[edit] Too Biased

Too Biased —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 158.123.153.254 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Reduncancy

Having both competition and similar programs sections are redundant. I also agree that this article is too biased. CompIsMyRx 04:52, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

What about this article is biased? As someone who does not use any of the software referenced here, it looks fine to me. Strait 23:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uncited claims

In the "similar programs" section, I've moved all the expository text here due to lack of cites. See WP:NOR.

• Ventrilo is another program similar to TeamSpeak which is rising in popularity among first-person shooter players especially in the electronic sports scene and also among players of other computer game genres.
• Roger Wilco - while it is a major rival, it still has a much smaller user base than TeamSpeak.
• GameComm is the newest rival program to TeamSpeak, although currently in beta testing.

[edit] I'm going to add stuff

I'm not sure if this artical is on any ones watch list how ever if it is I'm going to add a sections on the client and server that will probably be over detailed. This is because I have to create or add to a wiki artical for a school project.

Thanks for the warning, but you should probably point your teacher to Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects if they have not already read it. Adding unencyclopedic information to an article is not a good assignment. Cheers, Neurophyre^(talk) 07:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the violation of some of the policies I was unaware of them. This is the first time I have made a significent wiki contribution. I mainly trying to add any significent detial since I have to find a way to make this article 5 pages long for the asignment.

Autonomous Operations 02:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

No offense, but nothing we are going to allow is going to be 5 pages. You are better off just making it on a sub-page of your user page. BJ^Talk 02:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I understand however as rediculus as this asignment is it makes up a large part of my grade. I was left with the choice between choosing to add a article I knew litle or nothing about or choosing one that I could at least add valid information to. Well I doubt most of my peers will even be able to come near 3 pages I feel I should apoligize for the 300-450 pages my class potentialy will submit to Wikipedia that will be sub par. Probably at 'most' this article will be 2 pages. I will try to keep it as factual as possible.

bjWeeks is not in control of anything nor he is allowed to state what "we" will allow. I would recommend that you organize your content and discuss the matter with a "real editor". If you need any help, just post here and I will do my best to guide you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.16.70.153 (talk • contribs) 21:42, November 28, 2006.

Sigh, now I'm getting trolled... Really, a 5 page article on a voice chat client without going to far into detail is not going to happen. BJ^Talk 04:46, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The problem here is a bad assignment. --Neurophyre^(talk) 17:38, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Free TeamSpeak Providers?

Why it was removed? I don't consider it as spam because if someone is unfamiliar with TeamSpeak and he checks the Wikipedia page, I doubt he would be annoyed by two links that provide free TeamSpeak servers. Besides, it's directly related to TeamSpeak - maybe someone will search for TeamSpeak providers and prices for that, so he'd check Wikipedia page for useful links and search engines could index this and help someone. Seriously, it's free, so it's no used to gain any sort of money, the sites don't have ads, so I really don't see any harm done. Please reconsider this as I've seen people paying for TS servers and they didn't even had a clue they can get for free. - 3FaST 09:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe it falls under the advertising category but you’d have to ask the person who removed it.Autonomous Operations 22:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's more of a External links add-on than advertising, but the person who removed it considered it was spam. But okay, I just thought free hosting is helpful. - 3FaST 08:05, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

See WP:NOT. Also, most search engines do not follow links from MediaWiki sites because the software marks all external links with the attribute -- something which spammers never seem to learn. --Neurophyre^(talk) 08:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

And many well known search spiders ignore , as well. 67.42.85.219 06:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GameComm

Why is this "software" listed under similar programs? The software does not exist, and neither does the web site. Supposedly, it's supposed to be out in 2007, but should something that does not yet exist and who's web site is currently dead even be listed? The listing should be removed.
