Wikipedia Encyclopedia Review

When we need research, what do we do? We mostly look for info on Wikipedia online, but what turned out to be an innocent and helpful act for others turned out to be an attack on me. 

What happened?

Last year, I registered under a name I made up called "Legacy 1" and under "City of Heroes" I posted under the "discussion" tab info I was told about "Time cards" from the game stores. To make absolute sure, I personally contacted the game's support "PlayNC" and was told there was. So I added that info to the "Wikipedia discussion" page with the intention of adding the info on this subject for others, but according to "QuasiAbstract" and "Oni Ookami Alfador" they wouldn't accept my findings without "a link to a permanent website." I had proof by email but I wasn't going to give them my personal info to log into my account (in the game) to view it. This led me to believe that "moderators" of Wikipedia particularily these two have abused their authority and took it out on me. Talk about injustice!

At one point I tried to delete (several times) what I posted and thought "forget this", but the moderator kept on re-posting this. According to their complicated and ridiculous rules, one cannot delete what one posts. Only add a strike-through. It is a waste of space and totally unnecesary. These persons seem to post what they want to in an unfair way.

Suggestion

After this incident, it gives me the impression that people can basically post what they want and more if you are a moderator, so it is best to double check with other websites for info. If you can and want to, you can try the library ecyclopedias since they were reviewed before publishing. Just make sure you check the copyright year on the inside to make sure it is up-to-date. So don't just rely on Wikipedia for info. Check other info sites, too.

I've added photos so you can witness what I mean.

Edited: I checked the screenshots I took but you can't see it well since the lettering is too small, so I copied and pasted it all here:

In the Payment options section, it contains the following prices:

• 1 month for $14.99
• 3 months for $41.85 ($13.95 per month)
• 6 months for $77.70 ($12.95 per month)
• 12 months for $143.40 ($11.95 per month)
• 60-day prepaid time card for $29.99 suggested retail price

I know the one month option is correct, and I just added the 60-day prepaid time card option. But the others, I don't think they're correct. If I'm not mistaken, I think that no matter what billing cycle you choose, the game is $14.99 per month, period. In other words, if you're billed every six months, each billing cycle will be billed at $89.94 (or $14.99 x 6).

Can someone confirm or refute this? If not, my card is billed yearly, and the billing cycle is going to hit next week. --TonyV 06:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

For the 60 day time cards, I was told that it's not made anymore. They now made it a 30 day time card. There are still some stores for example "EB" game store where they have the 60 day time cards. The salesman told me they must be left over. It's the second time I was told this. the first time was at "Game stop." I'll contact "Plaync support" and get back with the correct info and make the correction. --legacy 1 6:45, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Dude, that sounds rude and unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by"

Conclusion

Thanks to my brother, he found a "60 day time card," which originally I had thought to be discontinued and thus the reason why I had posted at Wikipedia in the first place. But it is not normally found all the time, so I believe it is a rare find, but you can still find the "30 day time cards" at game stores like "Game Stop" or even at "Best Buy."
