[edit] Large numbers of issues
Is there any procedure to add yourself and merely mention you have a certain selection of issues of a magazine? I subscribed to Nintendo Power for a long time when I was young, starting from issue 50 to maybe 150ish. I should have almost every single issue in that range (1993 - 2001/2002).
I could help in adding each of those (because of course everyone needs to know what's in those issues for it to be of much use), but this page would get even more ridiculously large :)
In any case, I have those issues, so if you can't contact other people that have them go ahead and try me; just leave a note on my talk page - TheBillyTalk 16:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Have a look at the top of the Edge section and they put a similar bit of text at the top of the Nintendo Power section. If you can add the key articles for each issue that would be a help, I know how much of a ball ache it can be though ( I'm still recovering from all of the linking I had to do for Edge issue 80) - X201 (talk) 16:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Online Reviews
I was taking a look at the Game Informer site, and they post VG reviews online. Some WP articles cite these reviews for their Critical Response/Reveption sections. I was wondering, are the online reviews the same as the magazine ones? —Hydrokinetics12 (talk) 16:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Any ideas?
I don't know if anyone's notcied, but this page has become far too long, and is difficult to load and navigate due to its length. Maybe the page should be split into two or something. Any ideas? Ashnard Talk Contribs 18:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Easy. Reformulate the page's information into collapsible tables. If I recall, someone made that proposition here before. --Hydrokinetics12 (talk) 22:25, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Response to Requests
What happens if someone has put his/her name on the WP:VG/M page and doesn't respond to magazine requests? I mean after several requests have been made, nearly a month has passed, and nothing, not even denying the request, is said in response? --Hydrokinetics12 (talk) 22:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

- Really don't know. Thought I'd just point out that sometimes its hard to establish contact w/ some contributors. Or maybe we need a more organized management system for reviews than having each user either put the review on his/her talk page or on the page of the asker. --Hydrokinetics12 (talk) 20:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

- There's also the question about copyright, although I know next to nothing about the issue. I was going to post a review on User: Dihydrogen Monoxide's talk page, but he suggested that I e-mail him it with regards to copyright. Which, if copyright is an issue, should be the precedent. I don't think anything is stated on this project page about that though. In regards to the initial question, if the user won't respond, then that really is unlucky. Some are users are just like that, and I really don't know why. Ashnard Talk Contribs 20:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

- Have only just realised that this is about me. Sorry. I totally forgot about your request and after doing a couple of requests in succession I thought I'd cleared the decks and had none left to do. Sorry. It was an honest mistakes on my part. - X201 (talk) 21:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

- Actually, it wasn't about you X201 (not tatally, anyway :)). BTW, I got your email. Thanks, but does the review come w/ a caption? --Hydrokinetics12 (talk) 19:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
