C&C

Please do not merge articles like Kane and Tiberian Sun. Kane is an important character that deserves a seperate article and Tiberian Sun is a seperate game. You see, we're trying to split the "Tiberian Series" articles into different articles for the games (all games have there own articles on Wikipedia, and I'm pretty busy, so I didn't get to the seperate Tiberian Dawn article). If you want to make yourself useful, merge all the minor characters in Category:Command & Conquer characters (except the ones I have specified on the talk page) into the new List of Command & Conquer characters article. You could also make seperate Tiberian Dawn, Covert Ops, Sole Survivor, Counterstrike, Aftermath, Firestorm and Yuri's Revenge articles, and clean the main Command & Conquer page.

And I just discovered you axed the GDI and Nod articles. Don't do things like that without talking first! Jareand 22:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Initially I did start listing some of the articles for deletion, but an administrator advised that I should simply be bold, make the changes, and wait for reverts (see my user page). Anyway, I've started a discussion on the Talk:Command & Conquer: Tiberian series page for this clean-up. I've run out of time tonight but I'll get around to talking soon enough. -- Run! 22:42, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to make massive (and in my opinion, completely unnecessary) redirects in the C&C pages you need to have the content alread on the page, otherwise images left on the redirected pages that are claimed as fair use have to be deleted. I would really rather not have the seven or so pictures I uploaded on the tample of nod page permently removed simply because we have no room to display them.

I have to agree - sure, the C&C section needs work but that doesn't mean you can delete all the C&C articles and expect others to rewrite them from scratch on the C&C page. At least discuss it with people; you can't just start destroying parts of the Wikipedia matrix without any consent. Go ahead and add to the articles, but the structure of the C&C part of Wikipedia was sound before you implemented your sweeping changes. This is a textbook example of MPOV...

I agree with The Fish, as per above. Mrbowtie 14:18, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As said, I began simply listing them for deletion, but then an Admin said that was a waste of time and I should be bold about it, make the changes, and wait for reversion. -- Run! 15:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marking all C&C articles for deletion is still pretty radical - imagine if I deleted all science articles because they were "non notable" and proposed a list of all scientific theories... without telling anyone. Anyway, it's too late - here comes the reversion. By all means, edit and improve articles, but don't try to impose your own structure without the support of people who are STILL WORKING on the articles you destroy (I think that's the main problem here). Thanks, and I hope we do not meet again. The Fish 18:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
