Delete (changed vote to Transwiki, see below) as gamecruft. If it is kept, should be moved to List of units in Rise of nations. Halidecyphon 10:46, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep well-organized and informative
gamescruftso-called "gamescruft". [User:Kappa|Kappa]] 11:08, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)- Fyi Kappa, the definition I was using for cruft in "gamescruft" was derived from definitions such as n. Excess; superfluous junk; used esp. of redundant or superseded code.
and n. An unpleasant substance. The dust that gathers under your bed is cruft; the TMRC Dictionary correctly noted that attacking it with a broom only produces more.from the Jargon File. Cruft, by definition does not merit keeping. What definition were you using? Halidecyphon 12:08, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)- Sorry I didn't (and don't) see the connection between your definition and this article. Also I dislike your use of the words "junk" and "unpleasant" in this context. Kappa 12:32, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I would like to apologize for those words, in retrospect my statements above look quite inflammatory. I didn't mean to say the article was poorly written or unpleasant, merely that this is excess, non-notable material. I guess the word gamecruft, invented as far as i can tell soley for wikipedia, does not fall under either of those definitions above, truthfully and is better defined as "excess or non-notable information pertaining to gaming." I stand corrected on that matter.Halidecyphon 17:38, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Game guides usually get transikied to Wikibooks. I doubt Wikisource wants this. —Korath (Talk) 22:54, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
