klon122 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'm staying out of this for the most part. The community's efforts to create the article would become far too biased. I'm a relative Wiki-newbie, but non-neutrality there is a no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yea, well, it's just the wikipedia mafia saying what is and isn't notable, apparently articles on hundreds of half-life mods are, but this isn't, just plain old nerd snobbery. All you need to do is find another reference to it in a random Taiwanese baseball magazine or a games magazine, because apparently that's an authortative reference for wikipedia.

Kccitystar Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 You know what it is? it's the fact that when the entry was edited throughout the course of the entire day, there were usernames and all sorts of unnecessary info added that didn't really make the site so unique but more like something we all wanted a piece of. Wikipedia is a site for information on stuff, and the first draft of the entire entry IMO was the best, because it was informative, unbiased and it came from a point of view that wasn't mine. Then again, there are entries for many HL2 mods and the like, but this one and maddenmania are suggested to be deleted. Screw them, I want 24 hours of my life back since I wasted time helping out editing the page. Wikipedia visitors, in the event that you are reading this and I know you are given the fact that I initially made the page myself, yes, I Kccitystar proclaim that you screw yourselves. -KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yea, but if that's the case the article should've been marked for cleanup, not deletion. It doesn't really matter I suppose, aside from it's catalogue of pop culture articles, wikipedia is a waste of time. Like most things on the internet or in life it seemed like a good idea in theory then once humans started using it, it started going downhill.

All you need to do is find another reference to it in a random Taiwanese baseball magazine or a games magazine, because apparently that's an authortative reference for wikipedia. Not necessarily "authoritative," but something that makes the site "notable." I don't think that makes Wikipedia elitist but prevents it from turning to Fanboy Paradise. The ideal of an neutral, informative encyclopedia may not be reached given the size of the site, but that doesn't mean we should go huffing and puffing if things don't go our way. It just makes us in the community look like worse people in the end. I searched for articles for mods to Half-life and Half-Life 2 and there aren't "hundreds" of entries in Wikipedia but a few dozen at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to insta-post after my own stuff, and I apologize to management for this, but: By your logic, the Internet never peaked or even went uphill to begin with. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hory Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 [ I searched for articles for mods to Half-life and Half-Life 2 and there aren't "hundreds" of entries in Wikipedia but a few dozen at best. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Half-Life_mods Sorry About nearly 50 overall. And we're talking about 1 entry covering MVP Baseball mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klon122 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Half-Life_mods Sorry About nearly 50 overall. The quantity isn't quite the "hundreds" you originally claimed though, but my new count is around 40 as some of the mods are either became standalone games or were never mods to begin with (i.e. DOD:S, CS:S). And we're talking about 1 entry covering MVP Baseball mods. No, the MVPMods website is the article in question, not anything on the separate mods themselves.

Hory Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 And if you add the Counter-Strike entries.... If you want semantics, there are hundreds listed, with around 50 entries. So it would be better for wikipedia to have seperate entries for individual MVP mods, instead of one catch-all entry? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 so create a MVP BASEBALL MODS Category sorta like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:MVP_Baseball_mods then create 50 or so pages based on separate mods? Like has been done with Half-Life But where is the since in that, when all we are asking for is ONE page But hey I'll go the other route if it gets deleted btw: I think we about have a nPOV on the MVPmods article now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
