Critique

Good anount of sources, well developped headings and subheadings. Needs an introductory paragraph at the begining to tie it all togetheras well as a few pictures. AlixElizabeth (talk) 12:40, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion

Hi CambridgeBayWeather! I've done some editing to the page. Reviewing the article, it looks like the student was trying to make an article similar to the one on the video game industry, but for tabletop gaming as a whole. I'm still working on this, but I think it's more cohesive than it was. It still has a ways to go - it needs more sourcing and editing. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to mention that I work for Wiki Ed, but I'm not the one who is in charge of the class. I don't know if it's really important to mention, but it never hurts to be cautious.

I think that there's definite worth in having an article about the industry of tabletop gaming in general, as it has so many different types of games and it would likely be too broad of a topic to be on the main article for tabletop games - at least for the main article if it were as well fleshed out as the articles on board games and video games.

ReaderofthePack Looks much better now. It's understandable. I removed the PROD. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 03:48, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hasbro link

The article claims "The majority of its products are manufactured in East Asia." However the reference does not seem to support the claim. I looked for alternatives. There is this https://www.wsj.com/articles/india-has-designs-on-toy-manufacturing-1452125507 but I can't read much of it. Slimy asparagus (talk) 12:28, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
