Absolutely everything that can possibly be said about this race from the source is present in this article. All other entries in the sidebar are unknown. User:Captainmike, can you please explain why you keep stubbing this, rather than waging a cryptic edit war? -- BadCatMan (talk) 15:13, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
- I see information in the body of the article that could be added to the sidebar.
- The edit war you refer to involved your reversion of my edit rather than initiating communication. I've protected the article to prevent you from reverting the addition of the stub message until such time as I have a break in my editing schedule to finish looking at what else could be added. -- Captain MKB 15:16, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
- Based on the information given, this (and Bursen) really have no information that can be put into the sidebar that is not speculation. The RPG doesn't go into any detail about them, since the only thing found were fossils, and the various items in the side bar are all not given, other than the single feature already mentioned. I can't figure out what you think should go into the sidebar, so instead of simply reverting BadCatMan's removal of the stub (which I agree with), can you share what information should go in there? Or even add it yourself?
- Aside: Stub is for short articles. If the sidebar is incomplete, the article is really "incomplete", not a stub. -- sulfur (talk) 18:38, September 14, 2012 (UTC)
Glad to, Sulfur. I have some thoughts on how to add information to the sidebar that will expand these articles. I haven't had time to pick up the work, do the research, etc., so i'd like them to remain on the incomplete list until I get around to it. Apparently my previous statement of this fact wasn't sufficient for some, but do you take me at my word? -- Captain MKB 20:05, September 14, 2012 (UTC)
I refer Sulfur to the previous discussion on this topic at Talk:Bursen, where I previously asked MKB for an explanation or an update and received no response. In all the intervening time, MKB has popped up regularly on the wiki to do his regular stuff, so it appears he's had plenty of time to have a think about this. All known information is present in the article, so I'm sure it's not a matter of research. And I'm afraid Mike's word means nothing to me, not any more.
I recall no other pages on this wiki being required to have a sidebar/infobox, and I can't find a rule for it. But Mike demanded one, so I added it and filled it as best I could, because I'd rather work with my fellow editors than against them. But apparently this still wasn't enough, but I can't even be told why in all this time. I've looked at this several times and still have no idea what can be done. The only thing I think of is making character pages for the archaeologists who discovered them, which I'll do shortly. -- BadCatMan (talk) 02:24, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
