Talk:Football Manager

message: I believe as there are many features and extra informatin about Football Manager Handheld series it should have its own article, like the individual PC games, it could have information on each of the individual FMH games, perhaps it could be called "Football Manager Handheld" article and have extra information, thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 07ed01 (talk • contribs) 08:46, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  FMH Article 

message: Think this section should stay. If you know the game you will agree.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.168.109 (talk) 01:08, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Find sources and feel free to re-add it. Especially with comments such as "In most cases the bugs made the game unenjoyable to most users." - you not only need a source to prove the bugs but you need to attribute comments to a number of sources. Please read WP:RS and WP:WEASEL. As well as lines such as "poor quality bug testing" being a bit too harshly written. There's no doubt a section could be added, but it cannot exist under policy without sources. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 02:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism

message: I think this article needs to be split into sections, one for each version of the game, like in the article about Championship Manager. Or maybe have one page called Football Manager series linking to a seperate article for each version of the game (e.g. the Star Fox series page).
Anyone with me?
:Well, as soon as the second comes out...  Grue  15:15, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The second one came out about 15 years ago if you include the original Football Manager series (which is included in this article). FM2005 is actually the 5th version of the game. So how about it? --Ukdan999 16:34, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Structure

message: Removal of linkage to external sites which are basically blogs which are not related to the game, save for an ocassional mention:
* Sudden Death - New opinionated football manager fansite. Being one of them.
For a start, saying a site is 'new' is just bad practice. What if someone comes along in a year and reads this. Is it 'new' then as well? Is it buggery.
:This still keeps happening with users adding 'community resource links' at random places in the page. Removed and the new link has been added to the external resources section. --Dan 13:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Advertising

message: Here's a copy of my talk page:
Regarding your edits the the Football Manager article. It seems that you added a community resource section to it when there was already one at the bottom. Not only that but it was placed in a seemingly random place when external resources are usually placed at the bottom. These have now been removed and the logo resource has been placed at the bottom of the external links section as SortItOutSI already had a link. And finally, where did you get your 'millions of files' from? If you refer to the title of Susie, then that means the number of times files have been downloaded; not the number of files available.
Reply:
I am perfectly aware of the bottom section. Yet I think the patching thing should be pointed out separately. Merely giving some link doesn't give a reader full info that FM can be patched etc. I am sorry for maybe not doing it properly but I still think a separate Patching section should be added.
----
Please discuss. 
:Links shouldn't be put seperately (but perhaps a section on the community itself) instead of adding two sites. My other problem was that you didn't look at the facts properly. Millions of different files???
:Also, placing the section there, upset the fluidity of the article. Feel free to write something unbiased (without links, only referring to the bottom) on the community by all means though!--Dan 13:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've now extended the external resources section, pulled it off the bottom of the page (on which the reference section now sits (needs expanding)) From there, it should be ok to add information on a few of the sites and their basic services.--Dan 13:51, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Patching

message: FYI: I have sent an email to Kevin Toms asking if we can use the pictures of the Football Manager screenshots on his website.
I think it'd be great if we can add some more history to the game instead of a brief paragraph. I think that the game that started it all deserves much more than that!
I've also sent an email to Marc Duffy at SI asking for permission to use the FM 2006 boxart as the picture for the infobox, as most detailed articles on videogames have this instead of a screenie.
Until I get approval, the image lies here waiting to be used. The licencing may need altering as it's set as DVD cover art (there wasn't anything for videogames (except screenshots)).--Dan (Talk) 10:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I took it upon myself to add the boxart for FM2006 (sorry, I didn't see this discussion). I'm pretty sure there was a licensing option for videogame covers, which I selected for this image.--Ukdan999 20:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No worries. The correct licence is there and mine will be deleted in the next few days anyhow! Cheers.--Dan (Talk)|@ 22:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I thought all game screenshots could be used without copyright permission anyway. Part of the fair use agreement/GFDL, something like that. --Ukdan999 13:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I got an email out of the blue this morning from Kevin Toms (creator of the original FM series). It was this advert which features his picture at the side (not sure if his face was put there to boost sales or ward off would-be-thieves! :P). The full size is huge, but it's such a great addition to the article quality that it has to go in. That's made my week! Thanks Kevin, if you're reading--Dan (Talk)|@ 10:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
