Talk:Hattrick/Archive 1

message: But what makes Hattrick so better than other similar games? That's a community. The first touch with this game gives you the feeling you are not alone. Evan if you are not a part of conferences. 
Conferences connect other people together! There are many users whoo help others. Connection beatwen the users is not just virtual. Many of them arrange meetings. Evan if they are as different as choulk and cheese. Ther is alweys one thing that connect them...— Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.77.9.85 (talk) 07:29, 7 February 2005
:Please keep discussion on the topic of improving the article, not how great you believe this game is. Also, please sign your posts. Greeves (talk • contribs • reviews) 22:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Hattrick is a great game!

message: Why is the Battrick link posted here? I can't see the relevance in an article about Hattrick!? 
If you check the WHOIS information for the domain, then there is no link to Extralives.

replies: text: Battrick isn't worthy of its own page yet but is indicative of the growth of HT, Battrick is an almost identical construction of game and shares the same fundamentals.  It merits inclusion as it is the first instance of HT growing beyond football. "Battrick.org.uk is owned and operated by Battrick Ltd in partnership with Hattrick Ltd, owners of hattrick.org, the inspiration behind Battrick." from the Battrick About page, also repeated by interviewer snowy11 on the relevant HT article page http://www.ione.se/content.php?article.279 that was directly linked from HT MLA 07:03, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for explaining! I haven't played Battrick myself, and thus i hadn't payed notice to the joint ownership :-) Don G. 10:56, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Battrick!? 

message: I see some possible vandalism of the links page being reverted and it caused me to look at the number of links and to an extent agree with the peson who deleted them all.  There are far too many links there and I would suspect that lots of them could be removed.  Wikipedia is not a repository of links.  I would like to start a brief discussion about the links and which of them should go.  On other pages that I'm active such as Martial Art and Talk:Blood Bowl there is a continual need to remove the spamming of links and I feel that the same might be true here.

replies: text: I agree, most links are useless if you do not play the game. Althoudh I don't think it is vandalism.. I think the sources should be external links and that's it. Fopper 12:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links 

message: As the text was quite long I decided to split up some information and rearrange some pieces of text. I removed the supporter info in the end as well, as 'supporter' was already covered earlier in the article. People who feel the urge to rearrange the sections in a more logical way are free to do so. --Tsjipmanz 14:47, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Future of this page 

message: The page is 33 kb large at this point, and we haven't added the Outside of Hattrick.org sections.  I'm not extremely worried, but it might be advantageous to take a look at where we are a little too lengthy now.  The only area that seems a little bulky to me is the History section.  However, Ione.se, my main source for the history, has been down and as a result I've been unable to complete the section, let alone cut where needed.  I think the history section is interesting, but I don't see it to be quite as important as, say, the League Pyramid section.  Anyone else have thoughts on this? -DMurphy 19:33, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The History section is interesting, showing the game's development into what it is today, and informative for newer Hattrick players and the casual reader.  I'd prefer to see that staying, to be honest, rather than the pyramid structure, which is probably only of interest to actual players.  Such information is available within the game, and is less likely to be of interest to the casual reader. Bastun 20:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I requested a peer review today (May 23rd, 2006) so that we can get a perspective on where the article stands, and where it needs to be improved, since we have finished adding content for the most part.  Discuss the peer review here. -DMurphy 22:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
