Talk:Ship Buying Guide

While I can understand that the article needs to be cleaned up, I'm curious why it's thought to not have a neutral point of view. --Djsyntic 13:57, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Because it mentions individual shops and stalls. While none of the owners may have asked for it, you are giving them free publicity, where the YPPedia should be completely unbiased. --KingOfZeal 14:33, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Somewhat agreed, although it can easily be changed; simply replace all the stall names with either nonexistent pirates, obvious example names such as "shipbuilder", or generic names like "Pirate1". - HolyApoc 15:11, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Also this sort of information can fluctuates very rapidly due too market forces, so rather than mention specific stores (which are also specific to a particular ocean) it might be better just to describe the technique to determine what the best place to buy a ship are and leave it up to the pirate to do the research at the time they want to buy to find the store that gives the best deal at that time -- Vorky 15:14, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Just came to see if there are parts I can tweek further, and I see that someone added the Category:Tutorials tag to it, but that it still isn't showing up in the Tutorials section. Anyone know what's going on there? --Djsyntic 21:39, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

I just had a look and it's there. -- Cedarwings ^(t/c) 21:43, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Must have just not updated yet then when I looked, as I see it there now too. --Djsyntic 21:47, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Screenshots

It would help to use stall screenshots instead of tables. - Grayside 09:18, 13 March 2007 (PDT)

Doubloons

You should also see if someone from a doubloon ocean could comment on anything that's different on the green oceans due to the doubloon delivery cost. --Guppymomma 14:12, 13 March 2007 (PDT)

The delivery cost will be the same at all shops/stalls, you only will only need to look at the cost of Doubloon's in PoE if you are comparing ordering from a shop/stall to buying a ready made one from another pirate. In fact buying from another pirate could also be taken up into the guide, with pointers to the bazaar forum threads for buying and selling ships. -- Vorky 16:24, 13 March 2007 (PDT)

Links to to other articles

As I briefly skimmed through this just now, I noticed something unusual. There was no blue text. At all. Having links to other articles is a staple of the Wiki, and so I tagged it appropriately. -- Thefirstdude ^(t/c) 17:26, 13 March 2007 (PDT)

Added some more links, but there are probably a few more key words that can do with linking -- Vorky 18:18, 13 March 2007 (PDT)
