replies: text: Links shouldn't be added just because they exist. The other site is more than just forums. Yours is solely forums (and links to such are normally to be avoided) and is brand new to boot. I haven't been as active on Wikipedia over the last year or so and haven't always checked up additions to articles.--Drat (Talk) 11:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Regardless, links to discussion forums violated WP:EL and can not be included in the article. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 16:09, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

text: It violatese several guidelines, most notably that its simply a community site and does nothing to add specific information relevant to the article.  Additionally, "Wikipedia's purpose is not to include a comprehensive list of external links related to each topic."  Likewise, your continued conduct and cries of vandalism against long time editors are violating WP:Civil.  If the conduct continues, the page will be sprotected and your IP will be cited. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 19:43, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

text: It being here for a length of time has no bearing on the issue, and is also covered by policy.  It simply means people did not notice it to remove it yet.  A community site does not offer merit for enhancement of an encyclopedic article.  That's not saying it doesn't offer merit for a community of Battlezone gamers, but that has little bearing on an encyclopedia.  This is an encyclopedia, not a listing of community support sites. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 20:13, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Every single one of my comments has been regarding that.  Once again, a community site does not offer merit for enhancement of an encyclopedic article. This is an encyclopedia, not a listing of community support sites, game support sites, or the like.  Very strictly, the external links are for material that directly enhance the content of an encyclopedic article (a link to an interview with the designer for example) - and even then the policy is that such links somehow try to be integrated in the main article as a citation if at all possible.  A general community club website on a game is not any of that sort of material, and fails the critera. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 21:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: My recent edit (2018-01-25 20:39) made some changes to the wording of the end-of-support section regarding the 1.5 patch. Included are corrections of the project's start and first release dates, as well as mention that its development has now ceased. One of the included citations is Ken Miller's LiveJournal blog, which for compliance with Wikipedia: Citing self-published blogs requires me to note that its reliability can be confirmed via his website videoeventure.org.
