I saw your list actually.

Some good points to be had if I had my way

A potential silly question regarding this rule:

Rule XI (The Wikipedia Rule): To be qualified as a legitimate nomination, each pick must have their own Wikipedia page that was started earlier than the two years prior to the start of this game. As an example, a Wikipedia page started January 6th, 2023 would not be eligible for the 2025 game however a page started December 17th, 2022 would be eligible. Any picks that don't comply with this rule will be void. The sub will not replace any ineligible picks. Players are responsible for their own lists.
---

What happens if you're considering a person for your list and you can see that their original wiki page was created a significant enough time ago to be eligible, but there's now a "newer/current" version which shows a creation date within the last 2 years?

When you look into the edits & page history, it still shows all the edits from what's now classed as the "old version" going back over a decade - is that suitable to say that the page was started long enough ago?

is that suitable to say that the page was started long enough ago?

I would say yes, but it is worth asking.

Alternatively, I may have broken something when trying to find info and it just wasn't liking me at the time

Who is it and I’ll look into it

Who is it and I’ll look into it

Another fun one I had is that at the start of the month I started putting together a short list of names from those I added to a note pad throughout the year, along with those who hadn't died this year - when I started looking at my list this morning one of those names I had only just added a few weeks ago has already unfortunately passed away

 

[ClarkeM]

cats_09 feel free to PM this one through, on the surface it looks like it would be allowed but always good to look into specifics.

Cheers, I've opted to take a different option though

He was the one I mentioned earlier who I had on my list and found out through random browsing that he died.
