[edit] Let's make a great Red Alert 3 article!!

As some of the well-known game magazines are going to be featuring Red Alert 3 as their main article along with proofs of screenshots and feature introductions, it seems pretty clear that there will be official announcement of Red Alert 3. Let's make it a great article! Stevefis (talk) 02:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

There isn't enough information to justify an own article yet, per WP:N. However, it will be soon. --MrStalker (talk) 07:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
The press release should be enough. xenocidic (talk) 16:34, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Yup, as I said, soon. --MrStalker (talk) 19:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
I think we hacked it together pretty well. I'm looking forward to working more on this and other C&C articles with you. xenocidic (talk) 19:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Likewise. --MrStalker (talk) 15:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
We've got a start from scratch here, it's just been announced so this is the fastest we could possibly get this article together. I say that by the time of release we should pretty much have it at Good Article or better, and within a few weeks of release we can get it to FA status (before then will be a problem due to the speculative nature of it). Let's be sure we get every scrap of encyclopaedic information on this, as well as ensuring that all the usual standard are adhered to at all times right from the get go. Right first time, every time. Peace through power everyone! Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 21:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
We'll do our best. --MrStalker (talk) 15:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Third Faction = Japan?

I heard some reports that the third faction will be Japan. Can anybody please confirm this and then add it to the article? thanks! Stevefis (talk) 17:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:CRYSTAL, not until it's confirmed. For now people will have to draw their own conclusions from the name of the faction. Rising Sun is a fairly common reference to Japan. xenocidic (talk) 18:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, if we were to speculate, I would say that Japan dosn't exist in this timeline, and the name of the third faction actually is "The Empire of the Rising Sun". It may be the same as Japan, like Russia and the Soviet Union, but as I said, it's just speculation. --MrStalker (talk) 19:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Would a comment that "Rising Sun" typically refers to Japan be appropriate or is that still crystal balling? xenocidic (talk) 19:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
That's a comment that has nothing to do in a video game article, but I have put a wikilink to Rising Sun, so readers can take it from there. --MrStalker (talk) 21:51, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Works for me. xenocidic (talk) 21:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

It is confirmed: http://codered3.com/red-alert-3-in-pc-zone/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.236.221 (talk) 19:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] beta = multiplayer ?

call me stupid, but where does it say that in either of those references? p.s. sorry about fixing those [[dolphin]]s and [[tank]]s, i didn't realize it automagically fixed those - i was just looking at the wikitext. xenocidic (talk) 13:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

"By ordering Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath and registering with the Beta Key before September 15th, 2008, you are guaranteed a chance to play the multiplayer Beta before Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 releases." There you go. --MrStalker (talk) 15:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
ahhh now I see it. it was below the fold. cheers mate. edit: actually, It wasn't below the fold. I'm just blind. =) xenocidic (talk) 15:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Hehe. No problem. --MrStalker (talk) 15:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Klepacki

Frank Klepacki - Exclusive Interview --Ilhanli (talk) 11:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I don't have time to do it myself, but if someone wants to add this to the article as a reference to the fan desire for the soundtrack to be done by Klepacki that would be great - I think the desire for his involvement, given his past work on the series, warrants a mention now that we have a good quality reference. Anyone agree?Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 01:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Ok I've gone and added this. Not the most reliable of sources, but there's no denying the fans want Klepacki so until a better one turns up this will do.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 11:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Units?

Should we add in the units that have been leaked so far?--64.79.177.254 (talk) 19:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Not without reliable sources. --MrStalker (talk) 12:35, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

There are units that we know for a fact that are in the game though, ie: the peacekeeper, apoc tank, kirov etc.JackorKnave (talk) 20:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PC Zone April 08 - lots of new info

Any assistance in adding some of the new information contained in this magazine would be great - we have confirmation about several new and returning units, secondary ability details, etc.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 11:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unwarranted Edits

For future reference, could we please not have fanboy edits who are concerned that "Ohh why did you list PlayStation 3 last, I think it's a conspiracy." That doesn't warrant an entry edit, and you know all too well it's sparking a fire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrel (talk • contribs) 15:50, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

eh, yea, that particular editor is on a PS3fanboy rampage. imo it should be based on the order that the press release states, in this case it was PC, X360, PS3. xenocidic (talk) 15:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Xeno and Wrel, please don't make unfounded person attacks. It's common knowledge P is before X in the alphabet, which is why I changed it. Hope that clears this up. Also, there are no limitations on what constitutes and edit, Wrel. Thanks! Fin©™ 16:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I consider your edits unconstrutive and have reverted them. Consensus seem to support my opinion. Please to not revert this again without proving change in consensus or it will be considered vandalism. Thank you. --MrStalker (talk) 18:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)el]] (talk) 20:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] System Requirements?

Where did these new system requirements come from? Any sources? 122.107.221.248 (talk) 04:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I have removed it, No sources is give neither did EA announce say thing regarding sys reqs. --SkyWalker (talk) 05:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gina Carano in red alert 3?

Should we add this info?. So far there is no reliable source is available except this video which say she is going to play in role in "Commander Natasha". --SkyWalker (talk) 08:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Any PS3?

In the just released 14 min walktrough of RA3, the speaker said that the game will ship this holiday on PC and Xbox 360. Does that mean the PS3 version is delayed or non-existent? (Psykocyber (talk) 15:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC))

Anything about the PS3 based on that would be assumption, so right now all that could be gleaned from it is that the PC and 360 versions are set for a holiday release, nothing more. FusionMix 15:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] demo

should thier be a section about the upcomming demo, i think in thier new video they said demo i just remember —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesb91 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

  • A demo wouldn't normally warrant its own section, though there may be justification in mentioning it if there's a source. Possibly not however, this is just meant to be an encyclopedic article about the game.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 12:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I've seen some very nice things up here, but the page is not very up to date as of now. I'd like to help on working on this page, if you guys don't mind. A very good source is http://www.gamereplays.org/redalert3/portals.php?show=page&name=game_info. Regards, sebra30

Sebra30 (talk) 12:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Hi there! Your assistance would be very much appreciated, yes some of the information here is a bit out of date and could do with being updated. Just remember to always include reliable sources whenever you add something and to avoid speculation. Also, summarising your edits in the edit summary box is good practice as well, it lets other editors see very quickly what you have changed - even if it is or appears to be insigificant. Looking forward to seeing your additions to the article! I definitely stick by wanting to get this up to FA ASAP after release, but we're a long way away from that goal! Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 11:15, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • I will start writing some things up then. They might need revision though as my English isn't that good. Did you check out my link? I think it can be used as valid information? Sebra30 (talk) 18:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Copy editing can be done, that isn't a problem, and feel free to post things that you are considering adding on here or on my talk page first if you want to check it beforehand. That website doesn't seem to have a lot that isn't elsewhere, and beware of the speculation section. Nothing from it should be added until it is confirmed.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 20:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Casting

I've filled in the bit on the first confirmed character in the game, Natasha Volkova, and added a non-included note that only sourced, non-speculative hirings should be included. I intend to be zero tolerance on this. We do have two reliable sources on this, and all information is taken directly from those and I do feel it is relatively encyclopedic all things considered, but nevertheless I suspect what I have just written will require a copy edit, so please feel free to modify as required.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 14:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
