Mafia and "The Center Network"
I've reverted your change to "Mafia (game)" in which you added details on "The Center Network". The external link was reverted because Wikipedia is not a link site. There is really only room for one or two examples of Mafia game sites. Any such sites will need to exhibit at least as much notably, as verified by third party sources, as the current sites listed (at the moment, mafiascum.net). As for the addition to the "Online play" section, again you'll need to show why TCN is exceptionally noteworthy; there are a multitude places to play online with all sorts of variant rules, listing them all is not useful. — Alan De Smet | Talk 05:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Not to be rude, but that reverting was uncalled for. If you bothered going to take a look at TCN, you'd see that we blow the shit out of the water when it comes to Mafia games. Our games are insanely more elaborate and detailed than mafiascum will ever have, this I can promise.

If any site on here should be featured as an example of how a mafia game should be, it's The Center Network.

 * There are a large number places to play Mafia online. You'd need to provide evidence that TCN is especially notable.  That TCN has exceptionally elaborate games isn't terribly notable in and of itself; if anything it's a poor example because it doesn't match the more common case. Wikipedia definately shouldn't be in the business of identifying how Mafia "should" be done; it should document the most common cases.  Further discussion would probably be best done at Talk:Mafia_(game) so that other editors interested in Mafia can easily chime in.  Note that there is an existing section discussion on what external links there should be.     — Alan De Smet | Talk 07:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
