*Alright, I'll just leave my input here. Personally, I feel some people have been disregarding Wookieepedia's recent efforts not only to expand but to please the outer community by developing and upkeeping several means of media. This alone should put down statements that the Wook or its administration doesn't care about our public image since that's a lie and all active members know (or at least should) of these new measures meant to satisfy readers. I understand the issue about Aayla's image and/or the modifications that it suffered during AFD but I just think is overreacting. Clearly, it's not about one or other person's actions in said joyful day but about the whole "kids shouldn't have to see a naked Aayla or read such terms in a website that tries to be professional" bitchin' (pardon my wording) from some people that take offense out of anything. IMHO, AFD jokes are meant to be just that jokes, and on that day users on the Wook tend to receive some sort of freedom to break a few minor rules here and there in order to cool off the serious and professional work we do here for free the remaining 364 days of the year. The fact that some people would be very shocked about the Breasts and comedy-intending (regardless how immature) wording in the Main Page yet not a word about the whole paid-subscription fiasco that it would be if truthful, that ought to say enough about some people's real issue. And this real issue has been discussed over and over and decided by a considerable majority as acceptable under our standards, so it's about time some specific x people recognized that if a majority constantly opposes them on the matter, then perhaps these "x people" are in the wrong. With all this said, I strongly disagree that admins should present any apology for the actions done here during April Fools Day, though perhaps some statement later pointing out that is how we operate during AFD could probably be of use. If the breast's article ever reaches a FA status are we really forbiding it to appear on the Main Page because some people disagree with its content? We just can't please everyone (specially if they're a minority) and anyone who thinks we should, or otherwise be considered as "unprofessional" and immature in the process then I honestly think they're just acting naive. You'd be surprised by how many people actually oppose most of our rules and policies yet that is no reason for us to abolish them. Ultimately, we're one of the most professional and organized Wikias around and our actions on one special day should not be used to diminish that feat. bai [[User:Winterz|Winterz]] ([[User talk:Winterz|talk]]) 17:38, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

**Yeah. The 'majority.' Of 'qualifying' Wookieepedians, maybe, but the site's audience is far, far broader than that. I don't know how much time you spend in fandom outside of this wiki, but have you not noticed Her Universe? How many more women are speaking up and being active these days, on places like Twitter? (And, yes - how many men agree with us on things like this as well?) Women have always been here, but now that we're even more willing to speak out when we see something that's not appropriate. Wookieepedia is the most popular and visible 'fan site' by far, yet you're choosing to cling to something as silly and petty as a far-too-broad notability policy over common sense and basic human empathy.
