Revision as of 13:55, 18 March 2010
This article seems to be trying ton condense the old starting build, starting build design and challenge articles - and is losing a lot of info in the process for no gain. And tossing info out the window is not a good plan. Reworking the old Starting Build into "core" and "extra" info might be worthwhile, but I see this as a "Starting Build Lite" article. --Albedo 20:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- As has been stated on the other 23a article talk pages, this is all just a direct copy from the original wiki and is only meant to be a starting point - once everything is actually in Wiki markup, then people can go about cleaning things up for those who still want to play the old version. --Quietust 23:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- This is not a direct copy of starting build - nothing like. Where did you find this? Have a link?--Albedo 00:47, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
