I just wanted to say thank you. Sometimes I have these OCD-driven inner monologues that are unrelentingly pedantic in their pursuit of wiki perfection. And this is not necessarily bad, most of the time, as it drives me to help expand the wiki and keep it tidy. Problem is, sometimes it's not just that there are certain areas of extreme completion that aren't such a good idea (Category:Laurasiatherians, anyone?), but sometimes I push on even when I find the subject material very unpleasant. For instance, it has helped me create useful content like File:Bodycount violence.png, even though I found the original page absolutely disgusting&mdash;I did it because it still genuinely improved the article it appears in, because sometimes people have to do things they don't like doing if it will help the wiki. But with that, (ahem,) one comic, I think I felt shut in by a perfect storm of the apparent officialness of the materials and the unusual acridness of its contents&mdash;it was really quite terrible, even for the thing that it was. I found myself relieved when you intervened. To be perfectly honest, I still don't know if I completely agree with the criteria for exclusion for the simple matter that it puts some other officially-produced but informally-released materials into the crosshairs of that same nagging OCD voice. (Ultimately, it's convinced me that Turtlepedia needs to be clearer about what materials it considers official, and whether official production alone, even without official sale and normal methods of distribution, should be considered sufficient enough to warrant inclusion on Turtlepedia.) But I think that, in this one case, it was a decision I needed to have taken out of my hands. The material in question was just too capital-W Weird, and a big part of me just wanted out and to forget about the whole thing.
