message: "The internet connections at the time and network code flexibilities of Quake II allowed for North American and European players and clans to play in the same competition against each other (which hasn't been possible since)."
This needs clarification. --70.142.40.34 12:42, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Netcode in WF 

message: Hi Shane, I corrected the info after reading your entry.  Sorry about that...only had old web sites to go on which wasn't much.  Feel free make any edits that are necessary, I'm actually working on a WF for UT2004 but will try to keep it neutral on Wiki.
Oh yeah, thanks to everyone who worked on WFUT! :)  Also saw you doing work for the Quake 4 version.  Hope it turns out great.

thread_title:  Fixed info for WFUT 

message: Are any of the listed Weapons Factory mods still alive and kicking, with an active community of people who still play the game?  I remember the last public WFA server went down sometime in 2003, and I'm pretty sure they dropped the ball on the Quake 4 modification (perhaps because of Team Fortress 2?).  I keep seeing WF mods for other games on this Wikipedia page and other sites, but all of their forums seem to have the most recent posts being in 2006, 2007...
So what's the deal with the Weapons Factory franchise?  Is there anything to look forward to, at all, that will actually be finished sometime this year or next year?  --75.165.59.6 (talk) 22:49, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are ANY WF mods currently active and alive? 

message: Based on Wikipedia's Notability page coupled with Wikipedia's Reliable Source page, I believe that there is no question that the entry "Current Activity" falls within Wikipedia's guideline as within the relative significance of Weapons Factory, WFA's current activity is the last and only activity found within the Weapons Factory community and its derivatives.  As the Planetice Forums are also the last community-based page surrounding Weapons Factory it is unquestionably a reliable source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Z00s (talk • contribs) 19:52, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem here is that it's not Wikipedia's job to cover community events unless these events are somehow notable, and notability is established by coverage in reliable, third-party source. Rather, it seems like an ad by someone wanting to draw in more players or potential new players by telling them where to obtain files and after that where they can find other players. Now, specific problems: As for unofficial fansites, these are normally to be avoided per WP:ELNO, #11 specifically, so linking to the unofficial forum at planetice.net is not appropriate. Furthermore, telling people where and when smalltime community events are scheduled is out of question, too, because Wikipedia is not a fansite, and not a manual.

replies: text: As the author of the original Weapons Factory mod for Quake II and Tribes, the information posted here looks correct to me.  If there's any other information or verification I can provide, please let me know. --Greggreno (talk) 16:55, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability from a Reliable Source 

message: I've gone through the article again, and the stuff I removed was primarily unverifiable stuff about the community, dead links, content supported by dead sources, and content not supported by a source at all. Eik Corell (talk) 22:03, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  My edits 

message: WF Wiki has much more detail and is well cited. I am sure someone with more time than me could improve this article using this new point of reference. Humbersi (talk) 23:30, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Unlikely, since the link you provide shows the article as it was originally on wikipedia, before it was mutilated over and over by a bunch of stuck up people. And yeah, I'm the original author. Thiste (talk) 12:14, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
