I noticed that your edit to Console role-playing game got reverted, as well as another edit to Kingdom Hearts. The definition presented was true in the early days of RPG and Adventure games, however, the two genres have begun to pick up each other's characteristics. For example, many consider Final Fantasy the standard for RPGs, and yet FF XII has real-time fighting.

Personally, I think RPGs focus on groups working together, while Adventure games tend to have a hero working mostly alone (like Zelda). In any case, I suggest you avoid taking too dogmatic a position. Citing a single source when you can find many other sources with opposing views indicates that the best one could say is something like "Most RPGs ..." or "Many consider RPGs ..." which is essentially what the intro to Console role-playing game contained.

Thanks for helping make Wikipedia a better place. Don't get discouraged about people reverting your edits, it happens to all of us. ;^) -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle)  (Talk) 19:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Edit warring
I would encourage you to review WP:EW before changing Console role-playing game again. The article you cite is old, and conforms to one of the traditional differences between RPGs and Adventure games. That is what the article was saying, but then went on to list other RPGs that no longer fit that definition.

I have added your citation to the original text. You will find that being willing to compromise works better than being dogmatic at Wikipedia. There are lots of people who think they are right, and most articles try to present the major opinions of a topic. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) (Talk) 19:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
