Welcome!

Welcome!

Hello, Lykan Digital93, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! While efforts to improve Misplaced Pages are always welcome, unfortunately, your contributions are not written in English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Italian; did you know there is an Italian Misplaced Pages? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! RA0808 _contribs 16:02, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Benvenuto!

Ciao, Lykan Digital93, e benvenuto su Misplaced Pages! Mentre gli sforzi per migliorare Misplaced Pages sono sempre benvenuti, i tuoi contributi non sono scritti in un inglese che è abbastanza buono per essere utile. Sembri più familiare con l'italiano – sapevi che c'è una Misplaced Pages italiana? Potresti preferire contribuire lì invece. Comunque, benvenuto e grazie per i tuoi sforzi!

Hi KylieTastic, Thanks for the review.

I literally " copied " the structure of this videogame article: Mutation Nation

can i undestand better what are the differences that stops my article to be published? i really need to have the article out because my game is not appearing in the search engines. Lykan Digital93 (talk) 14:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Lykan Digital93 if you read the notice above it is not a comment on structure but notability. All new articles on Misplaced Pages have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Draft:Mutation ( videogame ) has only one independent source - aka the review. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

"i really need to have the article out because my game is not appearing in the search engines." I am afraid, @Lykan Digital93, that this is contrary to the purpose of Misplaced Pages. We do not exist to promote your video game.

So far you have not shown how your game meets our notability criteria, as @KylieTastic said. qcne (talk) 15:10, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Qcne, @KylieTastic I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear earlier. I’d like to clarify that I’m not using Misplaced Pages to promote my game. At the moment, I use platforms like Reddit, Lurkit, and Keymailer for that. Misplaced Pages is a beautiful open-source resource that I truly love and respect, but as a solo indie developer, I currently lack significant media coverage.

My question is: are 12-14 streams by mid-sized and small influencers considered sufficient? If not, can I draft the article and wait for my game to gain more visibility in the coming months?

I’ve read the guidelines, but there seem to be too many "grey areas" for my liking. As a programmer, I prefer having clear numbers: how many sources are required to have an article about my game approved? Are 10-20 outlets enough, or is it absolutely necessary to have a mention from a major outlet like IGN?

Thank you for your clarification. Lykan Digital93 (talk) 22:55, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, grey it is, because of the complexity of drawing a fine line for so many different types of subjects. In general, you want significant coverage in reliable independent sources. Being included in a list is not considered significant coverage. Blogs are not considered reliable sources. Influencers are generally not considered independent sources.

Misplaced Pages is not a place to get noticed. Misplaced Pages is a place for subjects that have already been noticed. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:14, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I would usually be looking for three strong sources that provide significant independent coverage. So in this case, three different reviews from mainstream game journalists.

YouTubers usually don't count. qcne (talk) 08:08, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Advert and COI warnings

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Misplaced Pages as a "soapbox" are against Misplaced Pages policy and not permitted; Misplaced Pages articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Misplaced Pages. Thank you. Whether or not you intended to advertise this game, you did so. You admitted that you have an interest in it. My advice is to take some time to read the Misplaced Pages guidelines and practise by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than trying to create a new one for an unsuitable topic.
