Video

Video game play footage should be added.--96.37.13.43 (talk) 17:06, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Options

Do you think we should have an options section for the in game options? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.10.148.42 (talk) 14:44, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Probably, but maybe a different title.--96.37.13.43 (talk) 18:21, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
True, but what would we name it?(Don't know how to sign work — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.10.148.42 (talk) 02:37, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking naming the section "Modes". Anyway I think it was already renamed, but you can check. In the coding while you are editing use as many colons as you want indentation. Use --~~~~ at the end of your post for signage.--75.139.97.141 (talk) 01:19, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Highest scorer.

Dont think we should add who the highest scorer is because we don't really know who it is. Many people could have scored higher than ECU and I can even name a few.73.10.148.42 (talk) 14:04, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, not to mention that it just isn't relevant. Wikipedia is not a leaderboard. ~ RobTalk 16:58, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is relevant. It may not be a leader board but the article is not going any more in depth than should be in a basic article on the topic. To be completely honest with ourselves, it should cover it more thoroughly.--75.139.97.141 (talk) 01:16, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also, we should add images for the night-time modes.--75.139.97.141 (talk) 01:41, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Then just say one of the highest scorers. It is better to have an image there than not and with that better to have one with the highest score we have access to. Remember the image has to be in the public domain.
I agree that ECU with 12,000 cannot be the top score. I have only been playing a few weeks and have seen higher. So the picture should be removed as it is misleading. Also any player can take a screen shot of the game and that will be public domain, no? SmokeyTheCat 17:21, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery?

I believe that the amount of images that are in the gallery do not add encyclopedic value. They all show similar things. Please see WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE. Additionally, the captions are not concise. I'll edit the captions now, but is there any objections to removing the majority of these images? Placing maybe one of them in the article near gameplay would be sufficient. One of the FFA images should be deleted as well because they serve the same purpose. ~ RobTalk 17:04, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There should be 6 images in the game play section. 3 modes times 2 ways of entertainment equals 6 combinations of those. One may actually play or spectate. To be reasonably clear enough there should be an image with each. Considering million play this game there should be many more images in the article than there is now.--75.139.97.141 (talk) 01:12, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are already 8 images in the article, and we definitely do not need an image for each game mode, especially considering you're counting three spectating modes of the same game type amongst those. For a good example of image use in an article about a hit video game, see StarCraft. That is a featured article, so is top quality. It has five images total, which were box art, a single gameplay image, an image of campaign scenes, an early build, and a different release of the game. Note that each of these images serves a different purpose, and no two images are particularly similar. There's also a maximum of one image per section to avoid the page being overcrowded with pictures. This is in line with [{WP:MoS]] and specifically WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE. Keep in mind that wikipedia is not a video game guide (see also WP:VGSCOPE). ~ RobTalk 01:44, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History section

I've removed the history section that has alternated between claiming the game was invented on 9gag or on 4chan. No editors have provided any sources for this information, and so as an item of contention, I've removed it entirely until a source is provided. Please note that the burden of verifiability is on the person who adds information. ~ RobTalk 01:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
