Talk:Government simulation game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NOTE: Although this article was previously subject to AfD that reached no consensus, the article has been entirely rewritten since that time. There were good objections to the old article that were raised during the AfD, but the original reasons for the AfD are no longer valid. At the time of the last nomination, the article looked like this.

[edit] Archive 1
I archived the talk page in order to remove redundant and pointless discussions made during the first two quarters of 2006. Trust me when I say it says nothing interesting: it's basically quarrel over which games should be included, how much, and a lot of WP:POINTs. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 02:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Original research
Well, even though my AfD failed to reach a consensus, it's quite clear that it needs a LOT of improvement. I took the first steps. Requests for references have now been put into the article after virtually EVERY sentence, and even though I've looked I haven't found any source that would pass WP:RS. If it remains in this state for too long; I will simply nominate it again. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 02:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stubified

- I'm stubifying the article. The topic is valid, but I think it will need a rewrite. Give it a couple months to see what people can contribute. Tarinth 13:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

- Update -- I've added a history and references section, and added one of the earlier games for this category. I'll add more when I can spend some more time with it.

[edit] To-do List
(Feel free to add things here)
- Identify more geopolitical games
- Find out about some of the more recent products,
including Political Machines (described by Wired: http://www.wired.com/news/games/0,2101,64625,00.html ) - Find out if there are any games worthy of inclusion that focus on political campaigns, elections or administration in countries other than the United States
Locate some screenshots or promotional art for a couple of the games and add to the article
[edit] online nation simulation games
This article should probably discuss the fairly recent emergence of online nation simulation games like NationStates and CyberNations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.248.222.34 (talk) 18:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC).
