Please refrain from spamming Wikipedia articles, like you did repeatedly to several articles so far. Thanks. --Soetermans | drop me a line | what I'd do now? 16:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
RPGSite Scores edit
I would like to know how adding www.rpgsite.net reviews to video game reception tables is spam.
RPGSite receives an average of 600,000 unique hits per month and interviews actors such as Mark Meer (aka the male Commander Shepard in the hit Mass Effect series) and developers such as Motomu Toriyama and Yoshinori Kitase, the director and producer of Final Fantasy XIII.
On what grounds are we not allowed to add nothing more than a review score to Wikipedia articles?
Edited to add that 1) we're a GameRankings site, 2) we're being accepted to Metacritic, and 3) for two months running we have in fact received over a million unique hits.

- Well, it is consider spamming because:
- 1) your only article edits were adding review scores by a single website, which makes it a possible conflict of interest (and the fact that you are referring www.rpgsite.net as 'we' doesn't help either...)
- 2) I'm not familiar with www.rpgsite.net, but if I have to guess, it mainly revolves around role-playing games. Well-established websites such as IGN, GameSpot, 1UP.com, or Eurogamer are websites that scope a whole range of video games, not only RPGs. On Wikipedia, we prefer a more 'neutral' source before a 'specialised' source (just as a mainstream source like The New York Times is preferred before a video game source).
- 3) Just adding a score doesn't add anything to an article. --Soetermans | drop me a line | what I'd do now? 20:15, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
