 == Question ... ? ==
-Did you talk to anybody before you started cutting guest star articles to the bare bones? I'm just trying to understand what you're up to. If the idea is to keep the focus of the articles on the show, that's fine, and that's an ideal I've been guilty of straying from myself. I freely admit to having a tendency toward long-windedness at the keyboard. :-) All the same, a couple of extra facts about the guest are fine ... just enough to answer the question of "Why was it such a big deal that the person appeared on the show?" Anyway, good to have you here; I'm just curious about where you're coming from in making the changes. As for where I'm coming from, please have a look at the [[Wikisimpsons:Project Guest Stars|Project Guest Stars]] and [[Wikisimpsons:Project Self Voicers|Project Self Voicers]] pages. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 20:48, 10 December 2011 (EST)

 :You have a huge point and I guess I kind of agree, but only kind of. You see it isn't related to ''[[The Simpsons]]'' if you're telling what else they have been in. Do you see where I am going with this? --[[User:Frederick|<font color="purple">Freddie</font>]] (<small>[[User talk:Frederick|<font color="green">Talk</font>]]</small>) 17:54, 10 December 2011 (EST)
 ::Perfectly. But that doesn't mean you have to strike out EVERYTHING that's non-''Simpsons''-related. Another thing to consider is that while there is certainly some fat to be trimmed, a fair amount of work goes into putting those facts together. Unilaterally deleting a bunch of material with no explanation gives the impression of a lack of respect for whoever did the work in the first place. However, now that I know what you're doing and what you're trying to accomplish, it's cool. The only criticism I'll offer is that you could be a little less heavy-handed with the red pen. For example, in the [[Johnny Carson]] article, I added back in the fact that he's best known for having hosted ''The Tonight Show''. If someone who doesn't know anything at all about him is wondering "Who the hell is Johnny Carson?" then that little fact, plus appropriate links, gets the crucial information across while maintaining a ''Simpsons'' focus. I guess I'm just saying "keep a balance". For an example, I'll do a trim job on the article for [[Buzz Aldrin]], which I wrote, BTW. That should demonstrate what I'm talking about. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 01:15, 11 December 2011 (EST)

 ::::Excellent! Thanks for being willing to dialogue about this. Just as a heads-up to you, I am also going to add back in one fact about [[Theodore Roosevelt]]. The other trimming you did there was just fine, though. Happy editing and talk to you later, and if you have any questions at all, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. Peace out (and go 'Nucks!). -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 02:22, 11 December 2011 (EST)

 ::::::Don't worry about trying to track them all down systematically; it's fine to just make the changes as you happen to notice them. In the meantime, now that we know what "happy medium" we're aiming for, I'll re-visit some of the other guest star articles I wrote and do some trimming. Have fun and talk to you later! -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 09:22, 12 December 2011 (EST)
