| Its not a controversy until reported as one. At the moment, I'm seeing nothing more than a light breeze in a teacup. Fans will often complain about practically anything, they aren't considered reliable sources so forum posts, Digg comments, and other user generated sources (including Misplaced Pages itself) aren't suitable. "Controversy" sections are.. err.. controversial, and should only be created in the event of a ''proper'' controversy: for instance, Manchester Cathedral being used in ], and the various issues surrounding ] are controversial, and were reported as such in both gaming and mainstream media. StarCraft II not having LAN is information that should be confined to the development section in the interest of a neutral point of view, especially when sources don't report it as a full blown controversy. These sorts of sources do not do that, they merely state—conveying a little surprise but nothing more—that the game may not have LAN play. A tongue in cheek rule of thumb for this stuff in relation to video games: if it don't have lawyers, it ain't a controversy. -- ] (]) 10:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

| :Its not a matter of the amount of sources, its ''how'' the sources cover the facts. Both the IGN and arstechnia sources merely state that there isn't going to be LAN, to put a spin on it saying that it is a controversy is what we generally refer to as ] here, a form of ]. It ''must'' be reported as a significant controversy or dispute of note explicitly by the sources, and these sources have to reliable: in this particular case, you're looking for gaming and mainstream media, not blogs or sources similar to that (IGN and arstechnica pass as reliable sources in their own right for future reference). The Misplaced Pages-as-a-source comment was because the other guy who started mindlessly adding the controversy section (unlike us, who are discussing it properly) started using other Misplaced Pages articles as a source for the section. In any case, this is merely a development decision and its reaction, so its information, even fan reaction should that be properly sourced to media outlets, is better placed in the development section. As part of neutral point of view bits, sections entitled "criticism", "controversy" and so on are discouraged unless they are the proper stuff that can't be put elsewhere. For instance, with ''Resistance'' mentioned previously, that involves lawsuits, religious problems and questions to the Prime Minister; that can't be properly covered under the umbrella of development and requires a separate section (and in this particular case, an entire dedicated article), whilst this sort of stuff can. -- ] (]) 19:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

Disambiguation link notification for September 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Legal age, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Age of maturity. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
