Talk:Half-Life 2/Archive 5

message: Someone forgot to protect/sprotect this before it hit the main page, so I left this on the administrator's noticeboard and Vandalism in Progress:
The article Half-Life 2, which is the featured article on the main page but is not protected has had 180 edits in the past nine hours. See here (most of them are vandalism) for the 180-edit diff, the history, and my watchlist for the compacted list of editors (most are IP and new made-for-vandalism accounts). I reccomend an immediate full protection, changing to semi-protection after a cleanup, and a massive block party, IPs and users alike. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 15:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The disputed policy that effectively stops semi-protection is at Wikipedia:Main Page featured article protection. Arguments for and against the policy can be found on its talk page. Please, if you want change, join the discussion. –Outriggr § 00:45, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I particularly enjoyed the categorization of this article - dystopian fiction is brilliant! It's a shame that Kelly Bailey didn't get an article, though. Thanks for your hard work, NinaOdell | Talk 15:23, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: There needs to a change to console version of what's going to available cause there releasing it both for the PS3 "&" X360. Also there release in one package HF2 , Counterstrike , Episode 1&2 and Portals.
:I believe it mentions the upcoming console ports in the very beginning of the article. Release of other games on the same media is not relevant to this article
but should be added to the individual articles for those games. -- Rydra Wong 03:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

:Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the article created from a split from the main article when the article was deemed excessively lenghty in the process of peer reviews and improvements to FA status? That meant that the article should have been covered under Wikipedia:Article series. Why wasn't this brought up in full during the AFD? ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 14:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else feel that the supposed boxart should be removed?  Nothing but Gamespot (from what I've seen at least) has it listed, and the RP is a dead givaway that it isn't a final one.  --HQ 01:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Supposed Boxart 

message: Per the AfD for the above article (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Half-Life 2 controversies and criticisms), of which the result was merge to here, I merged the only well sourced sections from that article (about the source code leak and about Valve vs Vivendi) to this article. --Cpt.

message: Um...there is a rather large gap between the heading Plot and the text underneath. This is probably caused by El InfoBox next to it. I have little experience with WikiMarkup (Cheatsheet is still on my Internet Explorers Favorites list), and any attempt by me to fix it would end up turning the article upside-down - not the desired look for a FA. Please help/comment/help me to fix it by informing me how? Thank ye. Goldfritter 12:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
