| I love the images you added to the article about the ], but I'm not too sure if the artist has given permission for them to be used on Misplaced Pages. On her website, Tina Leyk explicitly says her images "may NOT be used on any other site or for any other purpose without the concent of the artist". She has allowed halo.bungie.org to use her images, so she may be open to allowing us to use them too. When you get an answer from her, update the ] on the images, or if you don't feel like sending her an email, let me know and I'll do it. - ] 04:30, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Hey there! How are you doing? Look, i noticed that you were responsible for splitting content of SNES Dracula X into its own article. I want to suggest you splitting content of Super Valis IV that is in Valis IV into its own article, since both the PC Engine and SNES versions are entirely different games, kinda like what happened with Rondo of Blood and SNES Dracula X. I could do it if i knew how to split said content into its own stand-alone article so i figured why not ask for help. Anyways, take care and have a good day! ] (]) 00:42, 5 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

| I noticed that you created a couple of articles (] and ]) by pasting copyrighted text as "fair use". Unfortunately, that's not in line with Misplaced Pages policy. We do sometimes use fair use images, which is why there's ], but that's specifically intended for images because often there are important images that are simply not possible to get otherwise. In the case of article text we can always write our own, so copyright violations aren't so flexibly tolerated there. I've already rewritten those two articles I noticed above so that they're entirely original, but I figured I should drop you a note about it for future reference. And thanks for all the other work you've done, I don't want to just focus on the negative. :) ] 18:34, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC) | |||

Hey there! How are you doing? Look, i noticed that you were responsible for splitting content of SNES Dracula X into its own article.

- @KGRAMR: There isn't enough content for a split here, it basically needs a new article from scratch. I'd suggest simply making a new article if you want it to exist. The reception can technically be split off, but only when there's enough content in the rest of the article to justify doing so. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:44, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Category:Body horror video games
Hi, you were the driving force behind keeping Category:Body horror video games a few months ago (see deletion discussion). I recently took on implementing the decided purge and quickly looked at every page in that category (and its subcats), and not a single one mentions the term "body horror" (NB: one says ... the choices made by the player affect the narrative and visual design..., generally along the lines of eldritch or body horror
, but the term is not used in the cited sources). This, paired with the fact that afaics, every page in this cat was added to it by the same user (Latiromazzaire, who also created the cat) on the same day (1 June 2024), made me think that the deletion rationale (entirely original research
) was mostly accurate, but that's not why I'm writing this message. I'm bringing it up, because while I'm happy to add it to articles if I find a source for it (to avoid removing the category), I'm not sure how I would add the "body horror" aspect to a video game article, even if I found sources supporting body horror as a defining characteristic, and I thought since you're a member of WP:VG (and participated in the deletion discussion), I'd ask you (I hope that's alright).
I'm not that familiar with video game article guidelines, but as far as I understand, body horror is not one of the standard video game genres that WP:VG/GENRE states one should use (and for example, Template:Infobox video game also says that the infobox should not include thematic genres (like science fiction, horror, etc.)
). WP:VG/GENRE also states: Simply borrowing parts of a genre does not necessarily make the game of that genre, and instead can be said to be using elements of that genre in the lead and gameplay prose.
Let's say that is the case, how would you mention/integrate "body horror" in an article (as I don't know what common phrasings for this sort of thing are in video game articles; e.g., would you just say something to the effect of "The game uses body horror elements." somewhere in those sections)? To provide a more specific hypothetical, how what would you add it to the article Zoochosis (video game) (this is one of the two games for which you gave a source in the deletion discussion; the article is currently in the cat but doesn't cite this specific source or use the term), assuming that you'd consider it a defining characteristic? I'd appreciate your input on this, thanks! Felida (talk) 22:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
