Character descriptions

edit

Hi I’m Pipamidalton! User Filipinoman9103 removed the characters’ descriptions in today’s edits at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/880212806

If the guideline states character descriptions are not within Wikipedia guidelines then we should adhere to that. I’ve requested Filipinoman9103 to provide the Wikipedia guideline that specifically addresses character descriptions. Several edits and efforts were exerted by different editors on the character descriptions in this article and it was removed without a real explanation in the edit summary. Wikipedia encourages a community of editors to participate in good faith edits, to fix errors in grammars or awkwardly phrased sentences, and delete vandal edits, edit errors and good faith edits that are against the Wikipedia guidelines. I have not seen the guidelines Filipinoman9103 refers to specifically, but I do know Wikipedia guidelines for character descriptions are allowed. What isn’t allowed are labeling. Specifically, editors should refrain from labeling, I.e. - protagonist, antagonist, etc. See WP:PROTAGONIST

The guidelines state that If roles are described outside of the plot summary, editors are to keep such descriptions concise. Interpretations in the form of labels (e.g. protagonist, antagonist, villain, main character) should be avoided. Please advise the specific guidelines referred to, otherwise, I feel we should revert Filipinoman9103’s edits, and bring back previous edits, since much work had been done by other editors. If you wish to discuss, message me in my Talk page. If I’m wrong I will wholeheartedly agree with Filipinoman9103’s edits.ThanksPipamidalton (talk) 01:13, 27 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Filipinomsn9103 has not replied nor provided specific Wikipedia guidelines he refers to when he removed character descriptions. As such I’ve edited shorter character descriptions into each character identified Pipamidalton (talk) 22:08, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
