[edit] Slow down!
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you should consider creating a smaller number of articles. A bunch of very short articles aren't as good as one longer one. The article Magnet Hill is a good example- this is really specific and not very encyclopedic. How about making adding to the article on Earthbound instead? Friday (talk) 03:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well, ok, but if you're going to merge them, why create them seperately? This may be a case of way too much detail for the topic at hand. We're not a howto or cheat guide, we don't need seperate articles on every location in every video game. I'd suggest putting content into main articles until such a time as it's too long, and then considering splitting it out. Friday (talk) 03:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, and thanks for being understanding. I can understand how people create a bunch of links - sometimes too many. Maybe the best way to approach it is to describe the plotlines of the game in the main article? The different places in Eagleland could be described in that article rather than being seperate. I noticed a couple of the new articles while looking at new pages, and they were so specific that I had no idea what they were about. It would have been better for me as an unfamiliar reader to have been directed to a longer article with more context. Anyway, good luck, and hope this helps.
