s of machines on each other's hardware, but that doesn't make them "interchangeable". - IMSoP 00:14, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Shouldn't one expect a list of all computer and video games here instead of a list of lists? This just reminds me of all those pr0n lists out there. ;)
I know this would be an insanely long list, but still. Currently, this list and the Category:Lists of games is redundant. -- Lightkey 04:34, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Repeated vandalism since December 2005

Okay, would the anonymous clown that repeatedly keeps removing large chunks of lists please explain his/her actions? What ever they are, the changes appear unjustified so please stop it.

If this person does not stop, what are the appropriate actions one is to take? I see few other contributions and the IP seems to change every once in a while. --ADeveria 13:54, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Repeated vandalism since December 2005

The problem with banning the I.P. could be a number of things

1. The person is on dial-up, dial up has a static ip, meaning it changes all the time

2. The person is doing it between different addresses, so as to make people think it is a range of people

3. A group of people are doing it.

It does seem to be one or two people as the ip seems to read in the 80's.

A solution could be an area wide ban (ban a whole district), but users do not have that authority.

Other than that there's nothing i can think of.

Try contacting Wikipedia through e-mail or something, but with e-mail, you have to wait a while.

[edit] Continued Vandalism

In continuation of the prolonged vandalism to the page, I have given the suspected vandal 2 Warnings, before they can be banned, they must receive 4 Warnings, then i will proceed to informing administrators, at which time they will ban the vandal from posting for a limited time

[edit] PC games

Why this list don't have information about PC games? Swix 17:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, PC games need a list, as well as a PC Game list organized by license it's released under for convienence.--Mofomojo 21:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I just added what was already on Wikipedia about PC games. I couldn't find any list about Windows compatible games, but then again that might be near impossible to do a list of since there are a lllllot of Windows games out there. And really, I only added entries for lists on the two other most popular OSes. And I listed them under platform which makes sense. Listing by license would probably be too much for just a list of lists. Maybe a separate page for that that can be mentioned at the end in the Other entry?--FazzMunkle 01:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What qualifies as a "list"?

User:Touth has been adding a bunch of articles to this list, but the articles being added are generally not lists. (Specifically, Pac Man, Castlevania, Shining Force series, Dragon Quest, and Mortal Kombat series.) They contain lists, but are not themselves lists. The question is, should this article contain links to other articles that include lists, or only those other articles that are lists? Powers 01:14, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

This is an article about lists, not articles with lists. Tons of articles contain lists; there's no point in listing all of them here. Thus, we should only add articles that are a list, not ones that simply contain one. I'm reverting Touth's edits again; if he has a problem with it, he can discuss it here. -- LGagnon 15:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


I think both should be on this page if only LGagnon would let me do it and anyway why should they have to start with the wordslist of? i think the series articles should be here too! Touth 20:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
We already have an article for series; that's List of computer and video game franchises. This article is a list of lists, not series. We're not going to be redundant and have the same content here as in the franchise list. -- LGagnon 20:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree with LGagnon, please leave these articles off the page. --ADeveria 22:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I also agree with LGagnon - they're not for here.HawkerTyphoon 23:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR Rule

I was in the process of submitting this to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR, and the 4th rv was outside the last 24 hours by about an hour, so I held off. -- Xinit 00:09, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

It's the spirit of it that counts, an hour either way is probably OK! Let's not forget that touth has a lot of enthusiasm - maybe there is another way to resolve this? HawkerTyphoon 00:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, I held off because I was submitting it before the last couple reverts were done. We've all tried to explain it to Touth, but have recieved no responses that make sense for WP. If this editor refuses to listen to reason, as has been the case both with the Lists article as well as with the Mario rvs of the image for what sound like purely POV reasons, then what else is left but a block?
Seriously, this is the nicest I've seen people treat a vandal in ages. Enthusiasm is nice, but take a peek at the user's page... {{User:Digitalme/Box/User wikipedia/Hope-Administrator}}. I'm scared by that sort of enthusiasm. Xinit 00:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
When I get that sort of enthusiasm, I take advantage of it. If I didn't, I'd be practically celibate. Still, he seems keen, and reminds me of a puppy. Don't label him a vandal - let's just rub his nose in it, as it were, and he won't do it again. HawkerTyphoon 00:49, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
It looks like he's reverted within the time frame. He has done 4 reverts between 08:58, June 14, 2006 and 20:03, June 14, 2006. -- LGagnon 00:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, now he's blantantly vandalizing Wikipedia. Let's report him. -- LGagnon 03:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] a new list

i have just added and started a new list. please feel free to help me improve it if possible. please note that this is my very first creation and i do not claim on being an expert on creating good new articles. Touth 02:20, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zelda

Touth, stop adding the Zelda link. It's not a list, and thus does not belong in this article. I've told you this again and again, that only lists should be linked from this article. I don't care if you can't create a list because it's a redirect; what matters is that only lists are supposed to be listed here. -- LGagnon 01:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] By license?

I think that if we had a list of computer and videogames by their license

For example, list of Abandonware licensed games, list of Freeware games, list of Open-source games, list of proprietary games, etc.

This would be very helpful for PC Gamers, specifically.--Mofomojo 21:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
