Not that it matters, but a shot across the bow may have been an IP edit to this page that changed the year for Strength of Nations, the video game, from 1988 to 1987. Subtle vandalism.

:There were multiple versions of the game, so who knows what the most recent one was. But yeah, I did suspect that of being subtle vandalism when it happened. The earliest year that the game existed should probably be used.

::Well, the Wikipedia article says 1988. Must be so, right? <nowiki>{{cn}}?</nowiki> Of course, the Wikipedia article has no references, only wikilinks. However, Israel del Rio is not hard to find. Maybe he knows. However, the web evidence is quite strong. Many references to 1988. Googling ["strength of nations" 1987 "Israel del Rio"] came up with 5 hits, the first of which is, of course, this WikiIndex article. Hey, must be so! | |||
::All those hits, other than WikiIndex, support 1988. While it's possible that the IP simply made a mistake, it's more likely you were pranked. And it worked. You weren't sure, so you left it, and the page was protected into the Wrong Version. Page protection was only needed because of edits by [[User:Sophie Wilder|Sophie Wilder]], who, of course, doesn't give a fig about accuracy here. Otherwise it could easily have been semiprotected. I'll ask for that. Frankly, the page could use more clean-up. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 12:52, 14 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
