The result of the proposal was move.
There seems no opposition to the move. The discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and Video Games/Definition dispute is old and inconclusive. The request has been unopposed for several weeks, so I regard consensus as demonstrated. Andrewa 16:19, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Reason: consistency throughout wikipedia. Run! 20:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
What platforms does Pharoah run on? Windows only? What versions of Windows? This seems to me to be relevant to the renaming. It seems that this article has been moved once before, and the current request is to reverse that move. Andrewa 11:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I think the articles should be merged as this one is too crappy to be stand alone. Also the pharoah article would help explain the game. This article should also be elaborated (as to the enhancements in cleopatra) once the merger has occured. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richardmilgate ( talk • contribs) 18:25, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
I don't have a problem with the merger, but the name is unintuitive. I think a better solution would be to keep the merged article at Pharaoh (computer game), and have Cleopatra (computer game) as a redirect. Ξxtreme Unction| yakkity yak 20:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
In most stores today, the games are sold in a combined package as "Pharaoh & Cleopatra". When installed on a Windows XP system, the desktop shortcut has this name as well. That should be good enough to justif the current name. - Husnock 21:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I hope everyone is enjoying the tremendous expansion of the article. When I am finished, this should really be something. Perhaps even it can be placed as a Featured Article Candidate. So, *if* anyone would like to throw a Barstar my way, that would be really cool! :-) - Husnock 06:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
42 fair use images is rather to many. For a comparison Rome:Total War has 5. Geni 14:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
How can you justify that these images are not allowed in the article? They serve to illustrate aspects of the article such as the appearance of the structures in the game. And I havent violated 3RR as far as I know. - Husnock 14:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
After researching the rules, the images might be allowed as "images from a software game" under the clause that they are being used as critical commentary. The critical commentary being to explain the apperance of the structures which appear in the table. Also, all I was asking up above was for people to leave the article alone for now. I wanted to study the rules and see how to fix it. Instead, the mass image deletion campaign continued with indications that the images themselves would be deleted from Wikipedia as a whole, requiring a mass upload again to restore them when and if the article dispute was rsolved. In any event, I am out of reverts for tonight but tomorrow's another day. - Husnock 16:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I have restored the article to its format proir to the removal of the images. I think that WP:3RR has been violated by User:Geni and have placed a warning on his talk page, User:Husnock I suggest that you dont revert any further removals of the images until this matter is resolved as you are also close to the 3RR line. Gnangarra 15:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
To prevent an edit war, I have protected the article. I am also concerned that one user in the dispute has an acknolwedged sockpuppet ( Genidealingwithfairuse). As I am involved I pledge to make no edits to this article while it is protected. - Husnock 16:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I have request protection for the article, to prevent 3rd party editors inflamming the situation. Gnangarra 16:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Proposed sub-articles are:
Possibly moving the main article to Pharaoh and Cleopatra (computer game) might also not be a bad idea.
Any further thoughts on sub-articles? - Husnock 15:06, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone have any problem with me uploading some more screenshots of the game or is there already too many pictures.-- User:Rock2e Talk - Contribs 12:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Image:PharaohGame4.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
It says: "Each Local Deity God expects the same as every other Local Deity. A Patron God expects more than a Local Deity and will often require much more attention." Is this really true? From experience this has sometimes been true, sometimes it's not. Frediculous biggs 16:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes, a Patron God requires much more attention than a Local God. For example, a Temple for a Patron God only covers 375 people where as a temple for a Local God covers 750 people. As you can see, much more has to be built for a Patron God to be kept happy. Visit pharaoh.heavengames.com if you want to see the details about it. PookeyMaster 23:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I would like to make the following proposal:
I would like to propose that the expansion to Pharaoh be made out into a separate article, detailing the expansions features. I do not believe it should be sharing the same article as the main game. GUtt01 ( talk) 11:32, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
