Topic # 33229 posted on 4-MAY-2009 10:17 open user's web page send private message user's profile

Heya

I have a request ... a while ago i started the poleconomy wiki page .

Unfortunately its being reviewed for deletion - the main reason being there are not enough citations / references to external documents ... i've looked but come up blank .

If anyone has any other sources - that are not already in the article - beit printed or online ... please let me know / make the edits to the page !!

This game is a part of Kiwi history... so many of my friend's families owned it when i was growing up . It was exported to Aust / Canada / SAfrica / UK ... therefore it must have a rich untapped history somewhere .



i wonder if aliens wonder if aliens wonder .

Wow that's freaky... My partner and I were walking down Jackson St, Petone, on the weekend and saw this board game on a table outside a 2nd hand shop. We both remembered it but couldn't remember what the game was like at all. I'll have to have a read of the wiki :)

Great game. Loved playing it as a kid. Pity the cult is looking to delete your article. Looks quite well written, and yeah, I guess good sources are hard to find. On the AFD page it has this gem...

Only sources are Board Game Geek (editable by users, not a reliable source), the company site and a site trying to sell copies of the game. Need multiple independent and reliable sources giving nontrivial coverage in a way demonstrating actual notability to have a Wikipedia article. DreamGuy (talk) 23:34, 1 May 2009 (UTC)



I thought that was quite funny, coming from a Wikipedia fanboi.

yeah... i'm a big wikiFan... but that "(editable by users, not a reliable source)" made me laugh a bit...

...but i guess that would be a bit like Wikipedia referencing Wikipedia ?

Bruce Hatherley & his creation... If anyone has any info... lemme know

cheers :1

Loved this game when I was little. Still have it.
