Allow the upload of voice clips
So, I am a bit busy, but I will spend more time in the wiki, as how it was...OK, so, I was thinking about uploading some (NOT A LOT!) of voice clips, I mean, voice clips for people hear and see the difference between voice actors. Example: Upload a Peach voice clip from SM64 and one from SMG.

My idea is have a small number of voice clips: At least 5, at maximum 7. Some rules:


 * Voice clips may be ripped or VERY good recorded, witg.no background SFX.
 * Can't be longer than 2 seconds, with a few exceptions.
 * Pages that has 5+ voice clips per game should have a "List of Voice Vlips from "Game"/ List of characters voice clips".

useful places to get voices: the sounds resource, the kittycorps meowmix forums, MFGG, youtube.com

Support

 * 1) Per proposal
 * 2) Per proposal. It is a good idea.

Oppose

 * 1) Ripping voices, while a very difficult and time consuming task, isn't practical. Creating a whole page that is only used for tiny voice clips is messy and sort of takes up lots of space (computer wise, not screen wise) for pretty small clips of a persons voice. And if you aren't going to do lots, I don't see a point making a small amount of them and then not continuing.
 * 2) I don't see the practicality in this. It seems like we'd be going to too much work for very little content actually added to pages.

@Nineelevndo, I understand your oppose...or the major part it. If ripping is hard, it isn't mybproblem: who want to rip, rip. Who doesn't...doesn't rip. Also, most of them can be downloaded anywhere, you just need to credit the ripper. Also, I said a dmall amount because of PC lags. Got it? ;)
 * If we aren't going to do much of it, then I don't see a point in a major change at all if it isn't going to be actively used. - 18:08, 19 August 2014 (EDT)
 * I understand. Maybe upload a few voice clips from alot of games should be better?

Just so you now, there's already a class of subpages for sound clips: "List of X media" pages (like this). Right now, it's only for games and whatnot, but I suppose if enough sound clips of a character are amassed, a subpage could be used for that. However I doubt that would ever be necessary, and it's not very ideal either. Uploading sound clips of voicework in of itself isn't a bad idea, tho: just be choosy about what's worth including. -
 * OK!
