Deus Ex Storyline

No problem at all. The game tops my list of favorites, and represents a landmark in game development. I was kind of surprised to find the article missing so much information, and the nerd in me refused to turn a blind eye. I appreciate you noticing the work, and thank you for providing a sold base from which to build. The storyline section should be finished by tonight, but it's getting rather long. I hope you'll be willing to go over it once I'm finished, and add and subtract as necessary. With any luck, we'll make a Featured Article out of this one by early December. Consequentially 01:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I see what you mean about the length. Deus Ex is the first game I've written anything about here on Wikipedia, and I can't count the number of times I've had to flip through Firefox tabs, looking at this article or that article and trying to get a feel for how people discuss fiction on Wikipedia. I've been putting together a short list of things I plan on doing before any discussion of GA-Nomination, although it changes from moment to moment.
  • I'd like to see more images. Half Life 2 and Final Fantasy X both make excellent use of images to assist in explaining the gameplay and plot, and I'd like us to do the same. An image of security hacking would fit well in the discussion of stealth and hacking, and screenshots from different locations in the game would help people "see" the plot as it unfolds. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to take screenshots.
  • The modding and multiplayer sections need serious attention. I'm not familiar with either of them, since all of my DX experience was on the PS2, so I'm not going to be much use there. As it stands, I think the multiplayer section should be reduced to a few sentences and put at the top of the gameplay section, before the discussion on FPS-elements.
  • Our versions section is starting to grow in an odd direction. I'm not sure how the soundtrack fits in there, but I understand the need for that informaiton. The discussion on a film version is pretty shallow, and yet important, and the talk about the versions of the software is lacking also. I've got no clue how to tackle that one quite yet, but I see a definite need to reorganize, relabel, and possibly condense.
  • The sections on In-game fiction, real-world parallels and etymology really shouldn't be their own sections. I plan on moving the in-game fiction information into the Setting section, adding it as evidence of the game's immersive environment. The other two sections I'm not too sure about.
That's really all I've got at the moment. Thoughts? Consequentially 02:17, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

What are your opinions on the edits made by 216.129.211.105? I'm not fond of the overly-detailed examples in the gameplay section -- the article is getting long enough as is -- and his/her additions to the storyline section are exactly the kind of thing I wanted to avoid. I'm not going to unilaterally remove them on my opinion alone, so your input is appreciated. Consequentially 23:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Something I wrote that I'd like your input on

I dunno if I'm way off base here, or right on the money, but I started writing today and it just kept coming. I think you may find it interesting. Let me know what you think. -- Y|yukichigai 02:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Deus Ex mods article

I've dug up some sources to use as a guide for what mod links should be posted in the Deus Ex mods article, which I feel justifies its restoration. AMIB disagrees with me on this point. I'd like your opinion on the matter. -- Y|yukichigai 08:31, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:KibbieDome.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:KibbieDome.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --ccwaters 01:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I dispute this, see talk page. -- Grandpafootsoldier 01:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:RuleofRose.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RuleofRose.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Damn it, forgot. Okay it's fixed now.-- Grandpafootsoldier 08:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
