IDGA/IDSA Confusion
Multiple times in this article, the early ESA is referred to with the initialism "IDGA". This is not explained in the initial paragraphs and is strikingly similar to the "IGDA" (Independent Game Developers Association). Is this a typo, or was the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA) at one point known by the initialism "IDGA"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.217.194 (talk) 02:25, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

alot more could be added to this page. what about the IDSA's partnership with the US matials. You know, those raids, with assult rifles, on kids who copy videogames.
 * I doubt it's THAT severe (unless you've got some evidence to support it) but regardless, there should be some coverage of the ROM situation. Kennard2 05:08, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I've updated the list of currently known member/subsidiary companies with Monolith.

I'm not sure, however, if that listing as a whole doesn't fall under the "no original research" rule. Can anyone clarify that? --The Fifth Horseman 14:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

There are inaccuracies on this page, as well as questionable sources.

The ESA is located in Washington D.C. and has filed taxes from that location. I've deleted the incorrect and opinionated statement that it is no in Washington D.C.Loganman86 (talk) 11:51, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

This source is highly questionable and violates this rule from the Wikipedia sourcing guidelines: "Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable." I have deleted this addition as it is not a credible source. Loganman86 (talk) 11:51, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

The membership is also inaccurate per the ESA's website. Loganman86 (talk) 11:51, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Entersofgasdfg.gif
Image:Entersofgasdfg.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Membership directory
, I see your name in the edit history and given that you're a regular on Wikipedia, I wanted to get your thoughts on the existence of member list. I feel such a roster would fall under something we really shouldn't have in WP:NOTADIRECTORY and I've just removed it. Graywalls (talk) 21:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I think you're right, also because of how dynamic that can be. But I do think listing the clear major publishers that are part of it might be fair. M asem (t) 01:04, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I thought about it, but then I didn't want to put myself in the position of deciding whose major, limit to 3, 5, 7 or whatever, but why those numbers? So not putting any seems like the best way to avoid the coat rack growth. Graywalls (talk) 01:06, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
