[edit] Website Down as of 6/10, 10:57pm (CST, -6GMT), 2008
Not sure when it'll be back up :(
[edit] Name change?
The Spring webpage seems to favor TA Spring as the game's name (without the colon); failing that, wouldn't Total Annihilation Spring be a good way to avoid the namespace issue? It just seems like the name is not set in stone, therefore it might be easier to avoid the confusion with a less confusing name. -- nae'blis (talk) 23:46, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- It isn't generally referred to as 'Total Anihilation Spring', so I don't think it is a good idea to have it referred to as that in this artical. Also, I believe that the other FF thing is being developed by Min3mat, if anybody sees him, then ask him and update if necessary.Darkcraft 11:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Now that the game is called just "Spring", I propose to move the article to Spring (computer game). Any objections? --Conti|✉ 17:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think that would be correct, however the main issue is that TA Spring is very unique and returns correct search results, and Spring is extremely vague. If it were moved, then TA Spring would still need to redirect to Spring (computer game). Cmsjustin 13:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
I guess move it to the new section? Says me... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.74.54 (talk) 01:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gameplay section
I've added a Gameplay section. If anyone thinks it's too much like a game guide or has too many wikilinks, let me know. :) - KingRaptor 09:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think this sort of addition is appropriate. The spring engine is no longer a TA remake but rather a full RTS engine. The section might be miss-leading in this respect despite the disclaimer at the beginning of the section and the engine's deep TA roots. It is rather selective to discuss only one of the many mods in development in the spring community such as Expand and Extreme, Kernel Panic, Nanoblobs, and Final Frontier to name a few. This brings me to a greater problem about the article as a whole as it leads to suggest that the engine is still a TA remake. Also, it does seem too much like a game guide :P - mrutter 18:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think something explaining the basic gameplay for the most popular mods would be appropriate. As it is now, the article doesn't really describe what Spring is like the the player.Darkcraft 10:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Springscreen.png
Image:Springscreen.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.
