recently the "dogpound page" formely known as the "chris bradford page" was edited and replaced by a "rahzar page". why can't we have a page for chris bradford, a  different one for dogpound and a new different one for rahzar? tecnically they're three "different" characters and they deserve their own pages. the same thin g happened to spike, his picture and page name were replaced by slash an now we don't have a spike page (or a chris bradford page, or a dogpound page). They're the same character. Just because they have a new identity doesn't make them someone else entirely.

I'm trying to make this work like the other comic wikis. Just because Kyle Rayner has been every lantern color ever doesn't mean he gets a "Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern), "Kyle Rayner (Orange Lantern)" etc. James Rhodes has been Iron Man, War Machine, Iron Patriot, and probably something else I've forgotten - but he only gets one page.

I've been toying with the idea of making the page (character's real name) (version) - like Hamato Yoshi (2012 TV series) and then his "current identity" would be Splinter. Chris Bradford as the page name, current identity Rahzar, and then previous identity/alias would be Dogpound. That's the way the other comic Wikis have it, like Otto Octavius (Earth-616) current identity Spider-Man, former identity Dr. Octopus - like that. I'm not sure how others would feel about that. That's the thing, even though I am pretty much in charge of the Wiki, I'm not going to change everything even if I felt like it. That's selfish. Every major change I've put into place has either been suggested by someone else, or has been adopted by someone else.

Which brings me to my next point... you've only been here since August, and you're getting irate about the way we run things? That's the only people who have ever thrown a stink - veritable newbies. You don't walk into the supermarket or the mall and demand that others cater to your needs, do you? Of course not, or at least I hope not. This is a community-driven project and we need to do our best to make this information fun and easy to access for everyone. If I gave into the demands of everyone that wanted their way, this place would be ten times more chaos than it already is. Suggestions are always welcome, but you know what they say about catching flies.

I've been working on some changes, both big and little, for a while, and some things in real life have come up. As long as you have a little patience and a little faith, things just might turn out alright.
