Shoyru Info Link

http://www.neopets.com/~na_na_987 Placing this here, as it doesn't belong on main article.--Jacob 13:54, 24 May 2006 (CDT)

Alright, i think it's time to have some proper discussion if this link should or should not be included. Qwertyu63, being the creator of it, wants it present, but i have and Macbeth have taken it down in the past, only to have it come back. I think it's fair to now have proper discussion on its fate. And Qwertyu63, if it's decided to not be part of the article after this discussion, putting it back will be seen as spam. You have been forewarned. :(
On the petpage itself, it should only be linked to this official article about the Shoyru if it entirely about the Shoyru...which it is. However, the data is very unorganized, and having the random appearance of blue text (which is supposedly a Neopet interupting) just doesn't make it flow. if the page was redone, maybe, but as it is...i don't think it should be on the article. --Jacob 18:31, 25 Jun 2007 (UTC)
I don't think I have ever removed it - Dizzy has, mind.
On the page itself... Well, it is effectively a list of everything official that is Shoyru-related on neopets.com. Yes, it could do with being reorganised and more efficiently catalogued, but I don't think we can dismiss it as an information repository just because the prose is wanting.
On the other hand, petpages have been linked where they are guides to something, such as the puzzles in plots, or Neopets Premium, etc. Or certain games. But the nature of this page is not quite the same... :¬/
It would be good to hear Qwertyu63's view on this, though. I'll drop a message on his talk page - if that doesn't work, perhaps we should Neomail him. --Macbeth 19:05, 25 Jun 2007 (UTC)

Second Paragraph

Need a quick method to travel to the far and distant lands of Neopia? Fancy a winter holiday up in Snow Valley or to visit the home of the faeries in Faerieland? Shoyrus possess naturally evolved powerful wings, which can fly you there before you can say 'holiday'. Shy by nature, this dragonish Neopet is very versatile and is a ferocious fighter, making this seasoned battler a prime candidate for people who visit the battledome to duke it out in a test of strength, skill, speed, defense and agility.

I placed this paragraph here because the first part sounds more like it belongs in a television commercial than an encyclopedia, and the battledome part doesn't have that detached quality that an article should have. --Dizzy 11:04, 16 May 2007 (CDT)
