	== I'm trying to help you ==

	But these problems frustrate me, and that people refuse to think about what I'm saying is even more frustrating. I'm not asking you to take my word for anything. Just read what I have to say and think. I want things to get better. I'm tired of things being so terrible. ] (]) 10:52, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
	:I've read what you said. I understand your point about the risks of using non-libre software. My point is that you are hurting yourself trying to fight a tiny battle when the entire war has been lost a decade ago. Privacy is dead. Everybody carries a surveillance device everywhere, every word you say or type, everywhere you go, all of your data is stored on countless servers. That's how the world goes. Putting disclaimers on stuff will not effect even the tiniest bit of change. The only truly private place is inside your brain (for now). So enjoy the privacy of your thoughts while you still can. <span style="background:black;padding:1px 4px">] ]</span> 11:03, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
	::Believing that certainly helps them, but it doesn't help you. If there really is no way to save ourselves from the oncoming destruction, then at least we can die trying. If you do nothing, you will automatically fail. If you try, there's a chance of success. Even the lowest possibility of succeeding is better than no possibility at all. ] (]) 11:05, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

	== ] + unsalt request ==

	Hello {{u\|Salvidrim!}}, I wanted to ask you about a draft I've been working on. I've seen your responses in AfDs with other YouTube gaming personalities like ] and ] and felt it was pertinent to ask you about this, seeing as how it's another case of an internet personality's notability.

	I was wondering if you could check out this draft of Vinesauce. The draft had been declined multiple times last year due to a lack of notability; editors kept adding either unsourced material or poorly sourced information leading it to be rejected. For the record, was what it looked liked before I fixed the draft with new RSs. These past few weeks I've been rewriting the draft with much better sources, mostly from ] and I wanted to ask if you could make an unofficial review/read of it. If you want to see the best sources in the draft, check refs #2 ('']''), #5 ('']''), #16 ('']''), and #20 ('']''). I think there should be enough sources for the group to pass ] and ], but what are your thoughts?

	Also, since you're an administrator, may you please unsalt the ] title if you do find them notable enough? This way submitting it via AfC would be much easier. The original admin who salted it doesn't have admin privileges anymore, so I figured messaging someone who edits gaming pages would be apt at doing this. I feel this is appropriate given that more secondary sources do exist for them beyond the ones in the draft, enough to establish their notability.

	Thanks,
	] (]) 06:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
	*I also haven't been an admin for a couple of years now. As for the draft, there's some nice SIGCOV but most of the references are not ''about'' Vinesauce as a group or about Vinny specifically, so that might put a damper on things. <span style="background:black;padding:1px 4px">] ]</span> 10:34, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
	*:Oh, my apologies then. And yes, that was honestly one concern I also had as well; there wasn't a secondary source I could find yet solely based on their history like the Game Grumps. I figured that focusing on how outlets described their videos would be enough to suffice per WP:WEB. Anyways, thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. ] (]) 23:06, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

No deadline! Thank you! Take your time. The articles are small: Maude Jacques and Cindy Ouellet. I sometimes forget that not all Canadians can speak English very well. But these two can. In fact, Maude was translating for me in Beijing. I tried auto-translating one once, but they delete unless the French is perfect, and mine's terrible. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:17, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Game hint lines

I came across an article in GamePro about live game counselors and 900 hint lines which has one or two useful pieces of info. The trouble is, I can't seem to find an article on Misplaced Pages where such information might appropriately go. Any suggestions?--Martin IIIa (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

There's probably enough coverage to convert Nintendo Power Line into a broader concept of Video Game hint lines, of which the most famous was the Nintendo Power Line: Kotaku, A.V. Club, the line was revived for the NES Mini launch (Engadget, CNet, Polygon), Wikia (unusable as a source but can be used as a base for research), featured in The Wizard, that time when one number was bought by an sex company (N4G, NBC, Wired), Gamasutra, Felicia Day biography, Geek.com, Sierra Hint Line (this is an archive of 1989 Sierra Magazine), Sega, Konami also had their own Hint Lines. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 20:55, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
