![]() Delerium1 ( talk) 18:11, 5 June 2014 (UTC) Guideline #13 for external links is pretty clear here: "Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article. Seader, what else would you like to see on the homepage for the game server where the majority of the game's remaining players reside? I believe there is enough content there (and again reiterating the fact that this is the game's 'flagship' server right now) for it to be more than relevant to this article. The link is not just about game mechanics game accounts can be created here, there are links to the original (101, 102) servers, links to forums and IRC for discussing game content, links to the github page for commenting on or submitting code changes and also blog posts and update posts which discuss current and future changes (for 103). Not only is this directly related to the game (and thus the article) it is also correctly placed in the open source section since the server is built from the open source code. Most of the population remaining in this game resides on server 103, the webpage for which is the link in question here. Currently there are three active servers: 101 and 102 hosted by the owner of the source and one of the original creators of the game, and 103 which is the first significant server to operate using the open source code. Daenks ( talk) 18:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC) The article is Meridian 59. Kind regards Seader ( talk) 18:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC) The important word here is "seems" please look up the definition. Daenks ( talk) 18:14, 5 June 2014 (UTC) " but he seems unwilling to do so.". I opened this request to get external opinions, not to repeat the same items again. I am not going to respond to the argument you laid out above, as I have already done so in the Talk:Meridian 59 page. I have not said one negative thing about you. I do not understand why you keep thinking I am insulting or targeting you. Kind regards Seader ( talk) 17:50, 5 June 2014 (UTC) I did not speak for you. This whole homepage is not about this game or its development but only about this one server and thatfore (external links guildelines #13) and because it is advertisement for one specific server it should not have any space in the article. ![]() Even the linked game wiki on this homepage is only about this one server. It also links only to the forum and blog of the developers team of this one specific server. I also see it as advertisement of this one specific server since when u enter the homepage the first things u see is "Home of Server 103" and "Server 103 Changelogs", "Server 103 Charter", "Server 103 Statistics" and also the tool with which you can create an account for this one server to play on it. The private homepage is only about the game mechanics and changes of one specific server which is also owned by the same person who runs the homepage and not about the game in general. Similarly, a website on a specific subject should usually not be linked from an article about a general subject.". The discussed link is how I already explained violating against #13 "Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article. I again ask you kindly to stop with your assumptions about other peoples intends or doings and to follow the guidelines for discussions. I already requested a third opinion on this even before CaptRik suggested this discussion here. Please see the full discussion so far here: Talk:Meridian_59#Link Daenks ( talk) 17:35, 5 June 2014 (UTC) It is not you to decide what I am willing to do or not. I claim that the link adds unique value to the page. Seader claims the link I have added to Meridian 59: is an advertisement, and that it does not belong on the page. I am therefore opening this so that a resolution can be reached. It was suggested by CaptRik to Seader to open up his dispute here, but he seems unwilling to do so. ![]() And at the moment there is no way to make a distinction without violating original resarch guidelines but this does not matter in this discussion anymore. Stfg ( talk) 10:40, 9 June 2014 (UTC) Well depending on the answer from the project for videogames they can. Please see my comments below, which address the risk of spam. ![]() Seader ( talk) 09:28, 9 June 2014 (UTC) I disagree that anyone who opens a server with a home page can do that. Resolved – Case seems resolved since it seems that at an open source game everyone who is opening a server with a homepage is allowed to link it in the original game article in Wiki.
