    OH! But Falcon, acting like that breaches the wiki WP:whipitout policy!

    But all joking aside falcons right we had a few people who didn't act that way and in turn helped those who wanted to delete the article (Like the threats to admins for example). Thanks alot guys! its all your fault! :p

    The wikipedia system is corrupted to the core due to the fact that everyone can be admin. Apparently it was made to be that way to diminish the special status of an administrator, but as you can see it has only made things worse... WickeThEwok for example misuses his standing by nominating tons and tons of stuff into AfD, just take a look to his contributions. :D There are wastly more deletions than protections or edits. This guy is there just to delete articles... The current way wikipedia works makes people like him flourish in the e-penis business. Not a good thing at all.

    Book burners should be shot!

    So who is a super admin and can slap the lesser admins with some sense? Falcon, if you keep participating in their deluded community, I'd suggest making a user page so it's not so obvious you're a heretic.

    I was kindof figuring that I wouldn't in order to reinforce that I didn't care what they thought of my character, so long as they paid attention to my opinions. I suppose I might as well though.

    But there is no way any of their "Not notable" arguments could even come close... all the magazine articles, the won competition (There are 2 right?)

    I suggest that you get your e-penis bloated in the eyes of wikipedia admins before doing that, otherwise they'll just rape you with theirs.

    1: I've never made threats
    2: I've never intentionally insulted or been rude to an admin
    3: I've never tried to... okay, I "bent" the rules occasionally. but only in the name of a greater good (no, not to get the empires wiki in there, but to make the discussion clearer and less trashy / truer to actual arguements). And i've never encoraged anyone else to do this.
    4: I'm banned. :(. because of SPAMMING, apparently.

    It's your gain from my perspective. At least now you won't be tempted to waste anymore time on there.

    this may sound dumb, but i don't think you should worry yourself about it either. you have better things to deal with to be honest, namely making the game so damn good and so damn popular that wikipedia asks US to create a page for them. it's gunna happen. soon

    To be truthful, I never knew empires had a wiki page till now. Well, DID have a wikipage.

    That's pretty cool. I had no idea Dice ever tried Empires, but I'm glad they liked it. Too bad they couldn't have jumped in and somehow helped sort out the crashes.
