I am going to block you from Wikipedia, permanently, for wearing clothes of the wrong color. DS 17:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

More to the point, I'm rather dubious about whether the Mirzone website deserves its own entry. I'll think about it, but it's probably going to be deleted soon. DS 17:32, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Not sure if I can edit this here. I have seen several topics which may not be classified as deserving its own entry however I do not see the problem with the entry. No other topics under Mirzone would be there and therefore it fills a gap in for the Legend Of Mir Encyclopedia. As a company we work alongside both iENT and the previous hosts Quality Gaming Online and as such have an important role; seing as we cannot add a link or testiment to there pages I think having our own small reference is only fair —Preceding unsigned comment added by RelianKru (talk • contribs)

As for whether Mirzone deserves its own article, check out WP:WEB for the notability criteria for websites. If Mirzone doesn't meet them, as I would suspect, it'll probably be deleted soon. However, I don't think a link from the Legend of Mir articles (in the external links sections) would be inappropriate. If Mirzone does meet WP:WEB, the article should say why. Also, you have to be careful to write the article neutrally; all information on it should be verifiable from sources external to the Mirzone site itself. Anyway, good luck with all that, and let me know if you have questions.

Thank you for your nice welcome. Like requested I updated the information about Mirzone, please tell me if this match the rules of Wikipedia. --RelianKru 07:33, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * You didn't include any info about why the Mirzone web site is notable. From WP:WEB, a website is notable if (1) it's been the subject of multiple non-trivial independent works (such as reviews or articles, but stress on independent here: a website's own press releases or advertising don't count), (2) it's won a well-known, independent award, or (3) its content is distributed independently.  As a forum, it really can't meet #3, because there is no "content," it's just a meeting ground.  What's more, the article MUST demonstrate that the website meets these criteria.  It's a pretty tough standard, but there's a reason for it: WP is not a venue for advertising.  I checked out the Mirzone web site, and frankly, it's small potatoes; a few hundred posts and a couple of dozen active contributors.  I'm planning to nominate this page for deletion, but I'll give you a few days; if there is actual notability, mention it in the article.


 * Okay, that's the bad news. The good news is that to whatever extent Mirzone has an official relationship with the game's producer, that information is reasonable to include in the Legend of Mir articles.  Mangojuice 14:26, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Since no changes have been made in 4 days now, I've proposed this page for deletion. If you don't object, the page will be deleted within a few days.  If you do object, remove the  tag from the top of the article, and I'll nominate it for AfD where a fuller debate can take place.  Keep in mind, though, that with no evidence of passing WP:WEB, I would be very surprised if an AfD debate didn't result in deletion.  Mangojuice 21:25, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Mirzone
Ok, I am understanding that Mirzone doesn't match the rules of Wikipedia and that it must be removed. Sad news for us but like I said it is understandable and just fair. I edited the information about the Legend of Mir 3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Mir_3 and mentioned Mirzone in the article.

Also I want to inform you that the link "German site" redirects to an illegal Mir3 pirate server. Just Gamenetwork has the licence to run Mir2 and Mir3 in Europe. I know that Gamenetwork already started legal steps against this server but you might want to remove this link, too.

 * If you think the link should be removed, go for it. Wikipedia encourages you to be bold in editing, which means, edit first and discuss later, as long as you don't think the edits are especially controversial.  If you're right about that "German site," it might well have been included as a spam link; if it's not a useful or informative external source, it's totally fair game to remove it and I doubt it would be controversial.

Image Tagging Image:Desk021024.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Desk021024.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images 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. 82.83.98.101 15:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
