Talk:Mouse Trap (board game)

message: This article refers to the game Mouse Trap as I knew it in my youth; however I strolled into Woolworths the other day and found Mouse Trap to now be a totally different game!  It has three different mechanisms running together, or something, and seems to be made of much larger sections, rather than the fiddly parts of the game detailed here.
Does anybody know anything about this change and could they please update the wiki article?
:The 'new Mouse Trap' as I call it .. I remember getting it, whilst giving my copy of the original away .. basically, in my opinion it sucked. Mainly because all three traps eventually broke and _never_ worked .. I actually preferred the older one even before the traps broke. 80.225.130.243 (talk) 20:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Mouse Trap is now totally different

message: The article notes that the game was re-released in 2006 with a different design, as the commenter above notes. However, as of today (7/19/2008) the version for sale on amazon.co.uk is the same as discussed in the article, with two tone instead of multi-color pieces.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.140.217 (talk) 01:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

message: OHH.... You build the trap DURING gameplay. We never had the instructions, so my sister and I always built the trap, then started playing. JimmmyThePiep 16:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: If Crazy Clock Game is an early version of the game Mouse Trap, should the two be merged? (especially when no sources are offered for Crazy Clock Game) 331dot (talk) 11:54, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The article both claims that CCG is a different game and that it was renamed, which seems like a contradiction. I can't support merging the content without sources, in any case. DonIago (talk) 14:33, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it'd be better if we just incorporate the Crazy Clock article into this one and put it in a section or something. Also that article says it's released a year after Mouse Trap, not before? How is it an early version of Mouse Trap then?--Krystaleen 15:28, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Crazy Clock Game]] 

message: , you mass-deleted a citation for a source that's covering a mass of subjects, with no explanation. I don't know anything about this book except face value on its product description, which obviously says that it's written about a prolific designer of a ton of Wikipedia subjects. And it's apparently seeming to be an authority on a non-controversial subject, right? Though possibly self published and I don't know what the editorial oversight is, or what the encyclopedic requirement is for such without any controversy. How is that not a WP:RS? How is "citespam" even real at all? What is that lingo supposed to mean? You didn't even link to a policy page to help anyone understand. You didn't even say that it's not a WP:RS, or that it's not about the given subject which the book description clearly says it is. Even if you prove these things, you failed to communicate that and demonstrate that you're not actually the unencyclopedically destructive one. So please do so! If that's not the case then it's incumbent on you to immediately restore your mass deletions. That's as far as I can comment without having the book, but it's incumbent to prove the positive not the negative. — Smuckola(talk) 01:04, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: For a definition of citespam, see WP:CITESPAM. A single purpose account adding a sales site link for a self published book to more than a dozen articles qualifies as link spamming. This cite was being added merely to list the book, it supported no new content. Even aside from that, it is a self published book by an apparently first-time author with unclear qualifications, I don't see how it could be a WP:RS. - MrOllie (talk) 01:19, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
