Talk:Criticism of Second Life

message: Tagged the article for nomination to be checked for neutrality, using . One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. This is one of the the Five Pillars of Wikipedia. It seems that many parts of this article contain user opinions.   --Dillard421 09:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  June 2007 - Neutrality  

message: Should the article include a discussion regarding bugs? My particular "favorites" (note the quotation marks) is the one that causes one's avatar to start flying uncontrollably, either away from a location, sometimes horizontally, despite limits on flight. And then there are those who spend hours "camping" only to find the time wasted because they decided to check their e-mail or surf the Net, which sometimes causes the SL client to log you out even though the image in the program window still shows you taking part in whatever activity you were doing before doing off elsewhere. A third bug involves the sim lag issue, which has driven some area owners to request and in some cases require that visiting avatars remove any scripted add-ons or high "prim" appearances. All three glicthes (well the last is more preventative) are issues that seem to be pretty frequent, from what I've seen. 23skidoo 19:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bugs

message: Much of this section had serious problems with neutral point of view, and violates much of the the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.  Removed sections that had glaringly obvious self-published sources, added proper citation needed tags to sections that would be proper if they had a proper source. All changes clearly documented in edit summary field.  In a nutshell, the entire section cited sources that are rich in emotional self-published content.  The most extreme example of this is made clear in my edit at 22:55, 9 June 2008 -- the only source listed for this entire bloated section was a personal blog, and that's just not going to cut it.  
The criticism section still needs major work.  It's a simple principle of self-published blogs not being acceptable.Mix.master.entropy (talk) 23:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Major edits of "Criticism" section

message: To fix a lot of unverifiable content, NPOV problems, etc. I have gone through and edited or rewritten a lot of content. Unfortunately this resulted in a long list of edits (I was only planning to make a few minor changes but it spiraled into this). Apologies for that. That said, a lot of unverifiable, uncited content dated back up to 8 years and, as such, warranted revision or removal, and some sections had some very blatant NPOV issues which were fixed by heavy editing and removal. Unfortunately a lot of this article consists of repeated information, unsourced accusations, and poor, often broken citations, and would benefit from a complete rewrite to consolidate content (and potentially merge into Second Life). 75.70.43.92 (talk) 20:46, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup & long list of edits 

message: I don't want to call it botched, but there is a lot of original research done in this article, and I've attempted to remove some; as well as some unsourced sections. I'm going to wait and see if there is any backlash to this, otherwise I'll continue tomorrow. Tutelary (talk) 19:16, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
