i was browsing the wikipedia's Freespace section and felt it needed some more info.

right now i'm too proud of myself sop i can't keep this to myself. XD

here. :D

[EDIT] and before any of you say anything, the reason i branched out to the 3rd mission after the 2nd was so no one goes 'wtf happened next?' when they read about the 2nd mission. (AND i had to explain the unmarked Orion and unidentified fighters, so, bleh to you.. er... what's the word... meh...)

That was great, I like reading that kind of stuff :D

because the person that posted the reason it should be deleted thinks that that comes out of the manual, and that i did not say that it deals with Descent Freespace. (HELLO?! the manual makes no mention for this, let alone that there is no model for Silent Threat, and it's posted in the Freespace section, so this guy does not have his facts straight.)

I have played ST many times, but what's the point of this entry? It's not even clear that it's about Freespace and the title makes little sense, sounds like a news headline or something. This should really go in the existing article on FS.

That's fine, the original article didnt belong on the wikipedia.
actualy, mabye not.
"When ink and pen in hands of men Inscribe your form, bipedal P They draw an altar on which God has slaughtered all stability, no eyes could ever soak in all the places you anoint, and yet to see you all at once we only need the point.

You only wrote the last part of that, right? Since it still doesn't make sense; that stuff at the end has no connection to the GTVA and goes into needless detail on minor mission events. The GTVA wasn't formed until 2345 and ST takes place long before that. What are you trying to do here? :wtf:

This makes less sense than ST did in the first place....

Sorry Cobra, I think I speak for everyone when I say that this is an embarassment to the FreeSpace Community.

I applaud the initiative but, this definitely rates a :wtf:

The second article is... ok...

This article has nothing to do with the GTVA, since it is a matter that occured before the formation of the GTVA, when the GTI rebellion occured in accordance with the GTA.

The article is also an abysmal failure at sentence construction, as well as syntax.

What the hell are you trying to do?

Someone delete this please.

I was thinking when I read this thread that Cobra wasn't the best one for this...Cobra, the Wikipedia is a place to use as a factual reference - not a storyteller's forum.

No offense, Cobra, but your contribution doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the GTVA article, which is well-written and well-worded.  I'd advise you to ditch it, since, as others said, it really has nothing to do with the GTVA.
