Talk:Earth Release: Destructive Rising Rock Pillars

Rank
I know that we are not encouraged to speculate on this, but that is because we have the databooks; the databooks passed this one; and thus I am curious as to what other think this would be ranked as. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 04:12, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * It shouldn't. If databook or the manga itself doesn't give it a rank, it's not up to us to decide the rank for the technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:44, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * How is that? Is curiousity forbidden or unnecessary?Thomas Finlayson (talk) 20:30, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * What I mean is that it's not up to us to figure out a technique's range and list it in the article, as if it had been given to us in a databook or some other credible source. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:56, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * The range was not me, though I would say it was derived from the shockwave radius. What I am curious about, because I find earth jutsu interesting, is what rank it might be, might, and if anyone has a suspicion about it.Thomas Finlayson (talk) 20:58, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * The same thing applies to rank though. If the rank isn't given in a credible source, we shouldn't try finding one to list. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:06, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you saying that there is some unwritten law that forbids us from considering such aspects of Naruto? That examinations of other jutsu featured in databooks and manga are not credible sources?-Thomas Finlayson (talk) 23:16, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Speculate all you want, just keep it out of the article. If they don't say "technique X is Y ranked", we don't add it to the article. We're an encyclopedia, there's very little room for speculation. Ranks aren't really important, but as far as accuracy goes, it's credible source or nothing.

Never my intention, I was always planning to keep it to the talk page...so long as overwhelming evidence did not appear, and even then you would be free to remove it. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 23:37, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Feel free then, though I think talks like these are better placed at the forum namespace. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:34, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
