Talk:Massively multiplayer online role-playing game

message: Isn't it fine to talk about the legal issues that MMORPGs. I know that there are already a video game controversies page, but since we're section this off from general video games, it should be talk about, especially in this small of a realm. Also the question about the new that was added, I had not finished editing it. I just had that place until I came back. I was going to change the title and bring in more facts about how we change MMORPGs into something else.Hutchidd (talk) 19:02, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is proper focus (Undue weight), tone and sourcing. You may want to review the list of reliable secondary sources at WP:VG/RS. "We" don't change MMORPGs into something else. Wikipedia reports what our reliable secondary sourcing is saying, we do not create our own original research. -- ferret (talk) 19:07, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

text: As Izno noted, it's still undue weight to have this section anchored entirely to a sole author's opinions. -- ferret (talk) 15:58, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Not even just a sole author's opinion; it's trying to scrunch any kind of controversy into the article when that's not the point of the article. We have others (as noted in the edit itself) that can and should capture concerns about video games. Video game captures it at a WP:SUMMARY level and Video game addiction/Video game controversies capture it at a more-detailed level; it shouldn't be injected into a genre article or even specific video games. As you have been reverted multiple times, you should stop making the attempted change until there is consensus. --Izno (talk) 16:20, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: I reverted your edits for now. While we haven't discussed geekreply.com at WT:VGRS, I doubt it would ever be considered a reliable source. The authors don't appear to have any degrees or credentials or experience in games journalism (in fact, they're looking for more writers and state "you don’t even need to have prior experience"), there are no published editorial standards, the site is filled with advertisement and SEO "articles", and they don't appear to be cited by other reliable sources which points to a lack of a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Now the Game Revolution article, while a reliable source, is simply a roundup of MMOs that they like. It doesn't make the claim that "MMORPGs have been showing up with no shortage of stopping", which is a ridiculous WP:CRYSTALBALL-ish assertion that we shouldn't make on Wikipedia. If you can locate reliable sources that talk about games licenses—like sources listed at WP:VG/RS—we can certainly discuss how to add to the article. I hope this helps! Cheers!

replies: text: That makes sense. It seems hard to find sources that are giving me information that answer or give me the information that I want to add to the page. Hutchidd (talk) 16:41, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

message: The fork looks like the result of some languages lacking a proper translation for the term. Every native translation of it should involve creating an acronym in the target language, since that expresses a fundamental aspect of internet culture plus the media genres which MMORPG'es actually base themselves on.

text: Can anyone find one example where the term is mutually exclusive? Global Agenda for example is an MMORPG as well as MMOFPS, since the game takes a story-driven role-playing approach. Nira gliro (talk) 20:52, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: MMORPG.com is NOT a reliable website. Also, I think you can't call World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2 or Final Fantasy XIV as MMOFPS/MMORTS. Za9941 (talk) 12:31, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
