Why... imagine that... Google finds you... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by an unspecified IP address (talk)
- Yes indeed it does. You don't have a user page to respond to. How am I suppose to creepily google you? Dslotman 22:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] You're welcome
Thanks for noticing. Have been hunting vandals all day. It's thirsty work! :-) --Storkk 20:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] An unclear guest who's been warned for vandalism
now you have deleted the clubs?
i am reporting you to admin —The preceding unsigned comment was added by an unspecified IP address (talk)
- Knock yourself out. First, I'm not sure what you are refering to and secondly, I've never vandalized anything. If you have a legitimate concern with one of my edits feel free to revert it or address my change in the article's Talk page or here on my Talk page. I'd request that such comments either quote my edit or link to the change for the sake of clarity. Thanks, Dan Slotman 15:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
That's probably what they would say in peer reveiw; however, I still think we should do it, because they might have an extra tip or two. I also think that list of games looks very bad, espesially the red links. Working an hour a day here is fine; we all have an alternate identity, as well as an alternate life. :-) | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 12:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- I just noticed peer review is for "article that have already undergone extensive work". I guess we'll have to write, and then do PR. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 15:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

- The WikiPedia:WikiProject Strategy Games should be getting involved one of these days. (See discussion on talk page). By the way, you can join the WikiProject if you like. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 01:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 16:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Risk
I was just about to send you a message actually. I hope you don't freak out about my recent moving of the different marketed versions of risk into a separate article. Personally I simply thought there was too much red in that section and I really liked what the Monopoly article did, which I'm in the process of trying to imitate. One thing though is that I'm not too familiar with the other versions and I am afraid someone might propose it for deletion pretty soon because of it's current look. If there is anything you could do to work on that article it would be a plus--but definitely don't feel obliged to do a lot becuase that isn't really the article of concern. I would just be happy to see all the different variations in a template box with a picture added.
Oh yeah, I don't have a version of risk readily handy. Is there any way that you could take some pictures and upload them. I'm thinking we need a better picture of the army pieces. I would prefer if they were all in the same picture right next to some dice as well as mission cards, and conquering cards. But yeah, thanks for the note. :o) I want to see this article become GA and hopefully FA. ttyl b_cubed 00:01, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately the list got deleted, so we'll have to present the next list fait accompli. As far as the template boxes for the list go, if you want to set up a sandbox area where we can work on them until the full list is finished, I'd be happy to help with that.
- Ignoring that, I absolutely liked the change to move the knock-off list out of the article. Ideally, if someone really likes one of the knock-offs--Godstorm for instance--they would develop that into an article modeled after the Risk article. I agree that Godstorm and similar articles are in sad shape, but personally I don't own or even enjoy playing them and thus have little motivation to improve them.
- I do own classic Risk, but I do not own a camera, so no pictures from me unfortunately. I actually like the pictures of the army pieces, but I agree it would be nicer if they were in a single image. It would also be nice to have a closer image of board. Thanks, Dan Slotman 17:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- Personally I wouldn't want a closer image of the board per se. I think a drawn diagram would look cooler. Besides, the picture in the main infobox already shows a picture of the board. Additionally, with a diagram we can get rid of the list of territories (through incorporating a list of them on the side with corresponding # labels). b_cubed 19:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] MoS
MoS stands for 'manual of style' and can be found here. What I was referring to is that Wikipedia, for consistency, likes the references to come before external links. As per WP:HEAD, the procession of end-noting headers goes as follows: See also References (and Notes, can be combined) Notes (above) Further reading External links
As for the references-small code I put in, that just makes the text for references smaller so they don't take up as much room. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 19:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Risk AfD
By all means, edit away. Sorry I just got flooded with an inordinate amount of work. I don't really plan on doing too terribly much at all on wikipedia until I get some free time, which won't be until the middle of April, at the earliest. Good luck with the Risk page. I might dab a little here and there but nothing major in the meantime. b_cubed 23:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I looked the monopoly page over and it appears that most of them were pictures that someone took. I'm pretty sure we could find many box pictures off gameboardgeek.com. (I'm not sure if that's legit though either, I think there is a way to request photos in the community portal somewhere though...). Anyways, one section/division that should probably be added to the chart is Number of Players I know for sure that the Lord of the Rings variations only allow for 4 players. Like I said before, I don't have too much time to devote to this right now (or at least I shouldn't be splurging too much and spending a lot of time editing). I'm hoping though, that if we can get it all in chart form then the others who have been editing the main article can edit that one as well. I know I mentioned it before but I really am not too familiar with all the variants--and I seem to recall you saying the same. Thanks again for keeping in touch. b_cubed 23:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
