[edit] Lucas Bashing

Thanks for coming down and helping with the Lucas Bashing article. Can you help find a source that distinguishes Lucas Bashing from normal fan criticism? I tried a google search and couldn't come up with anything useful- and we need to maintain Wikipedia:verifiability, and enfore Wikipedia:no original research

Incidentally, I think if we do find a source, a fork rather than a move is best, one article for normal criticism and the other for "Lucas Bashing".

Glad to have you here on WP! Borisblue 13:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

I've left a comment on the talk page about criticism vs. bashing. I agree with your points. I'll get there, it just requires some extended research. Mattisgoo 22:50, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Mattisgoo, I don't think a sourced suitable definition exists. I'm going to transfer the verfiable stuff into fan criticism of George Lucas (maybe add a section on Lucas bashing there) and AfD the Lucas Bashing article. I won't do it untill you respond though. Think it's a good idea? Borisblue 15:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I have now sourced a few different definitions ranging from broad to specific and authoritative to completely casual. Accordingly I have changed the article to match the sourced definitions. I think that the definition is now appropriately supported as a label for different parties within fan groups. I am trying to defend the article (I would like it to remain separate from "fan criticism" -- so am totally biased on that point. To support the defence though, I have moved most of the fan criticism out of bashing into the fan criticism article. Thoughts from your perspective are welcome.Mattisgoo 02:23, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Excellent work! Definitely worth an article now. Borisblue 02:44, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your changes to Indian English...

...are greatly appreciated. Cleaning up that article has been on my to-do list, but I haven't found the time. Thank you. - Cribananda 23:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
