Talk:Deco Online

This article is kind of poorly written. Something about the grammar/style. It doesn't sound like it was written by someone who speaks English natively. Ohemgee 05:20, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Ohmegee, also "Currently the petition has way over a hundred email addresses on the list, so if you want to help bring back DECO Online please contact Casualmisfit on YouTube." This doesn't seem very 'encyclopedic', more of a request for users to sign the petition? Mattie (talk) 12:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Rather than complaining, maybe you should try and improve the article. Maybe it is a request, but I think that a lot of DECO Online players would like to know about the petition as it was a great game. --Joshebowe (talk) 21:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

This information is now old and need to be replaced with updates from the new release that was released on April 30th 3am pacific west coast time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Minsoo.sol.kang (talk • contribs) 16:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me but '2k' hardly seems like an encyclopedic way to refer to Windows '2000' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeotronic (talk • contribs) 23:27, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

New Publisher

Hey, I hope this message is being read anytime soon, I am new to this Wikipedia editing/discussions :D So the reason I'm sending this message is because of the messed up history of this page and as I am actually running a server of this Game listed as "mod" of Deco Online in the IGDB (https://www.igdb.com/games/chimera-online--2), I want to help cleaning up this mess.

In fact there haven been multiple server of this game in the past few years. All ran by the same persons under different names, which you obviously noticed in the recent changes to this page.

So well the "mod" server I am running is called Chimera Online, with an official (simple) Website (https://chimera-online.com) and a discord server(https://discord.gg/chimeraonline). The game can be downloaded at gamejolt and other places (mega & gdrive) https://gamejolt.com/games/ChimeraOnline/678249.

I would really like to be accepted and acknowledged as a publisher of this game. Is this possible by any means? Do you need something from me to validate the story? I understand that this Game site history looks very fishy and would like to help out. Stiffner (talk) 21:26, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

No. This is pretty much raw promotion. Content on Wikipedia requires coverage in reliable secondary sources, of which you've presented none. This is why this article will likely be deleted entirely soon. -- ferret (talk) 21:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

The content of the IGDB is not considered as reliable secondary source?

Isn't this the way all game sites on wikipedia are written? I mean that even the site for the original game was designed like this. Only sources for the content of the site was the official game's website.

My intention is to show people that are interested in the game, because they played it back in their childhood, that it is alive again and can be played today. Stiffner (talk) 14:29, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Running a pirate server does not make you a 'publisher'. You would need to have bought the IP rights from the previous publisher for that, and we would need independent reliable sources that confirmed that. IGDB is user generated content and is not remotely reliable. MrOllie (talk) 14:33, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

No, IGDB is not a reliable source. No, that's not how articles are suppose to be written. Deco Online is nominated for deletion expressly because secondary sources cannot be located. -- ferret (talk) 14:43, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

But how does this make any sense? How should it be possible to show a Video Game in Wikipedia if it is required to be listed in an "relieable source" first while the game's website or an entry in a Games Database is not considered relieable at all? IGDB is checking the entrys that are done by "users" you can't just post anything there without having a proove of it being true.

Just as an example for a public known video Game the site for "World of Warcraft" has no listed sources other than the main game website itself. All the references in that page do not "proove" that Blizzard is the publisher of WoW, tho everyone knows and accepts it. I'm trying to understand here what kind of relieable source is required.

And by the way, the site "relieable sources" does not claim that it is a MUST to be based on "relieable sources". It only states that it SHOULD be basing on them Stiffner (talk) 10:28, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

That is simply incorrect, World of Warcraft has numerous citations to independent, reliable journalists. You are not going to get anywhere on Wikipedia by trying to convince people that the core content policies are optional. MrOllie (talk) 12:17, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
