It has been suggested that the content of the page this talk page accompanies should not be a separate article on the wiki.

  • Please discuss below whether the content of the page should have its own article. Remember to consider ways the content could be brought up to the wiki's standards before making this determination.

If it is decided that the content should not have its own article, then the following additional issues need to be addressed:

  • Whether to merge the content with another page or remove it entirely.
  • Whether to redirect the leftover page or delete it outright.
 


Transcript

I transcribed this e-mail from the Brothers Chaps' recent Georgia Tech visit. It was the best I could do given the quality of the video (which you can download and watch from the above page). I trust that someone will be able to clean this up a lot once the next E-mail DVD comes out, but until then, please enjoy this exciting peek into the next DVD exclusive.

Whoa, I have a problem with transcribing and making an entire page for an as-yet-unreleased premium feature. — It's dot com 18:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
As I was proofreading this page last night — the same concern occurred to me. Especially since something like this has potential to affect (even if minimally) DVD sales. (the whole "why buy the cow if they're giving away the milk for free" argument) Trey56 18:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I understand your concerns. I also had the same thought but finally dismissed it for the following reasons: 1) The Brothers Chaps knew they were being filmed and that the film would be posted online, so if they were worried about information about the e-mail getting out, they would have said something or otherwise not shown the e-mail to the audience. 2) A transcript is no substitute for the cartoon itself. 3) If transcripts of DVD features could impact sales before the DVD is released, they could also impact sales after the DVD is released, since in either case, someone could read the transcript instead of purchasing the DVD. The Wiki has transcripts for the premium content on the other DVDs, yet there's no concern over how those transcripts might affect sales of those DVDs.
That said, I'll leave the decision up to the Wiki Administrators. If they feel that this page should not exist until the Chaps release the next Strong Bad DVD, they can take whatever action they feel is appropriate. No hard feelings on my part.
