:You are talking about the Wikipedia list, correct?  That piece of information remains unsourced, and as Wikipedia is a wiki just like ours, it's possible that some troll could have just posted their own name or something, or even a good-faith user who found another unreliable source on the Internet.  We'd have to find another, more reliable source and use that.
:EDIT:  Seeing as the Apple IIGS games were removed anyway due to being unofficial fan games, I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.  Just keep this in mind in the future, and make sure to cite your sources (and in case you're not sure how to do that, check out [[MarioWiki:Citations]]).  Thanks! -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 15:34, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
== RE: Dr. Mario proposal ==
I haven't voted on it because I don't feel strongly about it any particular way. I was going to wait and see what further arguments were made, but frankly I feel the arguments on both sides have been pretty weak so far and haven't swayed me one way or the other. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 18:44, July 27, 2019 (EDT)
==AlphaDream citation==
Basically, Jack of all Controllers have proven themselves to be unreliable. Firstly, they only appeared all over social randomly with their news article, so unlike a big news site like Nintendo Life or IGN, they need to actually give proof, or at least say, that they have insider information to be believable. The tweet that they cite for Alpha being bankrupt links back to their own Twitter (or at least, should, but while [https://twitter.com/JackControllers/status/1179453947700011008 the link] is dead it is clear where it is meant to go). Finally, look at [https://twitter.com/AlphaFoxWarfare/status/1181246902458814464 this tweet and Glowsquid's comments]. It's not for  the exact thing you're referencing, but still something similar, and it shows how the news site fails to provide sources and gives wrong comparisons. Plus, according to Glowsquid, the editor in chief blocked him, something rather immature of a major part of a news site to do over someone rightfully protesting their tweet. You can ask for proof if you want to. Basically, I don't think that Jack of all Controllers is the best site to trust or cite. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 15:57, October 9, 2019 (EDT)
:I see.  I changed the source to link to the tweet directly (which actually wasn't from their twitter), but I don't know anything about their credibility so you might want to check that. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 16:11, October 9, 2019 (EDT)
::My mistake, the tweet in question that they cited mentioned their news article, but didn't cite it, although the rest about what I said about Jack of all Controllers being unreliable is still true. However, the tweet in question is made by someone who apparently has a lot of clout so I can be more confidant in keeping that source. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 16:18, October 9, 2019 (EDT)
:::[https://web.archive.org/web/20191002175614/https:/twitter.com/JackControllers/status/1179453947700011008 This] was the linked tweet in question; he was indeed replying to that tweet, not citing it.  Thanks for the info about JoAC, won't cite them in the future, but I think the current source is pretty credible. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 16:45, October 9, 2019 (EDT)
