Pictures on IGI 2 page

Should the IGI 2 pictures be removed (of the characters) since they're too detailed? I know another topic-specific (Gaming) wiki where they could go in. Anything else you feel unnecessary or too detailed? Tomjenkins52 (talk) 08:58, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Great work on the Soulcalibur articles!

As far as I see them, almost all of them are now precise ones. More understandable to a layman specially to your design and reception additions. Great work on them dude!--JCD ^(Talk) 14:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Re:Space Invaders

You're not stepping on anyone's toes. I'm always glad to get some feedback on an article I've been starring at for too long.

As far as expanding the gameplay, I'm at a loss as to what else can be added in that isn't trivial detail. Since the article is about the original arcade version, I tried to focus on that version's gameplay, which is very basic. Aside from expanding on the scoring (10pt for bottom aliens, 20pt for middle, 30pt for top, and randomized for the mystery ship), I'm not sure what else there is to add. But I worry that such level of detail is gameguide content. Any thoughts?

In regard to the rerelease section, I see your point, but I think it fits under the main "Impact and legacy" section as rereleases and sequels are a part of its legacy. I had planned to see what comments the article would get at GAN to maybe make some last minute tweaks before FAC. If you don't mind waiting, could you bring this up at the FAC? I think a few more viewpoints would be good.

Thanks for the comments and please feel free to share your thoughts on any article. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 05:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC))

Hey man, can you set up your email for the wiki? I've got some sources you can use for Ivy (Soulcalibur). Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 04:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Sent it. Hopefully there's some good stuff you can use. Cheers, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 21:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Angel (The King of Fighters)

Okay. The problem I see is that this article only has 3 refs (one of them is unreliable), two paragraphs of the conception are original research, while the character has only a canonical appearance. However, I will merge it later, I forgot that Rugal Bernstein is practically a mess. Next time Ill add a tag. RegardsTintor2 (talk) 23:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Evil dead 03.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Evil dead 03.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Re: For what it's worth

I don't have any solution to make the lists better. I'm here on Wikipedia for knowledge, nothing else. Bulbapedia is the perfect replacement for that WikiProject, I'm helping out there. (and to be honest I'm mainly there for knowledge too.)

I know you're right that something can be done. I just can't see it happening that the lists will become useful. I know you miss me to be part of this WikiProject, but let's face it, most of the active contributors of the Project have left it, and it's just my time to go.

Fansites

Nobody can provide any policy based reason as to why we should trust a source which fails WP:V and WP:RS to hold reliable transcripts. That makes the section disputed. I didn't move it, I simple inserted that the section is dubious because its under current debate. A debate which no one else has continued to add anything to. Simply ignoring it doesn't make the disputed guideline okay.--Crossmr (talk) 04:02, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

perception of logic? By the pages own admission the sites do not meet WP:V. There is no great interpretation of logic to assume that we can't trust them to host transcripts. WP:RS already has a precedent that videos hosted on non-official sites not be considered reliable because its possible they could be tampered with. In addition to this I gave an example of just such a case which has occurred on wikipedia and gone on for several months.--Crossmr (talk) 04:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Reliable sources making mistakes is fairly immaterial. Everyone makes mistakes, however as a community we consider those sites as unreliable which doesn't seem to be a contended point. I can't see how its remotely possible that we would accept that an unreliable site is allowed to host content that we consider reliable. Where is your citation for that? How can you prove to random reader X that what the fansite has is accurate? That the transcript they have of cutscene Y is 100% verbatim? Tell them to play the game and watch the cutscene? Then cite the cutscene directly. There is no reason to cite the fansite.--Crossmr (talk) 04:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Admins opinion have no more weight in enforcing policy than any other editor. Admins serve only to use their tools in places where discussion alone isn't enough. blocking disruptive editors, deleting articles, etc. If there is a reliable source, then there is no need to cite the fansite. As to what makes reviewers and other things more reliable, is spelled out on WP:RS. Yes, mistakes can be made. But just because a reliable source can make a mistake doesn't make it acceptable to cite an unreliable source. I've just read WP:V and WP:RS again but I can't find anything in there that says if your reliable source makes a mistake, feel free to cite any old page you want.--Crossmr (talk) 04:39, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

A stubbron bull? Because I ask that all citations adhere to policy? Your only defense of this section is to claim reliable sources can make mistakes so citing a fansite is fine over and over. As far as circumventing discussion, this is a relevant discussion about reliable sources which even relates to another existing discussion on the page (youtube videos, allegedly reliable things hosted on a self-published medium). This is a completely relevant discussion to the noticeboard, as it not only applies to videogames, but other subjects as I've demonstrated with the problem with the flash comic article.--Crossmr (talk) 04:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to contact me. In response to the deleted material, it is covered briefly:

"Because of its many delays, there was much material cut and various pieces of unused data exist in the game engine, including data for a second battle with Kain, extra Soul Reaver powers, and other bosses. A compilation of these deleted materials has been compiled by Ben Lincoln at "thelostworlds.net" Some of the images for these deleted materials appear in the Chronoplast as visions of alternative futures that might come to be."

There's also a GameSpot interview, which the subsequent paragraph details. The rest of the development section is fairly important, detailing the game's original concept, that concept's adaptation into the game, and the disolving relationship between the series' parent companies. The problem is finding sources for all this. A fansite says "Dennis Dyack has revealed..." except I can't find exactly where or when he said it. As I said on his talk page - if I can't find it on Google, I never will. Maybe Dyack said it in a magazine, I'll never know. See my problem? It just irritates me when primary sources offer nothing, secondary sources are limited and fansites are unreliable simply because they're fansites. The Clawed One (talk)

Well that's the thing, most of the deleted materials on thelostworlds does come with extracted audio and screenshots. For example, there was a scene cut where Raziel kills Ariel and absorbs her powe - the dialogue for this file is downloadable, and unless the guy is a crack audio editor, that's certainly the official voices. But it's hosted by a fansite, so from what I was told, it's out the door. Here, see for yourself: http://www.thelostworlds.net/SR1/The_Death_of_Ariel.html

I also contacted the site owner, to see if he knows of where else the information he provides can be found - hopefully he can point me in the right direction to a reliable coverage. The Clawed One (talk)

Unfortunately the only name I have is the one the fansite uses, and I have no idea how to source audio sources. The Clawed One (talk)

I'd seen the GIA article, but the IGN article sourcing them puts it in a new light. It gives GIA credibility, and gives me a secondary source of GIA isn't usable. Thanks! I'm also going to source thelostworlds for a section, but make a point of saying it's a temporary source while I track down who they're citing, because I am. The Clawed One (talk)

Just a FYI, I finally tracked down some reliable sources over "thelostworlds", and nominated the article for GA status. Wish me luck! The Clawed One (talk)

Re: Necrid

That's a great start, and I think you have all the refs to back it up; so I'm perfectly fine with it. If you ever decide the article is ready for FAC, then it will need some polishing, but it will do great for now. --haha169 (talk) 05:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Report Me?

You say you'll report me if I move the Sakura and Ken articles again? You're the one ignoring the naming policy, not me. You reporting it will be enough to name the articles by their common name forever. If you remember, the agreement was to use the names frequently used in easy to see places - ie, Under health bars, on player select screens or versus screens etc - not names sometimes found in biographies, endings and the like. This isn't an agreement about whether or not to retain this information, but where in the article it is placed - and the title is the wrong place. Continue moving this articles to your preferred title names, and I'll involve other users. Mr.bonus (talk) 15:36, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Street Fighter IV artwork.

Quick question. How do you feel about using the character select artwork from Street Fighter IV for the infoboxes like this one? Or this? They're not as "inked" as the full body illustrations and they depict the main characters decently above waist. Jonny2x4 (talk) 05:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Kenshiro and Raoh

Do you know for a fact that it is possible to fill those out with real world information, or is it just based on the fact that the series is fairly iconic in the manga industry? The funeral is definitely something to help establish notability, but its main purpose was to advertise the film and it obviously fits on the list. I can't really imagine that it even compares to an average sci-fi convention and the like, though. I know that sources are generally hard to find for Japanese characters, but it would be nice to have at least a base if I'm going to leave them alone. TTN (talk) 15:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Sticking with my comparison, those are really the same kind of responses you'd get from any sort of convention. There were definitely people there for the character, but they really have as much impact on reception as comments from two hundred guys dressed up as Darth Vader. I looked on the Japanese article to see if they discussed any other impact of the characters, but the only thing was a slightly extended overview of the funeral (as far as I can tell with bad internet translations). An extremely cursory look over the three common google searches didn't reveal anything of interest either. I'm certainly not saying this is impossible like various other characters, but do you have any sort of idea of where you would look? TTN (talk) 18:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Are you planning to work on them or would you care if I just reverted to the merge until such a time? TTN (talk) 15:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

"See also" is not needed

If you don't mind, myself and a few other editors do tend to feel that the "See also" section in an article is an unnecessary section for the most part, especially when it's just a category.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 15:34, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

I've decided to return to this article and try and get it through FAC once again. I've got a bunch of print sources off LexisNexis I can use to source bits here and there and expand out reception, but I've got nothing in terms of development info, and I'd think it needs at least another paragraph on the 1993 title. You know of any places we could look? Otherwise, my additions will need some cleanup to make all pretty-like, so any help is appreciated :) --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 18:47, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Penny Arcade

Like the various other video game web comics, they have covered hundreds upon hundreds of different video games and related topics. I don't know if there has been any sort of specific discussion on it, but I'm certain that most people would agree that it would be undue weight to include such details in every one of those articles. TTN (talk) 22:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Were it something like Krakow, I'd agree with you. However given the individuals have been interviewed and featured in gaming magazines and have their own commercial games distributed through XBL last I checked, I'm more inclined to think they have a bit more weight.

In addition, while butchered, that particular strip was also in a magazine. However at this time I can't recall if it was PSM or not, and google isn't helping.

If you don't feel they should be considered a source for notability and reception TTN and think everyone would agree with you, hit up the vg project discussion. Best route to go.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 22:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Half-Life characters

Just in case this is indicative of further deletions, can I ask you to refrain from trying to AfD any other HL characters? Whilst an utter mess at present, they are a surmountable problem. A number of editors are slowly working through cleaning up the Half-Life series, and as was the case with Locations of Half-Life, a merged character article is in the works, a'la Characters of StarCraft, Characters of Halo, etc. It tends to be useful to have the edit histories to work with when merging, so it would be helpful if they aren't deleted. -- Sabre (talk) 15:19, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Gradius III

I'm sort of lost as to why a less recognizable image, a Japanese image, is better than the most recognizable image for the majority of the English-speaking world. The SNES version is the only version North America and PAL regions ever got, so why shouldn't we use it? And why shouldn't the article be about the most well-known version? - A Link to the Past (talk)

There's no question about the recognizability of the arcade Centipede, but for many people, they have no idea that there is an arcade version. To all English regions, the SNES version is the only version, and the article should use the SNES image. And as for consistency, there's no consistency rule, which is why having mostly ESRB-rated boxarts doesn't mean other related articles have to use the ESRB-rated boxarts. - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, per your arguments that the Fate characters have no third party references, feel free to nominate all Street Fighter, Tekken, Guilty Gear, and all other fighting game genre articles. While the existence of an article shouldn't be used as rational for another article being kept, there's certainly nothing wrong with pointing out that other, more well known series are as bad or worse on sources, YET ARE STILL HERE. Perhaps they should be removed. Nezu Chiza (talk) 17:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

If crappy articles will and should be dealt with, why is it a bad idea to deal with them? Your reasoning is confusing in that you make the former claim, then toss out the latter, contradicting yourself. If the articles I pointed out need to be worked on...what's the problem? I was merely suggesting more work for you since you're concerned with article quality. Whether they're dealt with now, later, singly, or all at once shouldn't come into the discussion, should it? The fact remains that they do need to be dealt with, and I feel you're the man for the job. Nezu Chiza (talk) 18:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Tsukihime characters

Greetings,

I understand your opinions about the Tsukihime characters being merged, but since you said they failed WP:N grossly, if I restored the articles and somehow fixed it, would they be fine? I'm also a fan of the series myself, and I don't want some characters article to be deleted. And it's not like I'm trying to save some of my images or something. About the Fate/Stay Night characters, there are some characters with a small role but they do have articles, I'm glad that you have fix it.

Sorry if my English skill is bad, and thank you! OgasawaraSachiko (talk) 11:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Eh, if you don't mind, I've just restored the article of Akiha Tohno as I believe she is one of the main heroin in Tsukihime. If it doesn't suit you, please clean it up if you want to. OgasawaraSachiko (talk) 16:10, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Fate/stay night, Tsukihime characters

Hey, thanks on the withdrawal of Saber (Fate/stay night) from the AfD. Per my comments there, the only other characters that really assert notability are Shirō Emiya, Archer (Fate/stay night) and Rin Tōsaka, so feel free to AfD the rest. As for the Tsukihime characters, Shiki Tohno and Arcueid Brunestud are the only ones that really assert notability (see [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]), so the rest can be AfD'd if you want (a merge to List of Tsukihime characters is probably what will result).

Ultima characters

Hey, I just noticed you put Minax (Ultima) up for deletion. I spent some time a while back cleaning up some Ultima characters—if you're interested, there's a big job with The Companions of the Avatar, List of Ultima characters, and List of characters based on developers in Ultima series that need some attention, and potenially Avatar (Ultima) as well. Let me know if you feel like working on it and maybe we can tackle it together. At a bare minimum, the list based on developers needs to be merged into a character list (and referenced if possible), but the current structure of these articles needs to be rethought. List of Ultima characters is really just a couple of tables. Pagrashtak 15:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Why you merged Lilith from Darkstalkers to the minor characters article? I don't think she's a minor character, since she appeared in almost every Darkstalkers games and others from Capcom. I would leave Morrigan, Lilith, Demitri, Hsien-Ko, Felicia and Baby Bonnie Hood because they are the only prominent characters that appeared in other media, such as anime, manga an videogames, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.139.122.85 (talk) 19:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikia articles

Articles on other wikis are usually more in-depth as Wikipedia's policies are against "fancruft" and overly long plot summaries. It's the same with the Street Fighter Wiki. Some of the character articles are small here on Wikipedia because the info that could be added shouldn't be as it's too "fancruft-y", so the Street Fighter Wiki is the best place for all this information as that wiki will hold as much info as possible about the series. But you are right about the advertising; the main reason why I'm adding the links is so that more people will come to the Street Fighter wiki, and the best place to do this is on Wikipedia where people already know wiki-code, making them the best users to attract. However, I am using Template:Wikia as it is supposed to be used.--Richard (Talk - Contribs) 21:51, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Editing Reptile

Hi, KFM, don't mean to bother you but I noticed that you've made 31 consecutive edits in the Reptile article. If you're not doing so already, you might want to start using the preview button and do everything in one fell swoop (or two) rather than performing dozens of niggling edits and therefore jumbling the edit history. Also, I greatly appreciate that you're trying your darndest to improve the article, but you're going overboard a little by overhauling the sections/subsections and padding them with numerous odds and ends to the already sufficient content that you'd added earlier prior to all your recent edits. By no means am I blowing off your work, but in the end it's a fictional video game character and not a historical figure or event. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 00:08, 25 December 2008 (UTC)Rep

ASINs (some general notes)

Hi. I note you reinserted a couple of ASIN codes on Reptile (Mortal Kombat). I'm not sure who told you they were useful, but I fear there may have been a misunderstanding somewhere along the line.

The ASIN code is solely an internal catalogue identifier used by Amazon, and exists only on their website and a few sites that pull data from them. It does sort of confirm the book/DVD/CD exists, but not in a very helpful way - it confirms that Amazon have or had a sales listing for an item, but not that that has ever been checked. I certainly know of cases where Amazon have listed books that were never published, or with vastly inaccurate publication details, in their system - I wouldn't be surprised if this applies to DVDs as well. In any case, you'd have to input the ASIN to the Amazon db to get the result, and you'd get just as easy a response putting the title and other details in! So it doesn't really bring much benefit to keep it.

The main problem with using ASINs is that... well, they're proprietary. We wouldn't accept a link to a single specific commercial sales site to confirm that something exists, so why do we give a reference identifier which is only usable with that one retailer? It has some slightly worrying neutrality implications, when you think about it...

Hope this explains why I removed them! Shimgray | talk | 23:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem. If you're wanting a non-ISBN identifier for a book, then you can get a unique edition identifier (ie, equivalent to an ISBN) by using a LCCN or an OCLC number, both of which are handily retailer-independent - but remembering the full publisher and date is definitely more important! Shimgray | talk | 23:50, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem, KFM. I probably should have done that before axing the picture, but often I've seen non-fair use pictures disposed of fairly quickly by established editors. After I explained earlier this afternoon in the edit summary why the pic was removed, Tinton (sp?) reverted it a short time later with a cryptic comment saying "That's from the TV series." I asked him what it meant, but never heard back and I didn't want to get into a Ping-Pong match with him over the image and risk an edit war. Sorry for any confusion. (On an OT note, I didn't know we had the option of including DVD caps in articles.) sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 04:55, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Sweet. Thanks for the link; I've stored it on my userpage. I'm not ashamed to admit that I still have my VHS (what's that?) copy of MK:A since it first came out, simply because it's the ultimate "background noise" movie. Heh. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 05:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Alleyway-balls.PNG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Stop re-adding inaccurate references to the Final Fantasy Legend article

I'm sorry to be the one to inform you, but your referenced translation is not accurate. Referencing inaccurate material defeats the entire purpose of referencing information to begin with. Do you understand how these guidelines work? Citations are necessary in order to establish known facts about something -- not speculations or editor opinions. (for instance, with translations -- referencing a third-party translation does not make this translation an official fact) I will thank you not to keep putting it back. Alternatively, you could try a dictionary translation or professional translation service, though I don't see the necessity of referencing such material anyway. 74.242.123.2 (talk) 22:36, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

If you don't mind, I'm going to keep this discuss here on your talk page, since I'm behind a dynamic IP. (when my PPPoE connection resets, the discussion will no longer be available to me)

I've looked over the reference you added, but it's not official. The album was never released outside of Japan, and thus the title is in Japanese. The website offering the soundtrack adds their own translation of the album's contents. This is by now means official. Even if this were the official album translation, I really don't see how this reflects on the game, which is already in English under a different title. The purpose of adding a translation of the Japanese title is to present a literal model of what's listed there -- not an interpretation or "loose" translation, as you would call it. I'm sure you can understand where I'm getting with this. 74.242.123.2 (talk) 22:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Um, I'll trust that the official album (and to note, the same title used on the smaller selections on other albums from the title) lot more readily, thank you. Look at the talk page: there are several "proposed" translations for that article. So there isn't something people are absolutely agreeing on for fan translations.

I've been around this book five, six times now, always by anon IPs. The VG project finds the source reliable, the guy in charge of the project's official Source handling noted it was reliable, that's more than enough for the page. I'm really not interested in arguing this further. Unless you bring up a source from Squaresoft/Square Enix that says differently I think we're done here. Further prods at the page will just result in me pushing for protection for it.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:00, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

But your reference isn't accurate, or official. That's a problem. You can't pull up a random webpage and call it infalliable.

Let me help you with this.

魔界塔士

Okay, you have 塔 and 士 which are "toushi" in romaji. 塔 tou means tower, and 士 shi means warrior, so together they make "tower warrior." (or warrior(s), but plurality is not always made clear in Japanese, so that doesn't matter here) Now we have 魔界 makai, which is the Japanese world for Hell, or the world of demons. So overall we have "tower warrior (of) Hell." (or you can also say "Hell tower warrior") You can add "of" and "of the" if you like, since those don't necessarily have to be elaborated upon in Japanese here. (and would probably be added in professional translations, for instance)

Hope that helps. That is your best bet for an accurate translation. 74.242.123.2 (talk) 23:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Are you ever paying attention? The resource is considered a primary source. It means from the people, company, and so forth behind a game. It's official. It's stated to be official. If it's not accurate to one's translation of Japanese that's how the cookie crumbles: the rules state to cite an official translation, even if inaccurate, over a fan translation (which, no offense meant again, what you're doing here is). Even you're not certain of the exact translation of the text, you're simply offering your own idea based on literal translations of the symbols on what it should be.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

It's not a primary source. The website isn't affiliated with the company in any manner at all. You should know this. My translation is an extrapolation from my native-level Japanese that's more accurate than the one you provided. I regularly tend to the Japanese version of this page and similar pages on the SaGa series. I'm hoping to help with some of the content here, since this is a Japanese video game.

Please go here Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation and start a new case based on this article. (you can list my IP as my username when creating the case, if you want) This will allow an administrator to take a look at the article and decide which is better. We can both bring the discussion over to there and make it a lot easier. Be sure to post the link to the request here so I can get back to it. Thanks.

Minsc

Hey there! I notice you've been hard at work improving Minsc, which is a good thing. Some of us have been working on improving Drizzt Do'Urden in a similar manner.

I'm curious about Minsc though, as he's the only BG character that still has a separate article. What is it about him that makes him so special? ;) Seriously though, he gets a lot of hits every month. I've been watching that article, and it got 3288 in November, and 4381 in December, and he's already got 1324 so far this month. That definitely seems to be on the high side for a fictional character.

So what is it about him that makes him get so many hits, and makes him worthy of his own article when the others don't currently have one? I'm not advocating him to not have his own article, especially with the improvements you have been making, I'm just trying to assess the potential for characters like him. Should more of them have their own articles again, if you are able to improve them with reliable sources as well? I'm not familiar with the game, so I have no clue which characters are important.

Sure I can give Sheng Long a copy edit. You may want another editor to give it a second one to further improve the prose. I'm alright at grammar and general editing, but writing brilliant prose is still something that's difficult for me.

I've also rewrote the "Plot" section to Super Mario 64 DS, let me know if you have any other suggestions. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 17:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC))

Copy edit done. I mainly tried to trim redundancy and give more context to the general reader. A few places raised questions in my head, but I wasn't sure what do with the text.

1. "Unblockable" sounds like gaming jargon, but I wasn't sure how to reword it without just removing it.
2. Who is Seth Killian and what does he do for Capcom?
3. "...including a jab from 1UP.com", what did they say and why was it a jab?

I recommend another pair of eyes giving it another sweep. Maybe User:David Fuchs or User:Gary King. They both write quality prose and have been very successful at FAC. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 23:45, 23 January 2009 (UTC))

Its popularity is not even on the level of Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series and we all know that series' fate on Wikipedia. My apologies. JuJube (talk) 02:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

About Reptile

Crystalis

After having just nominated Duck Hunt for GAR and watching a YouTube playthrough of Crystalis, I don't think this meets GA criteria either (Even though I love this game very much). What do you think? MuZemike 02:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Can I have your input on [issue], please? It would be useful to have that section in for some changes I would like to make. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.182.210 (talk) 02:46, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Because your talk page has enough section headings, I'm posting in this somewhat related section instead. :-p

Finished my comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Reptile (Mortal Kombat)/archive1. Hope they help. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 22:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC))

Super Mario Kart

An outside admin reverted the A-Class assessment to Super Mario Kart because there wasn't any visible review on the talk page, citing Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/A-Class criteria. MuZemike 13:50, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Terry Bogard

Do you know of conception info of this character? I have been working in this article, but I couldnt find any. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 01:25, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Mario

Well, it should link to the Mario theme article, and maybe discuss it a little more. And in the creation section, what does "Miyamoto developed Mario's in mind"? Is that just a typo? And maybe there could be a subsection in Appearances for his roles in other media?

Just some quick suggestions there. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 19:34, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Assessment requests

Hey Kung Fu Man, how's it going? I noticed your A-class nomination of Super Mario Bros. 3. Should we go through the backlog of A-class requests on the assessments page and formally nominate the rest of them?

P.S. Have you considered archiving your talk page? Took me forever to load (third-world dial-up—so sad!). — Levi van Tine (t – c) 06:21, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Nintendo task force membership update

I am currently gauging the active membership of the Nintendo task force. I have split the members list into an "active list" and an "inactive list" and have moved all members (except myself) to the "inactive list". To confirm that you're still an active participant in the task force, please go to the membership list at WP:NIN and simply move your name from the "inactive list" back onto the "active list". If you no longer wish to be a member, simply remove your name from the list. After two weeks (around 23 March 2009), I will remove all names on the inactive list. Thank you, and hope you're still interested, MuZemike 20:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Greg Horn

About Greg we cannot use his Marvel arts because we don't have permission from Marvel itself. The characters belongs to Marvel not Greg. But if Marvel allows us to use it's images we can use Greg's artworks because he agreed too. And all permissions you got you must redirect you conversations emails about it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. And contact someone who is an OTRS volunteer to check it.

United Kingdom eSports Association

Thank you for assessing the article (UKeSA). I would like a little more information regarding on how improve the article. It says on the Quality Scale (Start-class) that:

"An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources."

What would be an adequate reliable source and would it be possible to give an example as to the weak points in the article? Ryoga3099 (talk) 20:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Dead or Alive character pages

I see you have deleted all but three of the separate Dead or Alive character pages a couple of months ago. May I ask why exactly? In the edit history you state WP:N as the reason, but what makes the DoA characters any less notable that those of Mortal Kombat for example? I agree that not all articles were of equal quality, but some of the recurring characters like Hayate or Ayane have deep storylines which are barely explained in the short character blurb that remains in the list. In fact Hayate's background is not explained at all! I really feel at least some separate articles should be brought back. - Arnizipal (talk) 08:08, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
