message: During my anonymous edits to the external links and adding in information about the mobile version and Bosh I added two popular line rider fansites. Could somebody please explain why this was removed?

thread_title: Fansites

message: I noticed that the game description changed the protagonist from "man" to "penguin." Since the original creator hasn't specifically noted whether the geometrcally simple character is a penguin or not I substituted "penguin" for the more universal description "character." That way the article is correct regardless of what the creator intends the figure to be. Seph Vellius 06:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I would like to add a link to a fansite (the only one I believe) for Line Rider and have already, but it has been taken down. The site is free and does not receive revenue from ads so by putting the link there I do not consider it advertising. I know that fansites in general are looked down upon, but when there is no harm to come from putting the link up I don't see why this is unacceptable.

replies: text: The WP:EL guidelines are against adding that one three ways: links to sites you own, links intended to promote a site, and fanlists. One downside is that the next editor with a fansite will feel justified in adding his or hers as well, as will the next, and so on.  On the other hand, if there are many fansites, the guidelines do allow for listing one, the most popular, but that condition does not appear to be met yet. -- JHunterJ 12:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: When it says "loops and other tricks" I find myself cringing - if anyone has ever really gotten into Line Rider they know that there is a lot more possible than first meets the eye. Notable and widely used tricks are nose/tail manuals (balancing Bosh on the front or back end of the sled with acceleration lines) and gravity wells, which occur from a glitch in drawing a line facing away from Bosh as he reverses to move away from the direction of the line (it does take quite a bit of practice) I'm not sure what should go in or not, but I think something should be said about the amazing things people have been able to do with the game.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.36.84 (talk) 23:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
