The English one are very good : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D._(video_game) but where are the German one? http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D. was deleted in 2011Can anybody create a the article?

fcxSanya Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Please do not create it, since 0 A.D. doesn't meet German Wikipedia notability rules. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D. is even protected from creation due to repeating recreation.See the previous discussion here.

Even the tone of some comments is quite insulting.382295 downloads between July 2010 and now only on sourceforge (not counting all the installations via package management on Linux and downloads from other sources) confutes both the argument that it's unreleased and that it's not widespread enough.

Deiz Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Generally speaking, the various Wikipedia projects tend to have an inherent bias against free, open-source software. Their sourcing policies are stuck in the pre-Internet era, focusing heavily on professionally-edited publications that are rare in the FOSS niche (particularly when it comes to games).The German Wikipedia is reputed to be the worst of the lot when it comes to notability, so it's unsurprising that 0 A.D.'s article was deleted. As far as I know, the project was taken over by deletionists a few years ago and they've been on a heavy-handed rampage ever since (note the huge swath of Linux distributions also up for deletion on that same archive page). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricius Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 http://de.wikipedia....el.C3.B6scht.29That discussion doesn't seem to be very objective. Even the tone of some comments is quite insulting.382295 downloads between July 2010 and now only on sourceforge (not counting all the installations via package management on Linux and downloads from other sources) confutes both the argument that it's unreleased and that it's not widespread enough.The English one seems to work on the basis that something minor, that is not an ad, will be notable to someone. I think they are setting themselves up for irrelevance if they have a prejudice against things Open Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcxSanya Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Create protection was removed (discussion) and article was restored from the draft of de-wiki user Deadlyhappen. So de-wiki 0 A.D. article now exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeXoR Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Good! I was a bit confudes about the block due to "not enough relevance". Would like to know what kind of person did that... a general game hater, a person who distrusts open source or fighting for programmers able to earn their life with "professional" (whatever that would mean) programs? For myself I can't find a good reason but didn't have any problem with the German Wikipedia in the past as well.Well, glad the article is there now.

historic_bruno Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Great news! It looks like the argument was made that whether we call the game "Alpha" or not is irrelevant and can't be used to justify deleting the article, if 0 A.D. is noteworthy enough for an encyclopedia, and they feel it is Thanks to all who participated in the discussion and got the article restored.
