Current Version removed??
Why was the current version removed? Needs to be re-added and changed to 5.2.0 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.32.10.194 (talk) 09:37, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- The field was removed from Template:Infobox video games. I don't agree with it myself, but that's why. --Izno (talk) 13:28, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
Subscriptions now down to 8.3 million
I don't have a Wikipedia account so I can't make the change, but the current item says "As per 2013 investor call for the fourth quarter of 2012, official subscriber numbers are at 9.6 million."
The latest: "As per 2013 investor call for the first quarter of 2013, official subscriber numbers are at 8.3 million."

Most lucrative game ever.
As quoted in http://www.businessinsider.com/here-are-the-top-10-highest-grossing-video-games-of-all-time-2012-6?op=1 this is the most lucrative game ever, and by far. I think it would be informative to add that information, more informative than "highest subcripstion of any mmo by guiness record" everybody knows this. And it's not benign either, the other top 10 games goes from 700 milion to 1.4 billion for second place to over 10 billion for WOW. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.247.39 (talk) 20:47, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- The information is there at the site you list. This is an encyclopedia. I don't see an argument for inclusion of the profitability bit here, but I don't feel strongly.Unfriend13 (talk) 07:53, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Jimmy Fallon
How come there is no mention of the video Jimmy featured on his show celebrating World of Warcraft through the song 'We are The World of Warcraft' featuring players from the game? [1] 86.9.43.75 (talk) 23:36, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
- Is there a reason it should be mentioned? Is it particularily notable? -- ferret (talk) 00:50, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yes because there is a video for it on YouTube which I took the liberty of citing in previous edit.
