2048 (video game)

 * ... that 2048 (screenshot pictured) has been called Candy Crush "for math nerds"?
 * Reviewed: Saint Leonard Catholic Church (Madison, Nebraska)
 * ALT 1:... that 2048 (screenshot pictured) has been called "Candy Crush for math nerds"? Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 12:31, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT 2:... that The Wall Street Journal called 2048 (screenshot pictured) "almost like Candy Crush for math geeks"?

(Going back through the refs shows that it's math geeks, not math nerds.) Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 05:42, 28 March 2014 (UTC) Created by Limesave (talk), Supernerd11 (talk), Starceus (talk), and Qwfp (talk). Nominated by Bobamnertiopsis (talk) at 00:31, 26 March 2014 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Newish (just outside the five day limit but whatever), long enough, "within policy", no copyvio found via spotcheck (no tool), QPQ not needed since nominated by an outside editor (but done anyway). Would have been easier to revise the original hook than to make alts. The remaining hook and article need to specify where the quote comes from if it's worth quoting. Anyone can call anything anything—it relies completely on who's doing the calling. Please ping me if I don't respond. czar ♔  04:18, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * It was the Wall Street Journal, I just added that in. Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 05:24, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed, I think. Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 22:25, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hook is just about ready. Few things: (1) Titles of newspapers/periodicals should be italicized in the article, (2) What's up with the wonky capitalization in the Epoch Times article? Makes the source look unprofessional, (3) Why isn't the original WSJ piece cited directly? (4) What's up with the Rules section? Either needs to be cited to to be scrapped. czar ♔  02:14, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Wall Street Journal italicized & directly quoted, almost all Epoch Times refs are gone (a couple I couldn't find anywhere else), rules section gone :-( since no ref other than source code could be found. Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 15:51, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg gtg. Skimming again, note that punctuation almost always goes outside the quotation marks (in the WP MOS, at least). czar ♔  17:10, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
