From Bungiepedia

Why do some of these Members have Bungipedia pages? Unless they did something notable, (Being witty, and having a group on a internet forum is NOT notable. Using said group to organize a charity is.)RoboChocobo 04:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Based on the directive from Wikia's owners who allow us to run this site, we must avoid allowing this to become a popularity contest. As a result, we will not decide or censor who does and does not merit having a Bungiepedia page. Anyone who wants to create a page about him or herself is welcome to do so, provided that the page is objectively worded and not spam.

As always, you are invited to provide helpful, insightful input into any Bungiepedia article, be it your own or someone else's. Foman123 06:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't have said it better myself Foman...I will be personally moderating as many of the newly created user pages as I can to assure that it is not spam.--Administrator Gzalzi ^{(You want to die?)} 00:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC) (forgot to sign in)

I'm asking why certain users have BUNGIEPEDIA pages. Not Wikia. The Bungiepedia "members" pages should maintain a focus on members who have made significant contributions to Bungie, and the Community. I don't have a problem with users having a Wikia page.RoboChocobo 01:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

We are not talking about Wikia pages. --Administrator Gzalzi ^{(You want to die?)} 03:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Robo, I should have been more clear. Bungiepedia is a Wikia, owned by a company named "Wikia, Inc." Although Wikia hosts Bungiepedia for free, the tradeoff is that we have to play by their rules. Even though we're called "admin," the admins here (Blahoo, Gzalzi, Zag, and I) do not have the final word on this site's content. That final word belongs to Angela. In other words, we're more like moderators than administrators. We can't really make the judgment calls about what may or may not be posted here as long as it is not spam content and it is Bungie-related. Wikia's owners are extremely concerned about making sure that anybody can contribute. This especially means that we cannot decide what is or is not a "significant enough" contribution to Bungie and the Community to merit having a page about him/herself. As a result, we will continue to allow any user who wants to create a Bungiepedia page about him/herself as long as it is objectively worded in Wikipedia style and not spam content. As always, though, you may feel free to edit these and any other Bungiepedia pages (but please do not destroy them). Foman123 14:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Order

Try and keep the names in Alphabetical order and keep same numbers of names in the columns. --Administrator Gzalzi ^{(You want to die?)} 20:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
