Talk:Everybody Votes Channel

message: Can somebody rewrite these articles to include the RiiConnect24 replacement in a non-advertising way? Abequinn14 (talk) 18:37, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: RiiConnect24

message: Someone who has the hardware needs to take a new screenshot, the current ones copyright is not verified and will be removed in one week. Also, a screen of a poll being voted on should be included to show the voting system. Info on the updated firmware should be included too, the change merely lets the user set the region, but it should be documented as it is information about how the channel affected Wii development.

message: Sorry to start another section, but really, if you don't want this page deleted, please cite your sources. I'm in the process of updating some of them (or trying to find the information to update some of them)... But please, new information MUST be cited. Thank you, Leif902 21:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cite your sources.... 

message: Just saw that the article has a heading called "Results" and it lists the result of a poll. PLEASE tell me you are not going to keep a score of all the polls in this article! Surely, that kind of trivia is not suitable for Wikipedia. Mausy5043 16:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Mausy. It seems too trivial, and a continual list like that would eventually grow pretty big. I say take it out. Tinlion09 22:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Take it out, this type of information is not what wikipedia is made for. It will grow, and grow, and grow, and will be too big and does not provide much usefull information. Any administrator or moderator will tell you that this kind of content does not belong on wikipedia. Leif902 23:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Results? Aaargh! 

message: Are you sure it was released on 13th February?  The WiiConnect message announcing it certainly wasn't sent to European Wiis until after midnight on the 14th. Tim 16:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release date 

message: I don't think it should be deleted. I just came here explicitly looking for this page, and I found it, which is exactly how Wikipedia should be. None of the arguments for deletion are particularly compelling. --Shinyplasticbag 21:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please use the page specifically for this purpose to discus deletion (see the link in the notification). 71.29.121.239 01:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia isn't a guide to everything Wii related (no matter what people want to think). A voting channel is still too small. RobJ1981 18:46, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don't delete it 

message: Previous discussion can be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Everybody Votes and Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 February 19. No consensus was reached, partially because the size and scope of the page changed significantly during the discussion.
I've restored this talk page so that we can discuss the future of this page on it, rather than constant revert wars. My opinion: it's a full article which does not simply repeat information held elsewhere. It should be kept and expanded.  Tim 12:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I note that User:TJ Spyke isn't willing to discuss this and has instead asked for a redirect and protect, ignoring the deletion review which he had previously commented on. Hopefully the page will be back soon. Tim 14:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's back. Now, can we have a civil conversation about why people believe the page should be deleted? Tim 14:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This page should be a redirect (and protected, so edit/revert wars don't have over it). It's a voting channel, and there isn't much to it (even if people claim there is). 1 paragraph (possibly 2) should be on the Wii Channels article, that's all that is needed at this point (in my opinion at least). In the future: the channel might be more notable, but until then: it doesn't need an article. Also: I hope this page doesn't become a listcruft target. I somehow bet people will add poll results and other cruft that isn't suitable for an encyclopedia. RobJ1981 14:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Results lists have already been started and removed. What do you think is currently on the page that shouldn't be? It's currently far too big to just be merged. Tim 15:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

text:  didn't see the deletion review (and no one bothered to tell me about it) until after it had closed, so don't say I ignored it. Rob pretty much nailed the it. It's just a voting channel, and right now everything notable about it can be (and already is) explained on the Wii Channels article. Also, no one is is saying it should be deleted, just a redirect to Wii Channels. TJ Spyke 21:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You did see the deletion review before you went to the admins asking for the redirect to be protected.  Such a redirect is an effective deletion for this page, which contains significantly more information than the single paragraph on Wii Channels. Tim 12:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restored talk page for proper discussion 

message: Is the page going to be an article?Pendo 4 21:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most likely, no. There is no reason for the article to exist, it would still be a protected redirect if a certain user hadn't requested a deletion review (and not tell anyone about it). TJ Spyke 21:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Most likely, yes.  It contains a substantial amount of information which is useful and informative.  The deletion review (which was, handily, linked to from the AfD) showed significant support for the deletion to be overturned. Tim 12:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Significant? Hahahaha, it was 3-2 in favor of restoring it. All the RELEVANT (not fluff info) is already covered in the Wii Channels page. This article is going to be redirected eventually, either by consensus here of nominating it again. TJ Spyke 22:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So you'll keep on attempting to redirect it until everyone else gets fed up and leaves? Great technique. I'm afraid that your opinion on what is "fluff" and what is "relevant" is not law. Tim 11:14, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

text:  A mod has already decided to keep it, that should be good enough for you. This is a type of vandalism, don't repeat the argument all over again. Leif902 21:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Erm, an admin has not decided to keep it ... an admin has decided that the previous deletion and merge was not adequately debated. Tim 16:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There was also some admins who agreed it should be merged. The discussion to bring it back was 3-2. TJ Spyke 23:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Look at the userboxes on his userpage. He LOVES Nintendo. Tinlion09 01:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly, I just don't think this channel needs a page yet. TJ Spyke 23:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Going to stay? 

message: I think we could do with some illustrative pictures.  In particular:
* showing how you vote
* showing the pie chart of Miis
* showing a regional breakdown of results
The last of these could be good from several regions to see how it's broken down. Tim 11:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pictures 

message: It actually says this when you submit a question. How can you show this as a citation? Tim (Xevious) 11:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the citation is that Nintendo will actually look at the question (which I doubt they look at all of the questions they get considering they probably recieve thousands every day). TJ Spyke 01:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation for "suggest a question" 

message: All discussion should take place on Talk:Wii Channels. Tim (Xevious) 19:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The merger was agreed several weeks ago, and it was never agreed to undo the merger. TJ Spyke 21:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The merger was not agreed weeks ago. Please point to me where such an agreement was made. Tim (Xevious) 09:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In the AFD, where the final result was "Merge". But then one of the people who opposed it kept whining and whining, and even filed a Deletion Review request, until an admin undid the merger (when that happens, they are supposed to let the people who participate in the AFD know so they can comment, but I was never told about it). TJ Spyke 09:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not what happened. One person asked the admins to reconsider the request, based on the fact that virtually all delete votes occured at a time when the article was new and not fully written. This deletion review does not need to let all those who took part know specifically - those who took part should be sufficiently interested to look out for themselves. The admins agreed that the deletion had been erroneous (thereby negating the original vote) and said that the debate should be reopened and restarted, based on the current article. This debate, outlined on the Wii Channels talk page, shows a current majority supporting seperate articles. Tim (Xevious) 11:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The only way any of us who voted would know about the deletion review is if we watch the deletion review page, which I doubt that many people do unless they are trying to get a page undeleted. Also, only some of the people in the deletion review agreed it should be reopened (there was some who thought they should stay merged). It doesn't change the fact that the merger was agreed on. TJ Spyke 11:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A merger was agreed on.  It was agreed to merge the 3-line article. That article didn't exist by the time of the close of vote, and the majority of admins accepted that in the deletion review (which really, given that you were the one who originally put in the AfD, you ought to have kept track of). In fact, it seems as if the only person who doesn't accept that is you!  Since that article doesn't exist any more, it's not possible to merge it. Instead, you've got a nice, long, comprehensive article, which is now being discussed whether to merge or not. And, going by what it says on Talk:Wii Channels, the majority don't want it to be merged. Tim (Xevious) 12:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Keep track of it? I had no idea that whiner would ask for a deletion review, nor would anyone else unless they look at the deletion review log every day (otherwise I would have commented in it). That is what pisses me off, this bitter user queitly files a deletion review and doesn't bother to inform anybody who participated in the AFD. TJ Spyke 12:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please keep your comments WP:CIVIL. It is standard procedure to keep an eye on deletion reviews when you file an AfD - I've done it enough times. In any case, your summary of why the EVC should (then) be deleted didn't apply to the EVC article that was actually deleted, so the overturning was a bit of a no-brainer. Tim (Xevious) 13:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Maybe I shouldn't have called him a whiners. Anyways, I don't know anybody else who watches DRV, and it is not standard procedure (and they don't mention it on the AFD page), especially since someone could file one weeks later. TJ Spyke 00:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: If the Check Mii Out Channel section keeps track of the contests, We should keep track of all the Everybody Votes Channel polls. But I can't find where I can get all the polls. All I need is the records,I will be happy to do all the work.. THX.Jonathan105 (talk) 11:54, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: * We've discussed this a number a times.  Wikipedia is not somewhere to put rivial inormation, like a list of the polls.  A link to the polls that have been carried out is the way to go, and we've already got that in place. Tim (Xevious) (talk) 12:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
