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?
 * Given the similarity and sometimes out right sharing of sound resources within a given console generation, it'd suggest considering making one long clip per either system or voice actor that includes many/all samples we have. That is, "Mario's Voice, N64" would be the track name with every voice sample from the start of the N64 era to the end, or "Charles Martinet, 1995 - 2000" with same. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Ghost Jam[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 18:46, 19 August 2014 (EDT)

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!
