Thanks for your creation of the draft! Though, beware of some unreliable sources, have a look at here for a guide on which refs are reliable! Many thanks! VickKiang ( talk) 22:47, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Hey there! We have met before while you worked on drafts, but I am reaching out to say hi. :) I'm glad that you are working on building up new articles for board and table games, and also working on other existing drafts to help get them into article space. A good place to keep an eye on would be Category:Draft-Class board and table game articles if you're looking for more active drafts to work on. A far more daunting task (but one that is, in my opinion, absolutely worthwhile) would be to see if any of the games at User:BOZ/Games deletions can be restored from redirection or deletion - if you see anything there that you feel would be worth spending your time working on, let me know. :) BOZ ( talk) 15:06, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for touching up
Isolation (board game), my appreciated. :) I was wondering if you had anything you could do to improve articles like
London Cabbie,
Quantum,
Image, or
Oh-Wah-Ree?

I started Marvel Super Dice today. :) BOZ ( talk) 17:34, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
I'm back on Games magazine, they did a lot of board and tabletop games so I might have a lot more to contribute in that area! I started Blockword, Shogun (1976 board game), and Track (game) today. :) BOZ ( talk) 18:10, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
I was able to successfully get Password (game) restored and built up today. :) BOZ ( talk) 13:28, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey, mind if I keep you busy for a little while? :) A few years ago I went through the entire run of
The Space Gamer and added reviews to everything that got reviewed in the magazine (which, I will tell you, is hundreds of reviews) before going on and doing the same with other magazines (all of which had far fewer reviews). Anyhow, most of the articles have grown over time to include reviews from other publications, but some have yet to advance beyond that one review. Is there anything you can do to improve any of these? Even if that is just to find out that reviews exist and note them on the talk page as you did before. There are a lot so you can stop me at any time, including immediately. ;) For starters, from the oldest days of the magazine, all of these were published in the mid to late 1970s:
Star Probe,
The War of the Worlds II,
The Siege of Minas Tirith,
Starguard!,
Starship & Empire,
Starship: The Game of Space Contact,
Rift Trooper. Infobox, copyedit, additional sourcing, anything you can do would be appreciated. :)

Do you see anything for Allegiance: War of Factions? BOZ ( talk) 08:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
Hey there. :) This is a little project for whenever, if you feel like taking a look. I have four games that I had one review for each, but not more than that, so they were deleted at AFD. If you see more sources out there for any of these, maybe we can get them restored? Let me know! They are Flintloque ( archived), Passage to Cathay ( archived), Star Empires (card game) ( archived), and Warlock (board game) ( archived). BOZ ( talk) 21:35, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
I fixed up the article about the Mad Magazine board game and got it restored, but the Mad card game article was one deleted by PROD, then restored and moved to Draft:The Mad Magazine Card Game and eventually deleted again due to inactivity. I'll work on this one myself eventually, but if you see anything to build it up I say have a go at it. :) BOZ ( talk) 16:46, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Á la Carte (game award), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hey there, just noticed your user page notes a few articles translated from German pages. If you were interested in doing more of those, I will note that User:BOZ/BTG reviews noticeboard has a number of articles listed there with a review that do have articles in German. :)
There are probably more of them on my list that do have German language articles, but those are a good place to start if you had additional reviews for any of them. :) BOZ ( talk) 01:52, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Your addition to
Skull (card game) has been removed or altered, as it appears to
closely paraphrase a copyrighted source. Limited close paraphrasing or
quotation is appropriate within reason, so long as the material is clearly
attributed in the text. However, longer paraphrases which are not attributed to their source may constitute
copyright violation or
plagiarism, and are not acceptable on Wikipedia. Such content cannot be hosted here for
legal reasons; please do not post it on any page, even if you plan to fix it later. You may use external websites or printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If you own the copyright to the text, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the copyright but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:14, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
