Should Mahjong be capitalized? I ask because I have made Category:Computer mahjong so I need to either capitalize that or rename this article. Marasmusine 15:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

This item would be more accurate if it were titled 'Internet Mahjong' - all the references are internet (and interactive either with other users or 'system software players'). I realise that 'Shanghai Mahjong' refers to the solitaire usage but that is still 'computer' based. Just in my humble opinion of course. Chaz 17:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Psp-japanese-MahjongTaikai.jpg

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.

Windows Vista does not include the version of Mahjong being discussed
I removed the part of the line stating that Windows Vista comes with Mahjong, because it does not. It does come with Mahjong solitaire, but that is an entirely different game. It should be noted that this article contains a link to Mahjong solitaire, and that article correctly states that some versions of Windows Vista include the game Mahjong Titans.

Merge complete
to merge the various mahjong stub articles into one article describing mahjong games in general. Randomran (talk) 18:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I just stumbled upon the Category:Computer mahjong and it's pretty atrocious. Virtually all the articles are lousy stubs, many of them have been that way for years and many of them are orphans.


 * Aki (computer game)
 * Apparel Night
 * Baka Tono-sama Mahjong Manyuki
 * Bijokko Gakuen
 * Bijokko Yume Monogatari
 * Dynasty Warriors Mahjong
 * Ide Yōsuke no Mahjong Juku
 * Jangō Simulation Mahjong-dō 64
 * Kiwame Mahjong DX2
 * Brodie Lockard (an author. is this even notable?)
 * Mahjong 64
 * Mahjong Hōrōki Classic
 * Mahjong Master
 * Mahjong Taikai
 * Maqiupai
 * Princess Brave
 * Pro Mahjong Kiwame 64
 * Pro Shinan Mahjong Tsuwamono 64: Jansō Battle ni Chōsen
 * Yosuke Ide's Mahjong Juku

There are only two non-stubs in the entire category. Computer mahjong and Mahjong solitaire which are both in rough shape. That's a whole other story.

I'd like to merge these all together in a list of mahjong video games, unless someone else has another solution. I'd appreciate some help too. Randomran (talk) 19:11, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The only issue I see with that the list may never be comprehensive as the number of mahjong video games is too large to keep track of. So Featured status may be out of the question for it down the road. But I can't really think of an alternative. (Guyinblack25 talk 20:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC))
 * I can live with that. At this point, it's nice just to avoid a bunch of barely notable, orphaned stubs. Randomran (talk) 20:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Mahjong video games are all the same... just consider them all the same game, and merge them in Mahjong video game, mentioning any specific game when needed. This way it doesn't have to be comprehensive. The number of mahjong games is large, but that doesn't mean they're all notable. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 07:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Making a genre article would be a good idea in any case. For most of these particular articles, however, I would just prod them rather than put them in a list. Ham Pastrami (talk) 09:57, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I PROD'ed a few. I'll wait a few days and try to mention these individually in some kind of Mahjong video game article, with a bunch of redirects. Randomran (talk) 16:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Most of the deletions of the clearly non-notable stuff have come through, with the exception of Aki (computer game). If someone wanted to do a formal AFD because the sources found are not notable enough, I'd support it. Otherwise, I'm going to do a merge of the remaining articles. The information is all going to be essentially for the same game(play). Randomran (talk) 15:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

This was the result of a discussion at the video games wikiproject. Randomran (talk) 18:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

To understand how the consensus for this article was built, please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_42. Randomran (talk) 17:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

How are they different?
Would someone in the know explain in what way each version of a mahjong game is improved and what different about them, how it's in any way, shape or form economically viable for developers to release like 10-20+ mahjong games per year and still have people buying them. Cause from an outsiders perceptive one would think that one version would be enough for life. I'm sure that there are many other people that has wondered the same thing.
