Braxton Audio,IM1A2 Abrams

Sorry it tok a while to find you — you weren't signed in when you left the message on my user page, so it just showed an IP address. Then I saw your user name at the end (duh!) and ran a search. Hey, it's late and the brain took the night off early.

I've got to admit that I don't remember what the specific problem was with the Braxton Audio article. It's rather unusual that I put a db-attack tag on an article about a company. It's been more than two months since I saw the article, and it has been deleted a second time on a prod since then. Since I can barely remember what happened last week, I can only guess as to what action I took or why. I can tell you that if you want to give the Braxton article another shot (which you can do since it was previously deleted by a speedy and a prod), you can do so without perhaps being quite as strident. You might want to keep in mind Wikipedia's prohibitions against original research, which means that you can't write about stuff you've found out on your own.

As far as the Abrams article, overall it looks pretty solid. The criticisms you mentioned were minor; I have no way to verify their validity. The article needs to be Wikified and likely needs some style editing, but the biggest problem I see is the lack of any sources. Again, the issue may be original research. If you can link to some stories on the Web about this game from gaming magazines, websites and the like, that would be a big help. If you have the original box and can take a photo of it illustrate (that's allowed under fair use as an illustration), that would be even better. It's a good start, but the sources are necessary so that the article can be verified.

Let me know if I can help. By the way, don't forget to sign in and use four tildes, like this: ~~~~ at the end of your messages to put your user name and a timestamp. Helps keep track of things. Realkyhick 04:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
