Ways to improve Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2

Hello, Timur9008,

Thank you for creating Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

It would be helpful if some content was put on this page. At present it is not enough to warrant an encyclopaedia entry.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Whiteguru (talk) 08:30, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Whiteguru: I've just expanded the page. I will also add the cover art and gameplay screenshot.Timur9008 (talk) 12:18, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hint regarding Newspapers.com

Hey Timur. Thanks for your recent work uncovering data from old newspapers. I noticed that, whenever you reference Newspapers.com, you cite the full newspaper page. As you note with each reference, these pages have closed access. However, individual clippings can be viewed without a subscription, so you can create a clipping, cite that clipping, and make the source easily verifiable for all other editors. As a bonus, these clippings can even be backed up in the Wayback Machine; a double archival, if you will. Happy editing! IceWelder [✉] 11:05, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I actually just this for Battlefield 1942(the clipping). And didn't know the part about the Wayback Machine. I will be doing as you said from now on.Timur9008 (talk) 14:39, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

home media release

I noticed you added a reference for the home media release date to a film article[1] and I just wanted to point out that for many films The Numbers.com is a much easier source to use (or reuse) for that kind of information, down the page under "Movie details" it lists "Video Release: June 13th, 2006 by Fox Home Entertainment"[2] -- 109.77.209.225 (talk) 14:05, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I will keep this in mind next time i edit homedia sections. Timur9008 (talk) 07:51, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tabletop games

Hey there, I wanted to say thanks again for finding that newspaper source earlier this week for the "Black Monday" card game (and everything you have done here and there on video game articles). I have put a significant amount of work into RPG, board game, card game, and other tabletop games articles, so anything else you can do in that area whenever you think of it would be great. User:BOZ/Games deletions is a huge list that I have been working on, but if you spot any good sources for anything from there let me know! BOZ (talk) 03:06, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Timur9008 16:21, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Yes but the reason every manga magazines sales were removed because they were all in same magazine. But Shonen jump is that magazine and grossed 20.2 billion as of 2019 so why not add it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr TOTEM (talk • contribs) 06:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because Shonen jump is not a franchise/brand.Timur9008 11:56, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Challenges

Hi there! Since you are good at finding sources, there are several as I work through the early 1990s in CGW that I have not been able to find additional RS for. Do you think you might be able to help find anything more for any of these?

Star-King[3]
Stellar Conquest[4]
Discovery 2.0[5]
Second Conflict[6]
TKO Pro Boxing[7]
Stellar Agent[8]

Anything you can find would help! Thanks. BOZ (talk) 15:33, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I just did an extensive search but I found nothing for any of these games. Timur9008 18:22, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I called them challenges. ;) OK, thanks for looking. There may be others in the future, if you don't mind checking those I will post here. BOZ (talk) 16:24, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Feel free to drop by anytime. :D I'm going through all the video game stub articles one by one at the moment. Timur9008 18:30, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Got anything more to add to Antheads? BOZ (talk) 04:54, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How about Big Bang (video game) and Go-Moku / Renju? These last few are all from the UK, as will be the next several drafts I work on, and the Go-Moku and Backgammon were Atari UK releases from their Mindgames series if that helps. BOZ (talk) 15:33, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Huh! Is that the same article, or one that I can use instead? BOZ (talk) 12:21, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's the same article. Notice it says L. R. Shannon(the author) and New York Times. I just typed L. R. Shannon, New York Times, and Masque Video Poker in the Newspapers.com search function. Timur9008 15:27, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I probably should have asked before redirecting it (although it can always be restored), but do you see anything more for The Battle of Britain 2 [10] ? BOZ (talk) 12:57, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Timur9008 16:05, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tabeltop game drafts

Hey there! :) Thanks for the hit on Europe Aflame. I've been building a fair number of drafts for tabletop games from the late 1980s/early 1990s; if you can find the time would you mind seeing if there are good hits for any of them so I can also move them to article space? These are redlinks, but you can click on them and it will lead to the actual draft:

International Cricket (board game), Topple (game), Jump the Queue, Can't Stop Express, Thomas the Tank Engine Game, Liar's Dice (Milton Bradley), Ea$y Money, Excalibur (board game), Modern Naval Battles, Counter Intelligence (board game), Hookipa (board game), ASG Baseball, Clue Quest, Tomorrow the World (board game), Hitler's Last Gamble, Full Metal Planète, Traber Derby Spiel, A la carte (game), Favoriten (board game), Echelon (board game), Death By Diet, Temple of the Beastmen

I am going to start more next week, but these are the ones I have so far and want to get into article space. :) BOZ (talk) 17:10, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I just did an extensive search but here is what I found. Timur9008 21:11, 25 December 2021(UTC)

Awesome, thank you! :) I will get as much use out of these as I can. BOZ (talk) 22:24, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Allright, so I completed the other half today! Again, the redlinks are in draft space:

Liftoff!, Chamelequin, Clubhouse Baseball, How to Launch Your Own Board Game, 5th Fleet: Modern Naval Combat in the Indian Ocean, Minden Playing Card Cricket, Dicke Kartoffeln, Grosz Jakosa, Karawane (board game), Cash (card game), Rise and Fall (board game), Coup (board game), Star Wars: Escape From The Death Star, Flux (board game), Roller Coaster Hippo, Rettet Die Umwelt, Wer Hat Mehr?, March Madness (board game), Cover Up (board game), Römer (card game), Fidchell: Celtic Chess, Murphy (board game), Shell Shock!

If you can help with any additional sources that would be great. :) I may have a different list I would ask you to look through, but if you are interested then I will save that for next year. ;) BOZ (talk) 19:02, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will do these next year :) I want to relax today and tomorrow. Timur9008 21:35, 30 December 2021(UTC)
