[edit] Inclusion of unconfirmed material

In the interest of factual accuracy and the fact that this is an encylopedia and not a fan site, should we be including information that has not been confirmed by an actual source, say the developer or publisher? --Crossmr 00:29, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

That would reduce the content significantly, and although I'm all for that, most of the article would have to go, since GameSpot is not a 'reliable source' (per one of your edit summaries). I have little problem with deleting wikifying most of the page. ALTON .ıl 03:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] alignment

I like the alignment that was just done by Alton, here [1]. We should strive to keep it that way. Its much more readable.--Crossmr 00:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

The current guidelines for video game navboxes are being discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Navboxes_III:_Son_of_Navboxes. Contribute if you have an opinion about sectioning, style, etc.

As far as alignment goes, the current (although disputed) guidelines have alignment centered, and this is what I see as the general case for several similar navboxes. Honestly, there seems to be enough space between lists as to not cause any confusion. And the left alignment leaves a lot of whitespace on the right side. ♦^TH1RT3EN™ _{talk ♦ contribs} 02:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I really want to avoid confrontation with anyone about this minor issue, so go ahead and format it how you wish. I think we'd trust you with updating it according to their "guidelines" (but I think it looks GREAT as is). I have qualms about splitting the box up, however; which box would Sim and Simlish go in? ALTON .ıl 02:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I prefer sections to splitting as well. I changed it to the boxed sections to make up for the two lines used for The Sims 2. ♦^TH1RT3EN™ _{talk ♦ contribs} 02:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, ok, great great! ALTON .ıl 07:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EA Land/The Sims Online

Since the online game is now EA Land, and formerly The Sims Online, shouldn't the latter be the onw in parentheses? CatMan (talk) 20:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
