As a female in video games

Can we have a talk about the "As a female in video games" part? Only I can see how citing stuff wrote by random people online from sites that have recently been discovered to have an agenda that pushes feminism has no place on Misplaced Pages? How does this improve the article? How are these facts?

Can we just stick to what has actually been confirmed and not the mad ramblings of somebody that doesn't even have a journalism degree?

Also, this is from Jimbo Wales himself. https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Due_and_undue_weight I think it falls perfectly in this category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.154.190 (talk) 21:11, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I don't think it's fair to single out the "As a female in video games" section when all of the "analysis" is equally bogus (based on theories, not facts) in the article. I think arguing that only that section of analysis needs to go would be pushing POV.Wakanneesa 06:27, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

The whole section seems unabashedly biased and does not belong without some serious editing.Tupin (talk) 21:50, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Pronunciation?

Is there any information as to how "GLaDOS" is supposed to be pronounced? I automatically thought that it's pronounced "glad-ohs", but now that I think about it, I figure it's pronounced like the name "Gladys". I think that makes sense, since it would give her a "real" name instead of a meaningless acronym. Does anyone know if this pronunciation is correct? If the game developers have given info on pronunciation, I think it should be included in this article. NoriMori (ノリモリ) 03:13, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Portal: Prelude

All of the sections that pertain to Portal:Prelude are really badly written and have no sources. Should this even be part of the article? If so it should be rewritten, because the sentences run on and refer to characters that haven't been mentioned previously in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petenick96 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, can someone please rewrite this? It's awful! I don't know enough about the prelude to do it myself, but its existence is embarrassing to Misplaced Pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lobstrain (talk • contribs) 19:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Deleted it. As a fan project rather than an official product it has no place here, cannot presume the plot is official. Яehevkor ✉ 19:43, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Category:Disk operating systems

Isn't Category:Disk operating systems only for real disk operating systems? Harry Blue5 (talk) 15:04, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm making a note here:

"She also sang the lyrics for "Still Alive", written by Jonathan Coulton, which played during the credits of Portal. The song has been a huge success"

Please nobody change that wording. :-D — Mütze (talk) 20:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Merging Caroline (Portal 2) into this article

Caroline is, to be honest, not a major character, and I think that her article should be merged into the GLaDOS one. Does anyone object to this?--In Donaldismo Veritas (talk) 16:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

• Support. I can't imagine there's not a lot you can write about her to support a whole article. She should probably have an entry in Characters in the Portal series though. Rehevkor ✉ 22:44, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
• Support. It's basically a call for a redirect; everything that you can talk about her is already mentioned here. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 02:11, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

See also section

I've reinstated the link to Galatea (video game) in the See also section per Misplaced Pages:Build_the_web and WP:SEEALSO. These sections are navigation devices, which require that the targeted article exist and that a brief annotation is provided "when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent". "Links included in the "See also" section may be useful for readers seeking to read as much about a topic as possible, including subjects only peripherally related to the one in question." The topic at hand is female video game characters; both being AIs make it a strong connection between them. Diego Moya (talk) 23:33, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

I've found a reference that allows placing it in text.Diego Moya (talk) 09:49, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Eh, a whole paragraph based on a single primary source (a wordpress blog at that) is a bit much imo. Rehevkor ✉ 10:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I'll trim it down to the main points. Emily Short is a notable video game designer. Diego Moya (talk) 11:11, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Pacific Rim

I know that del Toro hired McLain to be the voice of a computer system in Pacific Rim and that the trailer released yesterday has her nearly doing her Glados voice, but we can't say that there's necessarily a connection between Glados and the film based on that. Given that del Toro is a gamer, the similar might certainly well be intentional, and if we have an article that asserts this, great, then we can add it. But just having the similarity in voicing is otherwise OR to connect the film to Glados at this point. --MASEM (t) 14:39, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm a little short on time atm but I found this which while not full confirmation is at least something (del Toro saying that he went through Valve to get McLain to voice). We can't "yet" say its Glados but I'm more comfortable in having a statement that many journals noted the voice, and we can point out this hiring/valve influence on del Toro. --MASEM (t) 15:24, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
