Instead of getting into a pointless (not to mention time consuming) edit war I would like to discuss why the link
is considered spam. Please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/When_should_I_link_externally and especially the discussion about IMDB. // Liftarn
- There is a considerable difference between IMDB and an open directory with just links to other websites. IMDB supports our articles by stating the actors, directors, producers, etc etc of everyone involved in a film/video game or whatever. The site also has information on plot summary, awards etc etc etc. The site has high-content, which is a prerequisite for Wikipedia:External links. An open directory that has no content of it's own besides links to other websites does not have high-content. I've discussed this with you already. Seeing that you've targeted other articles on Wikipedia with this link, I will request an admin/mediator to look into this matter. K1Bond007 20:02, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
- I can't say that I'm for or against it but it should be pointed out that according to a Google search there exist at least 500 articles on the English Wikipedia that contain links to dmoz.org. Some articles, such as Literature, contain multiple links to the directory. --TheDotGamer | Talk 03:35, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
First I would like to point out that I find that you (K1Bond007) call it spam quite rude. I would also point out Wikipedia:External_links/temp that while not official do say "When deemed appropriate by those contributing to an article on Wikipedia, a link to one web directory listing can be added, with preference to open directories". Personally I find it better to have a single link to a link directory rather than making the article into a link directory (because that's not what Wikipedia is, but ODP is a link directory). // Liftarn
- Well I'm sorry you took it so personal. I wasn't trying to be rude, but whatever. I don't think it really adds anything to the article, but if you truly feel it does, with only 7 links 1 redudant, and 4 others going to Gamespot, then add it. I don't care. K1Bond007 18:18, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The best stealth game i ever played
Splinter Cell is the best game i have ever played . it had me hooked from day one and the stealth mode made the game ever more thirlling. Ubisoft has done a great job in splinter cell. i think that if it had been given more publicity or released by a financial powerhouse like EA it would have sold more copies coz this game rocks. The graphics in the game is stunning and the weapons and tools we get to use are breathtaking. I have to mention it again : the graphics are stunning. the gameplay is one which hooks us into it. we have to use our brain in order to win this game and its not like some mindless killing FPS like counter strike or Max Payne.
all in all : SPLINTER CELL ROCKS!!!
[edit] Georgian Progammers
Is it necesarry to mentio all those Gerogian programmers? They serve no real purpose to the story and are really just generic cannon fodder bad guys. And shouldnt Blaustein and Madison be mentioned?
