I understand what your trying to say, however the edit was not for Advertisement or promotional purposes, more for teaching people how to play dwarf fortress for absolute beginners with no understanding at all to the game. The first place people would go to find out how to play a game would be Wikipedia. And I am simply giving a guide to those with less understanding of the game, because Dwarf Fortress is a very complicated game.

 * Hi. I understand that you were not trying to advertise, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as such is not intended as a tool for teaching people how to play games - in fact, instruction/tutorial material of any sort is not really appropriate here. Have a look at WP:GAMEGUIDE for details. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:36, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
