thread_title: Wikiproject box

message: If we plan on making a rating system for our project, we are going to need to iron out an essential articles page, where we define what is high, mid, low, and none importance, and we might need to iron out some guidelines on what constitues a complete strategy game so we can decide what is stub, start, B, GA, A, and FA. We really won't have a way to work on games and improve them unless we know how. Maybe something like the strategy game article and well known game articles are high, and importance goes down from there. Clyde (talk) 02:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems like a good enough place to start for our rating system. I think "well known games" should be considered ones that have widespread popularity (i.e. most people would have heard about it), is a notable strategy game, and isn't too recent. Maybe I'm just stating the obvious, but I guess this is as good as any place to start. Thunderforge 04:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So Risk would be one of the most important, together with chess perhaps. How do we make a rating system? | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 10:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I think we would have to make categories (below), then we make an essential articles page which says this is how we organize our games. Top is decided because it's an important game etc. Then we have a box made (like CVG's), get a bot to update the statistics daily of which articles have been rated, then we have to fix the syntax of our box so that it alows us to rate the articles. We might want to get the help of the people who wrote the CVG box for the syntax work, and of course, Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team for permission to get started, and help.

thread_title:  Essential Articles 

message: I noticed that Solved game, along with 1038 other articles, was marked as falling within the scope of this WikiProject. What were the criteria for selecting these articles? Specifically, what role does this project fill that is distinct from WikiProject Board and table games and WikiProject Computer and video games? It seems to me that this WikiProject is somewhat redundant, particularly given the current population of :Category:WikiProject Games. —ptk✰fgs 02:07, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The redundancy problem was something we had to deal with very early on, even before we were a proper wikiproject. The rationale for creating a wikiproject that appears to be a blend of board games and video games is that if you take a look at how many current example articles there are, one was done by me (Empires), one was done by wikiproject chess (chess, their only one) and one was done over a year ago (Starcraft). Board games isn't excatly chugging out good strategy game articles (they don't currently have a collaboration), and video games wikiproject is so bloated that we really couldn't get the focus we needed to improve strategy games. Many strategy games are poorly written or stubs, and a lot are missing the banner and TLC of the projects that are above us. We might be considered a subproject of video game wikiproject, but then again we're not the the first. Also, I'm sorry that strategy games banner is at the top of every article with five spaces. That was how that bot that placed them was programmed. You can move them below your banner if you want..--Clyde (talk) 16:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  What is a strategy game? 

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

I made an effort to publicise the merge on the villiage pump and various places that deal with fair use templates.  After a lot of support on tfd and a lack of opposition elsewhere I attempted the merge on January 15.  Post-merge I've had two objections, one of which said that I "should have brought up the merge with the various projects that manage those covers" (which I thought I was doing when I informed WikiProject Fair use).  The merge has been reverted by the person who said I should have brought up the merge in more places.  So here we go...

thread_title: References to the board game Risk in popular culture up for deletion

message: Honestly I wasn't able to participate too terribly much with the last collaboration on Age of Empires II due to my limited knowledge of the game (and I was also simply very busy). I think that we should start up another collaboration lest this wikiproject stagnates and dies on us. Furthermore, I think that we need to give serious thought to the next collaboration. Ideally we can choose one that is relatively popular and within range of FA status. The way I see it, if we can get an article to FA status it will be shown on the mainpage and our wikiproject will gain more visibility. More visibility = more contributing members. 
Personally, I would like to nominate games such as The Oregon Trail (computer game), Connect Four, or even a renomination/refocus on the Risk (game) article to bring it to FA status. (Personally I think the Risk article could easily become FA with minimal work, IMO all that is left is a few citations, work on a separate article (currently a workspace) focusing on the different licensed versions of the game found here, and then a peer review). b_cubed 04:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm sorry to hear that. b_cubed 16:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Risk is quite a popular game, and few board games ever reach FA status. If we can get it up to FA, TFA will surely follow. I've had Empires on TFA/R for a while, but nothing has come of it. I'd guess the same would be with Rise and Fall, but something like Risk has a chance. Perhaps we could draft a plebiscite to see whether or not we (as a project) want to finish Risk and forget about AoE II for a while (or forever).--Clyde (talk) 21:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Pardon my ignorance but what does the 'T' in TFA stand for. I have done a little more work on the Risk (game) article and have a peer review under way. It certainly needs a read through and a few more citations where applicable. The only section that I think still needs work is the section dealing with different versions of the game. Looking at the main article I have for that (List of licensed Risk game boards), I'm sure that it could also qualify as a FA list if it was only cited. b_cubed 05:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: McKay insists on adding a Notability tag to 4X, which would put it in danger of deletion - despite the fact that I've provided references that show how widely and consistently the term is used and that it represents a significant genre of strategy games. If 4X is deleted, any article about one of the many games in this genre which linked to it would have a dead link. I think McKay's real problem is that he / she thinks only subjects discussed in well-established academic journals are notable, which is a totally unreasonable criterion for computer games, where most of the articles are online and generally taken offline after a few years. If the Notability tag stands, someone (possibly McKay) will be tempted to apply it to other genres such as RTS - and Herzog Zwei, the first RTS, would be extremely vulnerable as articles about it are going extinct.Philcha 23:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.

Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback! 
If you have already provided feedback, we deeply appreciate it. For the Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team, SelectionBot 16:37, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Strategy game articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release 

message: In the Strategy section of the English article on Tic tac toe, there is a line starting with "Opposite corner". It states that, "Opposite corner: If the opponent is in the corner, play the opposite corner."
I think this requires some clarification, the diagonal, horizontal or vertical opposite? It's impossible to tell from the article, and I'm afraid I can't contribute with the right answer. Hopefully someone else will.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Femtiosex (talk • contribs) 09:55, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
