"In doing so Jon could not know about Gandhi's alleged aggressiveness in first Civilization" - why? This is not implied by the preceding statements and the statement itself offers no clue why this might be. There is a statement after this that might provide the answer, but if that is the case, the quoted statement should be made at that point. Maury Markowitz ( talk)

I cleaned up a few grammatical errors a few days ago, but the whole section needs a rewrite for clarity. Reading it, I am confused as to 1) what was the behavior of the game alleged to be versus what was the actual behavior of the game and 2) what rumors said the programming was versus what the programmer claims it was (and whether his memories of such were correct). -- Khajidha ( talk) 14:17, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

The article says that the so-called bug that formed the meme was first mentioned in 2012, two years after Civ V came out, but the Civ V Easter egg is referencing the meme. I assume the intent is that the meme existed before the 'explanation', but when did the meme itself gain traction? FredMSloniker ( talk) 16:28, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
The original exposure of the myth was done by the People Make Games YouTube channel, in this video. Despite this, we are sourcing that to a dodgy Russian source that itself just links back to the video anyway. I believe that this is a misapplication of WP:SPS and we should just cite the video directly. It's a perfectly reliable source because, among other things, it directly interviews the developers who say there was no bug. Loki ( talk) 19:37, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
The article lead has used both terms, but unless we know the intention of "Tunafish" when they added the paragraph to TVTropes in 2012, can we really say that this was a deliberate hoax?
Minus that knowledge it seems safer to say that it's an urban legend - one that was either picked up and repeated on TVTropes, or which started there. Belbury ( talk) 15:04, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Hey @ User:Fragglet. I undid your edit because it doesn't make a lot of sense after your deletion. I pressed enter before I finished my edit summary, so if you want to discuss or disagree, we can do that here. I think while it is a fictional computer glitch, it is still famous for being a glitch. I don't think anyone is going to come away from this article thinking that the glitch is real; we warn that it is fictitious in multiple places, all over the page.
