Red Eclipse
Hi Favoritopon, I want to give you a heads up that I'll be making some changes to your contributions to this article. I don't want you to think that I'm mindlessly hacking away at your text so I'll put brief rationales in my edit summaries - contact me on the article's talk page, or my talk page, if you need further explaination. Thanks, Marasmusine (talk) 06:20, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Favoritopon, thanks for your reply. I'm always worried about scaring new editors away when I make heavy edits to their contributions. I'll take a closer look at the wiki link you gave me, later on today. And I'll describe what we should focus on in the article to improve it. Marasmusine (talk) 06:46, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Okay, if the Red Eclipse wiki is the developer's official wiki for the game, then yes it's appropriate to link to it in the "External links" section. I want to explain a bit about the "notability" tag on the article. WP:Notability is the guideline we use to determine if a topic needs its own article or not. Generally we require a topic to have received significant coverage from reliable sources. During my edits, I left in the two strongest citations: Joystiq and Geeky Gadgets. These are both "reliable" websites (although I'm not 100% sure about Geeky, I gave it the benefit of the doubt). The problem is that neither present "significant coverage"; just links to the version 1.0 trailer with some brief information. For videogames, full reviews hit this criteria, but I haven't found any for Red Eclipse yet. It could be that RE just doesn't meet our notability requirements. But this is not to say that RE shouldn't be mentioned in Wikipedia at all: a paragraph summarizing it could be included in another article. What do you think?
