I don't know, I think there's a difference between "dwarven humour" and "distracting and irrelevant information".  I know this "isn't Wikipedia" and that humour is fine, but I prefer *well written* humour, and honestly I'm so sick of hearing people bitch about the elves that it's no longer even remotely funny.  Really it's not (for me) so much the humour of it, but its placement.  I could see it on the "wood" page, or on the "elves" page (though I'd rather not), but it doesn't have anything to do with silver.  [[User:Thestripedone|Thestripedone]] 14:40, 7 January 2009 (EST)

:As far as I'm concerned, the section is mildly amusing, also provides some information and links to other articles (as tenuous as their relation may be in some cases), and any random visitor might just happen to look up silver, go "ooh, these are good for sparring, are there any other options?" and hey, there are links to wooden weapons and where to get them from.

No More Elf References?

I'm not going to start a revert war, but personally I thought the recently-removed parts of the article comparing the merits of wooden and silver weapons to be amusing and entirely in keeping with the style of this wiki. Impromptu vote, anyone? I vote keep, myself.--Quil 17:54, 6 January 2009 (EST)

I agree. Also, it helped further the distinction between wooden and silver weapons, so that a person can easily understand that, for instance, they won't find a wooden hammer.--Pyrite 22:35, 6 January 2009 (EST)
Keep, and if I actually gave a crap, I'd have reverted it myself. --GreyMaria 00:01, 7 January 2009 (EST)
Keep, because it was funny, and this wiki doesn't mind funny. I mean, we have D for Dwarf for a reason, yes? --Sinergistic 01:20, 7 January 2009 (EST)
Keep, I like flavorful D is for Dwarf entries. --Squirrelloid 09:33, 7 January 2009 (EST)

It's about a use for silver (sparring weapons) and comparing silver with a material that is also affective for that use. --Pyrite 15:47, 7 January 2009 (EST)
