I think that part is quite useless. All the websites can be listed in other sections, and the links to them are posted below. Goldenglove 09:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
whoever wrote that needs to check their math skills. the source it cites says 18 months, which is 1 and a half years. im going to change it to eighteen months.
{{ Year Zero alternate reality game}}
Jmlk17 recently added a length tag to the article, and I couldn't agree more. It's already over 61 kilobytes long, and imagine how much more enormous it will get as the game continues for the next year or so. So, I think the best solution will be to split it all up into a number of smaller articles rather than just deleting content. So, after a little research about similarly large fiction topics ( Harry Potter for instance), I've come up with the proposed template you see to the right. Implied in the template are the various pages I propose the article be split up into. So, please feel free to discuss and let me know what you think or how it might be improoved, preferably on the template's discussion page. Drewcifer3000 06:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, most of the work on splitting is done, but there are still a few internal page links that don't work any more. And by the way, what is "Referenced Media"? Goldenglove Contribs · Talk 12:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Now that we have a separate page for in-game websites, can't we do away with the Year Zero Phenomena section? It's large, unkempt, and incomplete. Warhorus 18:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
As far as I know, there isn't any reliable source proving the ref.'d media listed on NinWiki. Is it O.K. with that? (I think the article should be done) Goldenglove Contribs · Talk 16:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
The article has had references to some well-known dystopian texts for a while now. While I definitely think the Year Zero ARG owes a lot to, say, the propaganda and monitoring of thought crime from 1984, it seems it borrows much, much more directly from the Philip K. Dick story. (Basic premise: government official in paranoid military state sees the Emperor as he is when a small quasi-resistance group slips him anti-hallucinogens. Ultimately sees the Emperor-thing face to face and concludes it is God.) Faith of our Fathers borrows from earlier dystopian literature, and Year Zero, in turn, seems to borrow from Faith of our Fathers. I'm not sure if adding the PKD reference renders some of the more classic ones redundant, or if there's a better way to word its addition, but I am convinced it is influential to the ARG's concept.

This is a great article, really interesting but it gives absolutely no information about the game itself. Is it a computer game? if so, is it an RPG, 1st Person shooter etc? Is it under production or finished and released? So far it just sounds like a story to me (a pretty cool story, especially being a fan of huxley, pkd and orwell) Somebody please shed some light on this.

As mentioned a full year and a half ago on this discussion page, this article is quite long considering that it details a relatively short-lived phenomenon and has not been regularly updated for many months, as a result of which it is also out of date. What is more, there are at least half a dozen other articles whose sole purpose is to give still more details. These articles, collectively, strike me as less like an encyclopaedia and more like an indiscriminate collection of information. Compare, for example, Runescape, surely a larger and longer-lived game, which has only one article (though I seem to recall it originally had many). 129.31.71.26 ( talk) 05:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
