Semi-protected edit request on 10 December 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change reference #159 from [customesports.com "Home - Custom Esports Jerseys & Apparel". Custom Esports.] to [exclaim.gg "Custom Esports Jerseys & Gaming Jerseys". EXCLAIM.gg], as the latter represent the gaming jersey and apparel space a lot better, covering a wider array of products and giving the reader, who potentially wants to look into the topic further, a better perspective. They are also a larger player and a lot more active in the space. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jim Kanakis (talk • contribs) 03:44, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I have removed the reference altogether. Both the existing reference and proposed replacement constitute WP:REFSPAM. Tollens (talk) 00:34, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 31 January 2024

Question: Are the games listed as having a spectator mode outside of the game that has information that the players don't have the only games that have this feature?

Edit request: I wish to add on to the section Internet Live Streaming that there is a major community of streamers or others that host watch parties over esports tournaments. Michael Amos Gil (talk) 05:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
