Toontown Online

Hey there, fellow wiki editor,

In order to avoid an edit war, I would like to discuss the section you've added to Toontown Online. I do not think that fan sites such as "Toonbook" or others deserve an entire section on an article that is about the game itself. Secondly, you haven't included any independent sources which report on the information you've added. (The site itself and interviews are not considered independent sources). This also goes for the section "Toontown Rewritten" which has been added to the article one too many times in the past. Other than in a "Reception" section which may include that a "loyal fanbase" has created fan websites due to the closure of the game, with proper sources included, in my opinion fan sites and illegal private servers should not be included in this article. If you refer to any other proper game article, it is highly unlikely that you would find any distinct mentioning of fan created websites. Otherwise, we would have to list every major/minor private server and fan website that was created about any game. I'd love to hear any of your ideas of thoughts about this. I've specifically contacted you as many of the editors adding unsourced and irrelevant information do not have accounts and are unlikely to see my message. Also please refer to the talk page of Toontown Rewritten, you can find other ways to help out Toontown Online as it directs to a link with a peer review.

On Toontown Rewritten

Hey Coffeetip. As a Wikipedian who follows the Toontown Online article and avid TTR player, I don't recommend continuing to make Draft:Toontown Rewritten with the intention of making it a full article. TTRs doesn't meet the notability criteria because there aren't enough third party sources to support it. If you can find more than the one Bloomberg article and link them here we could discuss whether it should go forward but if little has changed since then the article would likely go to WP:AfD quickly.

I am working on finding more references to the game on other websites. It will take some time. I have found an article posted by Smosh, briefly referencing TTR, and have added it to the page.

I noticed your post on reddit. I wouldn't consider that article by Smosh to be a reliable source - and as it stands the one article by Bloomberg isn't enough to establish notability. Is there a specific reason you feel TTR needs its own page? -NottNott|talk 18:35, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
