Adding to your "How to write a good video game article"

Hi Guyinblack25, I have added a rough version of an "adding images" section to your sandbox. I believe that should help most new editors (and even more experienced ones) to avoid having their images deleted. Please take a look through and edit it to fit in with your style (or remove or change it if it is out-of-place). Toodles! Jappalang (talk) 02:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Wii Sports

Hey. I just added a bit about the clean-up to the talk page. I actually meant to do so when I put the tag up, but it must have slipped my mind. The problems with disorganization in the critical reception sections of video game articles are pretty common, it seems. Pele Merengue (talk) 07:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Barnstar

Graciously received. Thank you very much. -- Noj r (talk) 20:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

World of Mario RPG

Got failed for not having enough cites, and I think it is because we didn't add back in all the references from when the article was rewritten. If you add them back in, I can renominate it and get this to GA. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 18:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Just a quick thanks for reviewing Warhawk(several times) and the pointers to fixing it up for GA. :) John.n-irl (talk) 02:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Video games/Peer review/Age of Empires

Hey, could you possibly take another look at this? I've tried to address everything. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 01:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much for that, much appreciated. I've put it up for FAC, here. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 01:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008

You helped in the past with this, could you help again? The prose was working just fine, until McJeff decided to take it upon himself to just revert back to the list. RobJ1981 (talk) 17:53, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Wanted to thank you for being so civil with me and informative as to your side on the issue. McJeff (talk) 05:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

StarCraft: Ghost rewrite

Would you mind taking a look at User:S@bre/StarCraft: Ghost, and give me some feedback on it? I've got most of the text in-place, except for the development section. Don't worry about the external links sitting in the references section, they're for my construction benefit only, and will be gone when the article is moved into mainspace. -- Sabre (talk) 15:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

List of rosters in the SmackDown series article

Hey. As per our discussion on the WP:VG talk page, I've worked up a (very) rough draft of the article we discussed creating. User:McJeff/List_of_characters_in_the_Smackdown_series. I know it's not the greatest, but I'm having to learn wiki coding for tables as I go along. At any rate, if you'd like to offer suggestions, jump in and help, link up some other people who you think would be interested in helping, or any of the above, that'd be great.

Sora's image on Kingdom Hearts articles.

This Kingrock had been adding an image of Sora on the Kingdom Hearts articles. As I understand it, there is a fair-use concern over such images in the related articles, and such has been the one you've been avoiding in your efforts to make those impressive Kingdom Hearts articles. As such, any edit he has done I have reverted back. Just a heads up from a fellow editor. Thank you. — Blue。 04:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about this

I know that I said that I'd look over the guide today and give feedback, but I'm afraid I just got a bit tied-up. What can I say—a day in the life of a teenage Wikipedian? I've had to go back to school on my break to do coursework, and then I had to sleep it off to recover. Couple that with a lot of homework and a review of Starcraft, which took a lot longer than I thought it would, and now I'm too tired. Anyway, sorry about this Guy—I'll make it top priority tomorrow. Would you mind if I posted it on the guide's talk page? Thanks. Ashnard _Talk 20:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Halo (series)

Ugh... putting me on deadlines, will you? Well, I'm waiting for the hammer to drop on Contact Harvest either way, so I guess I can help out. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 22:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I know it needs a thorough copyedit, but there may be overarching suggestions I haven't even considered. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 19:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:DoS 1UP Content

I remember fretting about finding a source for that particular statement. IMO, it's not a big deal, but I'll see if I can find a source to support it. Thanks for informing me though. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR 18:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:SPAM

Thanks for jumping in. I'm definitely all for constructive edits at the article, but so far the article has been a magnet for spam. Randomran (talk) 17:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

... thanks again! This time, for your help with the linearity (video games) article. Randomran (talk) 16:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Newsletter bot

(message i left on newletter talk page) Though i dont mind distributing the newsletter, how about we have a bot made especially for the newsletter to distribute the newsletter to those people on the list. Feel free to use my bot User:KingRbot as the bot, just tell me what you think(but my bot has yet to be approved so we would have to go through the process and I have no experience with bots at all) King Rock 01:02, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kamen Rider Blade DVD cover-Vol1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kamen Rider Blade DVD cover-Vol1.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:12, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

List of Harvest Moon titles

Hey, would you be able to give me some help on expanding the lead. It has been requested that the article adds some information about the popularity or something like that and why is the series as long as it is. Where could i find information like this from a good source? Salavat (talk) 14:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Please check out my editors review thanks! King Rock 03:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Unending discussion

This discussion is becoming annoying. I've about stretched my patience to the breaking point with this user (and I consider myself very even-tempered and overly civil), and his obstinate nature is about all I can handle. Fresh comments would be nice. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR 08:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

At the same time, I have remained calm and polite with you as I will continue to do. I have made over 100 edits to the article in question and two of the photographs on it are ones that I personally took with my own camera. I even bought a book to use for sources as I believe in the article. So, please understand that of course I have a strong opinion and considering how much time and effort I put into it, it is of course frustrating when others obstinately just keep challenging rather than helping these efforts. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 08:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
