[edit] Complaint

Can you please block IP 216.11.0.254?

We've recently had problems with the Myeongseong article and now, as things have calmed down and the original annoyance was blocked, we've had 216.11.0.254 instigating arguments with me and other members.

It's kind of frusterating, especially when we're all trying to write this article and finish it.

[edit] Question regarding content

I have a question regarding content on a wikipedia page, but don't know if it would require full advocacy. I will hope to explain this as fully as possible. On the game page CHROMEHOUNDS, I have a section added explaining to readers that plyers have complained about numerous freezes and glitches when playing this game. I had also included a number of lins to various sites on the internet discusssing this issues. Here is my section in full:

"==Freezes and system issues== - On numerous Chromehound webforums, including the offical forums for xbox.com and chromehounds, players have complained about freezes and lock-ups of their Xbox 360s while playing Chromehounds[1]. Players have brought these concerns to Sega, From Software, and Microsoft and neither parties have been able to reproduce the problem. Hundreds of players have added their name to an ongoing list on the official Chromehounds forum, listing that Chromehounds has locked up or completely disabled their Xbox 360 system.[2] Some players have reported sending their systems to Microsoft, under warrenty or having to pay $130, for repairs and having their returned systems fail after resuming Chromehounds play. Some players have attempted to solve the problem themselves, by attempting to isolate the problem on their own.[3] . It must be stated that there is no absolute proof that Chromehounds is affecting the Xbox 360 systems, other than the reports from players. "

I feel that an issues like this needs to be brought to the attention of readers who might use this wikipedia for an educated opinion in purchasing this game. The user Soban continues to remove the section, and discussion with him have come to neither party happy. Rather than just play a add/remove game, I would like your opinion if a section like this should remain. I feel as a free content site, and as it is not in violations of any wiki rules, the section should remain. I have further links added in the discussion section of the chromehounds page. Thank you for your time in this matter, I am not sure if I went the right route in seeking your opinion. Logan074 16:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Minor" edits

I noticed you mark your edits as minor edits - I'd like to point you at the link next to the 'minor edit' tickbox - the flag of a minor edit is for things like typo correction and fixing tables and links, rather than what your interpretation seems to be - a small contribution to the article. A small contribution to the article still remains a full edit - "...a change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it involves one word." Hope that clarifies! --Firien § 15:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
