Talk:The Groundlings

message: Valid citations all-around. At this point, there is no need to delete the alumni list. As previously discussed, another page/section dedicated to alumni of the program/school of improv may be in order. There are many performers who studied at the Groundlings but never became official members of the main company.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diswiz (talk • contribs) 05:57, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Amazing job on citing Alumni 

message: There is no reason what-so-ever that this page be deleted. The Groundlings happens to be one of the most influential comedy troupes in the United States, responsible for a great many respected and notable alumni, including past and current cast members of SNL. 
Also, who deleted the alumni section?
:User:JBsupreme deleted all the alumni (rather than ask for sources for each of the individuals, as would be proper in such a case).  I've replaced them, but he will in all probability delete them again, as he seems determined to reduce or eliminate this article.  As soon as I have time, I will provide citations for as many of the alumni as possible.  While the requirement for sourcing is at the heart of WP, there are hundreds of articles which, in an incidental manner, list alumni or members of the group under discussion without sourcing each and every one.  I cannot suggest that they SHOULDN'T be sourced, of course, but I do suggest that in the case of the Groundlings article, an agenda other than mere adherence to WP guidelines seems to be in play.

replies: text: This posting in and of itself is actually a good example of the issue I've had with your edits.  Despite references being made and additional links being provided, you are still insisting on a level of citation that is simply practically impossible to provide.  I have said it before, but I will continue to post the concept of assuming good faith on the part of Wiki contributors and not be so quick to judge or act tempermental when someone does not aggree with your strict view of Wiki guidelines.  Ultimately the Wiki is a collaborative environment, and the way you are going about these requests bellie the concept of cooperation and seem to be a tad "power hungry" more than anything else.

replies: text: In reference to the above notes, anyone reading this—especially those who edit comedy articles—might want to know the following and take this into consideration. Future Fun Jumper (TIC), was a 'sock puppet'  of a rogue admin who took it upon themselves to slash/burn hundreds of comedy articles. For those unfamiliar with the term, a 'sock puppet' is someone who uses multiple accounts deceive others on and influence others Wikipedia. And in this case, Chris Griswold was an admin who used 'sock puppets' to taunt and bully dozens of comedy and improv related articles. —SpyMagician 00:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
