This doesn't directly relate to Renegade and it isn't a "hot topic," so I figured this was the only logical place for this type of topic. Anyway...
Apparently, some people are concerned over the kind of data found in the Wikipedia entries for the various Command & Conquer games...entries such as the vehicle and weaponry listings. Apparently, "Wikipedia is not GameFAQs and these 'game guides' don't belong there." Which I think is bull. Here's my vote and thoughts on the matter.| Quote: |
Keep -- These articles are within their rights to stay, in my opinion. While it may be true that a good deal of the information within the articles are indeed "game specific," the "game specific" information is only there to detail the key differences between each vehicle/unit/etc. between each game. To reiterate, there have been a great deal of changes over the course of time to a lot of these units. For example, as stated, the GDI and Nod APCs eventually differentiated from one-another over the course of time, one becoming amphibious, and one being equipped with a drill for burrowing underground. But I digress.
My point is that this information is here because people showed interest in learning the history of some of these units and equipment. Is that not what encyclopedias are for? Storing information and recalling it when interested? Go read an encyclopedia some time. I'm sure some of the "irrelivant" information you'd find there would turn your head.

This issue does require a little reading, and the inept need not apply, but if you wish to try and contribute, or even if you want to vote "yes" for deletion, your best bet it so head here and say your piece, much like I have.
