thread_title: Grammar error I think

message: A token "criticism" section doesn't make this less of an ad.--Iain 06:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Then feel free to make it less of an ad, Iain. Where would you start? -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 19:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not convinced that it looks like an ad. It isn't as though the article says "GameFly is the best game rental service ever! Click here for a free trial!". I'm inclined to remove the tag, if it isn't explained soon. Kevin 21:24, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Since Iain doesn't seem to be inclined to explain why this article is ad-like, I'm going to remove the tag. More than enough time has passed for similar-thinking people to step forward. Kevin 01:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's fine. I really don't see how it's "ad-like" myself. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 02:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

text: In response: thanks for your comments RE my tagging.  While it doesn't say "GameFly is the best game rental service ever! Click here for a free trial!", overall tone does seem very positive e.g. "users have the added benefit of...".  It does not read like an encyclopedia article to me and pretty much reflects the info on their web site including current pricing etc.  I will attempt some tweaks when I get a chance.  I will also read up some more on Wikipedia's guidelines RE articles describing commercial entities and presenting current info such as pricing plans etc.--Iain 00:57, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Now that you've made the changes, it makes more sense where you were coming from. Good job, by the way! Kevin 03:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Indeed. Though minor, I see where you're coming from as well. Good work. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 23:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ad-like?

thread_title:  Bightspot.tv? 

message: I received an email from GameFly saying they are opening a distribution center in Pittsburgh, PA and that they will be testing it on my account as well as alot of other people on the east coast. I updated the page, hopefully I can find a source for this soon also. Should be official in a few weeks according to the email. —cmsJustin (talk|contribs) 21:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Distribution center changed from Inglewood to Los Angeles 

message: I added some citation references to this article.  There is apparent POV that needs to be addressed. 76.80.1.51 06:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  References should be backed up if they are to be presented as fact. 

message: I have made edits to the article to restore it to be factual based and more encyclopedic.  Previously referenced POV has not been verified.  It appears that some disgruntled customers are abusing the integrity of the article by using it as a soundboard for complaints.  Please use some other system geared towards customer dissatisfaction for that type of communication.  76.80.1.51 16:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikipedia is not a customer complaint system. 

message: Are there any other similar game services? Do Netflix or Blockbuster offer video game rental through the mail? (I see Netflix in the References but havn't checked.) Mentioning the competitors would make the article less "ad-like."
Also I wonder if there's any service like this that rents out games on older systems that Gamefly doesn't, like PSX or N64? --70.143.42.197 (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Competitors? 

message: I heard from my freind that Gamefly somtimes shipps Burned Games, is this true? Does anyone by chance have a source where I can look this claim up? And if the claim is common enough, is it worth putting in the Criticism area that people claim and/or have proof of this?--Chipmonk329  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.234.133.101 (talk) 05:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Burned Games?

message: I added the refimprove tag because there are two sections that are completely devoid of citation or reference.  The criticism section is a particularly noteworthy offender. Darthveda (talk) 13:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Refimprove Tag 

message: I've removed the criticism section because it continues to have nothing but unverified claims, and it's becoming a dumping ground for (what seems like) disgruntled customers.  If the article is to continue to have the section, it needs to have non-biased, cited examples in third party publications. Darthveda (talk) 12:57, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
