Importing / Reprinting RPGs

I don't see any references to the problems that GW got themselves into, regarding reprinting/importing other companies games to the UK. As I understand it, other companies made a deal with GW to reprint their games, and GW would then pay them the money. However, GW understated the number of games sold, and therefore paid the companies less than they should have. This, as I understand it, is what drove GW's move north, their abandonment of reprinting/importing other companies games and their focus on GW games/materials/etc.

If you can find any reliable references to such actions, by all means add them. I've personally never heard that, but that's hardly surprising - if it is true, it's not something they'd brag about in White Dwarf. Darkson (Yabba Dabba Doo!) 22:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

thats probably a hard one to find info on, would be nice to have some more on the earlier history of GW 90% seems to be a long list of their "achievements" more than anything. --71.205.253.125 (talk) 02:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

removal of comments

I have reverted this edit in which another user refactored my comments and removed their old comments to which a number of users have replied. This edit was a breach of talk page etiquette - if anybody wants to retract old comments just strike them and leave a note on this page. WP:TALK explains that removing old comments, to which others have replied is disruptive as other users will not be able to follow the converstaion on the talk page. Please review WP:TALK for further information and details of process and site policy in this regard--Cailil 14:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Cailil's constant involvement here

I'm a little concerned that there is a significant swell of opinion that some of the old criticisms section was encyclopedic, relevant and correct, and yet Cailil seems to be on a one-man crusade to bend the rules into getting it all removed. I have no position either way on the removed material, but it seems to me that the original research and NPOV rules - which, let's be clear, tend towards the noninclusion of information - are risking misuse in this case.

I think this deserves reexamination, especially if we can find someone other than Cailil to champion the removal cause. No offence intended, but the onesidedness of this debate, and Cailil's willingess to summarily remove possibly good information, concern me. Cailil, your case would be stronger if you were not so very notably alone in this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.95.68 (talk) 16:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Except it's not, and the information removed, as said, failed Misplaced Pages's policies on Verifiability and Neutral Point Of View. SirFozzie (talk) 16:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Quite the opposite of a one-crusade really, IP 91.84.95.68. This issue and the same ad-hominem remarks were made by User:RichSatan and were shown to be false. As can be seen in the archives. An RFC was opened and by its end 4 other editors all agreed with my position that if the "comments and criticism" section cannot be sourced it has to go. This is site policy, not my opinion. Also the fact that I haven't edited this article in 2008 at all, belies your assertion that I am constantly involved here. In fact my last edit was on December 10th 2007. If you have a problem with site policy raise it at the appropriate pages. However if this incivility and assumption of bad faith continues targeted at me I will bring it to to sysop attention again.--Cailil 18:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Cailil, I don't consider that I've been uncivil, and your quickness to sword on this point suggests ever more strongly to me that you should choose to contribute to other Misplaced Pages articles than this. However, if I must be more blunt - you cannot act in bad faith then use the AGF policy to excuse your actions. Again, I'm not intimating that this is what you're doing, but you must bear in mind that simply stating the rules does not necessarily mean that you are following them. You complain that many people are accusing you of acting in bad faith, which leads to the simple assumption that you are acting in bad faith. I would welcome admin involvement in this matter - again, you're trying to use it as a threat, which is not the way you should be behaving.

To put it bluntly: your contributions are being widely criticised because you are not contributing correctly, and this cannot be excused by your encyclopedic knowledge of the rules. The best thing for you to do would simply be to walk away from involvement in this article. If you are interested solely in helping Misplaced Pages, there is no downside to doing so.
