On Free spin
Hey there, welcome to Wikipedia. After reading the article you recently created, Free spin I think it may be better suited if it was merged into the Slot machine article, as I don't see much reason to maintain an independent article covering the same subject.

(Free Spin)

Hello,

I have read your message about merging the Free Spin article into the Slot Machine article. (I hope i am using the correct format for this answer, and if i am doing anything wrong, please inform me.) I thought about writing it directly into the Slot Machine article, but decided to create a seperate entry for two reasons:

1 - Free Spin is just one of the many features of slot games. I thought that without mentioning other features (and symbols) of slot games in detail, adding only this feature will be... odd.

2 - The slot machine article is a perfectly written one and i was unsure in which section to add the info (or how to merge both articles). I didn't want to mess up, simply put.

But if you think a merging is required, i will do my best - no problem.

Cheers,

 * Hey Necropsie, it's good to see your rationale behind the page. And yes, making your first edits as a new editor can be very daunting, and I definitely see where you're coming from trying to avoid messing up the original article - it seems like there isn't a place to add the content in. Perhaps there should be a 'features' section in the main article - seems strange how the main article has plenty of content about statistics and legislation regarding the machines but little on its actual operation.


 * I'll see what I can do to incorporate your article into the main article. It will probably involve bold edits. I'll get back to you!  Nott Nott &#124;talk 10:41, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

(Slot Machine)

Greetings,

As you can see, i have merged all of my articles into the (Slot Machine). However, i think that a separate article is needed for "Online Slot Games". Currently, it is just another header in the Slot Machine article, but the subject is "big enough" to deserve a separate entry. Adding all of the features of online slot games into the (Slot Machine) will just make the article more long and confusing. So i offer to move the Online Slot Games section to a separate entry and add features, symbols and all of the necessary information under this new article. Or, maybe a separate "Online Slot Game Features" category is needed. I would like to ask for your advice on this matter.

 * Hey Necropsie, great to know you're still committed to improving this group of articles. I think your efforts would be way better off in the already existing Online gambling article - there isn't too much on slot machines here at the moment. Add a heading to this article and get started I'd say. Do bear in mind WP:DUE as a guideline for writing - if something related to the subject doesn't have overly significant independent sources then it shouldn't be covered in too much detail, rather just a passing mention. This is good to bear in mind related to the 'features' of slot games - just some general coverage of ideas should be good.


 * I look forward to seeing what changes you can make to the article. Added to my watchlist - Nott Nott &#124;talk Notify with &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 17:32, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Greetings,

We already discussed the situtiaton of Free Spin article with NottNott, and decided to merge it into another article. I am copying his message below:

Shall i edit the article and remove the template?

 * As it stands at the moment, deleting the standalone 'Free Spin' article is probably the right course of action for now.


 * Necropsie, . I know the content I've added is much much less that the original article, but this is because we have to be careful to avoid original research. For example, if there isn't a source to back up the claim that Free spins are probably the most well-known and favored feature of modern slot games then it can't really be included in the article. This is unfortunate in your case considering the effort you put into the original article, but we must be careful to stick to editing guidelines to produce verifiable articles.


 * I hope this doesn't put you off of making contributions - all great editors start out making errors in good faith. If you have independent sources online or from books, you may want to read WP:Citing sources so that you can add the content to the main article. If you have any questions in the future please don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers  Nott Nott &#124;talk 11:21, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Greetings,

No worries, i can see your reason behind this. I will work on the original Slot Machine article and try to add a "features" section and talk about special symbols and general rules in there.

Cheers,

Greetings,

I noticed that you removed wiktionary references and the definition part too. Is there a problem with them? I will restore the definition part but will remove the external link and its reference, if that is the only problem.
