Talk:WildTangent

destructive edits by anonymous user

I reverted these very suspicious edits because they removed important and valid information without any explanation or even an edit summary and added text that seems to be straight from the company's marketing department. Someone should check this user's edits of other articles --Espoo 05:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

=============================

As a former employee of WildTangent, I KNOW absolutely for a fact what WildTangent does and does not do. WildTangent does NOT jump from machine to machine, it does not mysteriously appear. WildTangent is in FACT pre-installed on Dell, HP, Gateway, Compaq computers. This was my first Wikipedia edit, so EXCUSE me for not knowing all the nuances. I simply erased false and unfactual information, such as jumping from pc to another pc. Bluballer 15:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC) bluballer

WildTangent has removed its bundles

I think WildTangent in 2007 has changed its games file... Now they're not bundled with Web Driver any more... So think we should remove this critic of WildTangent. I will do, if you want to deny me, please send me a message in my talk page Hippy deluxe 06:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:WildTangent Logo.gif

Image:WildTangent Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Malware Views

I believe something should be done, as there is views as to WildTangent being a adware type. It is recommended on all security forums as a optional removal and I believe we should say something about this.

Grammar and Spelling needs to be cleaned up

I hate to point this out, but the "Engrish" is a bit much. Maybe we can have someone go through and clean this up? Even if the facts are wrong watch how you spell and construct whole sentences. I am also tempted to take the whole article back in its history. But I won't because I know that'll mean I'm stepping on some toes.--FazzMunkle (talk) 17:03, 21 April

marketing itself as a game console

On the official website, WildTangent is calling itself a "game console".--ILoveSky (T | C) 21:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

"recent" in 2011, maybe

From the article: "... recently announced its upcoming Android games service launching at the end of 2011 ..."

I'm not sure anything prior to 2012 can be considered "recent" anymore. This should be rewritten.

Wild Tangent is "malware"

There are a large number of people. (I am one) who consider WildTangent to be "malware". It reports personal information about users and users computers, and the software is maliciously designed to be nearly impossible to remove from a computer. It specifically disables the normal "uninstall" functions in MS Windows so that a lengthy manual removal process from an expert level user is required to remove it, (including manual registry edits, manual disabling of processes, and manually removing directories) or special third party software designed to remove it must be installed and run on the victim's computer. (Thus; "Malware" by any definition of the word)

I don't know anything about editing wiki-pedia articles, (I was barely able to make this comment) and I don't want to "mess up" the page. However, if someone who does edit these pages and articles is working on this one, this issue should be addressed.
