edit Hello, I'm Soetermans. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 10:59, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, "they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia" is very unclear to me, please help to explain it explicitly. For "Caesar III" topic, a computer game in 1998, about 25 years ago, it has many limitations, those two open source projects which I have mentioned, just extend and help the game to be played in many scopes, which was not supported by the original game/producer/publisher. --Liang Liangqi (talk) 12:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Lianqqi, the article on Caesar III doesn't necessarily should need external links like github pages. Wikipedia is written for the general reader and any external links should point readers to more additional sources of information, like an official website, perhaps a MobyGames page or an in-depth review. But Linking to a github open source implementation is only of interest to a very small group of people, who not only own the game but also are tech savvy enough to run the game. It isn't needed. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:29, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, Soetermans, are you a player of that game? Do you know which Windows version was it at 25 years ago? How big the window of the game is it? And could you run the game on latest PC? and etc. Just like is there anyone really prefer to watch a real VCD(352×240) window on a 4k or 8k screen nowadays?
- Those open source implementations are best replacement, they have binaries which support latest Windows/macOS/Linux and etc, perhaps there are some attempts on Android and iOS too. And one of them is also growing with new features which original game doesn't have.
- Other than the GitHub project links, I will don't have time to find out an article in other common game media. Those GitHub projects are still alive. --Liang Liangqi (talk) 10:33, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- System requirements have been deprecated ages ago, and those aren't listed. Wikipedia is written for a general reader audience and not for people remotely familiar with video games, let alone a very specific one. And for people who are interested in trying to run an old game on modern platforms and software, the internet's a big place. We do not have to point to those kind of websites. Similarly, we don't link to websites that list cheatcodes or gameguides. I am not a player of Caesar III, no. But if I were, I wouldn't use Wikipedia as pitstop to go to github. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 10:39, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Those two GitHub projects are neither cheat code nor game guides, they are new life of Caesar III, perhaps it should have an Evolution section somewhere.
- Please mention Wikipedia doesn't like GitHub links, and is it from your opinion or Wikipedia's? --Liang Liangqi (talk) 12:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- No, I am saying the particular article in question does not need those links. If you're interested in video game articles, see WP:VG/MOS for an overview of what makes a good video game article. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 13:06, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
