\"OMG TAKE THIS ALL DOWN NOW\\\") but if there is a legitimate issue (e.g. the page is full of complaining and TakeThat about their work or the like, it contains personal attacks about them as the author/creator as opposed to criticism about the work), how that can be dealt with.

Suggesting something like this as an addition:

If an article that has been created about your work meets any of the following criteria, you are encouraged to contact a moderator and/or post in Ask The Tropers - keeping in mind to keep as calm and matter of fact as possible.

The article consists \\\'\\\'entirely\\\'\\\' of {{complaining}} about your work and/or is a collection of overly [[TakeThat gratuitous insults]]: in this case you should (if someone else has not already) contact a moderator or post in Ask The Tropers. Such articles are highly discouraged here, and we will do our best to add balance or even cut an article that is nothing but negativity.

The article is an obvious {{Troll}} or is being vandalized on a regular basis: Trolling, nonsense articles, and vandalism are generally heavily frowned upon here, and if the article is obvious trolling or being repeatedly vandalized it may well be removed (if it has no reason for existence beyond trolling) or locked until/if the trolling ends.

The article is an AdHominem attack against you as a creator, or contains several said attacks: You \\\'\\\'are\\\'\\\' free to edit these out yourself under RepairDontRespond, as long as they are clearly aimed at you personally (e.g. something calling you a supporter of AdolfHitler) and \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' at your work (e.g. something saying your story has deeply offensive themes and UnfortunateImplications), and it is also a good idea to report them.

The article has been created to bring in drama from elsewhere: Importing drama here is an instant ban offense. If an article is an obvious attempt to bring in drama from other parts of the internet, report it immediately - it will likely be cut and the creator banned.

The article contains severe factual errors about your work: You may [[RepairDontRespond correct these yourself]] (though do be aware of {{natter}} and emotional overinvestment when you do - if you can\\\'t correct them without adding tons of information that is unneeded or without \\\"defending\\\" your work, it\\\'s generally better to wait for a third party to correct them via WikiMagic, which can be hurried up a bit by posting in the forums, or if the issues are particularly bad, to Ask The Tropers.

Good?
