Talk:Torque MMO Kit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page isn't planned as advertising for a company, product, group, service or person. It was written to be an additional information to the already existing pages of the Torque Game Engine and Minions of Mirth. If some words or parts have to be changed or seem to be inadequate please tell me, what has to be changed. Thank you. Bakakans (talk) 21:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
To be fair, TMMOKit falls into the exact same category as MOO and Realmcrafter, both of which have extensive and uncontested wikipedia entries. It's an opensource project which allows users to create virtual worlds, it shares much common ground with Realmcrafter, including a degree of shared user base. The TMMOKit 1.0 stable release was announced yesterday, marking a shift from unstable development versions to a stable, production ready game development kit.
Admittedly the origins of the kit lie with Praire Games, a commercial games developer, but they have released it to the community under an opensource license and all the current development has been carried out free of charge by community members. There's no commercial product or company being advertised here whatsoever. Do some background reading before leaping to assumptions, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.195.171 (talk) 21:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
With some additionally thought, perhaps the number of repetitions of "Torque MMO Kit" within the article could be reduced. The links provided (Garage Games, Praire Games, Minions of Mirth) represent additional resources, reference material and support directly related to the development of the kit. They are, however, not directly affiliated with the kit itself nor involved in its current development.
Excuse any formatting ignorance, not familiar with any appriopriate etiquette of this medium. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.195.171 (talk) 21:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
The wording of the actual document could be better phrased, more informational and less sensational, perhaps. The fact remains, however, that Wikipedia routinely documents commercial products, including several products which are very much comparable to this one. This is a nonprofit, open source initiative, as well, so it seems unreasonable to assume that the purpose of the posting was to create advertising instead of to provide information.--KOMclaughlin (talk) 22:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Did some rework on the article taking the above comments into consideration to improve the article, take out as much redundancy as possible and to avoid any advertising. Any left over wording issues should be reviewed by a native speaker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Latentix (talk • contribs) 09:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
