Forum:What is considered "NOTABLE LOOT"

Can it please be clarified what is considered NOTABLE LOOT for the purposes of inclusion on the locations pages etc?

The reason I ask is that I added a loot stash of 3 containers each containing loot (on the old WIKIA). I did not list the contents as it did appear that it was random generated so would likely be different for anyone else's particualr visit.

However some bully-boy admin type deleted my edit without explaination!

I was a little peeved to say the least, as it was one of my first sojourns into making a contribution and to have it discarded in such an off-hand and inconsiderate manner was to say the least insulting and belittling.

So I added it again and stated that I put it back as there had been no explaination for it's removal. It was removed again a few minutes later and claimed that it was "random loot" and therefore not NOTABLE. I had thought that 3 containers grouped together with a fair quantity of stuff in them (despite it being random) added up to something worthy of note?

OK thought I! and went on my merry way, only to find far more trivial/random loot listed loot under the NOTABLE LOOT section on numerous other pages I visited; and some of them even listed the exact items of specific random loot that one user (the original contributor I guess) got on their specific visit - obviously the chances of anyone getting the same in any other game are miniscule!

To help me avoid getting the same treatment on this WIKI (hopefully the ignoramus for the other site hasn't come across here) perhaps some general guidelines on the definition of "NOTABLE" as far as loot is concerned would be of benefit!!??

I would like a little more standardization, but towards more lenient about including containers with random items. My first time through New Vegas I relied on the Notable section to clue me in if I missed any significant stashes. I tried to add the locations of five containers to the Dry Wells page and had them deleted. They may contain "random" loot, but it is up to 5,000 caps of random loot so I thought it was fairly notable. My edit was not completely futile because one container that was listed as holding an item, but was actually random, got removed from the section. GRPeng 22:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

If you saw the same thing on other pages then you should have removed it yourself. And just because the site has moved doesn't mean the rules have changed, Coddam. Insult other editors again and I will be taking this up with an admin. Great Mara 23:16, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * This should really be discussed here Forum:Notable Loot instead of two separate threads about the same subject. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 23:37, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * My bad - didn't find the other thread in my initial look through. Can you 'lock' this one and re-direct to the other??? Coddam 08:10, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * In response to Great Mara - I did not remove the other entries as I was not (and am still not) clear as to what constitutes 'Notable Loot' exactly. I do not just arbitrarily remove another person's contributions based on a difference of opinion over what that definition might be. The fact that someone has sought fit to take the time/effort to include it in the wiki means that it was probably 'Notable' to them in the first place? They might be wrong about how notable it is, but so might I.


 * Your other point is grudgingly acknowledged and I will, in future, attempt to refrain from venting my frustration and chagrin, in the forums, at being treated so shoddily. Coddam 08:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
