Re: ToME off of Wikipedia
Posted: Mon Dec 02, 2013 1:35 pm
to be fair looking at the wikipedia deletion remarks it seems to indicate the tome page was given a warning for a long while that it needed to be improved or deleted, so maybe the shoddy references would've been good enough if they'd just been expanded a bit?
might be nice not only to include a section on tome2 for tales of maj'eyal's wikiepedia page? and maybe even get t.o.m.e. to redirect to the tales page?
all that said deletion is no longer an issue as steam is going to count as a valid legit reference
edit: whoops I forgot I made this post and double posted with a similar post right below it. for completeness sake here is that second post:
I'm 99% sure that once the game is on steam and we can link to steam they'll stop complaining about a lack of references. These admins imo aren't jerks they're just BUSY they don't have time to care about your page or research it or improve it, they just have time to check to make sure it meets bare minimum quality guidelines for proper inclusion into an encyclopedia.
That said this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Crawl_Stone_Soup has mostly primary or awful references so maybe the admins are just upset about the overall writing on the page and how there is some subjective stuff? one of the rejections mentioned that.
We also might just need to resubmit more times? who knows maybe DCSS Was denied a dozen times too?
