City Building Series
It was one of my earliest articles, and remained mostly untouched since then. Any ideas on how to expand the article without having the need to create individual articles (which will eventually happen) ? wS;✉ 05:45, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd write some more information for each of the individual games, moving away from having everything in bullet-points. Just use normal prose. Besides that, what is the reason you don't want to split off the individual articles yet? Jacoplane 10:25, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd develop more of a history involving the series. Also, add some developer information to the article.  Like Jacoplane, I'm curious why you don't want individual articles? -- ZeWrestler   Talk 17:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Simple: Few series have so much in common with each other, while being different enough to justify different articles for each game. IMHO, instead of duplicating the description of common game concepts (such as how houses evolve, water distribution, etc), having a strong and well developed section in the base article would allow better information management since the backbones would be presented in only one article, instead of many. If we hold the creation of individual articles until the key parts are here, it would be so much easier to write the articles, since instead of writting in order to improve housing, first water must be brought, then goods X and finally goods Y and frequent visits by walker from building Z. That's just my opinion, of course it won't do no harm creating individual articles now, but I feel work on them would be faster if done this way. wS;✉ 12:50, 27 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I've expanded the article with a concepts section, I'd appreciate some reviewing/copyediting. wS;✉ 08:33, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Did some copyedits on the article. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 15:00, 4 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Second expansion, "textified" the games section. Also, Zeus now has an article. wS;✉ 02:34, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * IMHO it's a good idea to move the 'games in the series' section above the concepts and mechanics. Jacoplane 02:42, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Good call, I was almost asleep while finishing the article, and even forgot to add a pre-compiled list of links I've searched. wS;✉ 10:26, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
