message: What is the game Focus? The article that was there was a Dutch band, which I moved to Focus (band). But the focus of a mirror isn't a game either. -phma

message: I removed the following sentence from the first paragraph:
:However, some game fanatics feel that in the last couple of years, the award has been awarded for diplomatic reasons, cycling between the three or four largest game producers in Germany.
Perhaps someone could find a source for this sentiment or rewrite the sentence entirely. Rossumcapek 14:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

message: List of Mensa Select recipients, the game award by American Mensa, just got a RFD. Could you peek in, and give your opinion? I just created the category Mind Games (Mensa), mentioned it on the Mensa discussion page, and the RFD popped up. samwaltz 18:06, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Klondike" game that is linked in the article under Children's Game of the year (Klondike (board game)) has the same name but is not the same Klondike game that won the award. I'd like to repair this, but the award-winning one doesn't have its own article yet. I'm not sure how to resolve this - remove the link (leaving just the name of the game as an unlinked text), or change the link to a "red" one (link to an unwritten article). And if so, how to call the new link/article? "Klondike (board game 2)"? Or something else?

message: As far as I can see, the official title for the special awards read special award "beautiful game" (and not "most beautiful game") on the official website. Similar with the other special awards, there's no most or best use of indicated in the name of the special awards. Was it introduced on purpose or is it just a translation flaw?

message: Why is the image for this page the photo of some guy, rather than the image of the award itself? 71.197.176.10 (talk) 03:53, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @71.197.176.10 (talk) - I am not sure which image you refer to, i.e. which images existed in 2021, as the Wikipedia page currently has no 'infobox' photo. However, if it is the current top image, i.e. the one of "Harald Schrapers", which has become a psedo-'Title Image', then I completely agree! I think the "Randy Flynn" photo, which shows the award in it, is a much better one as the 'Title Image' for the 'info box', until one is found which just shows the award itself. Let's start a discussion on this here! Please reply with your views, if you are reading this. SMargan (talk) 13:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

message: I have noticed that the "All Winners" section appears to be duplicating the information that should be in the "Awards and nominees" section, if that section was fully complete. I am currently making changes to make the "Awards and nominees" section a complete set of tables from all the recipient of honours from 1978 to the current year. In the meantime, I am hoping that a discussion is started as to what function the other "All winners" section fulfills. Does it need deleting, or, at very least, having superfluous information, e.g. like the "Publisher" column, removed to simplify it and avoid information repitition. I hope this starts some discussion on what people see the point of the "All winners" section is. Everyone! Feel free to post your individual thoughts, in the form of a reply to this post.
