License tagging for File:Nam NoReturns.png

Thanks for uploading File:Nam NoReturns.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:05, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1000 Blank White Cards

I have to refer you to Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary.2C_secondary_and_tertiary_sources. To make a long story short, by longstanding policy, only published sources are acceptable, and secondary sources are preferred to primary sources. I have no reason to think you're mistaken or lying, but if we allowed "I was there and I promise it happened" to be the standard of inclusion, it wouldn't make for a very good encyclopedia. This sometimes results in valuable primary sources being ignored (but in fairness, it also lets us get rid of a lot of crud written by bored high school students about themselves.)

Now, if a journalist interviewed you on the subject and published the interview online, or a game historian described the founding of the game in a book, those would be excellent sources, and would likely support a section in the article. Until a source is provided, however, I'll have to remove the history section. All the best, Deltabeignet (talk) 21:23, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
