Sourcing

Hi CallumMousehold,

Welcome to Wikipedia, have you checked out the guide lines yet? Anyway, the reason why I'm stopping by is that I had to revert your edit to the article on Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. You see, on Wikipedia any claim has to have a valid source. You didn't add one to the article, so when I googled it I didn't find any direct answer. Perhaps you can add a valid source, maybe a magazine? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy editing and kind regards, --Soetermans. T / C 10:02, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, me again,

I'm afraid all of your edits were about OnLive, not a single one with a source. The fact that your only aim is to add OnLive to articles might come off as a conflict of interest... Check the guide lines first, I urge you. --Soetermans. T / C 10:05, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Source Issues

As for my source issues, it is hard to find outside sources to verify the release on those consoles since at this time most publishers are looking at OnLive as the same as PC. When in reality it is more of a Platform than Steam is (due to the microconsole and elimination of worrying about system specifics).

The OnLive client shows the games as "coming soon" and this is usually their only place for announcements. However there are sites just as reputable as some of the ones I've seen used for other consoles, such as: http://onliveinformer.com/homefront-developer-diary-fight-for-freedom/

Would this be considered an acceptable source? As for the COI issue, I don't see it as that. I noticed that a lot of games had Steam as a release platform and wanted to inform people that there is a new service out that is releasing these games as well.

Hi CallumMousehold,

Thanks for your quick reply. I am familiar with OnLive and I'm quite interested in the changes cloud gaming will bring to the video game industry. However, I'm not sure what Wikipedia's community's thoughts regarding OnLive are, let alone that website you suggested. To try to get a consensus, I'll start a new discussion on the video game work group. Right now my laptop's sorta crashing, so I'll have to do it later.

Thanks, and happy editing! I'll let you know when I'm for the challenge :) Or, be bold! --Soetermans. T / C 20:26, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Luckily my laptop didn't crash and I'm still here! I've started a new discussion regarding OnLive here. Join me, will you? Thanks. --Soetermans. T / C 20:40, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
