Criticism
How come there's no Criticism section? There's an Awards section, isn't there? Criticism for this game exists.162.115.108.104 (talk) 03:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
- If it exists then you should be able to find it and add it. 203.59.45.96 (talk) 06:40, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- Criticism sections are in the revision history, but have been stricken. Why? 71.252.229.135 (talk) 00:52, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- If it's there and it it's well written and sourced, feel free to put it back... be bold and all that... ~Fenrisulfr (talk · work) 06:30, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- I just had a look through the page-history and could indeed, as you claim, find criticism in the page history. What little I could find was, however, unsourced and therefore irrelevant to the article. One persons feelings about the game is neither encyclopedic nor interesting. ~Fenrisulfr (talk · work) 06:39, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

- Criticism sections are generally considered bad style - usually editors are encouraged to directly put "criticism" directly into the sections where it is relevant, together with the other information on that subject. Averell (talk) 08:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hm. The style advice for criticism seems to refute "be bold" quite thoroughly. Also, the consideration that "one person's feelings are neither encyclopedic nor interesting" is quite broad indeed! With no easy resolution to that dilemma, as well as the seeming hostility packed into the eve verse, it's starting to make sense why a criticism section never sticks. 162.115.108.102 (talk) 23:43, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- Let me just clarify. When I say "one persons feelings about the game is neither encyclopedic nor interesting", what I mean is that the personal opinion of the editor in question has no place on Wikipedia. If the criticism it's sourced from a reliable, notable source, however, the opinions of one person can be of interest. It is probably, as mentioned above, a better idea to include the criticism in the relevant sections, rather than include a "Criticism" section. ~Fenrisulfr (talk · work) 08:37, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- Criticism turned into Public Perception around the time that I pointed out that many of the things presented as problems or bugs with the game were supported features and popular with the userbase. You can still put criticism into Public Perception if it's notable.87.115.46.80 (talk) 10:12, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

- From the above comments, it looks like Reception or Public Perception would be decent places for criticism. I wonder if Zero Punctuation could be considered reliable or notable.162.115.108.103 (talk) 23:38, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Eve Fanfest 2009
Should it be mentioned on what CCP is planning on doing/implementing such as docking bays, Fighter Bombers, Treaties etc. after Dominion?

I would think most would be mentioned on upcoming features/development...
--VertigoOne (talk) 20:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
I added new content for future developments straight from Torfi Frans' (Senior Producer for the game) speech at the 2009 Eve fanfest discussing the upcoming Dominion and Incarna. A short stub section which was promptly deleted. Please. If someone considers it not well written - EDIT it - leave the content there. If you don't know enough about it to edit it - please watch the video where the CEO and senior producer talk about it - I even wrote down how to find it. If new content that is reliable (straight from the horses mouth as it were) is deleted then there is no way this article will stay abreast of such a dynamic game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.131.133 (talk) 06:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Why is planetary flight even mentioned if in the next sentence it is dismissed and not on CCP' prioroty list of thing to develop at this point. When at Fanfest they announced what they ARE working on and should be mentioned! --68.209.227.3 (talk) 06:41, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
