From your email:
<blockquote>I just expanded the Left 4 Dead 2 article on Valve Developer Community with information on the L4D1/L4D2 controversy and delayed demo. You wrote that it wasn't suitable to have on VDC, but I'm not really sure I'm following you there. As I wrote at [[Talk:Left 4 Dead 2|the discussion page]], VDC is meant to contain all data relevant to modding and researching Valve, Steam and Source. I don't see how leaving out controversy that affects both developers and players in such remarkable ways is a benefit for the common developer and fan. Thus, I'd be happy if you'd let me know why exactly my contribution is inappropriate, and it should be up for debate.
 
No hard feelings.</blockquote>
 
My reasoning is:
 
# The delay no longer affects a single person on the planet. It's in the past.
# Neither the one-day delay of the demo nor the fact that the game is a sequel is relevant in any way to developing for it.
# [[Left 4 Dead 2]] has received 1,673 page views over its entire life. [[Wikipedia:Left 4 Dead 2]] yesterday received [http://stats.grok.se/en/200910/Left%204%20Dead%202 15,000 views in one day].
 
I'm not against people knowing about these issues, I just don't want the pages of this site to become redundant and unloved duplicates of Wikipedia. Frankly I'd like to see ''every'' game page on VDC turned into a redirect there. --[[user:TomEdwards|TomEdwards]] 11:12, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
