About Nintendo edit

I apologise for not linking to the relevant section on the talk page, but I ran out of space in the edit summary. Talk:Nintendo#GA status is the section in question. Lincher stated that:

  • Currently, Nintendo's main competitors on the gaming front are Sony and Microsoft. shouldn't be used as there is no time in an encyclopedia.
  • upcoming Wii. same as above.

Do you think there is some way that the relevant information could be reworded to fit, instead of merely removed? It does seem like it would be noteable to mention Nintendo's main competition. Ex-Nintendo Employee 09:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps we could replace "Currently" with "As of 2006". Do you think that would work? --Lumina83 00:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think that's a terrific idea. Ex-Nintendo Employee 06:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I've never heard of such a game. You may want to ask the people at DOSGames.com's Find Old Games forum (don't worry, you don't need to register to post in Find Old Games). --Lumina83 01:48, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Microsoft just pushed a patch to my Mac that brought Word up to 11.3.5, build date 070413. Maybe that one will fix your crashes ;-) ?

Orphaned non-free image File:Newcastle Falcons (basketball, 2022).png edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Newcastle Falcons (basketball, 2022).png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:33, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
