Right now, the article is more like an ad than an encyclopedia article.--Almost Anonymous 22:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Dshirk had copied the "Features" section from the firaxis website. I removed it. FiggyBee 06:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I've added the infobox and boxshot for this game. If I've put down any incorrect info, please change it. Born Acorn 23:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

Right now, the review scores in the Critical reception section of the article are the two highest scores given to the game (of those listed on Metacritic). "Railroads! received a generally favourable critical reception; GameSpot awarded it 8.1 out of 10, while Game Informer gave it 8 out of 10." There should be a lower score mentioned, as well.

Might add one myself, if I have the time. Almost Anonymous 12:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

At the time these scores were added, these were the only two scores listed. I didn't add them but I did check at the time. --Yamla 14:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

WTF??? I already answered this one, but it seems to have disappeared without a trace.

Anyway, what I said was something like: "Yes, that's what I figured." I also mentioned I'd like to see what score Edge gave the game, but I didn't know if the new issue was out yet. Almost Anonymous 23:47, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flag icons

Apparently someone with an addiction over flag icons has edited the article. Really, that many flag icons just slows the loading of the page, without adding anything significant to the article. --Mika1h 19:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baron Rothschild

The link for Baron Rothschild heads to a disambiguation page listing all Barons Rothschild. I'd fix it, but I don't know to which Baron the game refers. Could someone more knowledgeable correct this, please? --CPAScott 18:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

It's presumably supposed to be either Anthony de Rothschild (who was a Baronet, not a Baron), or James Mayer de Rothschild (who wasn't British and never lived in Britain). I've piped the link to the former unless anyone knows any better. FiggyBee 23:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
