I'd like to try something new - well, new for this article. Why not just a year by year timeline of events? I'm going to start it as a sub-page of the talk page, and see if we can get some ideas going. Since I've not regularly edited in a LONG time, I'm not sure what the criteria are for making an actual timeline into a Wikipedia article. The goal would be as a supplement and summary to this article and the Monopoly (game) page.

The timeline sandbox is now at Talk:History of Monopoly/Timeline, after the page move. —usernamekiran (talk) 05:19, 8 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

FAR Notice

edit

I do not believe this article meets the current FA criteria. Some paragraphs are uncited, as well as there being some questionable sources being used. Not entirely sure if this article is well-researched enough either as I wonder how thorough the page is on the history of the board game. GamerPro64 23:53, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

History of the board game MonopolyHistory of Monopoly (game) – The parent article is Monopoly (game), so as a "child article", the nomenclature should reflect that of the parent. Even putting this aside, the article covers more than solely the board game proper, as it also goes into detail about other derivative properties with the Monopoly name, such as slot machines and a game show. This point was also addressed in the FAR by at least one other editor. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 07:52, 29 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • relisting comment Currently there are 5 supports in favour of suggested title, "History of Monopoly (game)" (excluding nomination), and 7 in favour of "History of Monopoly". Both of the parties have presented valid rationale. I dont see a consensus as of 07:56, 7 August 2020 (UTC), so I am relisting this discussion. —usernamekiran (talk) 07:56, 7 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, all! @Usernamekiran:, no argument against your relisting rationale, but wondering if this clears things up (I know there is already a backlog of move requests)?--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:32, 7 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
