Merge?

There is an on-going discussion of whether this and other Yahoo! services should remain separate, or be merged into the main article on Yahoo!; please contribute at Talk:Yahoo! - IMSoP 15:41, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Since it seems to have been a long time since this came up, and Literati was released independently for Windows and Palm anyway, I removed the merge tags. --SevereTireDamage 03:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think the pages should be merged, since the articales are being specialized and expanded, therefore they are getting longer and longer. I think the links on the main Yahoo! article are enough. (Shariq 00:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Yahoo! Games.PNG

Image:Yahoo! Games.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Yeah, WP:SUMMARY suggests that they should not be merged. The main article would be utterly enormous if all sub-articles like this were merged back in. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 22:24, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pool game

Yahoo Games provides or provided an online pool simulator that was popular last time I looked at it (about 5 or so years ago). It does not appear on this list. If it is added please notify me or WT:CUE. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 22:24, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Two sections with just numbers added last year?

The titles are in Japanese as well. This is the only edit from that IP address and I'm not sure why it hasn't been removed. lukini (talk | contribs) 20:04, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
