I can't believe this is notable but Zombo isn't.

(see
here) - Zombo.com was deleted because it had no
reliable sources; there's three sound media features referenced on the Forumwarz article (
Wired,
Gamasutra and
DigitalJournal have all featured the game).

Thanks for the links... I'm aware of the reasoning here. I think it represents a flaw in Wikipedia, but I offer no solution for improving it. Oh well.

Will add them in over the next few days if and when I have time, but if anyone else feels like doing so, go for it.

Expanding
Is it worth expanding the article, so it includes more about the game, such as about Klans and E-peen? Just a thought.

Go for it, make sure you reference everything, though.

Currently references 14-24 have to be removed per
WP:V. They're wikis, and any logged in user over there can edit them which means they're unusable as citation.--

Wikis have a history, and each cite notes the date they were accessed. Unless any of the information is contentious (it is not), I don't see the big deal.

Because anyone can add anything to them. Regardless of when they were created, or dates cited. There is no evidence that anything added on the dates cited was actually reliable.
WP:V doesn't apply to only contentious information, it applies to all information.--

I've given more than enough time for someone to find reliable sources for this, or to explain why we should throw policy out the window in this case and I've seen an utter lack of either from anyone in regards to this page. If you truly feel the information isn't contentious then it doesn't need a cite, but you can't have a wiki as a reference. Feel free to remove the citation needed tags if you want, but the wikis have no place in there.--

The original articles on the gameplay mechanics of Forumwarz were created by the game's creators. If I use permanent links to the original revisions of the articles, negating the unreliability of the wiki medium, and ensuring the content was added by the creators of the game, who would certainly count as established experts in this instance, would that suffice?

That should be fine. The only problem you might run in to there is the event that a gameplay mechanic changes, and one of the experts updates an article that a regular user may have edited since its creation.--
