*There was alot of bad grammar and spelling, and the editing (believed to be done by young children), only seemed to make the article worse. If we can keep those people from editing again, then article will not be deleted again. 70.129.101.160 00:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Guys Calm down
personally this guide should be opened for editing as i think that the content of the current page is appaling and that 2 year olds could do better. So just reopen it and get an administrator to help run the page by banning submitors of dodgy edits

*The admin who has being trying to keep an eye on this active article, Gwernol, has graciously changed the article to Semi-Protected status.  This means that it can now be edited again, but only by users who have been registered for at least four days. To User:Rogsmer, if you can improve the article, I would now encourage you to be bold and do so.  And all of us need to do our part to get the article up to standards.  The main issue seems to concern users trying to make this into a game guide.  See WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information that specifically prohibits "tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides..."  Also, all edits should provide a source citation per Wikipedia:Verifiability. Thanks, Satori Son 18:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Gameplay is the easiest section to make. A gameplay section (plus a few screenshots) would greatly hel a casual reader who just happenned to stumble onto the article. A production section would also improve the article, and'll help bring up a level on the article assessment rating. For the gameplay, talk about currency, what players can do, maybe the mini games, events, but makke sure it doesn't sound like a game guide. Abby724 00:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *As long as it's not a walk-through or tutorial, a gameplay summary section would certainly be appropriate.  Here are some articles that reached Featured Article status and have solid gameplay sections: Donkey Kong, Doom, Final Fantasy X-2, Katamari Damacy, and Super Mario 64. --Satori Son 00:37, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: *I have taken a stab at starting it, but it is still obviously very rudimentary.

message: In the moderators section, I think that it may be sensible to add that the moderators Billybob and Gizmo have been banned forever. So all of u Wikipedians can c for urselfz, their passwords r the same as their usernames. §Bugatti Wikipedio 23:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: First off, this is discussion for an encylopiedia. We do not use chat lanuage in Wikipedia. Second, they were not banned. It just says that so you cannot get onto their accounts, even if you have their password. Jmclark911 00:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, moderators change their name sometimes. for example: fake rsnail, fake billybob, fake gizmo....etc. They do so because they dont want people to crowd around them too much while they are doing some testing. --24.80.142.54 05:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  A comment 

message: It's got a beautiful lead section. Truly a wondrous, cited lead that makes other leads envious. The rest of the article, not so much so. But it's got a beautiful lead.
The basic problem is that there doesn't seem to be any sort of rhyme or reason to the article: no organization, no focus, just a bunch of individual aspects of the game. My advice is to look at some of CVG's featured articles and learning from them.
Regarding the importance (as specifically requested), there isn't enough data in the article to really give me a sense that the game is influential either in terms of being popular, well-received, or of historical note, so I'm basically giving it low-importance by default. If you have any further questions, contact me Nifboy 02:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Assessment 

message: Just like Minigames (Club Penguin), i think that there should be an article completely devoted to giving information about all of the different rooms. It could show what they look like, what you can do there and what games you can play. I think it would be much better and much more informative that the list of "...Ski Village, Town, Boiler Room, HQ..." that we have at the present time. --Coin945 08:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I know that this article was too much like a game guide but I think it made a very informative asset to wikipedia and club penguin lovers. I propose that someone with a bit more experience in making articles than I should make the article again, but a lot less gameguide-like.--Coin945 02:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Minigames (Club Penguin)

message: I am proposing a merge of Puffle, Lighthouse (Club Penguin), and G (club penguin) into the Club Penguin article. The Puffle article does not include much information that is not already in the Club Penguin article. The Lighthouse article is short enough to fit into this article. The G is a stub and can fit into this article. Other pages are not necessary if the information can fit into the original page and there is not a substantial amount of information to warrant the creation of another page.
