Zoo tycoon 3

Please don't vandalize articles. If you believe that the game doesn't exist (which may well be the case), comment on its deletion vote/discussion page at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zoo tycoon 3 (but comments like "it's a game made up by somebody who can't spell" will be given little weight). Thank you. - Mike Rosoft 12:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I am not siding with the creator; I am just notifying you of the proper course of action. As you can see from the discussion, it will soon be deleted due to a lack of references/evidence that it even exists. But even if he had made it up, you can't vandalize the article or otherwise disrupt the procedure. (See Wikipedia:Deletion policy; blanking an article and replacing it with a statement that XYZ doesn't exist is not a part of the process.) Thank you. - Mike Rosoft 12:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey guy I hear what you are saying, and I understand your point. However, here at Wikipedia, what you are doing is considered vandalism. The article has been proposed for deletion and will most likely be deleted within the next day or two. Take care. Shoessss 13:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• The notice at the top of the article says: "Please improve the article if possible, but the article must not be blanked, and this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed." It's because the other editors contributing to the deletion discussion need to see the original article, not your opinion about it. - Mike Rosoft 13:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
• I have protected the article to prevent you from editing it. For the last time, I am not defending the creator, I am defending the proper procedures. - Mike Rosoft 13:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
