Somebody should improve this article. I can't do it all by myself. 10:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, stop doing it, the article is supposed to be informative in a encyclopedic way, not a damn game faq. Every little change youve made has made this article worst than what it was before (supposing you added the quotes and several unnecesary listings). OPTIMAL information is what we seek here, not quantity of information. How do i know this?, try to get a GA nomination, theyll tell you the same thing.

Improvements.

I put a bit about the cold war underneath the new conquer the world campaigns list. I play the game myself, and found the cold war a gripping campaign. Would you say I did it justice, or do I need more info? ElGenius 17:34, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

It's sufficient, though we should bear in mind that all the T&P Conquer the World scenarios introduced significant and unique changes in some form, with the Cold War being the most complex. --Scottie_theNerd 04:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

O.K- what do you think would happen if we had a seperate part for the C.T.W campaigns, so we could describe each in detail? ElGenius 17:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't think CtW is notable enough to warrant that kind of detail. --Scottie_theNerd 00:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair point. Do you think a picture of the senate building or the new nations would be appropraiate? WE have to add something to make this article bigger! ElGenius 15:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

The best way to start off would be to look at major review sites (IGN, GameSpot, etc.) and gather together what points are most commonly praised or criticised. I definitely agree on fleshing the article out, but remember that Wikipedia is based on verifiable information, and we need to be wary of WP:NOT. We can't chuck in everything we know about the game, but we can convey information that is proven notable by third-party sources. --Scottie_theNerd 15:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

• http://ronxtp.no-ip.org/gs_db.php?mode=downloads

  Triggered by \bno-ip\. on the global blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.
