[edit] Update: January 15, 2007, 16:00 EST

I am not sure when Beta mode ended. I think it was either September or October. If anyone remembers for sure, please update the article to reflect that.

Sections that need to be added:

• On war and warring
• On alliances
• On paid accounts
• Perhaps a section about the hierarchy of the administration?

[edit] Resources

I don't really think each resource needs its own subsection.

Uh, yeah... I'd probably agree, that seems to be going a bit overboard. Not that I want to be a huge critic of any Wikipedia article in which I am mentioned by name, but it's... resources. Their descriptions are very simple, and resources of some sort are included in every RTS style game - Starcraft doesn't have a subsection on Minerals and Vespine Gas.

[edit] Article Size & Content

As previously stated, I love that Reign has a Wikipedia article, but I think that (as also previously implied) this article has gotten a bit large in the wrong direction. If you look at other games and their Wikipedia articles, it's about the history, development, and reception of the game for the most part. Gameplay gets it's section, but it's not this big - this is almost written as a more effective alternative to the Reign Guide right now. If we want something like that, I'd be happy to set up a Reign Wiki on reign.fizor.net, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a strategy guide... David DiBattiste 00:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm just pointing out that this page still reads, at least somewhat, as a guide to the game and not so much an encyclopedia article. I set up the Reign-specific Wiki mentioned above as the ReignWiki, linked to from the article. I don't want to edit it myself as me editing this probably violates several Wikipedia policies due to my developer position. David DiBattiste 07:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

You are more than welcome to edit the article as long as you adhere to WP:NPOV. I say go for it. My suggestion is to remove sections 2 through 5, and write a new section about land and gameplay and the goal of the game. --Cmsjustin 13:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

A more recent one is needed. The one we have there now is rather outdated. Chrissy 04:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Reignlogo.png

Image:Reignlogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
