Okay so... I'm confused. What is this whole "power exam thing?" Did all the admins/mods spontaneously/unanimously decide to implement this? I had a couple of concerns though:

1. Doesn't this go against the "right" of a wiki to start with? Meaning, you can edit and create pages freely, without hindrance. I understand the motivation you had in starting an approval process, but it seems to be an infringement of creative freedom as well as user rights on wikia.

2. How is a fourth seat considered "powerful?" I'm just scratching my head over this one. It would make sense if you needed approval for a Lt. level character or higher, maybe even third seat, but it seems to me that (based on canon) anything below a Lt. is just a pretty average, standard, run of the mill not too powerful fighter.

3. Another concern I had was the seeming lack of response from the approval comittee. I didn't catch if it's approved by a majority ratio or not, but maybe that would work better than an unanimous voting as it would expediate matters. For example, 3 out of 5 admins or something.

4. What's this going to mean for me personally? I usually finish/polish up my own articles before posting them, but I use my own infoboxes, I often tie characters into canon, and I usually only use the character in one specific thing. Should the same criteria have to apply for my own fanon characters, or just rp characters?

I can understand that you're doing all this to improve the quality of the articles on here, (especially after the "overpowered" thread) and I can respect that since I think I see your intentions here. However, I'm sort of greatly upset over it all, as it seems a bit poorly thought out in places and an infringement of the user agreement policy on wikis. "Earning a right by comitee" seems disconcertingly similar to an autocratic dictatorship to me.

Thanks,
