Talk:Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals/Archive 2

message: I don't think that we should have notes on the scientific accuracy of the renderings of the animals (ex: note on deinonychus's feathers, or lack thereof). It isn't really relevant to an article about the game, especially if the note is pointing out that the rendering is accurate. Pentagram16 16:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Please stop making up excuises for how that blurry item behind the tree is a tail, it could easily be one of the animals who have been confirmed and match that coloration, it could be a building, it could even be the back ground on the zt2 maps (like the buildings), so please stop.

replies: text: Oh you little thick person. If you were knoledgeable enough to CHECK on what we like to call the HISTORY page, you might avoid wasting our time with stupid questions. Please, in future CHECK BEFORE YOU ASK! Anyway, the gallery was removed by someone who thought they had no fair use rationale (don't ask me what that is) so I put them back and explained. ----- Cuddly Panda (talk · contribs) review me! | join the Zoo Tycoon taskforce! 09:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't have to attack other editors over things they may not know. Wikipedia is all about co-operation and being civil. Anyway the gallery has been removed because galleries of non-free content are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines, regardless if the images have fair use rationales or not. Generally video game articles have one screenshot and an image of the cover but there are exceptions but this would not be an exception. Xtreme racer 12:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Should there be a objects list in the article and also what is with the 35 animals rumor flowing around?Daman1234 15:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please try and refrain from asking questions on the game, and concentrate on the article, please. The info for the 35 animals is all on the article. No there should not be an objects list. That's what makes the Marine Mania article so badly written. ----- Cuddly Panda (talk · contribs) review me! | join the Zoo Tycoon taskforce! 23:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Personal threats

message: I'm going to keep this at its current rating of Start-class, though getting this article to B-Class shouldn't be too difficult. Here are some ideas to improve the article:
* Citations are a little on the light side. WP:CITE.
* With the exception of the first "Confirmation" section, this article seems to deal exclusively with the gameplay. It goes into too much detail per WP:NOT#GUIDE. Lists of animals are the main giveaway. If the information isn't useful to someone who's never going to play the game, there's little need to include it. I'd suggest condensing this info down into one "Gameplay" section, possibly with subsections, though given the fact that this is an expansion pack, I doubt you'd need to.
* Lead needs expansion per WP:LS.
* The dates given in the infobox at the top of the article suggest the game has now been released. If this is the case and some critical reviews have been published, consider writing a "Reception" section.
You could probably get a B by tidying up the gameplay section and writing a reception section. Hope this helps, Una LagunaTalk 20:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
