To the last editor, who made changes in August 2008:

Citation is NOT needed, because the original article was written by the Author of Intellectual Decathlon. His words are the best possible "citation". This is obvious, since the article states the name of the Author (Gabor Laufer, M.D.) and the same name can be verified for the Wikipedia article creation.

The exact same issue applies to the removed copyrighted material edit. The Author made the downloadable PC version available, and the Apple emulator is freeware.

Gabor Laufer, M.D.

You have to understand that one of the Wikipedia foundations is verifiability, which means that any facts presented must be cited from reliable third party sources and not from the original author itself. I have no doubt that the game exists, but if it can't be proven by third party sources, it will eventually be contested and deleted. NeoGenPT (talk) 18:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
