::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! | ::Well, the Wikipedia article says 1988.

::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) | ::All those hits, other than WikiIndex, support 1988.

:::The Wikipedia article was based off one of the more recent versions of ''Strength of Nations''. However, that date came from the title screen, I think. I doubt that del Rio would have bothered to update that, since changing an image would have been harder than just changing a [[wikipedia:String (computer science)|string]] in a program.
