Don t Drain Wikipedia Six months ago I anchored myself into Wikipedia history as the sole creator of the Ernest Scared Stupid article It was my little niche in the World Wide Web a place I could retreat to and acknowledge as my contribution to Planet Earth My happy little world was shattered a couple days ago when I made a daily visit to Wikipedia only to discover your modifications The Ernest Scared Stupid article had been edited by other users in the past and often to my disliking but never to the degree that would warrant me trying to reform the changes made and eventually writing a letter voicing my disappointment You seem to have re formatted every Ernest movie article in a very generic formulaic format All of your articles are bound by a bland sense of rule following Title year genre star director plot MPAA rating and followed by Cast Plot and Trivia To your extensive editing I have the following to say This is Wikipedia not IMDB I don t mind you adding facts such as MPAA rating cast etc But do you have to do so in an ugly database format Believe it or not each article of an encyclopedia and especially a wiki encyclopedia is unique and has artistic merit largely due to the fact that the articles are written by a diverse range of people and do not conform to one another For example the article on Guyana is formatted similar to but not the same as the article on Suriname The photographs are not in the exact same spots and the Content Boxes are not identical Would the Ernest films be so great if they were all bound by the same exact plot structure So congratulations you have edited every single Ernest movie article Any casual research on any Ernest film will feature ideas and information provided by a high school student from Connecticut this fact is used merely to point out the narrowness of the source not to discredit your age or location I seriously feel you are turning Wikipedia into a dull Communist style building complex Ten gray buildings resting side by side 24 rooms each 48 windows etc Spice things up
