The article on the inventor of this game, Mark Steere, is currently nominated for deletion. Percy Snoodle 08:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] So what?

Mark provoked this deletion thru his boastful attitudes. And, there's a lot of stuff on him available anyway.

Mark using three sockpuppets in the English language Wikipedia (Advocron, CluePuppet, PearlMcPurry): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive50#MarkSteere

Mark using two 'normal' e-mail accounts and three sockpuppets to harrass the German anthropologist R. Gering (PrestonShepper, Lily Hammer, Freckles Z Deutsch) and sending him Nazi propaganda: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/abstractgames/message/916

Mark: "priding oneself on how many edits one has conducted is like a terrorist priding himself on how many buildings he has blown up." (directed at a well-known Spanish games expert) http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/mancalagames/message/1305

Mark insulting a social science scholar on Super Duper Games telling him that he is suffering under "pseudo intellectualism" [sic!] and "megalomania". [Note: not Mark was banned for this behavior, but the scholar) http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=434

Mark insulting users in the deletion review calling them "deletion yahoos" and was in return called "dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical" and "Mister Textual Analysis". It was then recommended to him to look up "psychological projection" and (...) "narcissism": http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2006_July_3&diff=62522110&oldid=62400796

Mark claiming that all Germans are Nazis (and the public response): http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/stacking-games/message/183

(Mark also promoted racist stereotypes in regard to Russians and played down the Holocaust.)

[edit] Column alignment

The columns don't line up with the 9x9 games. Would somebody fix this, please? OneWeirdDude 17:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the alignment in the template used for the 9x9 games. Does it look OK now for you? — Tobias Bergemann 06:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
