Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Cloud9. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20141231210245/http://news.esea.net/csgo/index.php?s=news&d=comments&id=14319 to http://news.esea.net/csgo/index.php?s=news&d=comments&id=14319

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

Rosters too large

Is it good for readability to have such large rosters, where the main team is not readily apparent (at least for LoL) and including information such as age (that needs to be updated regularly) role (which is just gibberish to non-players) and end of contract. Pages of other major teams such as TL, EG or VP only include the main team and (imo) relevant information. --Chaosquo (talk) 15:38, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tone/Fan POV/MOS issues

The written content in this article suffers from tone and fan POV issues, and requires a copy-edit. Content should be written in a professional and concise manner, and exclude commentary, predictions, and judgement by fans. Analysts' perspectives are fine as long as they are reliably sourced.

Wikipedia is also not a directory, and should not include all information regarding Cloud9's players and staff. Persons should only be included where relevant; for example: If there is a section dedicated to the League of Legends team, the inclusion of a wikitable with the current roster is appropriate and preferred. However, there is no need to include a wikitable dedicated to all of Cloud9's management and working staff when a person looking for that information can find it by visiting Cloud9's own website. This is counter-intuitive to what Wikipedia is; it is an online encyclopedia, not a directory or information dump. CentreLeftRight ✉ 02:26, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting League of Legends section

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to split. Pbrks (talk) 17:21, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the League of Legends section should be split to a new page with the title Cloud9 League of Legends division. At the time of writing this, the Cloud9 page is just over 90kB (with 50kB alone in the LoL history section), which meets the size split "rule of thumb". I'm currently working on rewriting/expanding the entire history section of the LoL division, so the article size will likely only get longer, and the LoL division certainly is notable enough to be a stand-alone article.

Support – as nom. Pbrks (talk) 04:44, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support- I support this split, the LOL section is definitely way too long and definitely deserves an stand-alone article for the notability they have.-Warm Regards--Abhay Esports Talk To Me 21:28, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated League of Legends History

The 2021 history is not present, and the squads are outdated. I hope someone more experienced than me about LoL eSports can fix it. Thanks! Kwafsdnva (talk) 23:40, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kwafsdnva: I believe the roster is current, and the 2021 Spring split is still underway. Pbrks (talk) 00:14, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry, my bad then :) Kwafsdnva (talk) 01:09, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Archive really necessary?

Is an archive really necessary at this point? Per User:MiszaBot/config: Before setting up automatic archiving on an article's talk page, please establish a consensus that archiving is really needed there. As such, I'm removing the template until there is a consensus. There's barely anything on this talk page, and having a bot scan this page seems like a waste of resources atm.
