Some good points to be had if I had my way

 

[cats_09]

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?

 

[Beerfish]

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.

I too had Jody Gormley

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

 

[MJG14]

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

 

[nobbyiscool]

If someone died 2 years ago, but it's only announced in 2025, it wouldn't count.

However

If that persons family were to say, with no evidence to the contrary, that the death didn't occur until 2025 - that the person had "merely" been comatose for the past 2 years - would I get those points?

(I don't know how obvious it is who I'm talking about!)

I would guess at Schumacher, Kim Jong Un or Princess Bajrakitiyabha

Or I could be completely wrong

Dammit. It was one of those 3.

The wiki page I use usually has death announced on this date - it's then a matter of checking obits etc

Ie the actor that went missing was presumed dead but officially not until his body was discovered

Ie if someone goes missing today can you definitely say the died today or survived in the wilderness for a week

But it's an interesting question

 

[nobbyiscool]

Can someone help me?

I've spent 2 hours putting my list together, and the Group message won't let me attach any participants.

What am I doing wrong? Obviously no one else is having this issue?

As above, GreyCrow's message is the nail on the head. Feel free to pm this one through though and we can take a look.

I can't seem to PM you either, do you have a setting that restricts this?

 

[ClarkeM]

Wosh might be able to help if you're having trouble on your side though...

 

[JHF1870]

Got my list in with not much time to spare. I'm hoping to have a few unique nominations but I'm thinking they'll be snapped up by the smart ones.

Sorry Clarkey I’m away right now but nobbyiscool open a ticket and Chief can sort your settings out with you.

 

[Wosh]

Chief please ^

Submitted. Secretly glad to do my part in ruining NYE for ClarkeM and GreyCrow getting multiple PMs from lazy buggers like myself who've left it to the last minute. Serves them right for being sickos who would run such a competition.

It’s just a Tuesday night to me, in fairness.
