Talk:M.U.G.E.N/Archive 1

message: The author of this article states that there are MUGEN clones that are not publicised. Does anyone know more information about that.
No clue, but did edit one mistake. Open MUGEN is under the GPL and does have some source code on their site --vincent404
I think it's purely speculation and probably doesn't belong in a wikipedia article. 24.7.231.250 10:53, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Mugen Clones

message: Wow, this site is great... I took a stub from Mugen and created a M.U.G.E.N page (my first time editing), and the next day someone comes through and improves both of them. It's like being in a writing class. --D70306
Even cooler, someone deleted my image without explanation. And left an arbitrary statement without classification as seen above. Its like being on a playground.  user:marvelvsdc
: Probably because the user at ip; 172.211.41.217 thought the image was illegal since the license expired. Well as it stands the image is still illegal because it doesn't have a Image copyright tag. - UnlimitedAccess 03:19, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism of this article 

message: In documentation, the executable title, etc., the final character, N, is not followed by a period.  I'm suggesting to have it be moved back to M.U.G.E.N instead of the current position of M.U.G.E.N. and replacing all instances in the article to match the correct location.

thread_title:  Move back to M.U.G.E.N ? 

message: On July 14, 2006, several popular M.U.G.E.N sites took their databases offline due to an increase in what the community calls, "warehousing," which is an act of hosting M.U.G.E.N creations (primarily characters) on a website without first obtaining the original author's permission. The creators hoped that with their databases and sites offline, many (if not all) of the warehouses would cease to function. During the week of July 23rd, 2006, a few key sites went back on-line, namely "Random Select" and "M.U.G.E.N Infantry."
I think this entire quoted portion should be removed since there have been several events that were more significant and are not mentioned.  There's no reason to catalogue daily events from within the community. Messatsu 11:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really see why this needs to be mentioned here. Though some made a big fuss about it, there are no consequences coming from this at all, really. It's more of a daily happening than a significant event, and compared to other incidents (like the controversities when winmugen first came up), it's hardly noteworthy. --84.133.99.1 00:25, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Insignificant history? 

message: If they must be internal links, creating articles here and interlinking them with this article might be a possibility.  Spec Ops already has it's own article for example. Messatsu 14:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Game Projects 

message: Is it possible for someone to throw up some screenshots of the engine in action? Some people will read this article and might start to question if it really exists. I know people that flip out when something like this pops up. So, I think that some form of pictoral proof should be added to the page. Blacklist 08:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Remeber Wikipedia isn't a political forum. Make sure the entries are unbias and let all sides related give their most important issues. acglass 14:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Vandalism + 3RR Rule

message: Just to keep things clear and straightforward, what exactly would justify as acceptable references for the warehousing section? There are plenty, but most are on the community's forums and in the community's 'code of ethics', making it a little harder to exactly cite things (you're basically asking for references on a community's moral code at the very least). Exact suggestions on what to start with on specific parts would be helpful.--Kung Fu Man 20:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  How do you get M.U.G.E.N 

message: The only known places where M.U.G.E.N is shown with a period following it are the title screen when opening the program and a few places in the documentation.  And in the documents that show M.U.G.E.N. incorrectly, M.U.G.E.N appears more often.  Additionally, M.U.G.E.N (the correct form) is also used in the title bar when launching the program, the select screen, the versus screen, the F1 screen whenever M.U.G.E.N is mentioned (some versions of the program might not mention Mugen), and all documentation including the tutorials, license agreement, tool specifications, etc.
While I'm too lazy to perform a check on the files, the string MUGEN very likely appears more than M.U.G.E.N. in documentation, but can't be taken as official as MUGEN is written only in circumstances where it appears easier to type out.
Additionally, originating from Elecbyte are the acronyms U.N.I.T.E.D and T.E.S.T.P (shown in the upper-left corner of the link).  While each acronym had each letter stand for something, the last letter of each were nonetheless unpunctuated. Messatsu 00:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved the page because when I came across it (I can't remember the circumstances, probably just random browsing), there was nothing in the article to suggest that the period should be omited (there's a big picture right on the page which screams "improper naming"). Also, it didn't seem to be a controversial issue since I was even allowed to move it in the first place (usually, an existing page blocks moves like this, requiring a requested move thingy). To avoid this in the future, it may be helpful to add something in the intro paragraph about this with/without period thing. Axem Titanium 00:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving back to M.U.G.E.N the crappy sequel. 

message: Are these talk pages useful anymore?  Can we just delete them?  They're rather sizeable and haven't been commented in for quite a while. Messatsu 17:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
