@Sen Thank you for taking the time to give us your thoughts. It's much appreciated, especially since I know people get busy.

While I still am not convinced by your argument as I feel those are not strong enough points to refute my belief, we both remain the right to stick to our beliefs, especially in leading our own wikis. My main concern actually is that there are already so many reprints up from years of doing it and new utaite channels now post new content. '''I personally feel there aren't as many needs for reprinting anymore since there are so many already up, but if you feel it's beneficial to continue the reprints then you may incorporate that into your wiki. I do feel that the page should be updated to encourage more positive reprinting if you wish to continue with a reprinting guide, but I am not sure how.''' Other than that, I can't tell you how to run your wiki. Maybe someday I might feel otherwise about a reprinting guide for the wiki I lead, but as of right now I am against linking reprints. Although, I do have a response to some things.

First of all, we were only saying that with Meo's logic (that downloading guides are taboo for a wiki), the page would need to be deleted. We never acknowledged it as a rule, we were just responding to her claim. I'm confused on what other "download" you think Meo meant, so could you explain?

Second, reguarding this statement "Literally only you and Mizo in this thread think it should be removed. Everyone else doesn't have much of a problem with it." I was under the impression that BLUEBIRD (and not just me and Mizo) agreed that the downloading guide would be unneeded under such circumstances as well, as she said "I compleatly agree with you here and also kinda agree with @Tisris that the page should just be deleated, or atleast the tutorial on the bottom of the page at the very least since it is a violation." That makes a 3:2 ratio of those who participated in this thread who expressed positivity in deleting the page under Meo's assertion, thus why I said it seems most people have agreed. I don't know what BLUEBIRD may have said in the admin chat (potentially for or against the deletion), but I would not have said "most people seem to agree" had it only been me and Mizo. That would be out of place.

Third, I meant "unprofessional" in the first place, however she seemed confused by what I meant so I was attempting to find other words to describe it. I mistakenly neglected connotations and was only attempting to find another annotation that somewhat described "lacking qualification and professionalism" but I inevitably failed. I had no intention of causing such trouble over words and communication, I was just trying to help her understand what I meant, although I was in a hurry and didn't stop to deeply think about it. I was just looking for some way to somewhat illustrate the idea and that was the only word I could think of at the time. In hindsight, I should have used a thesaurus and I know those words aren't similar at all, which is rather regretable. I should have put more thought into it.

In summary, while I don't believe reprints are necessary anymore, I recognize many people find it beneficial to the wiki.
