Wikipedia article

[Rayken]

Looks like the PlaneShift article onWikipedia is scheduled for deletion.  If this bothers anyone, I suggest you do something about it now.  I haven't decided if it bothers me yet...

[acraig]

I am indiffernt to it and would probably support it's deletion there.  If you check the discussion page it has turned a bit nasty in places so is not really worth the effort to fight a battle there.  It just gives the people on wikipedia another headache.  Let's keep the pitched battles in places where they belong.  The last thing I want is retaliation type attacks on wikipedia

again? i'm going to say it bothers me. mostly becuase it feels like the zanzi's of wiki are doing this to other game and other topics. 9

Now that I've had some time to think, it does  bother me, mostly because I remember the main dissenter has having once been a regular on #planeshift.  Now I can't help but feel he has a personal vendetta against the project.  Regardless, Acraig makes a lot of sense, and I will just let this go.

That article actually inspired me to join this game. Wow, people are getting really emotional over trying to delete it. 2 million pages, and a few people are raging over one article that is better than many others in the same catagory? I like Wikipedia, but sometimes it is really bad.

I just want to say LOL, its classed as not notable when there are games like supertux in Wikipedia which no one is debating as notable. Planeshift compared to supertux is far bigger :p

[ThomPhoenix]

Well, the article was saved

[SerqFeht]

There are biographies of obscure scientists on Wikipedia that are a date and a 4 words. Sometimes Wikipedia is bizarre

[bilbous]

Ah but those scientists might be notable enough in their fields for very basic info but not enough to someone to bother writing an article.

Unfortunately I got there too late to contribute to the AfD discussion, but I still posted a few links to help further cement the "notability" requirement as being met. What is really needed is for somebody to re-write it using all the sources that have been found.

And on a side note, www.slashdot.org posted some news about people boycotting Wikipedia's fund drive because of their harsh notability policies and the cruelty of the editors that enforce them. And yes, those are weasel words

[miadon]

I'm glad I'm not the only one then who feels the same way about Wikipedia at the moment.

Well, it is fortunate that the article was saved. Everyone is partial to their own hobbys/likes/etc and everyone thinks something they have is notable. Unfortunately Planeshift is still on the verge of notable/non-notable and it will be brought up again if notability isn't established in the article. Furthermore, meatpuppeting ruled many of the votes from fans here moot.  But thanks for bringing it up here so everyone can begin "improving" the article. Everyone is welcome to edit at Wikipedia but whoever **.**.**.** is, stop reverting and changing the article without reading about wiki policy, guidelines, and manual of style, your edits were reverted for a reason.

Whoa, I thought that guy (Link) was gone... Also, that's why you can never trust Wikipedia. Some obese retard kid in Japan could be screwing with it.

[Under the moon]

Gee golly. An here I was thinking wikipedia was all about looking something up that you wanted to know about.

It's a known fact that SpigotMap on Wikipedia = Link.  Perhaps he just wants to get the article deleted to hide the evidence.
