User blog:ZakiyahMuse/What's going on here??

Um... wow. So, I haven't been to the wiki in a long while. And I'm very disheartened to see what state it's in.

There is SO MUCH CONJECTURE going on in the articles! I came here just now to get a list of characters in See No Weevil. What happened??

Here's a good example: "David of Bruce" shows up in the list. I'm saying "wait a minute, that was only in the Companion, what's that doing here?" So I click... this entry is a mess! Apparently, in See No Weevil, in the Purple Pig tavern, Rosella noticed someone had carved "David was here" into the bar. I do vaguely remember that, now that you mention it. But deciding this was the character Sir David of Bruce is absurd! There was a knight named David in Kingdom of Sorrow. He's also been lumped into this entry. So has a generic knight in KQ1.

I believe you are missing the point of a wiki. The point is to make a record of the various media related to King's Quest. That is all. Starting to make guesses, such as "there's not many Davids in the world of Daventry, so these must all be the same guy" is not the point to a wiki. That is not from any official source. I was here to see who was in the book See No Weevil. Sir David of Bruce was not in See No Weevil. Nor was he in Kingdom of Sorrow. Nor was he in KQ1. He was very briefly mentioned in The King's Quest Companion. THAT IS ALL.

There is still a disambiguation page  for the name "David". If I wanted to know of all the characters named "David" in the King's Quest franchise, this is where I would go. But I do not want that information right now. I want to know about someone named David in See No Weevil. Apparently he is only mentioned. That's all I wanted to know. I did not want someone's opinion on how he might be Sir David of Bruce.

If I could, I'd revert every page I can find back to before there was this level of conjecture. But I don't have that kind of time or energy. Links would be broken. I think I would be better off looking into how to start a new Wiki...

I'm sorry, carry on, I just needed to get that off my chest. I will simply have to find somewhere else to obtain reliable information about King's Quest.
