WikiProject Paintball News edit
  • The term "paintball gun" is no longer to be used in any article: please change this wherever you see it! We must use the term paintball marker at all times from here on out. Keep up the good work. RavenStorm, Lead Coordinator
  • It has been strongly suggested by fellow member Three ways round that we add references and sources to our articles and make this our priority for now, as expansion and addition of articles has been slow of late. Go find an unsourced article and get some good references! Together we can make the WikiProject Paintball more authentic and encyclopedic. RavenStorm, Lead Coordinator
Category News edit
  • The player positions pages have been renamed according to game type to be more accurate.
  • Two more subcategories have been created: Woodsball, and Speedball. If any new pages are created that are related to these, please use their respective category tags instead of [[Category:Paintball]]. Thanks!
Priority Tasks edit
1. Find sources for all articles to remove original research issues. Resist the urge to simply enter new information based on your own playing experience (this applies especially to strategy and role based articles).
2. Pages about paintball markers, unless very notable and well sourced, should be either merged back into the main company's page - or a page detailing the company's series of products. Having a single page for each marker model is too unwieldly and yields a lot of stubs.
3. Top priority articles should reach at least C class.

Kingman Group

edit

Hey i checked out your kingman group page and it's looking pretty good. I was expecting a small stub, but was very pleasently suprised with how far along it's gotten. Good Work!:D

For ways to improve it. I only had three area's to improve that jumped out at me.

the first was the different markers/equipment. Everything there is very good, especially near the beginning, but as you get on into the spyder products there isn't much info on them. Just a short paragraph, instead of a few sentances, check out the Tippmann page for a basic outline for the marker overview. (but hopefully when it's done it will look better than the Tippmann page). Also i would check and see which markers have pages for themselves i think ravenstorm made a page for a couple of the spyders, and then the paragraph is a bit easier just follow that basic format, and provide a main page link.

The second would be to provide a bit of information about the company itself, and not just it's products. It might be a bit hard but it improves the overall article quite a bit. Just some information; when it was created, who by, (those two i think are in the page but just in the intro), why was it created, what was their first product, what was there biggest success story, some stuff about their growth. Just that kinda stuff

The last is kinda broad but just some more refrences and inline citations. i don't know of one article in category paintball that has enough refrences, but it's important enough to warrent mentioning.

It may seem like quite a bit of work, and it probibly is, but not as much as you would think. And i'm not trying to be overly-critical, like i already said it's looking really good so far, these are just the things it needs to be bumped up to Good, and Featured article quality. anyway anytime you need any help or anything just shout out on my talk page like you did, and keep up the good Work ! :D

Speedy deletion nomination of Kingman Group

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kingman Group, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
