NPOV

Pretty much, your entry is written like a bio on a fan site. There's nothing wrong with that. However, it is out of place in an encyclopedia. You are stating an opinion, namely that she kicks ass. While it's ok to state that, that opinion cannot belong to the writer. You have to be somewhat neutral on the issue.

all you had to say was neutral point of view.

i could have figured that one out without having to read it.

Since the author of thread said it was uninteresting from a nessaholics standpoint, I assumed that's what was wanted for the site.  

You can change it all you want.  Like i said, I was just doing what was requested in the first post.

Um...well, I actually just said of the article: "it's terribly barren, boring, and un-informative (from a Nessaholic perspective)"--meaning that there's not a lot of content in the article at all, and although someone going through the encyclopedia wouldn't necessarily need to know all of what's in your edit (which I think is great, by the way), it certainly could be made to be a lot more informative. Sorry for any confusion I caused :oops:

Will's right, though, it's not quite as neutral as an encyclopedia article should be. I do think that the "Nessa kicks ass" message in it is pretty subtle, and artfully done, but still strong enough that "wikipedians" would object. But it's certainly a whole lot better than what was there before...
