le sigh.... Lordofninjas1, I don't know why this isn't clear yet. The changes you propose ARE NOT BETTER. Example: One of your issues was creating pages for the Guardians of the Galaxy characters. When it was pointed out that their names were not set in stone, your suggestion was "We can just make them, and then delete the pages or change the names if they're different. It only takes 30 seconds!"

This site contains a number of interconnected features (such as automatically generating categories, and detailed edit histories) that all functino together. As such, making a change to one part of the puzzle (in this case renaming a page) effects a number of other parts of the site. That is why processes like renaming or deleting pages can take weeks at a time, sometimes months if the page is not a priority.

And to be very frank about the situation, the policies and processes that are in place now have been working just fine for the past 7 years from the time the site was founded until now. The only reason any of this is being questioned is because YOU are demanding change because YOU feel that YOUR way would be an improvement over what we have now. The problem is that you have failed to convince anyone else that your way is right, and don't seem to be able to accept the fact that the website is not bending over backwards to cater to your changes.

To recap, it's not that we are opposed to change in any way, but the change you are currently pushing for does not better the site in any way. Perhaps it would benefit you to learn more about how the site runs instead of coming in and immedietely attempting to change things to a way that you approve of. I've very much grown tired of talking this to death, and I'm really hoping that we can let this subject die now. I'm sure the community would more than welcome you into the fold as a contributing member, but butting heads and crying for unneeded change from day one is not the way to go about it.
