Video card

The game runs just fine on my GeForce 5900XT, so it doesn't need pixel shader 2. Video card listing is inaccurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.225.199 (talk) 16:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Cars update

At currently, I dont have cars list so please somebody list it up and edit this page to create more useful information

• • • I added the car list, could somebody please format and fix my grammar? thanks

I don't think that Coming Soon footnotes belong as references. --TatharNuar 04:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Grammar Errors

Someone please make this at least legible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.177.182 (talk) 23:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I did what I could.

Forgot I cleared my cookies. --TatharNuar 01:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Edits

I have taken the liberty of re-doing the entire page. I hope it was helpful. --shade11 | (Talk • contribs) 02:38, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much because i dont have time edit this page due to high school works —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dacnien (talk • contribs) 17:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Now we just need all instances of "mitos" replaced with Mito. It's the same in singular and plural form. --TatharNuar 01:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Done.81.110.254.233 15:41, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Dclogo.gif

Image:Dclogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Someone handled this already. --TatharNuar 02:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

cars

i think they are still updating the cars, i love this game and i am lvl 51 <333 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.211.184.198 (talk) 18:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they are. NHN is adding new cars all the time. --TatharNuar 02:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I have updated the Cars listing with some Skid Rush vehicles that were missed, plus the new releases. --81.110.254.233 15:53, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that the Coming Soon footnotes belong with the references. --TatharNuar 04:37, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Currency

I want to move the information on Mito to another heading, but I don't know where to move it to. Any ideas? --TatharNuar 01:18, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I found a place for it. Done. --TatharNuar 04:38, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Real world Car Types

Would it be appropriate to link the car types in the Table to their real world counterparts? --81.110.254.233 15:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

It would be original research at best. You'd have a very hard time proving verifiability, and as there really aren't any sources cited for this article, it could end up being removed as WP:OR easily. --TatharNuar 23:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Except for the ones that are explictly named ie Dodge Viper. 81.110.245.215 (talk) 17:11, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

And except for Panda, which was stated by a GM to be the Toyota AE86 Trueno. Found the post it was on. The post doesn't mention that it's the Trueno, so that part would probably be either WP:OR or from an unreliable source. [1] --TatharNuar (talk) 20:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

A reminder to all editors

Read WP:OR, WP:RS, WP:SPS, and WP:CITE before making any edits claiming what a car's real name is. These claims are likely to be challenged and therefore must be supported by a reliable source. This source must be properly cited per WP:CITE. --TatharNuar (talk) 00:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The matter has been already resolved looong time ago and you are pretty much outdated. Please investigate ijji forum for more information (e.g. http://forums.ijji.com/showthread.php?t=96757). I will now correct some awful mistakes on the list.

I'm aware of that list. Although it is published, it is a weak source because it is largely based upon speculation. Since the difference between two car models can often be so minimal that one can be mistaken for the other, a single unofficial source does not appear to satisfy WP:RS to me. Also, please remember to sign your comments. I really don't know who I'm talking to. --TatharNuar (talk) 00:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Some poeple Don't seem to get the message, I've removed three lots of OR from the List today. 82.22.144.78 (talk) 19:49, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the last one you reverted had a source mentioned in the edit summary. Although, it's not a proper citation, a revert was not necessary. I've asked the contributor to review WP:CITE to properly source the addition. Multiple sources saying the same thing would be a good idea since we're dealing with unofficial, self-published sources. I'd suggest adding a citation needed tag to each car name without a cited source. --TatharNuar (talk) 21:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Sega?

Two anonymous editors added references to Sega as distributor and publisher. I have not seen any information outside of this article to suggest that Sega has any involvement with the game. If I am in error by removing these references, please add sources. --TatharNuar 17:48, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Sega has made it back as the distributor. Who keep doing this? 81.110.245.215 (talk) 17:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to know what source thinks Sega is the distributor. Dealing with anonymous editors regarding the matter is a bit difficult, so maybe getting the source's information correct would be a better option. --TatharNuar (talk) 20:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Live service?

After reading [2], the thread seems to be written in a manner refering that the game is in live service. Should we change it to be official? It seems they have skipped Open Beta, as other ijji games that had an Open Beta declared so on an image on the game page. ~Ambrosia- ^talk 02:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

They didn't skip open beta, but it is now in live service. --TatharNuar (talk) 04:50, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

What was the date of live service? Because that post was made very shortly after the game supposedly entered OB. =X ~Ambrosia- ^talk 17:58, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Not really. That post was made after the game entered live service. It was in open beta months ago. I can't remember exact dates though. --TatharNuar (talk) 02:08, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I just took a look to see if they announced it somewhere, and the only mention of the word "live" in an announcement relating to the September 5th update that also brought the game into open beta. Even if we could put a date to it, there'd be no way of verifying it. All we can do it say that it's currently in live service but wasn't on September 5th. --TatharNuar (talk) 05:11, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Ambrosia's Revert?

Why did you remove the link from Panda in the latest anon edit? WP:OR? Because in one of the events, one of the prizes was an RC car of the AE86 and the GM that posted the event details on the forums mentioned that the Panda was the AE86. Otherwise, the link seems fitting. --TatharNuar (talk) 18:18, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Was unaware of that. If you're going to re-add it, a citation should be included. ~Ambrosia- ^talk 04:01, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Although that case wouldn't be OR, I can see how it would invite future links that would involve OR or information from third parties that would be little better than educated guesswork. Is that suitable per Wikipedia guidelines? I suppose verification would be possible by comparing the cars in question, but it's still a very weak form of verification since different car models can look very similar. I'd rather get consensus before I put the link back. --TatharNuar (talk) 20:03, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I added the link and reference in the meantime so I wouldn't misplace the post link. [3] --TatharNuar (talk) 20:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

You reverted the edit I made that put the reference back in again. It seems to have been a mistake, so if it was, please redo it for me. --TatharNuar (talk) 08:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Broken Cars Table

I don't know what the in-game names for the cars that broke the table, so I'd have difficulty at best fixing it.

There I go forgetting to use my sig. Blame being awake for the entirety of 33 minutes.

OK, when did I clear my cookies again? --TatharNuar (talk) 14:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Fansites

Please be sure that fansites are not included under "External Links." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shade11sayshello (talk • contribs) 18:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether it was a fansite or a site that hosts a Brazilian version of the game. --TatharNuar (talk) 02:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe major fanistes are allowed (especially if they offer additional information) per the manual of style. Might be wrong though. --TatharNuar (talk) 19:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

There aren't any brazilian or european versions of the game yet. 14:42, March 24 2008 (Brazilian time) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.207.144.53 (talk) 17:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that makes it a bit simpler. On to a similar question, I'm aware of a Japanese version hosted by Arario, but is there another one hosted by NHN or another company? --TatharNuar (talk) 00:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

A call to source

The recent nomination for deletion raises a point. This article needs to have reliable sources and external links to notable third-party sites that have significant mentions of the game. I'm going to begin by going through Google's news archives and adding external links and sources and letting others sort through what citations actually need to be cited. Use this as a start. --TatharNuar (talk) 07:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I just found a template to help discourage the recent lists of unencyclopedic content on this article like the ones I reverted earlier today. If anyone spots any more sections that belong in a game guide, please add {{Copy to gaming wiki}} to the top of the section. --TatharNuar (talk) 09:41, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I just did some source-hunting and found 7 links that could be used as sources. I've added them to the external links section as they haven't been cited yet. Enjoy. --TatharNuar (talk) 18:03, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to make intermediate edits if doing so will help the article become well-sourced. Per WP:IMPERFECT and WP:INSPECTOR, even if your intermediate version would create an assumption that the subject is not notable (as is common whenever a passerby is unfamiliar with a subject) the article should survive AfD. Of course, since I added 7 new external links today, it probably won't be nominated for deletion on a notability basis anyway. --TatharNuar (talk) 02:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

To the person who removed the external links again, please don't remove them again without converting them to in-line references. This article was nominated for deletion on grounds of notability, and those links continue to be necessary to show notability. While in-line references are indeed preferred, until someone takes the time to convert the links to references, the links must remain as external links to prevent another nomination for deletion. --Tathar (talk) 21:51, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Added Template:Gameguide

I have added Template:Gameguide because of the editors that seem to think that Wikipedia is a place to add game guide information. I would like to instruct editors seeking to add game guide information to do so in the StrategyWiki guide listed in External Links as it is the appropriate place to include such information. --Tathar (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
