message: I'm thinking of deleting this, as it is a real misfit anywhere in the article...(right now it's in the second paragraph of "history")...if anyone can find a better place for it then move it. Otherwise I'll get rid of it. --Edlin2 03:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Models made by the soda team" sentence

message: * This really needs a NPOV.  I'm throwing up the tag.  e.g. "This version of the program existed quietly on the soda website, as well as being hosted at another site. At this point, the applet was largely unknown, except to the lucky few who had discovered it already."  I'm sorry, that sort of comment has no place in an encylopedia.
* I'm fine with the construction how-to, but the Forum how-to?  Maybe a, "If you plan on posting any forums, read _____" or something along those lines.  Or simply copy over what's been written on Wikipedia and put it on the forums and link there.  If no one brings up some good points why it should stay, I'm gonna pull it.

message: May I add a image of the daintywalker on this article.
It is currently being used for a user box which is being used by Soda Modeler Wikipedians. 
I have gotten a tag saying that the image is orphaned and will be deleted in seven days unless it gets a page.

message: Should the experts be categorized by specialty?  Sodaplayer  talk contributions ^_^ 02:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As for the categorization by specialty, who are we to decide a constructor's specialty for him? Many constructors are multitalented. And how can we decide who are the "best constructors"? Nahh, we should leave it unsorted, or sorted by date if anything. I also notice that list is getting REALLY long, so don't add to it unless you have a really good reason. -Edlin2|Talk 00:12, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the term "pandora" should be added to the jargon section but I unfortuently do not really understand what one is. Can someone please include an explanation of a pandora on this section.  Makuus 17:10, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello to the more regular editors of this article. Unfortunately, there are a number of problems that I've identified, which need to be changed if this article is to be improved.
Firstly, the External Links section is huge. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a links repository. The Wikipedia:External Links page has this to say: "Links should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links, or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links." They need to be pared down to a minimum, perhaps a link to the official site/forums and maybe one or two notable fansites.
Similarly, the list of famous constructors should probably go too, since it isn't sourced and there do not appear to be any criteria for being on that list (which is already very large).
I also had to remove the tips section, because Wikipedia isn't the place to host that sort of thing. There are other wikis which deal with tips and strategies for games, and they could probably be moved there.
Finally there should really be fewer references to the community surrounding the game, as the article itself is about the applet in question. Whilst the community is probably fairly relevant, they should not comprise the bulk of the article.
I'll be checking back to see if I can help out with some of these - I just wanted the reaction of other frequent editors to see if this seems reasonable. --163.1.165.116 16:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As a side note, I see there is now a Sodarace Wiki here. I suggest that much of the fancruft be moved off this page and let the new wiki do the work. --163.1.165.116 12:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
