Talk:Cyberathlete Professional League

message: I don't see why this article needs to be "cleaned up". I personally think it's neatly set out, but I guess it probably needs more information. RadioActive, can you clarify what you want done to the article to make it better rather than just whacking the cleanup tag without any reasoning?

replies: text: Thanks, Mike. Is suspect that the winner lists will get removed from here as the article expands as they become less useful and yet pronbe to vandalism. Juho Leigh obviously has a serious need for attention. It's sad. --Habap 15:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleaning up? 

message: I think this article could benfit from extra sources. Some independant news articles would go a long to improving the overall quality of the article per WP:N. I'm sure that an organisation that's been going for this long and that has reached such a seemingly large scale should have plenty of media coverage in some form or another?

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Finals wt.gif

message: For someone who has not come across CPL, this page is puzzling - are the games only First person shooter? Is there only one game per CPL? Is there only one prize, how is the championship related to the individual event(s)? How many events are there? Are there multiple disciplines? Betaben (talk) 09:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Not too Clear

message: Just an explanation of my recent edits:
:"founded in June 1997 by gaming entrepreneur Angel Munoz, is a pioneering"
changed to
:"founded in June 1997http://multiplay.lowyat.net/2008/09/15/cpl-to-return-this-month/"
I didn't see any reason to mention the founder (he's not mentioned anywhere else), so I just added a reference to confirm it was founded in 1997. I removed "pioneering" as it is a point of view (and perhaps peacock) word.
:", and hosts a variety of teams and players widely regarded as the best in their respective games."
removed - this sentence was unverifiable - widely regarded by who? How are they known to be the best? Surely better players exist? Those're the edits. Thanks! Fin©™ 16:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The founder should probably be mentioned (no reason not to, and Angel Munoz is a redirect).  The other words and phrases removed are probably not objective or specific enough to be verifiable, although if they are quotes from notable or reputable sources, maybe that could be mentioned in the article. snigbrook (talk) 19:15, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair point, I hadn't considered the redirect, I'll add his name back. Thanks! Fin©™ 21:06, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I just completed an online search and found the following: "The CPL is widely considered as the pioneer league and event for eSports and many believe that without Angel Munoz and the CPL, there would be no eSports."   and "Cyberathlete Professional League, a pioneer in video game tournaments"  and found numerous other mentions.  It seems that stating that CPL was a pioneering organization is widely accepted and relevant to this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.119.49.150 (talk) 23:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't know if those sources are reliable, but fair enough. Thanks! Fin©™ 10:52, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the sources are reliable and there are many other sources online all designating the CPL as "the pioneer."  Also as the search term "Angel Munoz" redirects to this page I think it is a fair to include a link to his web bio or stop the redirect and create a page for the founder.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.119.62.44 (talk) 14:31, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
