[edit] Gokrida

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out this article. Is it about some game? Is it about some group of gamers (which appears to be the case towards the end). Either way, it needs to go. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 10:36, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep - it's a MMORPG, not as huge as something like World Of Warcraft, but notable, nevertheless. I've updated the opening paragraph of the article to make this clear. --Oscarthecat 11:47, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

• Very, very weak keep. I think it may be notable enough to keep the article, but it definitely needs some cleaning up, verification, and the removal of much of the useless, non-notable information in there. -Rebelguys2 22:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep: Although GoKrida doesn't have as wide a user base as other MMORPGs, its mechanical and social systems are unique among this class of online games/sub-societies. The entry would benefit from some editing, making it more descriptive and less "how to."

Keep - It definitely needs improvement, but that's fixable and not really a reason for deletion. - Evyndd 03:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep: Pare it to a stub, encourae replacement with something descriptive, perhaps additional notating of the qualities that make this MMORPG different than others. The WurmOuroboros 04:18, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep: Much more information on the unique features and nuances should be added by participants of this program. An area of personal experiences of Gokridans should be created to give readers a true taste of GK.

KEEP! GoKrida, while it is an MMORPG, it is unique. I mean, how many other such games are linked tothe National Heritage Foundation? The game is a society simulator, and the complexity and beauty of it is in the fact that the players make the game within the boundaries of the GoKrida online universe. The players are working on making this page as WiKi acceptable as possible. One person just informed me he had learned how to edit Wiki just so he could work on this page.

Comment - A search of the NHF's website returned no matches for GoKrida [1]. GoKrida's website bills itself as "GoKrida, a National Heritage Foundation" [2], whatever that means. All Google results for the terms National Heritage Foundation and GoKrida return the same phrasing using the indefinite article [3]. I have been unable to find any connection to the National Heritage Foundation. -- Jonel | Speak 03:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
