Thank you for the copy edit! A few bits threw me for a loop (why remove the brackets around the contraction and disconnect that one sentence?) but I appreciate the help all the same! Kung Fu Man (talk) 20:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I wrote it in one evening so I figured the reception would probably have some hiccups. XD--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:23, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey again Beemer, this source [1] is kinda tough for me to add for the article. I have difficulty with English sometimes as I am not native, but only if you do have free time. I already sent req at GOCE for the article to be copyedited once again. Thank you again for making this article better when you actually helped me before. :D GreenishPickle!

Howdy. Unfortunately there's no mention of Ada in this paper. I did, however, find some content on Kitana that's definitely worth squeezing into her article, so it's not a total loss. (And now I have to be nosy and ask, where do you call home?) :)

I managed to find it and already added to the article, just in time you've replied here somehow, but not sure how to convert that source correctly so for now I just cited a bare URL lol:-D. Great Job. Thou, cleaning up that article is a nightmare. It seems like most of the editors here doesn't care that much at MK articles. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 04:30, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

True, unfortunately, but despite MK being one of the biggest game franchises of all time, NRS has also been consistently terrible at marketing the individual characters toward mainstream audiences, aside from the big four (Scorp, Sub, Kitana and Mileena). Heck, even characters like Eddy Gordo have gotten more mainstream attention. Okay, rant over. :)

Hey, at least we have Ermac and Liu Kang as "good articles." There's this one guy below your talk page who wanted to take Jade to GA, but the lead, appearances section and especially the concept and design section can take quite a while to fix everything, but it is worth it rather than cleaning up Kitana's article. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 05:07, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, Ermac was given a mask as a redesign for a backlash before lol. There are no sources yet to update his reception of the redesign in MK1 as of now. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 00:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The gameplay trailer of him has been dropped. You can replace the first source into this [4] which is better :d . GreenishPickle! (🔔) 01:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think this image for his infobox would be better? [5]? I think this could be also used for reception thou since it has reception where people disliked his reveal before until he was redesign just now. Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 11:17, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added the IGN source right away. Btw, I feel like the article will be improved furtherly when it will be copyedited. You could req here Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests (I cannot request anymore since 2 is the limit unless they've finished copyediting my other articles). Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 05:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm going to have plenty of free time for awhile starting next week to work on it. I normally save extensive Wiki edits for my off days.

Jesus. A 6 year old user turns out to be using socks. Im reverting his edits to ermac later (cause mobile). I'm still a bit surprised thou Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 22:28, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually done reverting it somehow. [6] I guess he's actually prepared to an admin after that result. </nowiki> Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 22:54, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I discovered this whole mess late this morning right before I had to go to work. Thanks again for your assistance (and detective work). I wanted to revert everything right away but figured that would've been gauche. I’m currently on mobile myself and I have fat fingers, so I’ll stop here for now. Cheers.

Re: Access dates in citations

Thanks for the notice. I've been using an automated fill-ins for some of the reflinks, and sometimes, they don't include access dates, for some reason. Nice work on Jade, by the way. I'm thinking of trying to get her to GA.

By the way, I've been meaning to bring back Goro too. What do you think of the draft? MoonJet (talk) 07:22, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, much of this reception has existed for a while. It just wasn't uncovered at the time she was in AFD last year. As for her lack of importance to the story, she's a popular character nonetheless. Not to mention, characters that has had sex appeal usually gets a decent amount of coverage. As for Goro, no worries, I can wait. MoonJet (talk) 20:47, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, so many of the old gaming websites and publications go under, so reception certain characters may have had before really thins out today. Not to mention, Google searches are usually filled with Valnet sites these days, sources that remains divisive among this community. I refuse to believe a character as unique as Goro didn't have way more coverage back in the day. I also want to see if the likes of Kano, Noob Saibot, Sindel and Quan Chi can be brought back too. But let's focus on Goro for now. MoonJet (talk) 20:54, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think in regards to the whole Valnet debacle, there are some nuggets out there that honestly go into depth about a character (i.e., this), but they're few and far in between. "10 Interesting Facts about [MK character]" - yeah, they don't have anything we don't know already. Anyway, I'll take future Goro discussion to your talk page.

Hey! I noticed you removed a couple of lines on the Mister Cee article. I just wanted to make sure I'm not doing something wrong:

- on the Today article, it states, ""Damn man #RIP to the Legend and good friend MR Cee Fly High my Brother," rapper Memphis Bleek wrote." at the very bottom.
- per

, reliable sources shouldn't be rejected just because they're paywalled.

Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks! Staraction (talk | contribs) 14:32, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the meantime, I've re-added some parts to the article. Thanks! Staraction (talk | contribs) 14:46, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm starting a new thread because the topic of Ada to Ermac is becoming longer lol. Anyway, if you're actively working on this article and planning to send it into GAN, I'm happy to help in return for the favor that you did to Ada's article. Also, I'm dropping this one [7] just like the RE characters (this all started because of the success to an FA article Jill Valentine). Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 04:55, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greenish_Pickle! Gotcha. ;) I'd been thinking about a username change for a long time and decided today to pull the trigger. HopalongCasualty (talk) 23:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It will be nice if you turned Kenshi into GA, given that you've worked a lot on that article. 🥒Greenish Pickle!🥒 (🔔) 09:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greenish_Pickle! I think you must be psychic, because after submitting my edits I entertained the thought that this might actually have a chance at GA territory. Only roadblock is the gameplay section that's in need of an overhaul. 💥Casualty ^{• Hop along. •} 02:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
