Assassin's Creed II

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Assassin's Creed II appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Cocytus [»talk«] 00:57, 21 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree with this and is why I removed the edit. Let me know if you have questions. --MWOAP (talk) 22:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hello, I'm responding to your (Hansen587) question on my talk page. Your edit is not neutral because it's an opinion (phrases like "The blood aspect of the game is rather evident, but not totally gory and disgusting" depends on your definition/interpretation, and "Parents should know that this game has its violence, but is nothing awful. Assassin’s Creed 2 has nothing terrible in it and it is definitely an appropriate game for 14 and older." is your opinion) Verification by reliable sources is necessary for inclusion of information. Wikipedia also does not accept original research. If you find some reliable sources describing what you would like to include, by all means throw the information in there and cite it. However, you can't add your own, unverified opinions or analysis. Wikipedia is not an essay on an individual person's opinions (unless that is the article topic, etc.). Once again, this is not to say that information along these lines is unacceptable, merely that you need to provide verifiable, neutral, reliable sources for it. I mean, I own and play Assassin's Creed II, so I understand what you're writing about. The ESRB would certainly disagree with your statement that it's OK for 14-year olds, and no single user's opinions are really notable enough to merit inclusion. In summation, feel free to add information similar to what you added, provided that it's backed up by suitable sources. I have no gripes about the nature of your information, just that it was added as a personal editorial, rather than an encyclopedic description of reliable sources. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Cocytus [»talk«] 00:07, 24 November 2009 (UTC)Reply


A detailed review of the game doesn't really belong here, for reasons Cocytus has already noted. The fact that it's the ESRB doesn't give any particular exception, and in fact, I could probably argue that the fact that its merely the ESRB gives a US bias. The game's rating has already been noted in the information box at the top. - Zero1328 Talk? 00:24, 24 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
