 Done Template should have been {{edit COI}}, but I see no reason to deny this. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 22:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

@ARandomName123: This site looks very suspicious, I went ahead and reverted just to be safe.

• No content, none of the links do anything, no link to main developer site
• Hosted on google sites
• Domain registered 3 days ago, game is a decade old
• Only archive copies are from the same day it was registered and show a blank page

This looks like it was thrown together over the weekend, possibly with the intention of changing the contents once it gets traffic. Feel free to revert if you disagree though. Jamedeus (talk) 22:42, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey jamesdeus, im with Artefacts and we are working on our new website garfieldkart.net due to the old one sadly being deleted due to our domain host (Google Domains) being shut down earlier this year.

The website isn't blank or suspicious, we are still trying to fix the redirect. https:///www.garfieldkart.net works aswell. I really don't want to argue or anything but just please put it on again, corporates paying me to do it also man. So just help me out and put it back on.

I'm sorry but this really doesn't add up. Google Domains was acquired by Squarespace and existing accounts were transferred over, there's no reason why you would lose everything. Even if you somehow did I find it very hard to believe that a game developer has no backups and has to rebuild the site from scratch.

The Garfield Kart page on Artifacts actual site appears to be working just fine - why aren't you adding this one to Wikipedia? Jamedeus (talk) 00:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I just accepted this based off a conversation on the Wikipedia discord. Their old domain seems to have gone down. @GarfieldKart: Can you provide a way to verify it? Maybe a post on the game's Steam page or Twitter? ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 22:56, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I could always be wrong, but there are so many red flags. None of the images are even hosted on the same server, they're linked from 5 unrelated sites including gamefaqs and an online poster store. I just read the discord conversation (TIL there's a wikipedia discord, thanks) and it just makes me more convinced something isn't right. Jamedeus (talk) 00:57, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
