:That Ranch one is actually in a worse state now. The way I wrote it gave a lot of background detail which made it clear exactly what the mailbag was, and gave some fan feedback which I think was really an essential part of the article; it's good to be reporting what the fans are thinking of this controversial topic. As the news is currently consistently late (rename to Bulbaolds, perhaps), they were genuine opinions and not something I made up to fill in space. Mentioning a few background details also helps to fill an otherwise short article out, and it will let readers know a few specifics about the update, in an attempt to actually help them understand the article. Furthermore, I deliberately did ''not'' use the quote template because of the autocategorization, which I'm not really a fan of. I didn't think it was necessary, not to mention you made a crap job of fixing that up. It really is worse off now.

:Anyway. I'm learning the ropes, I admit that. No one's perfect first time round. You ought be aware of that, Immewnity. &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana">[[bp:User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#000">darklord</span>]][[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 23:23, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

::First, you say "''The articles told the facts''", then contradict with "''gave some fan feedback''" and, even more, "''they were genuine opinions''". Opinions are not to be used in articles, unless the article is completely about fan reaction towards something, such as if a riot broke out at the Nintendo World Store due to a game not being released.
::"''As the news is currently consistently late''" - this may have something to do with the 2-3 active users on the site; tc26 and myself, occasionally Kevzo8.
::"''so I got two or three other users to look them over''" - were these users active BN writers? (Argy counts, but she would NEVER have let either of those through in that state)
::"''I deliberately did not use the quote template because of the autocategorization''" - <code><nowiki>{{quote|content|author|cat=no}}</nowiki></code>; easy as apple pie.--'''[[User:Immewnity|<span style="color:#FE2E9A">''Mew''</span>]] [[User talk:Immewnity|<span style="color:#9A2EFE">a.k.a.</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|Immewnity]]'''<span class="explain" title="formerly Prmatt11">*</span> was here at 18:34, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
