| + | Well, since I'm new to the wiki, I can't say I know long it takes to get an answer when the page itself is pretty old and stagnant (Valve hasn't touched L'Étranger in forever, so there's really no need for anyone to watch that page), but I reckon my post wasn't that old yet, and odds are someone would've answered eventually. As for assuming they've been done... I'm not sure why you would assume that, the list clearly said two of the tests were "Not done". I'm not going to lie, the original poster not being active anymore is something I was kind of expecting. However, I didn't specifically want HIM to answer. Anyone could have; this is a wiki! In the same regards, his list was left undone; anybody could finish it - just like anything on any wiki, it's a group project, after all. That's why I figured I might as well add to it (don't get me wrong, had I owned L'Étranger and known he was inactive, I would've tested it myself and edited that list to include the information, and even do the remaining tests - though you probably wonder why I even asked that if I don't own L'Étranger; well, to keep it simple, I just can't stand a wiki that's missing information, even seemingly unimportant information! That and curiosity; I have an unusually strong interest for random, nearly-useless trivia - knowing whether L'Étranger works on disguised spies would fall into that.) | ||
| − | + | You're probably not one to change the wiki's policies either (I don't know how much power you have... nor if you're even an admin), but one should ponder, isn't the point of a wiki to be constantly growing and perfecting itself due to the sheer amount of people working on it? I don't think it's ever too late to answer something. New people will always be joining, and what may seem old to you may be completely new and interesting to newer members. | |

I don't think my post was old enough to safely assume that nobody would have answered, and I don't think it's reasonable to assume those tests have been done.

Issues regarding old discussion topics
I understand your point on older discussions generally being disregarded by most people, and I don't do this for fun... but wouldn't it be acceptable if the discussion at hand was important (read: archive worthy) in the first place and is likely to be read by anyone despite being old? I considered doing as you said before this whole thing even happened; starting a new topic and linking it to the old.

- You're absolutely right about that discussion still being relevant and I can completely understand why you thought it would be better to continue the old one, but the fact is that it was almost 2 years old, and as the subject involved testing fairly crucial aspects of the weapon, it's reasonable to assume that they've been done. The original poster hasn't even been online for over a year.
- The bottom line is that people don't tend to go back and read old discussions. Theis one sadly is unquestionable proof of that; only 2 people replied, neither of whom actually asnwered your question, which indicates that none of the editors involved with weapon testing and weapon demonstrations even saw it. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 15:36, 9 July 2012 (PDT)
