[edit] ...secondly, some notes on Endless Online...

The article Endless Online that you recently improved is listed in Articles for Deletion. You went to the talk page of the AfD entry to make comments; I suggest you instead read some more on the deletion procedures, and then make good, well-thought-out comments on why the article shouldn't be deleted on the deletion page itself.

And the issue on why the article is being considered for deletion is not that the article itself is not being updated; the nominator asserts that the game is not notable. (And as I comment in the AfD, at least the endless-online.com website is not notable according to the Alexa rating and WP:WEB, but we don't actually have notability criteria for online games!) If you could bring up some comments on the actual size of the player base - preferrably, in form that can be sourced - it'd be fun. For example, that's how we saved Legend of the Green Dragon from certain death, note the prominently placed information on size of the player base in that article =) I seem to note that you commented on EO talk page that you're on forums; Try to find any comments on how many real player characters there are. That would be a good assertion of notability in my opinion.

Aside of that, I think your version of the Endless Online article itself is good enough, but it definitely could use a lot of polishing and boring-wording.

And even if the article might be found to be about a "non-notable" game and deleted, don't take it personally. Wikipedia can't list everything, or we'd drown in stuff. But I'm sure it wouldn't be deleted once it turns into a household name. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 20:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Right, seems like you already noted that. =) Good good. I've improved the article's tone a little bit now; I also removed specific gameplay info because that rarely fits in an encyclopedia (it's more of the league of Wikibooks, actually). I won't bother you more about this, if needed I'll just talk about this in the article talk page. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 21:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Sanchez

He may well be a pimp, but you have given no evidence of this. Anyhow, pimps are reduntant. Try rape instead, it's cheaper. Dave 01:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
