Can somebody change the first paragraph?[edit]
[edit]I'd like the first paragraph to be changed to
Minecraft is a sandbox video game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by Mojang. The creative and building aspects of Minecraft enable players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat. Multiple gameplay modes are available, including survival mode where the player must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health, a creative mode where players have unlimited resources to build with and the ability to fly, an adventure mode where players can play custom maps created by other players, and a spectator mode where players can fly around and clip through blocks, but cannot place or destroy any. The players can join multiplayer servers, which are often customized using plug-ins. Some of these servers are more PVP orientated, some involve aspects of Survival, Creative and Adventure mode, some have a built in economy, and some of them contain built in mini games. The PC version of the game is renowned for its third-party mods, which can add, but are not limited to adding, various new items, characters, worlds, and quests to the game.
In case I need to source the information, here's a link to my source. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Server An awsome person (talk) 22:40, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- It's too wordy for an introduction to the game. Half of these concepts make no sense to somebody new to gaming, and most of this is just a worse way of stating the same info. Also an external wiki can never be used as a source. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 23:02, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
And it was sold to Microsoft recently for over $2,000,000,000 or $2 billion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.106.7.235 (talk) 16:41, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
- That wasn't recently and that's already included and sourced. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK

- Not done: It's there because there is a specific UWP edition that is different from the main line game. -- ferret (talk) 01:55, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Is this the way we should handle W10 exclusive games now? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 02:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Since there is a completely separate edition for UWP, I believe so for this article. There's the normal Java based PC version for Windows, then the additional separate UWP version. -- ferret (talk) 11:14, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Makes sense. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 20:00, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

The TLD field in the infobox currently just shows ".ie". Should ".uk" be added (possibly with a footnote) or should the field just be removed? It seems a bit strange to have, why not also "drives on the..." and the rest of the specifics you get in a country infobox? --Inops (talk) 15:02, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- As this is not a country article it would be better to remove the TLD unless it has been allocated to the island. For the same reason it is not a country article the drives on x side is not needed. MilborneOne (talk) 15:54, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- TLD removed. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 16:08, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- The status of .ie is a bit unclear as it was allocated to the island rather than the country and though the Irish government has enacted a law to control .ie it has never actually done anything about it. I agree with the removal from this article though, it is better left out of a geographical article. Funny things happened when the TLD's were first being set up, Great Britain was going to be .gb but of course they used .uk to stand for the country instead. Dmcq (talk) 19:11, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- As opposed to their Olympic sports team, which is GB. Isn't .ie administered by IEDR in UCD, though? Didn't know it was geographical rather than state-based.BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 19:44, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- I would say unclear rather than specifically geographical. It was set up originally as geographical and that has proven useful with people in Northern Ireland who wish to use the domain. What is the 'though' about? Dmcq (talk) 19:53, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Just that I'd have assumed that if it was geographical, but crossed state lines, that Queens or similar would have gotten to "share" responsibility for it.BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 20:40, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- That's assuming a political basis. This was before the first web browser, people used to route by putting in numbers for each step. It was something research institutions with interested individuals did. Dmcq (talk) 21:11, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Just a question: how relevant is the TLD for this article? The Banner talk 21:27, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Well nobody here including me seems to be in favour of including anything about TLD. It doesn't sound like you have a reason for including it either. Dmcq (talk) 21:33, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
Counting "legal jurisdictions"[edit]
[edit]A quote from the Northern Ireland section: "Along with England, Wales and Scotland, Northern Ireland forms one of the three separate legal jurisdictions of the UK". A previous talk paragraph above also addresses this, but unfortunately confusion still reigns. Every county and civil parish is a "legal jurisdiction"! What about "four countries" or "four nations"? 2602:304:CDA6:51B0:E1:DF31:5B44:7E0A (talk) 22:04, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- I believe Wales and England are a single "legal jurisdiction" in that they share all the same laws whereas Northern Ireland and Scotland have partially separate legal systems.Canterbury Tail talk 22:39, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- I think they are asking why we aren't also stating that Northern Ireland is one of four countries of the UK, which is more significant. This is probably because some don't like to describe Northern Ireland as a country. But it should be mentioned in some way. Rob984 (talk) 23:40, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- In the context it is used here saying they all share a supreme court it seems fine to me. Dmcq (talk) 00:21, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

The arts section[edit]
[edit]There seems to be a bit of a problem here with chronology. This article is supposed to be on the Republic (509-27 BC), but the author mentions writers such as Juvenal and Persius, who wrote later.
The Marble head[edit]
[edit]looks like a selfie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.9.35 (talk) 00:09, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
What do Roman Republican governors of Gallia have to do with the Gallic invasion of Italia?[edit]
[edit]This invasion occured centuries before the Romans created a province in Gallia Transalpina. 96.231.17.143 (talk) 02:10, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I understand your question. A provincia was at first an assignment or mission within which a commander or magistrate was authorized to act, not a territory in our sense of the word "province". A proconsul might receive as his assignment the provincia of conducting a war in Gallic territories of northern Italy. Gallia included Cisalpine Gaul. If you mean specifically the article Roman Republican governors of Gaul, then you should read the article to see what its relevance is. But the introduction might answer your question. Cynwolfe (talk) 11:12, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Education and Language[edit]
[edit]I noticed that the Education and Language section somewhat meanders off topic. At one point it begins talking about how Vulgar Latin gradually transformed into the Romance languages, and then tacks on an explanation on the origin of English. While all of this is interesting, I'm not sure if it fits within the scope of the article. Didn't the romance languages not come along until after the fall of the empire? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.65.68.161 (talk) 06:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Plebeian Council vs Plebeian tribunal[edit]
[edit]I see references to these two things that look suspiciously like they're talking about the same body. Can someone clarify this please? Fresheneesz (talk) 09:17, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Not sure where you're reading "Plebeian Tribunal" in this article; there's "Tribunate", of course (many times over), meaning the appointment or office of "Tribune" as elected representative of the Plebeian Council. Haploidavey (talk) 11:10, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, can you provide a link? There's no such thing as the plebeian tribunal. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 17:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Suggestion: Re-write[edit]
[edit]Like a lot of articles on the Roman state, this one could use a good overhaul. Even if only the intro were redone, that would be a great help. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 17:14, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
