Talk:Hangman (game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Does anyon know the origin of the game Hangman? It's such a morbid notion for a game that I wonder where it comes from.

Don't know jim, I have done more than a few google searches on the term myself. If I ever find an answer, I'll update here as well as email you. If you get an answer, please update the page.GameMan
Would appreciate any thoughts from others as to whether links to a few examples of online hangman games would be appropriate here. My personal feeling is that they would be. I believe the history of the page shows it is unlikely this would become a "link farm", as long as the links were kept relevant.
Another editor has disagreed, and suggested I ask for feedback here. All constructive comments are welcome.GameMan
After further discussion with the other editor, we have agreed a limited number of links to examples of the game would not present a problem on this page.GameMan
- I had to remove these hangman links because they all lead to Google Adsense linkfarms. If we can find a hangman game with no ads, I would accept that but ideally, I don't think this article needs any links.

I removed the link to the WP game, and now it's been restored. Why is this in the article, which may be mirrored on other sites? We generally avoid self-references and links to the projectspace from articles for just this reason, do we not? -- nae'blis (talk) 18:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
