thread_title: missing

message: I started this list and have a huge list of most of EAs games to add.  I'll do it letter by letter.  I have to hand edit the list which takes time.  You're welcome to add any games yourself, but please note that I don't intend on leaving it as incomplete as it is.  You're also welcome to disambiguate/fix any links, as the entries may not match the names for games which we have articles. I try to correct them as I add them, but I'll probably miss quite a few. — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Additions

message: Does this have anything to do with EA? I thought it was developed by SquareEnix and published by either them or Sony? Can anyone confirm this. Alexj2002 15:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know how it got in there.  Consider it removed. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Final Fantasy X-2

message: I have a game by Electronic arts called Small Soldiers (Based off of the Movie). I think you should add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.128.186.205 (talk • contribs) 
:Finding information on this game is problematic.  It was small, unrecognized and did poorly in the marketplace.  But my company did it, so I can recall the release date.  Added. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 00:38, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Isn't that the operating system that the iPad and iPhone use?  Why in the world should they be added here?  It isn't a game nor was it developed by Electronic Arts. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 14:06, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Adding iOS? 

message: I want to revive this question since there was so little feedback the last time I brought it up.  What does everyone think of putting the games in a list like this:
Game                        	Year	Platforms
007: Agent Under Fire       	2001	GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox
007: Everything or Nothing  	2004	Game Boy Advance, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox
007: Nightfire              	2002	GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox
007 Racing                  	2000	PlayStation
007: The World is Not Enough	2000	Nintendo 64, PlayStation
1503 A.D.: The New World    	2002	Windows
2002 FIFA World Cup         	2002	GameCube, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Windows, Xbox
4-D Boxing                  	1991	DOS, Macintosh
688 Attack Sub              	1989	Amiga, DOS, Genesis
Just for each section.  I don't think we should combine all the sections, because that would just make it harder to find specific games by letter.  Of course, the layout above is not ideal, since sorting by platforms will be problematic.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?
See List of Strategic Simulations, Inc. games for an example where the entire list is in a table. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 15:18, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I took a stab at the first section. Take a look here. I used the official abbreviation for each platform, which is set forth at the top, instead of using the whole name of the platform which seems to have taken over. What does everyone think? Good, bad, indifferent? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 15:59, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Table the list? again 

message: Correct me if I'm mistaken, but aren't many of the games on this list created by companies prior to being absorbed into Electronic Arts, and therefore shouldn't be on here? 99.8.175.113 (talk) 02:07, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Incorrect Entries?

message: How do you add the PlayStation Vita onto the game platform key in this article? Lacon432 (talk) 03:03, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. All the platform abbreviations are listed on this page. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 12:39, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  PlayStation Vita 

message: There is very little purpose in having the list separated by letter. We can have the table of contents jump to any row within the table, so I will be converting the table to a single, unified one with the first game of each letter having its ID. This will allow for proper sorting by year. Phailhaus (talk) 00:41, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I have finished converting it to a unified table. After sorting alphabetically the locations of titles beginning with 'the' end up in the T section however. Phailhaus (talk) 02:06, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm the editor responsible for most of the table-fying this list. I like the Unified version. Thanks! — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 04:55, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Converting to Unified Table 

message: As the editor mostly responsible for changing this list from a simple list to a table, and then to a unified table, I once again am making a major change. I'm converting the table from this format:
Name                 	Year	Platforms     	Description
007: Agent Under Fire	2001	GCN, PS2, Xbox	A first-person shooter video game based on the James Bond franchise
To this format:
Name                 	Year	Platforms        	Description
007: Agent Under Fire	    	Nintendo GameCube	A first-person shooter based on the James Bond franchise
007: Agent Under Fire	    	PlayStation 2    	A first-person shooter based on the James Bond franchise
007: Agent Under Fire	    	Xbox             	A first-person shooter based on the James Bond franchise
The updated multiple-platform version is more useful (it reliably lets users sort by platform, as well as the other columns) and, frankly, it just looks better. The only downside is that it might be a little harder for novices to edit. It will take forever, but feel free to pitch in and help. Thanks! — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 20:03, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing game 

message: I think we need to stop and take a look at what sources we are using.
Having just returned to this list to edit and verify its contents, I see that more than 100 references have been added to this list since my last edit as of this post, and that I can say is good. However, when I look at the references, with regards to the new sources, I see a mixture of reliable and unreliable sources, as well as databases. I see 26 references to MobyGames, which the Video games WikiProject highly recommends against. I also see sources like N4G (also unrecommended) and AppAdvice, which I think is a reader's typical tabloid-esque website with mediocre credentials, as well as a lack of awards and recognitions from third-party reliable sources.
There are also plenty of sources to databases such as on IGN, and I think of it as pitiful when we could instead be using news articles or press releases. I also see plenty of Electronic Arts primary sources. I am actually fine with the sources being primary, but I will caution  that for titles that are not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, they will probably need a secondary source instead. In this case, I certainly would not mind for titles like EA Star Wars Battlefront, for obvious reasons, but for titles with red links, I would prefer secondary sources to prove that they exist or have existed.
I am sorry if all of this sounds like my ranting, but the sources do need to be replaced, and there are not nearly one hundred of them, so it is not that hard. Gamingforfun365 00:21, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Incidentally, , can we remove the background colors from the boxes under the Ref column? It makes sense to have such colors for the Platforms boxes, but when I read the list from an average reader's perspective, I find the colors for the Ref boxes unneeded and decorative, and from an editor's viewpoint, editing is slower and more cumbersome, but more importantly, if the colors for the Platforms boxes are various and a single source covers those platforms, I would have to split the Ref box into multiple and cite the same source multiple times. I find it more convenient this way. Gamingforfun365 20:36, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , I'll remove the colors in the reference boxes. For the actual references, though, you're going to have to find references that aren't MobyGames, because I might be having editing fatigue trying to put in all of these references in that I'm using MobyGames as a first resort.
