message: Any interest in maintaining a heading and list of delisted releases? I find this interesting.

replies: text: Personally, I think they work reasonably well as-is, within their specific system headings. I would like to hear more of what you have in mind, though.  --McDoobAU93 14:34, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: With all due respect, your tone is coming across as combative and disruptive, almost POINT-y, which can land you in hot water if you're not careful. That said, I did actually find a source for the removal of R-Type for the Sega Master System from Sega itself. To answer the long-winded post above this one, that is indeed what I'm looking for, so I'm starting to look again for information that fits the proper criteria and is reliable.  --McDoobAU93 17:22, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: And in more news you probably won't like ... you actually did the right thing, even if it was for the wrong reason. The games weren't de-listed. They're still available. Now, while my finding it definitely still qualifies as original research, the fact that the delistings were themselves not cited falls back to Wikipedia's policy on unsourced changes, that such information can be challenged and removed at anytime.  --McDoobAU93 04:51, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure I follow all of exactly of what's going on, but in general:
*Requiring sources for any information that is being challenged/questioned, is not only standard practice, but one of the foundations of Wikipedia. See WP:BURDEN.
*Forum posts are not reliable sources. They fail WP:SPS - they can be written by anyone, and thus, don't meet Wikipedia's standard for a reliable source.
As far as the actual situation, if someone could sum it up briefly, I can try to offer some more specific advice. Sergecross73 msg me  15:46, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Long story short ... apparently the Commodore 64 titles on VC were summarily removed last month. However, no reliable source was available, but editors kept adding it saying "I've seen it so it's true", which as you know fails WP:OR. The best source available is a post from GoNintendo, which references two forum posts. After a lot of policy searching and web searching trying to find something that met RS, I ultimately think the source would be acceptable under WP:IAR, since media coverage of Virtual Console is generally pretty scant, and on Wii is now almost non-existent. Again, it's the best we have, and as such the edit has been made.  --McDoobAU93 16:33, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

text: I didn't ask you to list your qualms with McDoob, and I didn't want you to further your argument, I just wanted you to sum it up. (Not sure if you noticed, but your conversation is a very long and confusing read.) But anyways, if you're done, so be it, I suppose we're all set here.

thread_title: Break 1

message: I feel the strikethrough markup should be removed from delisted releases—it serves no purpose, as their status as delisted is indicated elsewhere, and it makes the game titles somewhat difficult to read.  But I do not wish to resurrect or participate in the argument over notability of sources above, so I'll allow someone else to remove this markup.  Cheers.

thread_title: Strikethrough on delisted releases

message: I removed two games that were never released for the Wii Virtual Console in North America: Kung Fu (from the NES section) and Frogger (from the SNES section).  I don't know if there's an easy way to verify no other fake games were added or not.  74.214.42.202 (talk) 01:35, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

message: The archiving bot configured 10+ years ago is not using best practices so I deleted it.
See Special:PrefixIndex/Talk:List_of_Virtual_Console_games_for_Wii_(North_America)/
The bot created 23 archives when actually there should only be 1-3 pages. It is not possible to browse the previous discussions and also the bot was not making publicly accessible links to this.
One fix could be that anyone manually moves all of these discussions to a a central page, or 3 pages, then sets up a new bot with conventional settings.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:38, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Broken archiving 

message: I would like a second opinion on this but I was thinking consolidating the virtual consoles lists. I don’t think we need a list for each region version of the virtual console and if we merge the articles it’ll make it easier to access the full game list.
