Recommendation: I suggest that brief summaries about the games that they made. Allyunion 09:11, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Those that read this must remember that this is a computer. Contradiction: the assertion that Parker Brothers made the first jigsaw puzzle contradicts the history in the jigsaw puzzle entry.

I would assume the article is referring to the first cardboard jigsaw puzzle, as George Parker wouldn't have even been alive in, or anywhere near, 1760. I won't make the change as i don't have a source for this, but i'm going to just remove this 'jigsaw puzzle' note altogether until someone with better background knowledge can set everyone straight. Also, I noticed this article was of slightly poor quality and although i cannot fix it all now i'll put up a note if i think it needs it grrowl 06:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Larry H. Parker fact verification?

The last line points to Larry H. Parker, an infamous personal injury attorney as part of the Parker Brothers family. This seems unlikely and I think it is a fact that needs verification.

In any case, the profession of personal injury law has no apparent connection to board game publishing, which is the topic of this article. So this information does not belong. If Mr. Parker is independently notable, he should have his own page. - Stellmach 16:00, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Confused

RISK, on my board game says it was made in 1919. Yet here it says it's after 1934 at the very least. I am not sure where your source is from? RISK page itself doesn't describe it's date neither. But my game box says "since 1919" which I thought was the company Parker Brothers, yet that seems to be 1888 according to a lot of sites other than wikipedia.
