Edit war
Which is better?
comment on picture: Looks like Strong Bad's gone the-paperless!
and in the body: Strong Bad then customized Virtual Paper's pop-up noise to match The Paper's old "Preeeeow" noise, though the sound quality is significantly lower.
or
comment on picture: Preeeeow 3.0, with Preeeeow 1.0 downgrade!
and in the body: Strong Bad then customized Virtual Paper's pop-up noise to match The Paper's old "Preeeeow" noise.
Opinions would be appreciated

- I like it how it is now. No one ever calls it 3.0, and the downgrade comment is ambiguous. You can't tell at all it's referring to sound quality. -128.103.10.135 03:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- The downgrade is referring to the custom sound, and the sound quality is no lower than the rest of the old paper's preeeows. The preeeeow 3.0 refers to preeeow 2.0 when SB got the new paper. — Defender1031*Talk 03:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, well, that just shows that it is indeed ambiguous in meaning.-128.103.10.135 03:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Well, i thought the 3.0 caption was funnier. — Defender1031*Talk 03:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- New Paper's sound was called Preeow 2.0, so VP's noise could be called Preeow 3.0. As for "downgrade", it orginally had it's own sound, but Strong Bad changed it to The Paper's Preeow (or Preeow 1.0), therefore, this could be called "Preeow 3.0, with Preeow 1.0 downgrade". I fail to see the ambiguity. That Game Dude 386

- Well, I still like the other caption better. -132.183.140.193 21:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but we already have like, a jillion other captions that are direct quotes from their picture's introducary cartoon. Why change it to one of these when we already have a (mildly) unique one already? That Game Dude 386 21:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- I personally am in support of the downgrade comment. It's funnier and more original than "Looks like Strong Bad's gone the-paperless!" While I'm all for comments that are quotes from the toons, I think we should use a funnier, more original quip if we can. User:Mr Eyeball
- I'm fine with 3.0, though, as many have said, no one in the Homestar Runner universe has ever called it that so far. I guess it's because I haven't heard The Paper in years, but comparing a The Paper era-email (rough copy) to independent, and there is no change in the quality of the Preeeow, as DeFender said. —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 16:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- I still think it's just terribly unfunny, but as the edit summary that changed it back said, majority rules. -128.103.10.135 01:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- It would appear as though the "in the body" section is closed. The current phrasing seems to be winning out. I think from here we just need to work on the caption of the picture. This is why we need STUFF, that way we would know whether or not it was a majority rule. My personal opinion is that toon quotes are used so often that they could be a standard. (idk whether it actually is one or not; and yes, i know i've gone against standards before) even if it isn't, we should wait to see if they ever say "3.0" before making that the picture's caption.

- I say NO WAY to the Preeeow 3.0 thing. We called Envelope Paper Preeeow 3.0, so wouldn't this be Preeeeow 4.0? User:SBE-mail Checker Dan
- Seeing as the Envelope Paper wasn't a permanant paper, and made no sound at all when it came down, it really shouldn't count as "Preeow 3.0". That Game Dude 386 16:38, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

- Surely it's Preeow 1.1 or something... --Belthazar 03:05, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Stub?
I think this is about as much info were gonna get about Virtual Paper, so is it safe to remove the "stub" template, or are we gonna leave it on for now? That Game Dude 386
