The game sections of wikipedia articles need tons of help. However, I have been editing articles, and this is one of my accomplishments http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_(video_game)

I did the picture gallery, the system requirements, and the whole gameplay section.

nice.

but i didn't understand this sentence under 'Gameplay': "There is no option to play with more than 1 player on one console."

you might want to edit that. but then again, it may just be me. :|

I'm sorry to say that article wasn't greatly written. There were some grammar errors and it seemed to breif and like a 11 year old wrote it.

honestly I'd get yourself a GiantBomb account and do stuff there. The reason many of the game pages for wiki are so lite is because apparently wiki is not designed to ba a list of information that can be found elsewhere (so I found out anyway when trying to add things like patch list etc). Which I personally find silly.

Giantbomb is your friend, and it links series, characters together far more detail than wiki will ever do.

Wikipedia is nothing but stuff there can be found elsewhere. That is the whole point of the side, that it collects information from elsewhere and arrange it in one comprehendable article. If you have gotten something deleted there it might be because it was not needed to understand what the game was about.

that's probably why he thinks there were a lot of grammatical errors. :lol:

under the gameplay section, i've noticed a few places where commas could have come in handy, but otherwise (besides some awkward phrasing) i thought it was fine.

Well I'd have to agree with him. But if you didn't write the entire article, what did you write? It's very short as it is.

While that's great work (and I did look at it :P), it doesn't really belong on the forums, you're more then welcome to make a blog post about it :).
