 * Excellent, it's looking a lot better now. The article has already improved a lot in the past few days. Gary King ( talk ) 02:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Pshaw, I know you're just after another FTC star :P Looking further at the development section, I can't help but think that it might be better to merge together some of the headers and go through a more focused, historical view of the development. The Steam section and Soundtrack would remain seperate, but the rest of the information might be better served reformatted and with some additional content focusing on the inception. I know there's Raising the Bar out there at the very least, along with primary sources, so it shouldn't be that hard to bolster the section.

 * The article is also already a part of an existing FT, so it's gotta be saved otherwise the topic dies :( Gary King ( talk ) 23:35, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm... if that topic dies, one of your shiny stars goes rust-colored... *begins creating vandal sockpuppets to screw over Half-Life 2 article* :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 02:15, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Bah. I need backup topics to fight back! Gary King ( talk ) 02:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Eh, not really, considering my prospective featured topics are basically one-man works-in-progress :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 02:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh, to think that Gary once told me that he didn't get the point of FTs :p Then after he started working on them, it took him a month to knock me off at WP:WBFTN. Oh well, I guess that means I'm either a good mentor or Gary is just way more talented. Oh, and FWIW, I've created what I think is a bit of a solution to the one-man topic crusade thing that most people do with WP:ANIME's topic workshop. sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 22:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
