User talk:Timoi/WikiScopeDraft

About disallows you propose

 * 1) Articles about games may be used as very examples of game genre, e.g. article about DooM is to be example of FPS. I do not think that a lot of GM Games deserve articles, but, at least, competitions winners deserve being talked about.
 * 2) Of course, articles with address User:User is just for this purpose. However, there are Mark Overmars page, that is about user. So don´t wide this rule.
 * 3) Game Maker also has instructions and manuals. Information about how to use other software with Game Maker may be very useful and compliant (unless GM decompiler, of course). tolich 12:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1. Obviously Doom could be used as an example as an FPS, but linking to a Wikipedia article about it would be far more effective than a two paragraph page on this Wiki. There could be a rule about allowing competition entries as articles, but there's many non-competition games that are better than them, so it doesn't stand up. Within articles about the competitions short descriptions would be fine. I don't see how a rule that allows articles about games would be workable without many disputes which may arise over how people describe the game.


 * 2. Mark Overmars isn't technically a user of Game Maker, he's the creator of it, an article about him is obviously fine then.


 * 3. Information about other programs would allow people to find programs that complement Game Maker, but I don't think details on the actual use of it best serves people. Linking to existing and more thorough documentation can better teach people how to use the program. --Timoi 15:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 2. I meant Mark is a User of this WiKi. Also I dont't think he never uses his own program. He obviously used it to make tutorials, example for his book, and, sure, he used it for making games. At least, he is not to pay for its usage. :) tolich 17:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
