Guidelines

Hello. These are the various policies that had some part in the redirection of the Ben 10 episodes.

(WP:WAF)

• They lacked cited sources on the page
• The individual events of single episodes were an unencyclopedic aspect of the series when compared to the overall plot, yet gets more space than whatever parts of the series are encyclopedic
• They were completely in-universe

(WP:FICT)

• The articles are almost entirely plot summaries.
• They belong on Wikibooks rather than Wikipedia

(WP:TRIV)

• The articles had numerous instances of non-integrated trivia.

(WP:EPISODE)

• The articles did not break off of the main page due to sustainable secondary-source info, and were instead created on a whim.
• The articles were not even broken off of the main episode list due to sustainable secondary-source info, but were also created on a whim.
• The plot summaries were not brief.
• Very few episodes have relevance in ongoing story arcs.
• None of the episodes have no critical reviews; there was also only minimal broadcasting and publication information
• The synopses described each scene in excessive detail.
• A merge would not have reduced the coherency or quality of the final article.
• There were no sources available other than the episode itself.

(WP:F)

• Lengthy plot summaries can be used as substitutes for the real thing; I know for sure that I used them as substitutes for when I missed an episode, and they worked just fine.

In any case, the summaries are not actually technically gone. They were not deleted, but rather turned into redirects. If you go to a particular single episode's page, you can check its history and look back at how it used to look (note that beyond Season 3, none of the episodes had individual articles). Just don't revert, or you might cause a bit of trouble. You Can't See Me! 07:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
