Talk:Mena, Arkansas

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?

Mena Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament

You told me to take it to the talk section so here I am making a discussion as to why several retards are not letting us post about it. It is our town. The tournament was a big thing to ALOT of people here because this town is mainly just a retirement community. Up until the tournament was started, there was nothing for kids and teenagers to do.

So seeing as how it is OUR town and this is an Encyclopedia, which might I add, give information on places as well as people and geographical locations. We should be able to say anything about our town on here, to allow other people to know about it. We are not advertising the tournament. It has been shut down for a year and a half now. We just want to leave a little something about our town on here. Though, because of a few people that have proved everyday now that they have no life, we have had to keep adding it back on daily. I don't see why we can't put something like this on here. Especially since you have the gay crap about the "Clinton Scandal". Noone cares about that shit anymore. If you haven't noticed, IT'S NOT THE 90S ANYMORE. We have a new president and before long, we will have another. Then guess what? We will have another. It's old news. Besides I don't really like it associated with my state, but have I removed it? No.

That's my 2 cents.....

Making personal attacks such as calling those who disagree with you "retards" won't help you in the debate. *Dan T.* 04:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

And I erased it. Get a MySpace page. JChap2007 17:14, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Do you realize, it was there for nearly 3 weeks... Before you guys decided you have a quota or something to reach, and removed it?! Thats what makes me mad... It was there, perfectly fine.. Then people shorten it.. If I was told to shorten it, I would have MYSELF... Then, its removed completely..... You guys have no reason to do what you do... I mean, think about it.. If you come to Mena, Arkansas... And ask what is there for kids to do... They say... "Hmm... Nothing much except this Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament every week or so... Does your kid like that?"........ You come to this town & ask who runs it, everyone knows our names... We've had the Mayors kids come... Teachers kids come.... We're the most well known people from this town since Lum & Abner(If your to ignorant to know who they are since you don't live here.. LOOK IT UP)...

All you people on here care about is getting your "Contributions" count up... Thats why I don't change this page while signed in most of the time(Until you decided to block me from editing un-signed in..)... I don't care about my contributions.... I just wanted the most well known thing in Mena, Arkansas... LISTED.. On a page.. That happens to be.. ABOUT MENA, ARKANSAS... Its not like I went to RANDOM pages & threw it up... No......... I didn't go to the Arkansas page.. AND THROW IT UP... NO.......... I went to MENA... ARKANSAS... And put it up....

Plain & simple.. Thats all I have to say about it.. 63.215.28.84 21:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that despite verbal abuse on the talkpage and in your edit summaries, more than one editor attempted to include some appropriate version of the material you had included in the article. While it is arguably worth a minor mention to include a local weekly tournament, it certainly wouldn't justify more than a passing reference. Remember that wikipedia articles are read by people from countries all over the world; how much information does an Australian reader actually need about the tounament? The purpose of these articles is not to promote a place or event, simply to provide useful information about it. The quantity of info included must be related to it's overall applicability. As an FYI, one of the keys to success in WP is being able to work with other editors, to produce the best articles possible. Doc Tropics 21:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Alright... Your right... You tried to minimize it, and we weren't exactly happy about that.. And just when I was about to edit it & shorten it myself(To a version, that, no offense... DIDN'T SOUND STUPID)... And when I open the page, I see that EVERYTHING had been removed by 3 different people.. Like you weren't happy with tearing the section apart.. You had to rip everything up... THAT, is what pissed me off!!!!!!! And so, we got into a "revert" war... And then my friend Justin(Kay) got involved... And yada yada....

Now, I am not exactly sure what a person from Australia would be doing on a page about a town in Arkansas hardly ANYONE has heard of... BUT, news flash.. Yu-Gi-Oh! is pretty big all over the world.. LOL

I'm willing to compromise.. However, I doubt it'll happen... But, worth a shot... Nicholas Worth 23:39, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
