I'm definately looking for help. I disagree that Wrathgate is "not notable" and would love to spice the page up. ~CrimsonOwl

What is your question exactly though? If you're asking how to make the article more notable, then take a look at Citing sources. I hope this helps, if not please contact me on my talkpage for the quickest reply. SwisterTwister  talk  06:10, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

I realize it might need some work. It's a work in progress and I'll look into what I can add to it. If I come up with any specific questions I'll bring them up. ~CrimsonOwl 0706, 20 July 2011

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Cryptozoic Entertainment. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

I appreciate the concern but it is not advertising when you state, from an non-biased opinion, the facts about a product or company. If you have positive criticism to improve the information please state it and stop trying to delete my work.CrimsonOwl (talk) 19:02, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Per your "my work" comment above, it seems that Ownership of articles could possibly apply in this case? Regardless of who created or worked on an article, no one owns an article on Wikipedia and almost any Wikipedia article is open to being changed by any editor.  We are all here to improve this online encyclopedia and sometimes people's opinions of how to achieve that can differ, but people can still work together.  Per Crimson Owl's suggestions to others, I would suggest that they also start posting on Cryptozoic Entertainment's talkpage and refer to the links provided in the 'Welcome' above. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 19:28, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

I have had no discussion or context with anyone yet they delete information that has been left there with the intent of improvement and addition. Instead of inserting it or making it better it has been outright removed without a contribution. How is that making it better? CrimsonOwl (talk) 19:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)CrimsonOwl


 * Start at WP:WIZ a new draft and now provide some independent, third party references which shows the notability of the game. mabdul 19:47, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I second Mabdul's post about WP:WIZ. I guess, in hindsight as a new/less-experienced editor, it would have been better for you to create the content in your userpace first and then ask for feedback.  As you can see, when an article goes 'live', other editors can and will edit or change an article according to their understanding of Wikipedia guidelines.  While you might not understand other editors' actions, it seems that more than one editor has expressed concerns about your recent contributions Cryptozoic Entertainment & Wrath Gate.  I am going to leave some of what I call 'helpful links' on this talkpage for you to refer to as you continue to work on Wikipedia articles in the future. Shearonink (talk) 19:49, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
