recently they have started going through a lot of articles, especially geek related, that before had tons of detail over several pages and started condensing them down to one or two page and undoing any attempts to return the content back to full.
One example was the 40k section and they claimed that Games workshop and the black library, publisher of the 40 fiction, are not acceptable sources for additional information :/
It reminds me of the notoriety trend where if and editor decide a person wasn't well known enough that was more than enough justification for deletion.
Just feels like wiki is moving further away from its roots

On first brush, I am fine with this. They tend not to want obviously biased sources.
That being said, the article for the TV show of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is longer than the Protestantism article. If that's not an abundance of geekery, I don't know what is.
I could understand first brush for a lot of things. But if the first brush happens to be the authority on the subject and the only one who can print things about then I think is should be acceptable.
That is a little crazy Buffy is longer
another abundance of geekery killed off was the list on anchient jedi. Then again silly really doesn't describe it as at its high point the list contained 24,801 words!
