Talk:Martian Menace

I flagged this for two purposes:

1- To test the template and the response to.

2- Because some of the language in the "Faction Strengths" section may be biased. Is this faction really "the best" at anything? Overly "dramatic" words like "terrible" should be avoided to. Merely say something like "Is comparatively weak at brawling when compared to other factions". Though I could not agree more with the general assessment, it should still be as objective, unbiased, and neutral as possible. ---Galactus 16:17, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Would it help to just add the phrase "one of the" before? "One of the best" gets the same message across without making it a strict fact. Comparatively, "one of the worst" basically says the same thing as terrible without sounding so... mean? --Tekkactus 16:24, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, as far as I'm concerned what you suggest would work great. These areas for strategy and the like are pretty much the only areas where this kind of problem can happen on the wiki, but as a result we should be mindful to be as fair as possible when contributing to these areas. ---Galactus 16:28, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm with the ole gal here, (you don't mind if I call you "ole gal" do you, Galactus?) I think it's fine to say "one of the..." because really... does GUARD brawl much better?  Reaper is potentially a really nasty brawler.  It's just that it doesn't have any support from the monsters. -&gt;Prowland 18:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I will tolerate your new fangled moniker... ;). It really just comes down to keeping yourself in the Wiki mentality when you do your writing.  The style, types of words uses, etc., all changes with the medium for which one writes; be it a blog, forum, wiki, newspaper, novel, or the like.  Wikis work best with minimal flavor, style, and moderated expression as a whole.  As for this article, the problem in question comes down to being merely semantics, but when all you have are words (aside from pictures) as is the case here, words matter.  ---Galactus 19:09, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have fixed the offending statements and apologize. As an English Major and writer I am used to hearing that I have not been descriptive enough, rather than the other way around. I will attempt to maintain a more "Wiki" style of writing in the future. Although I am attempting to remain as academic as possible I have the greatest experience with Martians out of all the factions and so am strictly writing from experience. If anything I am biased towards the Martian Menace, but I feel their weaknesses are rather extreme in some regards. --Slayer Dragonwing 17:37, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Make no mistake, your efforts are continually appreciated. We're not looking for perfect edits each and every time, but with any luck, some healthy discussion, and a good bit of collaboration we'll get it there eventually. :)  ---Galactus--- 17:04, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
