[edit] Citations
I added citation for the release date (which was actually a day later than written) and up all other uncited information as best I could. If there's anything else you guys arn't sure about, stick a {{fact}} on it and I'll try my best to clear it up. --Khuskan 18:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Old stuff
It must be noted that the 2.0 format is jlf's format.
Guys, I'm really trying to keep this article as non-bias as possible. I know that there are two sides of looking at the whole NF/SF fight, and that it is hard to find any middle ground. But please don't just say "jlf was a jerk, nick is right, here's why" or vice versa. Anything that there is disagreement about should be labeled as "controversial", because it is, and this allows you to then describe both side's view of the matter.

Same as, i went to a lan party with him and a few of our close friends, stayed at his house as well, more mature than you might think. DreamEater
[edit] Deletion?
Why are we up for deletion? You seem to be going around putting all HL2 mods on your list, is there something wrong with a mod article?
- I like this mod , but i hate it's community, especially since they've put the global ban list that PERMANENTLY rejects your steam id and prevents you from being accepted into the most played server. I'm on that list , and if this article is being removed from wikipedia, i couldn't care less anymore since i hate what it's community does to their players. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.157.186.67 (talk • contribs) .

- --The vote for deletion has already taken place (several months ago, I posted the above comment in January), with the majority choosing to keep the article. I'm afraid I don't know anything about any global ban list, is there some way to request removal, on the forums perhaps? Either way, choosing to delete an article because of a disagreement over their punishment methods doesn't seem like a fair idea. Finnegar 21:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, if you look at the record of this deletion suggestion, it was marked no consensus. I however completely agree that this "thread", for lack of a better word, is silly :) -- Sirius81 16:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References and cleanup
I've tagged large sections of the article with "unreferenced" or "fact" tags. Don't see it as an attack, this page just needs to be way more encyclopedic. The both history sections reek of WP:OR, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt by tagging instead of deleting. I've also removed a part that gives advice to new players to read up on something (can't remember what exactly) and points to the SourceForts forums. Please remember WP:NOT, among other things, it is not a game guide and not a newssite. -- Sirius81 17:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've done some minor changes so far, I'm going to try to be bold and clean this page up a whole lot more. The history section, regardless of it being unreferenced, is way overdone, it is longer than, for example, Counter-Strike's history. Some information regarding milestone releases might be interesting, but that is about it, perhaps some info regarding the whole NeoForts issue if I can find a source for that. -- Sirius81 14:42, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- I deleted a lost of the unnecessary bits in the history section. This should clear that issue up. I understand the need for citations, but a lot of the information regarding the NeoFort's issue is first-hand and not much exists on it besides a few IRC chat logs. --Stieffers 18:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- I deleted almost the entire version history and summarized it in an infobox in the history section on top. I did it while you made your edits and this was my first edit conflict, I think I merged our changed, but please verify ;) -- Sirius81 18:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- Completely rewritten history section, with references this time, it is only a few lines now, but that is all that could be verified (so far). -- Sirius81 22:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree with your History changes. The NeoForts conflict was a very large scale event, and I've often used this page as a reference for people who have not heard about it, or do not fully understand it. --Stieffers 00:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, do you have a link discussing the whole NeoForts issue? I've spend some time looking for sources; interviews and reviews and such, there aren't much. The ones I did find I used as references and should be in the references section. What I am worried about, and made me start this whole topic, was that the history section seemed to be Original Research, someone who wrote an analysis from what he personally remembered, and, as that link explains, it does not belong here. -- Sirius81 03:07, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Also, I want to note that I'm trying to make a proper article of this, I'm not mindlessly tearing it down ;) In fact, I want to show all those request for deletion guys wrong about having articles about mods :) -- Sirius81 16:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gameplay section
I've expanded the gameplay section somewhat, I found it odd there was barely a description of gameplay at all, which is the most important thing for a mod, especially this one that used essentially all HL2DM art. The prose is still quite ugly and it contains a list of classes, I'll try to improve that some more. English is not my native language though, so bear with me :) -- Sirius81 | Talk 17:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major rewrite
I've rewritten large parts of the article, linked lots of things etc. ANY OTHER MAJOR CHANGES OR REVERTS OF MY MATERIAL SHOULD BE DISCUSSED HERE FIRST. Please do not randomly dissect the article without prior discussion - I am hoping to raise this to featured status. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 21:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
