=="Please Don't Copy Sources from Wikipedia" == | |||
Using Wikipedia to have a rough summary of who said what and to give an idea of what sources to use is fine, but the content should be original. Comparing your version: | |||
<blockquote>''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' was a critical and commercial failure. Nintendo spokesman Tom Sarris said that it "wasn't a big hit", including that no one was very enthusiastic about the game. He felt that if it was well received, it would lead to more educational titles. Andy Slaven, the author of the game, derided Nintendo for combining a positively received license with math, which is generally unfavorable with children. [[Wikipedia:Inside Higher Ed]]'s David Epstein did not find this game to be fun, while Bob Mackey from [[Wikipedia:1UP.com|1UP.com]] called it the worst NES launch title, criticizing it for a lack of value. He commented that Donkey Kong Jr. moves as well as an infant would in real life. Skyler Miller from [[Wikipedia:Allgame|Allgame]] said that the game was a creative use of Donkey Kong Jr.'s graphics and gameplay. | |||

The game had a poor reception from [[Wikipedia:IGN|IGN]]. Lucas M. Thomas found the controls poor and the execution to be bland and flawed. Frank Provo of [[Wikipedia:GameSpot|GameSpot]] found out it became boring quickly; he also criticized the math problems that would be easy for young children and boring for older ones. [[Wikipedia:Eurogamer|Eurogamer]]'s Dan Whitehead commented that it gave him an "ironic smile" as a reminder of the NES era, though he couldn't justify paying five dollars for it. | |||

<blockquote>Since its release for the NES, Donkey Kong Jr. Math has been received negatively. It was the worst-selling launch title for the NES.[7] Nintendo spokesman Tom Sarris said that it "wasn't a big hit", adding that no one was very enthusiastic about the title. He felt that if it was more well received, it would have led to more educational titles.[8] Author Andy Slaven criticized the premise, deriding Nintendo for combining a well-liked license with math, which is generally disliked by children.[9] Inside Higher Ed's David Epstein did not find it to be a fun game,[7] while 1UP.com's Bob Mackey called it the worst NES launch title, criticizing it for its lack of value. He commented that Donkey Kong Jr. moves as well as an infant would in real life.[10] Allgame's Skyler Miller, however, called it a creative use of Donkey Kong Jr.'s graphics and gameplay.<br> <br> Donkey Kong Jr. Math had a poor reception from IGN. IGN's Lucas M. Thomas found its controls poor and its execution to be bland and flawed.[3] IGN AU's Cam Shea said it was "too expensive if it was free".[11] He also included it on his list of the worst Virtual Console games, finding it difficult to imagine any reason why anyone would want to buy it.[12] GameSpot's Frank Provo found that it became boring quickly; he also criticized the mathematics problems, stating that they would either be too easy for young children or too boring for older ones.[13] Eurogamer's Dan Whitehead commented that it gave him an "ironic smile" as a reminder of the NES era, though he could not justify paying five dollars for it.[14]</blockquote> | |||
It's obvious that you ctrl+C, ctrl+ved the first two paragraphs of the Wikipedia section, marginally changed the wording in some part (mind you, changing "adding that no one was very enthusiastic about the title" to "including that no one was very enthusiastic about the game." is nowhere near enough to pass it off as original content) deleted others and removed all the sources. The 2nd paragraph in both is nearly word-for-word identical, apart from the removed sentences. | |||
While Wikipedia [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reusing_Wikipedia_content allows]] one to reuse its contents as long as it isn't used commercially and that the authors are attributed (which you didn't do), we'd rather have original content-which what you added isn't by any stretch of imagination. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 12:30, 20 December 2012 (EST) | |||
