Battle City on Wikipedia #44

Closed Deceth closed 11 years ago

Deceth commented 14 years ago

Battle City was once again deleted from Wikipedia. Need to create a good article with references and screenshots at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_City_%28online_game%29

Then need to add link back to the list of open source video games: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_open-source_video_games&oldid=372533726

I did a basic article as per above. Not sure how long it will last this time!

The best way to keep an article alive on Wikipedia is to find lots of sources. So, please try and find outside websites that mention Battle City!

Rushing commented 14 years ago

It appears the reason for delete is because there isn't enough coverage. Kind of ironic that we hope to attain such coverage through the use of Wikipedia!

Deceth commented 14 years ago

Wikpedia is an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia must deny our existence if there is no proof!

I created a basic article, but did not have time to go back and add references and links to back-it up. No proof, so article deleted.

Better luck next time. ;)

I don't know why, but I feel that I owe Battlecity big time, I spent a vast amount of time on it, and that time was probably some of the most fun I've ever had. As such, I must repay this glorious game. I'll find some time to make this Wikipedia article myself, if you wouldn't be too bothered by me doing it.

Deceth commented 13 years ago

I would not be bothered at all. That is the beauty of Wikipedia - collaboration.

Wrote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_City_(open_source_game) real quick. Please edit as needed. We'll see how long it remains.

Deceth commented 11 years ago

Hey riley, that's really awesome thanks! I hope it sticks this time, you've got a lot of sources highlighted so that should help!

rileyw commented 11 years ago

Looks like our article has survived a week. Issue closed?

Deceth commented 11 years ago

I'll close it since it's fixed for now! The article looks good so hopefully someone doesn't decide to throw it into "consideration for deletion" again. The issue always seems to come down to attribution, so hopefully Wikipedia admins stay happy with the current list of supporting links.
