This article's external links do not comply with WP:EL and have been tagged since 2009. The official website does comply with WP:EL so I have left that in place. Some of the other links may be useful as sources for information in the article so I have moved them here temporarily so people can check to see if they are useful. Please remove each link from the list as it is checked. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 23:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

http://www.twingalaxies.com and http://www.facebook.com/twingalaxies -- both indicate the site will be coming back up soon, probably sometime in April. --Shawn K. Quinn (talk) 21:04, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protected edit request on 29 March 2014 edit

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Twin Galaxies appears to be coming back, as announced on the official web site http://www.twingalaxies.com/ I would like to edit the second paragraph in the opening section to reflect this, something like:

"In late 2013, after more than 30 years as the preeminent record-keeper of video game world records, Twin Galaxies appeared to be defunct, with its website and record database no longer accessible. However, in late March 2014, Jace Hall announced that Twin Galaxies is in the process of being transferred to himself; describing efforts to revitalize the organization and addressing rumors."

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 14:57, 29 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Seriously? How much more reliable than Twin Galaxies' own website do you want? --Shawn K. Quinn (talk) 05:39, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Twin Galaxies. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080723195740/http://gamers.guinnessworldrecords.com/aboutus/twin_galaxies.aspx to http://gamers.guinnessworldrecords.com/aboutus/twin_galaxies.aspx

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Please discuss major section changes here prior to continuing. Before removing information on the United States National Video Game Team, provide reasons why it should be removed from this article. That information has been here for years. Datagod (talk) 15:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

This article is in a sorry state. It's almost entirely sourced to posts from Twin Galaxies' website. Twin Galaxies hosting unlicensed copyrighted content is their own business but WP avoids linking to it whenever possible. (It doesn't help that all of those links are dead now.) If the content in this article does not have full citations (online or offline), it needs to be removed—full stop. If anyone is stewarding this article, now would be the time to do it, or otherwise you're looking at peeling the relevant texts out of the edit history to cite in the future. If anyone watching is affiliated with the website/postings (and based off of the history of TG-affiliated editors on WP, I imagine you're around, though you need also declare that affiliation), my recommendation would be to dump the fair use news clippings in a single database/folder so that others can verify the contents in the future, even if WP doesn't link it directly. czar 19:22, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

It's very outdated and nothing about it makes any sense, not to mention its written entirely on their own website. What is the point of the page? It's not like anybody's fixing anything. 216.251.179.2 (talk) 19:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
