Initial Article

Initial article created. Will be adding more when the time comes. Soon.

Deletion Prod

I objected to the prod, so I removed it (based on the text it said if anyone objects for any reason it can be removed, and sent through afd). If you feel that it has to be deleted, or it's a personal crusade then feel free to add it to articles for deletion and let the community as a whole decide on this one. It was previously deleted, and I re-created it to try and bypass it's initial problems. --businessman332211 (talk) 14:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not a crusade, it just doesn't have sources that assert notability. Presumably these do exist? Miremare 19:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. There should be a lot there, give me about 2 days I will rewrite part's of it. If I can't find any really good sources on google, then I will go ahead and blank it. Just give me a few day's on this to get things together on the article. --businessman332211 (talk) 21:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Miremare 22:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability, crusade same thing really. Just trying to delete for the sake of deleting —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.171.94 (talk) 02:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2nd person POV

please rewrite this article without 2nd person to make it more encycolopedic--71.167.81.247 (talk) 02:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm planning to once I get some free time. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 02:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to spring break, I've had time to clean this up and move it to a more appropriate title. On further investigation, I found that a lot of the second-person material was directly copy-pasted from the Urban Rivals site, too. Ouch. FlamingSilmaril (talk) 21:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Affiliate marketing

There seem to be attempts to use Wikipedia for affiliate marketing for Urban Rivals. E.g. [1] [2] [3] [4]. This is not acceptable. --Rumping (talk) 00:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted (and will continue to delete) affiliate marketing attempts. Qbqbonion (talk) 06:32, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Revamped

I redid some articles and introduced the new clans section. Urban Rivals username: Soviet Killer. Fuji12345677 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 17:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Expanding the Article

I am planning on expanding the scope of this article to include some basic info on the clans, as well as more detail on the various modes of play and game mechanics. Hopefully this will be done within the next few days. TheDarkAdonis (talk) 20:40, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Before you get too stuck in, be sure to read through WP:Writing about fiction and WP:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines - in particular WP:VGSCOPE points 5 and 6 ("Excessive fictional details" and "Lists of gameplay items, weapons, or concepts".) What the article desperately needs is further information culled from reliable, independent sources - at the moment we only have a citation to a single, not particularly well written, review. Marasmusine (talk) 10:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will keep that in mind. TheDarkAdonis (talk) 16:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
