Revision as of 17:38, 16 November 2006

Please make sure to mark pages you edit with the Category:CZ Live category, so they can be tracked. This is in regards to Kings of Chaos. Also, that article would really benefit from some third-party sources; media reports, game magazine reviews, etc. If you know of any, please do add them. Thanks for joining the project.

Found one on a quick google search: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A24007-2004Dec24.html - I'll add it to the page. JesseWeinstein 01:34, 16 November 2006 (CST)

The reason I didn't mark it was because I didn't think the changes that I made agreed with the "do's and don'ts" on CZ:How to get started with the Citizendium pilot. "Don't make changes to a refreshable (non-live) article unless they're significant changes. Don't make an article "live" by making minor edits. Make minor edits only to articles that are already live. (The reason for this is that we want to help ourselves to the latest major edits that Wikipedia might have made to an article.)" I've only ever heard of that one article by the Washington Post, but I'll keep looking. User:Stephen Repetski 7:16, 16 November 2006 (EST)

That makes sense, but - the point of the advice was that we shouldn't make any minor edits to otherwise unchanged pages, not that we shouldn't mark some of the edits we do make. JesseWeinstein 16:38, 16 November 2006 (CST)

I hate to be getting on your case like this, but Malo (single) is, in it's present form, nothing even close an encyclopedia article. It doesn't address all the five W's - Who did this, What happened Where did it happen, When did it happen and Why do we care; it doesn't contain hardly any actual content at all - no details of how the single was recieved, what makes it better known than thousands or others, etc. If we should have an article on this, it needs to address all these questions. Please do so, or mark the article to be removed. Also, while policy isn't close to settled on this, AFAIK, "fair use" images like album covers are not going to be used at Citizendium.
