Deletion of the Crash Prevention Page

Hi.

Unfortunately, I've reverted your removal of the contents from the Crash Prevention page. The reason for this is simple: it is not your page to do with as you please, despite your having written it. Submission of any material to this Wiki releases it to the Oblivion modding community, which is not something you can just take back. As it says in the note above every Summary box on every Edit page, see Project:Copyrights for details (actually, the details in question are in Project:Standards and Policies, which is linked to from the Copyrights page; see #5).

I have not determined that removing the content from the page is not the correct step - it may very well be. Outdated information is harmful and the Wiki is not opposed to linking to any and all helpful sites. We're extremely low on man-power and our ability to update anything is approaching nil. Therefore, I fully consider my reversion an interim situation while we determine what we want to do with the page. But for the time being, it's staying as it was. I will have to review the article as well as the material on your site, and determine what situation I think is best for the Oblivion modding community - and hopefully, I'll find others to do the same so that something resembling a consensus can be gotten, as I am hardly qualified to make any decision "on the behalf of the Oblivion modding community" alone. Should it be impossible to find any kind of consensus on the topic (as in, if you and I are the only people with an interest in it), I will almost certainly re-revert the page back to the version you had put up today.

At any rate, this is a head's up about what's going on. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment here or on my Talk page.
