What Wikipedia is not:
Useful.
A place where I would feel welcome.
And if I forget, I have to read this text I wrote the other day to a moderator:
Well, I guess you really are not trying to be mean, however
you have confirmed that the impression I was having lately about Wikipedia is
true. You may think you were helping me; however it was me trying to help
Wikipedia. I really don’t care if there is an article about that company
written here, chance (and curiosity) got me into looking for information about
that company, and when I found there was no article about it on Wikipedia, I thought
it was foolish that two software products developed by this company where
notable enough to have their own articles, but the developer itself was not
(even though it is also referenced in nine more articles), and I wanted to help
at least writing a brief description of it. Right now both articles: Gunbound
and Rakion have a red link and no article that link them together. People
reading those articles will have to leave Wikipedia to find more information
about what other products were made by the same maker. It is obvious that
Wikipedia is changed; it is no longer the old Wikipedia from 2005 that
encouraged contribution for filling the gaps of all the red links. Now most
moderators in their noble effort to fight against spam, self-promotion and
inaccurate information have lost vision and common sense and are making their
own twisted interpretation of what is notable or what is a reliable source. I
didn’t contact the other moderator because I thought he may have his
reasons to distrust Gamespot and Neoseeker as sources (even though they are
online publications who specialize on the topic), so I wasted almost an hour of
my time before resubmitting looking for a more traditional source: a newspaper.
However let’s face it, an U.S. newspaper won’t cover an article
about a South Korean game developer that has no branches operating in the U.S.
unless there is a suicide or a mass murder involved in the story. My best
possibility to find a better reliable source was to find a South Korean
newspaper, and I had to rely on online translators to check that the facts of
the only sentence I wrote were truth (date of foundation, founder and some
products developed by them). Yet it seems that wasn’t good enough either.
So I realized it’s hopeless and the English Wikipedia is already beyond
salvation, hopefully a new alternative will come and will last some more years
until it gets spoiled too. However I don’t blame you for your actions, as
you are just another automaton that belong to the same twisted minded collective
that rule over Wikipedia, and you just act accordingly for fear of your peers
that will ban you if you show any sign of individual thinking. But since you
are in the helpful mood maybe I should point you to this list
[[List_of_south_korean_companies]] several of the companies listed there also
lack good sources, just be careful when deleting them you may delete the whole
Country by mistake. For now I will just check more frequently the Spanish
Wikipedia which looks less spoiled. Probably Softnyx will get its own article
the day it gets mentioned on a South Park episode, an XKCD comic or whatever
you guys are into these days…
