PC LittleBigPlanet

Hi, I noticed you edit the LittleBigPlanet page a lot, so I've got a question... have you heard anything about a PC version of LittleBigPlanet coming out? Some guy added "PC" under the Platforms section on the main page, and then linked that to the talk page, where he included yet another link to some console blog where someone took a picture of a LittleBigPlanet PC box. No idea why, just wondering if you've ever heard this rumor or if you think it holds any water.

List of PlayStation 3 games

The exclusive column doesn't belong. No other video game lists that I know of (except for Xbox 360, which I havent cleaned yet) have it. It's just unnecessary clutter, which just makes these game lists even larger. See: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Should_video_game_lists_by_platform_include_the_exclusive_column.3F for a discussion I started on this. RobJ1981 (talk) 15:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Uncharted 2

Redirecting is fine - it's generally not a good idea to start a future game article with only one semi-official source that basically says "they're working on it". The only argument against keeping the one with "(working title)" is that no one will likely search for it. "Uncharted 2", yes, that's a search term and as you have it, goes to the right place, but I don't see anyone pulling out "Uncharted 2 (working title)" for a search. But it's not critical if it is deleted or not, though once a title is known, I would suggested getting rid of it. --MASEM 16:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:AfD

You want to know the reason?. Here is why.

  1. . You comment regarding failing notability.

If you do a little bit of googling you will see how much source are there. Does it still fail notability guidelines?.

  1. . Adding AFD tag to the article.

AFD is meant only for deletion not for any purpose. Only in some serious case it used for merge.

  1. . Your comment regarding "A redirect to the original article should be used for now until it has received significant coverage to demonstrate its notability."

The game was just announced 1 day back are you hoping it will have loads of information on day one?. If this case half of the article should be deleted and be merged because new announcement.

It reminds me of this incident. Even thought i added IGN link in Dirt 2 page you said it fails verifiable information.

For all this reason your afd nomination is of bad faith. --SkyWalker (talk) 17:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

You have not given me a chance to speak. The min i removed the merge you have added the afd tag. The history page says it all. Did you discuss it before you sent it to deletion?. NO. Did you discuss the merge?. NO. If you could have spent little time visiting the link you would have have seen the interview. It does not matter if it is over or not. This is not the first time that is happening to me. Even though i added a reliable source you still claimed no verifiable source is added. Anyways best of luck i will stop creating article very soon. I have given up Wikipedia and will be leaving has time comes. --SkyWalker (talk) 07:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

PS Home

Yes, I have a question about the page and an edit you undid of mine. I had put some picture links on the

Playstation Home page and you took them off, and in your edit summary you put "inline links-big NO NO." I read the guidelines for links, and I did not see anything in there that said I couldn't put picture links, maybe I misread, can you clear me up here? JDC808 (talk
) 1:55 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. In general, external links should only be provided if they can provide information that cannot be included in the article it's self for any reason.
citation
but otherwise should be included in the External links section in an article. Maybe it was a bit over the top to call it a "big NO NO" though - while the MOS doesn't make that big of a deal over it, it's more that it's considered very bad by most editors. Sorry about that.
Aside from that though, I don't think the images are really necessary for a Wikipedia article anyway. Wikipedia isn't a
WP:VG/EL
, if it offers "substantial information that is relevant but not necessarily encyclopedic in nature" then the link may be included.
Good work on the article though. Yours and Ffgamera's edits have vastly improved the article over the last few weeks. ChimpanzeeUK -
Talk | Contribs 08:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

It's the same as what I'm doing at the moment. Just keeping an eye on it and nudging it from time to time as the WP guidelines and policies require.

But on the whole OK- X201 (talk) 09:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Exactly what I think. I don't think it's worth doing a lot of tidy-up work right now because with the volume of edits, anything that was removed/reworded/restructured would probably just end up back the way it was after a day or two. Once the edits have slowed down a bit I'll have a look at doing bigger edits to improve its compliance with G's and P's. ChimpanzeeUK -

Cats

I think its a good idea to get them sorted because the current mess across all formats has been bugging me for ages. I'll help with any editing/moving when it gets it sorted over what should be where, although after the hierarchy of the cats is sorted, I think we should put a proposal forward saying "We're going to move all games into/out of the PS3 games cat and put them/not put them in subcats. Does anyone object?". Then they will have had fair warning before the move around. - X201 (talk) 12:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Me too. The inconsistencies were annoying me so I thought I'd get started. And because (strangely) there have been a lot of IP users adding incorrect categories to articles recently. In particular, there have been a few different IPs adding the PlayStation 3-only games category to games which obviously aren't PS3-only.
Talk | Contribs 12:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Bots can be used in two ways. They can generate a list of articles that don't have Gamepad in them which can then be used to manually check and correct them. Or you can get the articles auto-corrected by a bot, which can be a bit riskier if they come across formatting that can confuse them. - as they did with my one and only bot request which ended up with me doing manual corrections :-( - X201 (talk) 12:33, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Bomberman Ultra

Er... nice way to bring out the threats. It's nice that you consider removing an obviously out of date tag "vandalism", but I think you'd be the only one sharing that opinion. I'll be removing it again, as there's obviously little interest in the articles being merged (or else there would be some actual discussion after three months). My reasoning is simple: anyone interested in expanding the article may be dissuaded by the potential merge (I know I'd be disappointed if I expanded an article only to have it merged a few days/weeks later). If you persist at reinstating the tag, please keep

WP:3RR in mind. —Locke Cole • t • c 15:15, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

To be crystal clear, the lack of discussion means no consensus, not that you can just carry on with performing the merge. Especially when an editor (me) is removing the merge tag. In case it wasn't obvious, I disagree that they should be merged. —Locke Cole • t • c 15:16, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Vidzone logo.png)

1080p

You said that only "small" games support 1080p. Well I'm looking at the back of GTA IV (by no means a small game) and it says "Supported HD video output: 720p, 1080i, 1080p." I don't know much about these things but it looks like large games can support 1080p. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pickledawg (talk • contribs) 01:43, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it can be upscaled by the console to output in 1080p, but the game doesn't render it at that resolution. This is merely because some TVs don't support some resolutions so it has to output in all of them, but it's just a 720p signal that's essentially being stretched to fill a 1080p display. Hope that helps? (By the way, what discussion are you referring to? I remember discussing this ages ago but not recently?) ChimpanzeeUK -

inconsistent?

I think you'll find, at least

for most XBLA games, that they are using the Xbox 360 (XBLA) construction. (six I clicked at random: Texas Hold 'em (video game)
Pinball FX Shadow Assault: Tenchu Undertow (video game) TotemBall
The Maw (video game)). I haven't seen PS3 (PSN) much though, but I think that they should fall in line too (imo). –xenotalk 21:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I was looking at PSN games. Pretty much all of those have PS3 as the platform and Download as the media to distinguish them from retail games. It's just a matter of whether you consider the online service to be a "platform" or just the actual console. Chimpanzee -
Talk | Contribs 22:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I see your point, but I personally prefer the Xbox 360 (XBLA) (notwithstanding Download as media). In any case, that's how almost all XBLA do it... not sure how to reconcile the inconsistency between X360 and PS3 tho! –xenotalk 22:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't think it's a major issue. I just think that on multiplatform games, each platform should be listed in the same way, as it is now on AoB. It looked a bit odd having XBLA next to Xbox and not having PSN next to PS3. Chimpanzee -
Talk | Contribs 22:46, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I agree when together and different it looks strange. –xenotalk 22:50, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I can remember the original discussion where it was decided to use Download as a format. It was decided upon to avoid having long lists of release dates eg XBLA, PSN, Steam, Virtual Console, GameTap, iTunes, etc . grouping them all as Download and putting the first date was deemed as a good compromise. There were some infoboxes that were horrendous to look at and made the release date section hard to read. The addional services were supposed to be included in the prose. But that part of the plan seems to have been forgotten. - X201 (talk)

User talk:200.215.222.195

Hi!

I saw that you had reverted a number of edits on

Coming... 12:09, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I have a suggestion

Should I add the llist of PS3 games that supports custom soundtracks or not? The

List of PlayStation 3 games is done, but it can't be done without the custom soundtrack feature. If it does'nt need to be added, then this could be confusing within other Wiki users if they are not sure if certain games has custom soundtrack feature. JMBZ-12 (talk) 15:32, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Yeah I saw the discussion but I don't really know to be honest. I'm against it but I couldn't give you a specific reason why. I think my main concern is that the page is huge as it is and edits take ages because of loading times. But also, it's in danger of becoming a collection of trivial information. If we add custom sound tracks on top of exclusivity and trophies then people could argue that we add a 1080p support column and so on and all of this information it pretty trivial and is also available on the game article. I supported keeping trophy information a while ago because a lot of people considered it a major feature of a game but that's not the case now that all new games have them but if the discussion came up again I think I'd suggest removing that column.

Aside from that, I can't say I've personally noticed a negative reaction to EA's DLC arrangements in general. If these complaints are aimed and one or two specific games then it would be better to add the information to those articles rather than the EA one.

WP:VG/EL"? If you want me to stop this, shouldn't I be told of a provision there that supposedly prohibits what I'm doing? Also, have you played LBP? I think it's a game with 3D graphics and 3D gameplay; the gameplay isn't 2D if you ask me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.71.100 (talk) 16:30, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Firstly, I don't know how you can consider LBP to have 3D gameplay? Seems absurd to me. With regard to the links, you added Official Media Molecule blog and LittleBigPlanet at Media Molecule.com which link to the same website that the existing Developer's website link points at. This is against

Category:TV programmes and films shot in Bristol

Hi Chimp

I have proposed that Category:TV programmes and films shot in Bristol, which you created, should be deleted.

Your contributions will be welcome in the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 28#Category:TV_programmes_and_films_shot_in_Bristol. See you there! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Happy new year

Dear Chimpanzee/Archive 2,
I hope you have a wonderful New Year's, and hope that 2010 will be as good to you as, if not better than, 2009.
Also, i want to wish you thanks for everything you've done for me, and other wikipedians in 2009, and hope you continue to spread wikilove in 2010. Happy Editing!!! --estemshorn happy new year 04:49, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

No, not if you read the whole thing: "If the game is not developed in an English-language region use the cover from the region in which the game receives its first English language release, unless another English language version has been uploaded first in which case don't change it." Chimpanzee -

Mafia II

Hi, thanks for alerting me of my mistake. I just thought that the release date of Mafia II would be known universally now; most gaming magazines have cut the ambiguity on when the gangster RPG will be in shops. I apprehended the date from a retail site of which I am ordering a copy off:

Play.com. I'll be sure to avoid making this mistake again.  TDW |talk 18:46, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for adding the citation, however retaillers are not considered reliable sources for released dates as they often use estimates to allow them to start taking pre-orders. See
Talk | Contribs 20:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I just figured that Play would've gotten their release date pretty accurate, as they usually are (from my previous orders with them). But I'll take that into consideration next time I evoke my 'good faith' again. :]  TDW |talk 22:12, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey guys. I reckon it would be better to make it more like the PS3 comparison table (for the regions and dates). Because having a separate column for each region is a bit much in my opinion. ★Ffgamera★ -

I like the sound of that. I've always thought that the comments section looked scrunched up on the right and side. If the dates were combined into one column it would make more room for the comments text. 'll try and knock up and example - X201 (talk) 10:42, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
