Please read the Hall of Fame criteria, especially "The distinction between HoF and Memories is admittedly a little hazy, but the criterion for deciding where a given entry ends up usually boils down to whether (1) it had lasting effect or (2) it was a large-scale and positive rules protest, change, or breakage; most HoF entries fall into one of these two groups. Many well-known events or stunts that were famous in a given session but not necessarily carried to later years can be found in the Memories pages," before trying to edit the HoF: SAR page again. As mentioned in the last removal, the event did not seem to have lasting significance beyond a small number of people and did not have a major site-wide effect. Should this spread site-wide and have ongoing influence after its creators age out (like Love Tape), it might be moved from Memories to the HoF page in a few years.

This is the third time I've had to revert your edit. Did you even read the HoF criteria, or my previous comment on this Talk page? Besides the area I quoted last time, note also "If you are adding something to a Hall of Fame, please do not do so unless it actually is memorable for years to come or had particular significance for your site. Anyone adding something that is pointless or is an inside joke, or who is just trying to look cool by becoming a legend, will have their entries deleted or, if stupid enough, moved to the Hall of Shame." If you self-edit yourself in again, I'm blocking you for a week. If this continues to be a problem, I'm going to mark that page as protected. Dutchman 18:44, 22 August 2014 (PDT)


Hi Thank you. I'm sorry, but this has an incredible significance to our site. The girls who did this were praised and deserve to be on here, they've accomplished it. Please, if you have concern, talk to Dave the Site Director. Thanks...

Again, this seems like this was something that was limited to a single hall each year in significance. There are many praiseworthy things that occur at CTY, so that alone isn't enough for this page. It seems like it would be a good edit for the Hall:SAR page instead. I talked with another admin and that admin agreed that the entry does not yet qualify for a HoF page. If it becomes known and practiced by a large portion of the site, it will be added in then. The HoF and Memories/Halls pages are to some extent fluid- things have been moved from one to the other if it becomes obvious that the entry has gained or lost notability years after the initial entry was made.

Finally, I don't have any contact with the site director. Since this is largely a former/current student-run website, I doubt anybody here has regular contact with site directors or similar admin. Dutchman 19:22, 25 August 2014 (PDT)
