 NEW RULE! We haven't done this in a while. This rule concerns the use of article space, by which I mean, which types of articles should and should not have an encyclopedic style. The following types and sections of articles are hereby designated as fully-open articles, which may include personal anecdotes and do not need to be edited for style:
  • Memories pages
  • Hall of Fame pages (admins: continue to patrol for "importance" and move to memories as needed)
  • Hall of Shame pages (same as above)
  • Class History sections of Course pages
  • Staff pages (please keep them appropriate!)
  • Student Groups pages (again, patrol for importance among newer groups)
However, please note that articles about individual students or halls are still not allowed unless they did something like hack the iPhone or create a Canon dance. Admins are requested to move pages that are too narrow in scope to the Memories pages, or to delete them.

{{ambox | type = speedy | image = Realcty logo 20060831.png | text = ANOTHER NEW RULE! A new sub-article type is being created: the hall article. These articles will be titled Halls/Sitename. For instance, Halls/Lancaster is where hall members who want to write about their mark on CTY can freely edit. For instance, articles about the Bubble Stoners, First Dietz, the Cucumber Cult, and so on: these will go into the subarticles of the main Halls article. Traditionalist student groups or other groups that exist for multiple years can still be kept to separate articles.

Thanks for your cooperation!
