So does all this mean that this article can be more similar to the Civ IV article (where the nation details are tailed.) The site they got the civ leader info from, the official game site, also includes unique units/buildings as well as abilities.

The Civ V Info Centre also does not contain any mention of the origin, owner or license of the images, making their use questionable.

Is there anything on this site that cannot be added to Wikipedia? That excludes pictures of artwork that are copyright violations, which appears to be a feature of the Civ V Info Centre.

If Civ V Info Centre is not allowed then neither should wikia's link as it is the same type of external link.

The wiki linked to is not advertising anything, it provides information to those wishing to learn what will be available in the game. 46 Nothing to discuss here, 'These standards have been developed in accordance with fundamental Wikipedia policies and guidelines and reflect the consensus of the community.'Ĭiv V Info Centre should be allowed as it's a collection of information from previews, GDC articles and confirmed primary source information on the game.customer reviews: fundamental flaw in Wikipedia's guide lines 33 Please stop adding the Amazon reviews as negative feedback.31 Recommend adding a section 'Changes from Civilization 4'.23 Re: People changing the name and/or spelling of Leaders/Civs/Buildings/Units etc.21 ATI Crossfire and Nvidia SLI Problems.20 Edit request from Christian.Oberndorfer, 3 October 2010.17 Is it necessary or misleading to hotlink all the in-game abilities?.12 External Link to Civilization V Analyst.
