Untitled

I have noted that Terry Minnich and Ken Williams have been removed from the list of USNVGT members. I would like to verify that they are indeed members and that this information is correct. walter day, Founder, U.S. National Video Game Team —Preceding unsigned comment added by Walter Day (talk • contribs) 12:18, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I went ahead and undid the changes made. The page should be back to normal. Ken VGEvo (talk) 16:20, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chronological timeline

This list is not formatted in WP's normal way and (in my opinion) would need a rewrite before being returned to the article: RJFJR (talk) 15:55, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{Prose|date=October 2010}}

Stub

I tagged the article as stub because it currently consists of one sentence and a list of players. RJFJR (talk) 15:56, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Additional information has been added, and will continue to be added. Sprinter461 (talk) 02:27, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/RD into Twin Galaxies

This page essentially contains the same information as on the Twin Galaxies page's subsection.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 23:04, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional cited sources have been added to note how and when the USNVGT operated as a separate entity from Twin Galaxies and Walter Day starting in the late 1980s. More information can be added if desired. Page should not be merged as they are not one-in-the-same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperPacMan (talk • contribs) 15:51, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the user superpacman owns the team, and is using this article to link back to his own articles about the team — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.70.105 (talk) 01:55, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SuperPacMan is Co-Owner of the team. The articles written about past members were written and published well before ownership was acquired. Sprinter461 (talk) 02:24, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of no "past members" ever being removed officially from the team - and as one of those members who have been removed from this page, I'm puzzled that we're left with a single "current member", with all traces of the history and other members of the team being removed? Everything I'm seeing is consistent with vandalism of this page, and I'm not sure who or what is driving these changes. Please provide official documentation showing how/when the historical team members were considered removed - otherwise, they should remain.

Merge or Delete

This page contains a lot of the same information as Twin Galaxies page, as mentioned previously. Press releases and articles (both written by the same person?) seem to promote the organization itself and no not necessarily add value to the page.

It was also mentioned that a trademark has been filed. A cursory search of the US trademark database confirms this, however the USPTO states the trademark application has been applied for, not granted at this time. Here is a description of the intention of the U.S. National Video Game Team:

"US Serial Number: 86718839 -- Advertising and promotion services and related consulting; Arranging and conducting special events for business purposes; Arranging and conducting special events for commercial, promotional or advertising purposes; Arranging personal appearances by persons working in the field of film, music, television, entertainment or sport; Association services, namely, promoting the interests of video games and eSports and related media; Developing promotional campaigns for business; Endorsement services, namely, promoting the goods and services of others; Event planning and management for marketing, branding, promoting or advertising the goods and services of others; Lobbying services, namely, promoting the interests of video games and eSports and related media in the fields of legislation and regulation; Marketing services, namely, promoting or advertising the goods and services of others; Marketing services, namely, promotional services for the memorabilia and collectables of others; Online advertising and promotional services; Organisation of exhibitions and events for commercial or advertising purposes; Organisation of exhibitions and trade fairs for business and promotional purposes; Organisation of promotions using audiovisual media; Organization of events, exhibitions, fairs and shows for commercial, promotional and advertising purposes; Promoting a series of films for others; Promoting public awareness of video games and eSports and related media; Promoting sports competitions and events of others; Promoting the goods and services of others by means of distributing advertising on the Internet"

As claimed earlier and later, self promotion does seem to be the main goal. As such, this article should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.96.183.9 (talk) 05:51, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]


This article also violates Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not and Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources, the author of recent edits and main supporter of this article is supporting it with PR he has written himself, as a means of self promotion, which is not in any way a reliable source as anyone can construct those "PR Releases" for any purpose. The author in question also does not seem to comprehend the idea of relevance and neutrality of subject as well as Wikipedia:Ownership_of_content, the wiki is not meant to be used in the way this author intends and for all the reasons mentioned above, the article should be deleted as it is not relevant nor noteworthy on it's own at this time and has been covered in a more significant article Twin_Galaxies. 216.223.64.50 (talk) 14:55, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Funny that super pac deletes everything and now is crying about this page on a unauthorized facebook account of this page

Also Wiki shouldn't there be repercussions on a person retracting all they said to cover up their wrong doings ??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.99.127 (talk) 19:02, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Another thing wiki patrick scott patterson claiming ownership and tm illegally on this page, threatens me and others with legal action, and even goes as far with sprinter to personally attack me on here claiming falsely I was vandelizing the page how is that ok????

I vote this page be deleted not only for the present for the past as well many of the players are not notable, here is some reasons why a person playing a game to a billion point points one game does not define a persons overall skill or ability, same to be said about the new comer dance game marathoner, ok yes she is good at one kind of game worthy how of any team us or national????? this antire page was edited and ripped apart by Patrick Scott Patterson super pac and sprinter Tim Mcvey, they retracted almost everything they wrote and now are crying about it on their own pages which IS ok BUT I say both of them should be blocked from posting or talking on any of this wiki or other wiki pages pending full investigation so you can see both parties have no credibility to claim they are historians, writers or even gamers, let alone qualified to make any claims here. They came because of self promotion and selfish acts all out for them not the gamers not the people, they do this with everything nothing the do is original, they have taken others property included but not limited to photos, stolen video content on and off youtube.

Old submissions of gamers when he was a referee threatening to sell them on ebay or even post them without the persons permission as he continued to do on youtube till he got caught, falsifying Guinness, creating and self entering scores into the the Twin Galaxies Data base of his own others and wife's.

I ask you wiki do you want that smudge here ??? and fake history a person of no shame and no guilt that claims he can do no wrong a known markist and radical male feminist, not to mention biased.


A man that has written lies in published articles that made national news and sites with lies and incomplete information????

this is not an opinion or a slander or libel or accusation this is a FACT 100%

If you would like details just ask I have all the info needed.

Patrick scott patterson is known for all of that you already seen his poor childish antics and acts here so ask yourself why this page should even stay one more hour here most of the original team were one game hit wonders — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.99.127 (talk) 19:59, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The unsigned user is Rudy J Ferretti. He has been trying to get people via Facebook rounded up to come in here and vandalize this page. His goal is to get the page removed, and he somehow thinks he's won something by doing so. He couldn't be happier or more proud of his actions. It's the only manner he can get attention. I wish I wasn't noting his name now, since it only gives him more attention. But as with normal keyboard commandos he doesn't have the integrity to sign his posts or stand behind anything he says or does. It's always somebody else's fault that he acts like a spoiled child. I'm NOT falsly accusing you of vandalizing this page. You clearly have an agenda. And that's to attack anything Scott and I part of in any manner possible, as that somehow seems to bring you validation to your sick little world. Do what you will with this page. I'm not fighting over it. I've already started gathering material to create each team members page, and eventually create a new page for the team history, that will properly meet all Wiki guidelines. At which point in time I can only hope that you will be seen for what you are, nothing more than a vandal. I've had you blocked on Facebook for years. But since you have no life, you stalk and follow and find other ways to continually harass and cause problems. Sprinter461 (talk) 10:44, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
