Plarium

Hello Musiyaka. The article was deleted because it was written in a style that strongly suggested it is being used to advertise the subject. Sentences like "played by more than 90 million players from 150 countries worldwide" are identical to those commonly used by marketing people.

Wikipedia has a problem with some people trying to create pages to raise the profile of the company they run/work for or are being paid to do so. These pages are typically created by new accounts who have no editing history. As such, when your first edits are to create a new article written in an advertising fashion, suspicions will naturally be aroused. I apologise if this is not what you are doing, but I hope you can see why it looks like it may be the case.

If you want to recreate the article, you need to have some evidence that the subject really is notable - i.e. references from mainstream media outlets. Number 5 7 12:54, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if you have such references (Reuters, Yahoo etc), it will definitely help. Try recreating the article in User:Musiyaka/sandbox, and let me know when you're happy with it, and I'll take a look. If you need the text from the old version, let me know. Cheers, Number 5 7 12:57, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Musiyaka. I'm afraid the article is still too promotional in nature - parts like "brought social hardcore strategies to a new level.", "enormous popularity" and "Along with rich 3D graphics, live voiceover became a trademark of Plarium games." amd "Plarium’s game unit models are widely acclaimed and received multiple awards from CGhub and render.ru,". In fact the article seems to be almost identical to the deleted one, but with a few more references. Number 5 7 23:59, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it still reads like it's a press release. I think you need to start again from scratch, because the current content is not acceptable. You should not be using any words such as "rich", "famous", "widely acclaimed", "new level", "success", "popular" etc. Number 57 12:52, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for the delay. I will have a look at it tomorrow - I think it still needs some work. Cheers, Number 57 21:12, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Apologies again for the delay. I have reread the article, and concluded it needed starting again. I've completely rewritten it, taking out quite a lot of the content. I'm quite surprised that such popular games do not already have articles on Wikipedia, which makes me a little suspicious. Number 57 22:21, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Sorry, perhaps suspicious was the wrong word. It just seems a little odd that a platform with more than 70 million users is barely mentioned in the mainstream media. I don't consider your changes to the article to be an improvement - they still read like someone attempting to promote the company. Why did you remove some of the games from the list? The Game Insight article is awful, and was actually written by someone from the company. Thanks for pointing it out though - I have cut it down a lot. Number 5 7 13:34, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
