Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Noticeboard

message: I've contrived this format to be something simple and readable, but it there are probably several better implementations of this idea. Perhaps every request should have its own page for easy archiving, such as Articles for Deletion and other Wikipedia things? What do you think of this format? It might be good for now, but I think it will need revamping as the page grows. Cookiecaper 02:44, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Grand Central Station

message: Compare the number of scholarly papers using the term "Schelling point" (108)
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22schelling+point
with those containing "focal point" and "game" (>40,000)
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22focal+point%22+game
I don't know where this idea was picked up, but it seems to be wrong, as is the claim (in Schelling's Wikipedia article) that "he introduced the concept of the focal point, now commonly called the Schelling point." It was this incorrect claim that led me here.66.71.90.75 (talk) 14:21, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. "Focal point" is by far a better title. --Fioravante Patrone en (talk) 14:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Is Focal point or Focal equilibrium better? I think "focal point" is more commonly used, but there are non-equilibrium focal points possible in games, as well (in "level-k" theory for instance), so I'm thinking "focal equilibrium" might be better here.

replies: text: a rough "quantitative analysis" (Google...) points at "focal point".

message: So, this article has had a vague reference to The Dean Koontz Companion for years, drawing a  tag.  I did some digging.  The ref was added on 2 July 2011 by User:RossPatterson, with the comment "Pull over a source referenced in the pre-merge Book of Counted Sorrows article."  Looking at that article from before the merge, and older revs, it does not appear to have ever referenced Companion, nor have any special content likely to have.

message: This may be one of the few articles in which more than one infobox makes sense. Starbird is no longer working in basketball, as of 2006. Her current career is in Computer Science and as a Professor. The "infobox basketball" has a lot of details specific to that sport and has no context to computer science. And the "infobox person" doesn't have specific basketball content. I am happy to discuss this further here if anyone wants too. Jooojay (talk) 06:12, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Smith family (Latter Day Saints)

message: OK -- I'll bite.  "Political" in Nauvoo, the State of Deseret and Utah Territory was intimately tied to religion.  We find descendents of all these folks in the upper councils of the LDS church (and RLDS for a couple of generations) during the first 50 - 60 years after Joseph's Smith's death, and serving in Utah territorial positions as well.  Church responsibility led to being a "judge in Israel" and hence to political activity.  Many of these families are still prominent socially, politically and religiously, but prominence is still centered around the hub of the LDS Church.  Many modern Mormons feel that political activity and public service can be a religious duty.  But the title of the article implies a different viewpoint -- a look at a family tree or generational history.  So, can you spell out your central concept about the article and/or where the article is going?  It would be good to define things in the first paragraph.  Best wishes.

thread_title:  Function of the [[Smith Family]] article 

message: I didn't mean to be insensitive to your ideas or input.  There are a whole series of articles on U.S. political families, and this was meant to be related to that series.  No doubt the Smiths got their power from religion, just as the Rockefellers did from oil, and the Kennedys did from bootlegging.  My goal in defining the Smiths as a political family was to avoid references to Joseph Smith III, Joseph Fielding Smith, etc., who were influential folks, but not politicians.  I just grabbed the name Smith Family first.  Someone could just as easily start a Smith Family (Mormonism) thread to discuss their religious influence, etc.  Perhaps a disambiguation caveat/link at the top of the thread is in order.
I just spent a ton of time proving that most Mormon political families are closely related (completely shocking that a few thousand formerly polygamist families living in the same state would be linked by now, huh :) ), and the series of articles I've been posting lately are the result of that research.  My hope is that others will read my articles and glean a new perspective (most people know that these dudes were Mormon big shots, most people are ignorant of their direct political participation or family relations).  If I don't focus the article, it is likely to become a hodge-podge of unrelated Smith info.
Thank you for your input and suggestions!

Talk:Four Card Poker

message: The basic strategy section that I put in is meant as a rough guide only; your situation may vary.  I put together the strategy, not as a player, but as a dealer who has been dealing the game for about a year, seeing who seems to win the most(other than the casino!).  Some will bet on sheer luck -- triple the ante on all plays; these players do not stay too long. Others will buy in big (>$2000), play until they lose 2 hands in a row and then leave the table.  One fellow, who usually stays all day, will bet $10 on the Aces-Up, $5 on the ante, and $5 on the play unless he has Aces or better.  He usually breaks even, but can get up $200 or $300 at times on an inital buy in of $100.
Exact payouts are at http://www.shufflemaster.com/02_products/entertainment_products/table_games/
or other gaming sites and may vary among casinos.
