Talk:Endgame: The Calling

Untitled
Should add previously to this, the last person who fact checked me did not read most of this stuff and two of the articles hold 98% of all details ... do I need to quote & then reference parts of each article or can I trust that the editors will actually read the full citation?

Thanks a ton for the help guys!

I would like to add to this that I think we have a lot of valuable references in here ... I tried to change the frame of the language too in order to be appropriately neutral. If there needs to be anything else done, please let me know or toss down a tag or note on whatever is needed. Much appreciated on the learning experience. When I went back through the links I had - we had everything we needed, I was just uncertain of what was wrong...even after reading 60+ wiki help pages!

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --IamM1rv (talk) 19:08, 2 March 2015 (UTC)iamM1rv

I think the page started as an advertisement and needs work. I believe think the book deserves a wikipedia mention do the the unique style of story that is part of and the $500,000 prize for solving the puzzle from it. It is not an everyday type of thing and caught my attention awhile back. This page with work could provide a valuable reference and documentation of a trend in marketing carried on to a new step evolving from the Halo 2 & 3 campaigns to include a paid actress who records an interactive story with her readers 6 days a week.

Reference to a reliable news source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2014/05/22/james-frey-endgame-book-exclusive/9374741/ 2nd reference to the prize: http://blog.caesars.com/las-vegas/endgame/gold-display-highlights-endgame-author-james-freys-appearance-caesars-palace-october-17/ More reference to the planning and transmedia nature of this new type of game: http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/28/5944583/google-is-helping-james-frey-build-a-sci-fi-juggernaut-with-endgame Huffinton post reference to the game too: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/07/james-frey-endgame-the-calling_n_5947750.html A gaming website referencing that this game is rather unique: http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/07/google-endgame-augmented-reality-world/

Can we gut, revise or use the underconstruction / citation needed tags to save page somehow? I've been trying to talk to the user who tagged this page about what would make pages like this reasonable and I've spent 11+ hours reading now on wiki help.

Note: In the help files, I read that neutral third parties should be doing the work for entries. I am not related to anyone from any of the companies involved in any matter beyond playing another game from the maker of the company & I find this interesting mainly from the historical perspective of the internet, gaming and technology.

I'm trying to avoid a revision war thing by talking to the user who submitted this but he's apparently stalking my history file now. As before I submitted a (poorly done) first page ever on the subject he was never remotely related to the subject at hand.

Rollback of categories
Read up on the history of why the book was made and then propose why you believe the categories don't belong. Further reference "ilovebees.com" for similar types. IamM1rv (talk) 11:31, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

More than just this page
It's not just this page that needs revision. The book, the game, the sequels were all intended to be part of a large transmedia game. The link to Endgame: Sky Key redirects to James Frey, the article about one of the authors, which says nothing about the Endgame project. Thnidu (talk) 04:17, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
