[edit] Deletion
Club Penguin is cool, why was the article deleted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.101.179.37 (talk • contribs).
- There was alot of bad grammar and spelling, and the editing (believed to be done by young children), only seemed to make the article worse. If we can keep those people from editing again, then article will not be deleted again. 70.129.101.160 00:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Criticism
Can this be verified. I have not found any sites that critize the artwork.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.116.71.77 (talk • contribs). 11:43, 4 September 2006
- I agree. Unless someone can find a verifiable source commmenting on "the poor quality of the graphics," it should be removed. --Satori Son 15:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Grammar And Other Problems
Okay, first if all, the grammar and spelling in this article is horrible. The coins should be in a seperate part. The puffles top needs to be capitalized, and the minigames need to be capitalized as well. And the puffle section needs to be rewrote, its bad in my opinion. And the staff added more servers due to massive popularity lately. EDIT I see that mostly evrything has been deleted. You planning on a full rewrite? --Moozipan 21:33, 8 September 2006
[edit] Game guide info
Please see Wikipedia's policy that states Wikipedia is not a game guide. I removed the material from the article that was a game guide because it is explicitly not suitable for an encyclopedia. Gwernol 07:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Your deletion of material under the "Secret Agents" section was clearly appropriate, but it still says:
-
- "Secret Agent Penguins are moderators who help enforce the rules of Club Penguin.
- They also help new members get started in the game."
- Not only is this statement unsourced, it is misleading and inaccurate (any member can earn a Secret Agent designation by completing certain tasks). I recommend deleting this entire section. Comments? --Satori Son 20:04, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bickering
Guys Calm down personally this guide should be opened for editing as i think that the content of the current page is appaling and that 2 year olds could do better. So just reopen it and get an administrator to help run the page by banning submitors of dodgy edits ROGSMER
- The admin who has being trying to keep an eye on this active article, Gwernol, has graciously changed the article to Semi-Protected status. This means that it can now be edited again, but only by users who have been registered for at least four days. To User:Rogsmer, if you can improve the article, I would now encourage you to be bold and do so. And all of us need to do our part to get the article up to standards. The main issue seems to concern users trying to make this into a game guide. See WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information that specifically prohibits "tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides..." Also, all edits should provide a source citation per Wikipedia:Verifiability. Thanks, Satori Son 18:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gameplay and Production Section...
Gameplay is the easiest section to make. A gameplay section (plus a few screenshots) would greatly hel a casual reader who just happenned to stumble onto the article. A production section would also improve the article, and'll help bring up a level on the article assessment rating. For the gameplay, talk about currency, what players can do, maybe the mini games, events, but makke sure it doesn't sound like a game guide. Abby724 00:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

- As long as it's not a walk-through or tutorial, a gameplay summary section would certainly be appropriate. Here are some articles that reached Featured Article status and have solid gameplay sections: Donkey Kong, Doom, Final Fantasy X-2, Katamari Damacy, and Super Mario 64. --Satori Son 00:37, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- I have taken a stab at starting it, but it is still obviously very rudimentary. Please expand, but follow the guidelines set forth in WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. And all info must have citations to appropriate sources. --Satori Son 01:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Screen Shot
Can some older member place this screen shot somewhere in the article, since i can't do so? Cp2.gif --Stikshift 14:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like you did it fine. I moved it down to the new Gameplay section and updated the copyright licensing tag. --Satori Son 01:54, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please stop ranting about the article in the discussion page.
I think many of you've noticed that this is an encyclopedia. A forum is not an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia is not a forum. If you want to rant, just do it on your userpage, or on a forum, where it belongs. I'm taking the rants off the talkpage, and anymmore will be deleted, Kapeesh? Abby724 00:45, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- In fact, any comment that does not deal specifically with this Wikipedia article will be removed. This includes requests for help with gameplay, random observations, hints and tips, and telling us how much "teh game R0KS!!" --Satori Son 13:14, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anyone know what the lighthouse game will be?
- Umm anyone know what the game at the lighthouse is? I know it has to do with rockets...
I is pie 01:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)19:01
No one said there was going to be a light housee game, and that has to do with a secret agent mission(in the HQ it used to say "Secret Message: Blast Off).
-Moozipan from pinataisland.info
-
- The lighthouse game is on the beacon, and it's called "Jetpack" or something like that... You fly around club penguin, getting as many points as you can and try not to die.

[edit] Help
how do i put in a screen shot i host it on image shack now wich link do i copy and paste —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.86.132.202 (talk • contribs) .
- You can't, you need to upload the image to Wikipedia first. But, you can only do this if you have the right to put the image under the GFDL or it falls within Wikipedia's fair use rules. Please make sure you understand the image copyright issues before uploading. Thanks, Gwernol 17:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tone, people, tone...
Honestly, some parts of this article sound like they were written by kindergardeners with good spelling. Also, stop using the word "you" in the article. Instead, use "player". Abby724 21:38, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- True, but I moved the {{tone}} tag down to the Gameplay section. The intro section is fine. -- Satori Son 01:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
-
- The {{tone}} tag is removed after what I consider to be sufficient editing. Adavidb 14:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] can some one
put this image in the secret agent section http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/396/secretagenthqyr5.png —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ooingo The Penguin (talk • contribs). - 20:59, 5 November 2006
-
- I uploaded the image, so noone else needs to make duplicates, okay? Also added it to article. Abby724 02:24, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
This may not be the right place, but, do we REALLY need to list every area in the game?
P.S. I'd also like to say in October whoever was talking about Abby wasn't me. I mean, really, I doubt he or she knew I was ten years old! -Moozipan (the same ones from above)
[edit] Protection
I think this page should be {{sprotect}}ed. It's vandalized sometimes by new users and I thinl protecting it might help. Bellito, master of all things Mac-related 00:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New section?
Perhaps we should have a moderator/being banned section. It would cover the jobs of the mods, their names, and how you get banned. At the following URL, I have a picture of what happens when you do get banned, which I think is appropiate if we were to add this section. Blocked for profanity
