Unhinged
Nice work on Unhinged. It's the first Magic set article on wikipedia, and because you did such a fine job on it, it appears poised to survive Wikipedia:Votes for deletion in spite of mild prejudice against such topics as "fancruft." Thanks. Cool Hand Luke 11:47, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Now, that you did Unglued too you may be interested to look here, where we're trying to make articles for every expansion set. Grue 07:02, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Fallout Community
Your recent edits are clear POV pushing, like claiming that turn-based combat and isometric view are obsolete, while there are still many turn-based and isometric games around and in production. I also don't see how Roshambo's posts about Bethesda make him deserve a mention in Wikipedia - not to mention calling him "infamous" is yet another example of POV pushing. I also don't recall anyone seriously trying to force Bethesda into using 2D. As for me being an owner of Duck and Cover, you are simply wrong. I'd also like to see some proof of the alleged isolation of Fallout community, and it being to blame for the stuff you claim it is. Ausir 20:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
The trick is actually not to confirm what you're arguing against
I never said turn based combat and isometric views are obsolete - I stated that these concepts have fallen into disuse among successful games. Looking back on it, I should have been clearer with that line, for those reasons you state: they do exist, but they have not been quite as well received by users.
But to deny that these concepts have fallen from grace so deeply to the point of removing it entirely is simply uncalled for. Edit it to admit that these concepts have faltered in the face of differing ideas, fine, but removing it entirely?
Calling Rosh infamous is hardly POV. He's a salient example of the topic you attempted to remove.
Forgive me if I called you the owner of Duck N Cover - I took the mention of Duck N Cover on your user page as one of "your websites" leaded me to believe you were the owner. I apologize if pointing this out offended you or was misleading, but Wiki readers should be informed when it appears that someone is deleting content specifically to protect their own interests.
If you'd like to see some alleged isolation of the Fallout community, I'd be happy to add that to the content that I've revived. I'll most likely link to examples of person(s) being treated poorly by those who disagree with the Fallout community, and I will likely be posting cashes of when the Fallout community overran Bethesda's forums.
Thanks for the feedback; I'm sure we can come to a mutually acceptable situation. If we don't, thats fine too - nothing on wikipedia can be deleted for long. Scumbag 01:51, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
Re: Editing my post and stuff
No problem on you editing my posts a little. My grammar and formating isn't perfect so I don't mind any changes as long as they don't alter the meaning of my post. Good on fixing some anonymous cowards vandalism.--Lord Yaar 14:38, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
