Citation should not be needed on the point about Gamespot being originally a PC gaming site.  Being a Gamespot user myself since 1996!

The picture featuring the Gamespot Portal should probably be updated.

unlock it and list me as a key part of the mod staff o_O 

I think the sock puppet invasion is over. It's probably safe to reopen it. 

I don't see any disputes, it was just a sock puppet invasion. I think it's time to reopen this 01:35, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) Gateman1997

On a serious note, will it get deleted if I list myself as a key mod on the GS staff? I really am a mod, and one of the mods you listed isn't even a mod anymore. I would consider taking off the mod who's not even a mod anymore and adding myself to be a legit update. 

I remember they locked the IGN topic once, and it was there for several days. 

Once this page is fully open, would anyone mind a total rewrite that would cover everything about GameSpot ever? 

Um, how exactly are you goiong to list yourself? Do you mean saying your real-life name or your user ID that you use here? If you can provide a link or something showing you're really on the staff, then... maybe. Talk 10:41, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's so stupid that anyone would vandalise a page becuase they are angry at the site. 

 Come on - let it be edited! 
I want to add some more details about GameSpot. When is it going to be unlocked by a SYSOP?  1 July 2005 17:06 (UTC)

Well, my name at GameSpot is The_Capitalist, and if this topic ever opens, I'll rewrite the topic. Is anyone planning to contact a Wikipedia mod? 

Um, go to the protected list and say it should be unlocked. Often the sysops just forget if no-one demands it! So do that and it'll no doubt become open very soon. Talk 5 July 2005 04:19 (UTC)

I went to the list of protected pages, but GameSpot wasn't listed. I believe that they thought they had re-opened the page, but I guess they did not. I've alerted a wikimod to the situation. - XX55XX/The Capitalist  

The protection logs said it was protected against vandalism. Since it has been protected for almost a full month, I have unprotected it. Next time, ask for unprotection on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection.  5 July 2005 21:54 (UTC)

Someone should mentiion that both gamespot and videogamespot started out as nuke.com.. it was an online presence of EGM.. they opted for gamespot name several issues later..

 One small thing 
""GameSpot is credited with being one of the most reliable and sometimes brutally honest resources for gaming information in the Internet, leading in reviews, previews, and news coverage""
Any sources for this? 

Read some reviews, the people at Gamespot are pretty tough. 

Anyone I know regards them as the opposite, according the gamerankings they are purely average.  

That's purely anecdotal evidence, which is useless. Go pick up a game box sometime. The developers love quoting positive reviews from Gamespot and IGN  

While it may be POV, me and everybody I know certainly believes it to be true.  

I actually don't see as many gamers trumpeting Gamespot's reviews on thier boxes as you would have us believe. I believe your opinion is just that.

I agree, it should be reworded as 'Many people see gamespot as the most brutally honest... etc... etc.. etc..', this article is full of POV information, a definite rewrite should be in order. Besides, it doesn't matter if you've been a member of GameSpot since ever, or if you even work there; the writing standards of Wikipedia still apply.  

I would hardly describe Gamespot's 6.3 out of ten review of
