[edit] A question

As much as I admire your efforts to improve the List of video game companies article, I do not entirely understand the purpose of unlinking all the listings in the Role(s) column (which incidentally I created)that I made. What was wrong with having a link to the Wikipedia article on Game Developers, Game Publishers or Console Developers, may I ask, and why did you feel so inclined to change it? Apart from this small oddity, thank you so much for editing this page and making it better. ShmenonPie - You wanna slice of me? (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi ShmenonPie,
I thought it was kind of an overabundance to have all these links to the same article, and this might look better.
I just left the links at the top of the page, and link to the less common articles (arcade game, reality game etc.)
That's just my idea though. If you think it's better to have everything linked, feel free to =)

[edit] Russian cult games article

Hi GameLegend,

I have linked the right page. I am native speaker of Russian and I assure you that the literal translation of the name of the page is "Cult computer games". Yes, we do have a major problem with this page in Russian Wiki, as some people don't seem to understand what cult game is, stating that any hit game is a cult game and any hit film is a cult film. We are working on re-writing Russian article. Netrat_msk (talk) 08:54, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of VSTEP

A tag has been placed on VSTEP requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
