User talk:Applegamer

Hi, Applegamer, Welcome  to Wikipedia! I hope you like this place &mdash; I sure do &mdash; and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and the FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place  on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly. ---

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
 * If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. &mdash; Kf4bdy talk contribs

Eduware
Hello Applegamer and welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent changes on the articles about CRPGs are puzzling to me. I have never heard of Eduware or any of its products before. Can you provide external sources showing why Eduware's CRPGs are significant and should be mentioned specifically in the Chronology of computer role-playing games or Computer role-playing game? I will revert your changes after a few days unless I see evidence. If you find evidence after I revert, revert my changes and put the evidence on the talk page. -- Solberg 07:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Solberg
 * Edit: Nevermind, I decided to go ahead and change the pages now since I've been googling forever and have not found an iota of evidence to suggest Edu-ware or any of its role-playing games were historically significant, certainly not on the level that the other games and companies on the lists are. -- Solberg 07:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Solberg
 * Unfortunately, there's not alot on the web about pre-1980 games. See Space (computer game) and Edu-Ware articles for references. 20:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I checked the articles before removing Edu-ware. I understand that very old games tend to be poorly documented on the web or otherwise but in this case it seems that the reason is because the game is genuinely not notable.  Now, I'm not saying it wasn't / isn't a good game, but it does not seem to fit any of the criteria for being in the Chronology article.  Both the mobygames and imdb entries were added in by Mullich, the developer, and have no votes by regular users.  So it's unlikely it was well known at some point.  By your own admission, it was not very influential (which follows from a lack of popularity usually).  Was it innovative?  Maybe, but surely there would be at least one site out there that explains exactly why?  Being a sci-fi RPG isn't really enough to put it on the list.  You'll notice that Starflight, another rare example of old sci-fi RPG, isn't listed because it is sci-fi but because it used incredibly advanced procedural algorithms for fractals (unprecedented), because it created an entire genre of games, etc.  At best Space is borderline, definitely I think putting Edu-ware on the CRPG companies list is out of the question unless it had many other notable CRPGs but I'm open to adding Space to the Chronology.  Just show me some of what Space innovated.  Here are some examples from other old games: Dungeon (computer game) was the first to use LOS graphics, Rogue (computer game) invented the roguelike genre, Tunnels and Trolls heavily influenced other games like Runequest, etc you can find more on the Chronology of computer role-playing games page.  Note that not all the games have comments-- I haven't had the time to research every game in depth and personally some of the games already on the chronology I don't think belong, but that's another issue that I'm going to deal with later.  -- Solberg 01:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)Solberg

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 23:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
