Tabeltop game drafts

[edit]

Hey there! :) Thanks for the hit on Europe Aflame. I've been building a fair number of drafts for tabletop games from the late 1980s/early 1990s; if you can find the time would you mind seeing if there are good hits for any of them so I can also move them to article space? These are redlinks, but you can click on them and it will lead to the actual draft:

International Cricket (board game), Topple (game), Jump the Queue, Can't Stop Express, Thomas the Tank Engine Game, Liar's Dice (Milton Bradley), Ea$y Money, Excalibur (board game), Modern Naval Battles, Counter Intelligence (board game), Hookipa (board game), ASG Baseball, Clue Quest, Tomorrow the World (board game), Hitler's Last Gamble, Full Metal Planète, Traber Derby Spiel, A la carte (game), Favoriten (board game), Echelon (board game), Death By Diet, Temple of the Beastmen

I am going to start more next week, but these are the ones I have so far and want to get into article space. :) BOZ (talk) 17:10, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I just did an extensive search but here is what I found. Timur9008 21:11, 25 December 2021(UTC)
Awesome, thank you! :) I will get as much use out of these as I can. BOZ (talk) 22:24, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Allright, so I completed the other half today! Again, the redlinks are in draft space:

Liftoff!, Chamelequin, Clubhouse Baseball, How to Launch Your Own Board Game, 5th Fleet: Modern Naval Combat in the Indian Ocean, Minden Playing Card Cricket, Dicke Kartoffeln, Grosz Jakosa, Karawane (board game), Cash (card game), Rise and Fall (board game), Coup (board game), Star Wars: Escape From The Death Star, Flux (board game), Roller Coaster Hippo, Rettet Die Umwelt, Wer Hat Mehr?, March Madness (board game), Cover Up (board game), Römer (card game), Fidchell: Celtic Chess, Murphy (board game), Shell Shock!

If you can help with any additional sources that would be great. :) I may have a different list I would ask you to look through, but if you are interested then I will save that for next year. ;) BOZ (talk) 19:02, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will do these next year :) I want to relax today and tomorrow. Timur9008 21:35, 30 December 2021(UTC)

Hey! Only found these. Timur9008 03:19, 1 January 2022(UTC)

Hey, thanks! I'll take it. :) Happy New Year! BOZ (talk) 15:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Game redirects

[edit]

Hi there! :) Thanks for your help so far, even a little bit is a big help. I have an even longer list of articles that got redirected a while back - most of them are game supplements, so I'm not sure if there would be much in the way of newspaper coverage for them. But, a few of them were separate games or other books, so would you mind taking a look to see if any of these got reviews?:

If you don't mind taking a look through the longer list, I can post it in segments over a week or so. :) BOZ (talk) 17:18, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Happy new year :D Found nothing sadly. Timur9008 20:50, 1 January 2022(UTC)
Ah, OK, thanks for checking. If you don't mind looking over the rest then I could post them in batches and you could review at your convenience? There are about as many of these as there were in my previous section above, although there will likely be fewer successful hits (if any), but still I feel it may be worth checking because you never know. :) BOZ (talk) 19:51, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If not, that's OK. :) BOZ (talk) 15:09, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! :) I'm going to be busy this year. But feel free to drop them here I will have a look.Timur9008 17:14, 2 January 2022(UTC)
No problem, thanks for all your help! BOZ (talk) 15:35, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning! OK, whenever you get a chance, here is the first grouping. The link after the name is the last good version of the article before redirecting, in case any of the publication or other info helps with a search. I'm not expecting a very high hit rate, possibly none at all, but I do appreciate any look you are able to give, whenever you can!:

Chronicles of War[3], Regency Combat Vehicle Guide[4], Sky Point Adventures[5], Mekton Zeta Tactical Display[6], The Guilded Lilly[7], The 24-Hour War[8], Doom of the Singing Star[9], Starship Lay-Out Sheets[10], Warbor-Parn[11], Outlanders (Necromunda)[12], Northwest Passage (Cyberpunk)[13], Ways and Means (Underground)[14], Mekton Wars 1: Invasion Terra[15], More Excuses to Kill Things[16], Beyond the Wall: Pictland & The North[17], Chessboards: The Planes of Possibilities[18], CORPS Worldbook 1992[19], Citybook VI: Up Town[20], Star Trek: The Next Generation CCG Official Player's Guide[21]

Just ping me when you are done, absolutely no rush at all. :) I don't have any other big lists like this (except for my list of hundreds of games, which I will never ask any one person to look at by themselves) but after these I can't think of any lists even close to this size. BOZ (talk) 14:49, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Found nothing sadly. But feel free to drop everything here :) Timur9008 03:22, 4 January 2022(UTC)
OK, thanks for checking! BOZ (talk) 01:25, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the next batch:

The Road (Task Force Games)[22], Face of the Enemy (Star Frontiers)[23], Car Wars Expansion Kit 10[24], Rhand: Morningstar Missions[25], RDF Sourcebook[26], Adventurer Sheets: Human[27], Adventurer Sheets: Nonhuman[28], Menglana[29], The Robotech RPG Book Five: Invid Invasion[30], Pursuit![31], C.L.O.W.N.[32], Neutral Ground (Champions)[33], Atlas Unleashed[34], Boat Wars[35], The Car Wars Compendium[36], The DOA Sector Travelogue[37], The People's Glorious Revolutionary Adventure[38], More Songs About Food Vats[39], Wyrm's Footnotes[40], Pen-Latol's World[41], Spacefarers Guide to Planets: Sector One[42]

Let me know if you find anything for these. BOZ (talk) 01:25, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Found only this. Timur9008 04:07, 4 January 2022(UTC)
OK, cool, thanks! I can probably get a little something out of that. :) BOZ (talk) 02:33, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the rest, whenever you want to take a look!:

City of the Sacred Flame[43], TnT (magazine)[44], London by Night (supplement)[45], Daredevil Adventures 3: Supernatural Thrillers Issue[46], Enemies III[47], Adventure Pack K1: The Empire of Karo[48], Treasure Vault[49], Battle Above the Earth[50], Triad (supplement)[51], Lightning Bolts & Lasers[52], Star Fleet Battles Reinforcements[53], Captif d'Yvoire[54], Car Wars Expansion Set 6[55], Tricorder/Starship Sensors Interactive Display[56], Citadel Compendium[57], Star Fleet Battles Supplement 2: X-Ships[58], Star Fleet Battles Volume III[59], The Palladium Book of Exotic Weapons[60], Creatures & Treasures[61], To Tackle the T.O.T.E.M.[62], Convoy (Car Wars)[63], Devil's Domain[64]

About the Detective conan entry on highest-grossing media article

[edit]

Which one do you think needs a better source exactly? I thought they were all in line with other entries

Manga sales. same as others

Merchandise sales, sourced by Charabiz

Box office. sourced in the wikipedia article other anime box office also link to WillsEdtior777 (talk) 18:44, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It said in your edit you used an unreliable source. I'm guessing this [65]? Timur9008 (talk) 21:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that's for merchandise, the source is not the site itself but the pictures on it, which are Charabiz data for the years mentioned. It's reliable/confirmed information. WillsEdtior777 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:32, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to read it then. Not sure sure why it said it's a depricated/unreliable source. Timur9008 21:46, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah its weird it got tagged as that. Its used in multiple articles already and nothing changed since then. I'll re add it. WillsEdtior777 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:55, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers

[edit]

Not Wikipedia related, but since you have access to newspapers.com I wanted to know if you are willing to do me a small favor? I have three or four old newspaper clippings that are undated, so I have to ask if you wouldn't mind seeing if you could find the publication date for them if I post links to the clippings here? BOZ (talk) 00:34, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! I will have a look. Timur9008 11:08, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks, it is three. :) If you can find out what date and in which newspaper these were published, that would be tremendously helpful! They might not all be on newspapers.com, but let me know which ones you do find!
  • Ruth's first husband is wounded: [66] probably published in a Milwaukee newspaper? My information says he was wounded on 10/1/1943 and died on 10/3/1943, so it would be published sometime around then.
  • She remarries: [67] This could have been published somewhere in Wisconsin, Tennessee, or Florida, I assume. I believe their marriage date is 1/2/1945.
  • Her second husband dies: [68] I believe he died on 10/18/1960 and I am told that this was published in the Jackson Sun in TN.

Thanks! BOZ (talk) 10:36, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Found all three :) [69], [70], [71] Timur9008 16:39, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sweet, thanks, that was quick. :) I have some leftover obits that I needed to search for from when I was still working on my family's genealogy. I basically paused that soon after the pandemic started; I used to go to the microfilm room at my city's main library branch, but I went back there yesterday and there is no microfilm room anymore. :( They said that I would have to make an appointment and tell them what which reels ahead of time that I want to look at - sounds like a hassle! Instead, I am going to request the librarians to look for them individually one at a time for me and see how far I get! There are less than 10, so we will see how that goes. BOZ (talk) 14:15, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I got as much as I can out of my library, so if you can help me see what you can find for the rest of these, that would be most appreciated. :) Most of these should be in Chicago area newspapers, but some might be found elsewhere.

  • Louise Satow (4/15/1850 - 2/15/1879)
  • William Charles Sibley (4/15/1888 IL - 2/1/1967 Pinellas co FL)
  • Ernest/Ernst Heinz (8/20/1869 Germany - 4/24/1941 Highland Park IL)
  • Virginia Zimmerman Price (12/26/1907 IL – 10/8/1980 Orlando FL)
  • Harrison Verdi Price (8/11/1916 Muskegon Heights MI – 8/30/1985 Orlando FL)
  • Edwin A. Samson (9/21/1903 Chicago – 11/26/1975 Chicago)
  • August Joseph Lensing (4/7/1894 - 12/9/1971) – was a WWI vet

Any of these you can find would be great!  :) BOZ (talk) 02:06, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Found nothing. Timur9008 05:39, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, darn. :( OK, thanks for checking! BOZ (talk) 10:14, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I've got one that I was wondering if you would check for me. I was looking for the story of a Chicago court appearance detailing testimony from my ancestor Sophia/Sophie as she was divorcing her abusive first husband Casper Dappen (or Dapper). I feel like that would have been in the late 1870s or early 1880s most likely, because she married my ancestor somewhere in the mid-1880s. BOZ (talk) 23:30, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only found this [72] Timur9008 (talk) 00:11, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks, that's definitely her. I kind of figured the article I'm looking for would be in the Inter-Ocean, so it would have been published not too long after this notice. My great-grandmother's older sister was born in November, so I'm sure she was already seeing my ancestor Charles "Chas" Markowsky when she filed for divorce and they got married as soon as it was final. The article about the actual court case definitely supported her allegations of cruelty, as I remember it. BOZ (talk) 02:14, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I found a note to self saying that the description of her courtroom appearance was published in the Chicago Tribune on 3/5/1888 (and apparently reprinted in several papers from as far away as Kansas, Kentucky, and Vermont), do you have access to that? BOZ (talk) 21:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
nope Timur9008 (talk) 03:28, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you see anything more for Doug Kovacs? BOZ (talk) 03:28, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found nothing. Timur9008 15:55, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Timur9008

Thank you for creating Dread Hunger.

User:LunaEatsTuna, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Nice work! I have gone ahead and marked this article as reviewed, however is it possible to expand on it at all? Particularly Gameplay could use more explanation if possible. As I am not a videogamer and unfamiliar with gaming jargon I do not think I would be the best person to do it. Thanks, and happy editing

Bio draft pages

[edit]

Hi! :) I have another project if you don't mind taking a look? Most of these will be no, but sometimes you do find a surprisingly good hit, so do you see any good sources for any of the pages I have at User:BOZ/Draft pages? For the two redlinks, if you do happen to find something I can take them to WP:REFUND. You already looked at Doug Kovacs recently, but I don't recall if I have asked about any of the others.

Hello Kitty sales chart

[edit]

I would suggest you move the information in the sales chart in the Hello Kitty article into the notes of List of highest-grossing media franchises instead. Wikipedia articles shouldn't be using other articles as sources, so the data should be in the list article itself anyway. The only other article about a media franchise I found that had a similar chart was the Anpanman article, where it was created by the same sock of a banned user that created the one in the Hello Kitty article.
