Talk:GU Comics

Single video game???

Whats with the plethora of WoW comics? Im quite sick of WoW and graduated to better games now. Please try to do something else, WoW is for immature kiddies and not everyone who read your comics are 12 years old.

So you honestly think all 11 million World of Warcraft players are immature and 12 years old? Seriously, grow up, and learn to sign your posts, please. 78.70.249.253 (talk) 21:31, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

NPOV

The following section

Jack Thompson Controversy- GU Comics has, along with many other webcomics, on many occassions taken on anti-videogame campaigner and lawyer Jack Thompson through a combination of parodies in several comics, and raising awareness within the gaming community of the activities of Mr. Thompson.

seems to lack a NPOV concerning Jack Thompson. While I personally hold no love for the guy, the phrase "raising awareness" has a POV feel to it. To almost seems akin to "raising awareness" for HIV/AIDS or the like. Mikemill 22:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I changed it to say

GU Comics has, along with many other webcomics, on several occasions taken on lawyer Jack Thompson, known for his activism against violent video games, through a combination of parodies in several comics, and letting the gaming community know about the activities of Mr. Thompson.

I hope this is better. Minirogue 00:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

That works. I am not used to writing in an NPOV style, too against my nature I guess, so no worries--Breandán 02:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Recommend monitoring for vandalism, NPOV statements as to the person WHearn, if source-able should be made into a sub of the article. However they need to meet the criteria worth being part of wikipedia. wageit

Vandal Edits

This issue, for intents and purposes has been "resolved". If you would like to discuss it futher please use another form of communication to address it with me personally. Whearn 17:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Uhh...I'm not too sure since I am still kind of a noob at the whole Wikipedia thing, but I'm not sure you are supposed to delete an entire talk topic like that...but I have no problem with it personally. Just letting you know in case you get scolded by someone more experienced or something. Minirogue 19:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

as the person who was subject to derogatory remarks from my supposed friend regarding myself being vapid etc and was extremlley annoyed by the whole incident with my half wit of a flatmate to the degree I have now left the GU site where i have been happy for years I am quite pleased he has removed this minirogue so no issues from the other adult side of the conversation.

If this is viewed by a moderator and they are worried the other parties are annoyed let me add that I am quite pleased that this has been taken down.

As W Hearn is the owner of the GU site and I was the party who had been "possibly" implicated for the half wit who lives in the same houses actions I am quite happy this has been taken down and have no issues.82.30.252.45 20:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

External links

The following is a misplaced appendix. Moved here for any discussion on inclusion per WP:ELBURDEN:

Further information: Wikipedia: External links

Some things just grow during incremental edits and sometimes get out of hand. The "External links" section, one of the optional appendices, was expanded to 12 entries, organized into three subsections. Three seems to be an acceptable number, and of course, everyone has their favorite to try to add for a fourth. Consensus needs to determine this. A tag indicates concerns.

However, none is needed for article promotion.

Some links may be included in WP:ELNO, or What Wikipedia is not (policy) such as WP:NOTREPOSITORY or WP:NOTGUIDE.

• WP:ELDEAD may apply.
• In some cases ELCITE applies: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section. Others, listed below:
• ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
• LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
• ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.

The External links guideline This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.

Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

• • Please also note:
• WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them. Please do not add back more links without consensus. Simple solution to facilitate career maintenance tag. Move links here for discussion.
