Talk:Hiroshi Yamauchi

message: Read this discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_talk:Yamauchi.jpg
The result of this discussion was we are not allowed to upload a copyrighted image of Yamauchi because a free one "could be" created, much like the possibility that glass can spontaneously revert to sand.
So, since no free images are believed to exist, we have to create a free image. This means we have to seek out Yamauchi and take a picture of him. Which begs the question: Who is going to take up this task? --Captain Cornflake 21:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Photo Problem 

message: While I don't dispute that this is factually true, what is the relavance of this statement? Are we supposed to believe that yakuza are knocking off former Nitendo presidents or something? This statement doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the introduction and leaves all sorts of weird connotations. Either a follow up, removal, or explanation of relevance would be appriciated. --Don Sowell 17:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If the information cannot be verified, it should not be in the article. If you find a reliable source stating he is the only living ex-president of Nintendo, the sentence can stay with a reference to that article. If you cannot find it, it is considered original research and must be removed from the article. -- ReyBrujo 04:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well the previous president, Sekiryo Kaneda, died in 1979, so I don't really see what kind of a source would be needed here. It's just stating the facts, which isn't original research. jaco♫plane 04:08, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you are right. The information is found in the article, in a following paragraph, so why to have it there at all? We could add many other statements, like "Yamauchi is the oldest president or ex-president of Nintendo alive", or "... is the last president of Nintendo member of the founding family". I don't see in Satoru Iwata article statements like "He is the only president of Nintendo to ever have developed a game", nor "He is the only living ex-president of Microsoft" in Bill Gates article. -- ReyBrujo 04:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "Before Yamauchi worked at Nintendo, he owned a number of different unsuccessful companies, including a taxi firm and a love hotel." Seems to contradict the New ventures (1956-1975) area of the nintendo article, which places the unsuccessful ventures as being part of nintendo rather than something Yamauchi tried before he started to work for nintendo.

thread_title:  Early years section 

message: "As of 2008, Yamauchi is the richest person in Japan and 149th richest person in the world, having a net worth of approximately $7.8 billion.[1]"
"He is currently the third richest man in Japan [2] due to his shares in Nintendo since their success with the Wii and Nintendo DS consoles."
These are quoted from the beginning and end of the article repectively.  I understand that they are technically both correct ("as of 2008" vs. "currently"); however, it would probably be clearer to state merely one or the other.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.154.219 (talk) 19:21, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Richest Man in Japan Contradiction: 

message: This is about citation 9 (at the moment of this comment), which is used to back this section: Yamauchi admitted at the 2001 Nintendo Space World event that he had intentionally ordered the Nintendo 64 to be difficult to program games for..
The destination of the citation link doesn't contain any information in that regard. Googling around only gives the exact phrasing used in the Wikipedia article.
Can anyone give a source that doesn't obviously quote from this very article. Preferably it should predate the first addition of that information to this article. --80.141.17.47 (talk) 00:42, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
