Talk:Curse of the Chthonians

Edit request

 * Specific text to be added or removed: Curse of the Chthonians is a package containing -> change package to book
 * Reason for the change: The quotation that says package is using it to describe the parts as a whole. Both editions of the product were softcover books.
 * References supporting change: Product description on Amazon

 * Findings of fact: The source provided in the article for the article's claim that this is a package was written in 1985 — a source which I cannot access. The COI editor has stated that an Amazon source from today confirms that this is a book. According to the Amazon source, the item does resemble a book, in that it is mentioned as being "88 pages long", however, and most notably, it does not appear to contain an ISBN — which virtually all traditional books do. Amazon usually posts those ISBN's for any book it sells. A search was also made at the internet resource WorldCat for Curse of the Chthonians, which produced no results. The COI editor did not provide an ISBN with their request.
 * Conclusion: The source for the term package is an article written in 1985. Amazon, which is selling a portion of that package, does not provide any descriptions which contradict that term (such as an independent ISBN for the item). The item itself appears to be printed material that accompanied a game sold in 1985, and which was described, at the time, as a package. That this printed material may, many years later, be available for purchase separately on Amazon's website does not turn that accompanying printed material automatically into a traditional book. Thus, the article's existing language which describes it as a "package" is the language which most accurately describes the item, and it should not be changed unless additional sources or evidence are provided to prove otherwise.
