Hello.

Today I wanted to talk about something that bothers me for a while now. Everyone who has been on this wiki for more than a week probably noticed something weird: There is no article for Speedsters. You know, those Meta Humans who have the power to run super fast. The power that THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THE MOST POPULAR SHOW IN THE ARROWVERSE has. Well, WHERE IS THE ARTICLE??? In the past, people have tried to create a speedster article, but the admins just deleted it. Why? Because the article was too similar to the Speed Force article. That's not a good reason. Articles can be edited, and users could have just edit the article so that it won't look like the speed force article. The admins don't need to delete it. They can edit it, or create one themselves.

You can say: a speedster article is not so important. IT IS. Over the years, the power of speedsters was developed a lot. It's not just running fast anymore. It's not like Vibe or Killer Frost's powers, which is just opening portals or having cold powers. It was developed with the introduction of the Speed Force and how it gives them powers, with the introduction of the Time Wraith who stop Speedsters who mess with time (Speedsters who mess with time) and more. So yeah, the power and origin of the speedsters was developed so much in the last few seasons. So again, WHERE IS THE SPEEDSTER ARTICLE?!

I can understand the admins in the season 1 era. Back then, There was no need for speedster article, because there were only 2 speedsters (the protagonist and the antagonist), and their powers were just about running fast (and some extra stuff like time travel). Back then creating a speedster article would have been as stupid as if today someone will create an article for people who can shape shift (Which will only be like Hannibal Bates, Ralph Dibny and Clifford DeVoe). But a lot as changed since then. Now we have Wally, Jesse, Black Flash, Savitar, Jay Garrick, Accelerated Man Mystery girl…. It's not just 2 speedsters. There are like 12 speedsters (I think), and again, their powers are more than just running fast. So Why don't we have a speedster article?

I could kind of (like a BIG HUGE kind of) understand the admins if the speedsters were just important for The Flash tv show. But it's not the case. The speedsters are not just limited in their appearances for The Flash and a few crossovers. There were already 2 main characters on Legends of Tomorrow who are speedsters (Thawne and Wally). So it's not limited to The Flash at all. And even if it was only on The Flash, It's still not a good reason (That's why the "kind of" at the beginning was big lol).

And I'm not saying it in a way like "you're so lazy. Can't you just create one already?" NO. Today, I've actually tried to create the article. I've took some information from the speed force article, and maybe did some Copy Paste here and there. But overall, I've tried to make it as different as I can from the speed force article. Of course I couldn't actually post this, because the admins put a protection so that no one will be able to create a page called "Speedster" or "Speedsters", for some unexplained reason. I mean, if you try to create this page, there is an explanation from the admins. But it's from 2015, and like I said, a lot has changed since then. Anyway, I saved the source code of the article I created in case the admins will change their minds.

I can't say enough how stupid it is that we can't create a speedster article. There are like 20 separate articles for people whose names appeared on Oliver's list for like half a second in the Arrow pilot. You can't tell me that those people and those articles are more important to the Arrowverse than Speedsters. And also, it's so funny that every time I write "speedster" in the search bar I get the article "speedster weapon" (Speedster weapon) and not the article "speedster". Not really a reason, just wanted to point it out.

I will end this right here, because it's getting to long (probably so long that no one will bother to read this. But it's important for me to say it anyway). So, for the rare chance that you are reading this, I will say this for the admins: Please let us create a speedster article. I really don't see a reason not to.
