M.U.G.E.N

I'm submitting this article because I believe it contains potentially POV sections namely the "warehousing" section, I have debated with the main contributer of the article and so far haven't came to a resolution, so I would like to have unbiased opinions about the article.Sonic Hog

Okay, here goes:

WP:LAUNDRY lists: It is very unnecessary to have things like "Exit - Closes the program"; these are indicative of a list that shouldn't be a list. The entire "gameplay modes" list is unnecessary because these options are all described in prose further down.

Yeah, not sure what I was thinking there either...I'll go ahead and rewrite/remove a lot of that.--Kung Fu Man 23:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the liberty of removing the "reserved keys" and "Switching order in Turns mode" sections. WP:NOT a how-to.
Cite sources. Do research. Any major gaming sites/magazines/etc done features on Mugen? This applies to all sections.

The basic problem with that is outside of the mugen community itself, even in magazine such as EGM, Mugen has been touted as nothing more than some overglorified game/dream match gone wild. It's a bit difficult when the sources of the actual information tend to be the people working with the engine or the engine's own documentation.--Kung Fu Man 23:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is "actual" information and there is "well, what did critics think of it?", both of which are important aspects of a topic. Nifboy 04:09, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than cite generic copyright FAQs, try to find sources relating directly to Mugen, rather than attempt to synthesize an argument (WP:OR).

I think there's a good article trying to get out of the current one, it just needs some coaxing. Nifboy 16:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which is why I'm glad it's (finally) getting peer reviewed! Messatsu 05:15, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Despite some controversies - modifications made on the actual engine are sometimes seen as an analogue to those made on the creations developed for it, and this is a recurrent topic of discussion among M.U.G.E.N fans (see Fork (software development))."

What, exactly, is this sentence trying to say? It looks like it's missing the second half of that sentence. Nifboy 06:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea. It looks like a bad editting job, but the sentence survives its first draft even. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=M.U.G.E.N&oldid=23289092 Messatsu 07:35, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see, it was originally part of the preceding sentence: "...Most popular MUGEN used today, despite some controversy - blah blah blah." Nifboy 12:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
