I appreciate your trying to make more cleanup templates, but I think you're getting carried away - "tooViolent" is way too specific and unlikely to be practically useful; in the rare occasion we actually end up with an article that's too violent, a deletebecause tag will be fine. I think, rather than trying to anticipate every possible circumstance and create a corresponding template, it's best not to make a template until a circumstance arises where you would actually need the template, and then only make it if it seems like it will be useful on many future occasions. I don't think we need more speedy delete templates for the time being, particularly as there are no administrators here to actually delete the pages :P .

Off Subject

Could you define what "off subject" means and give an example? Thanks. Thelonesoldier 00:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Here, I just made a page that describes what off-subject means. You can get to it here. --Nathaniel 03:02, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
