Hi, working on this one now. Let me know if my text works for you. - Dank (push to talk) 04:23, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Btw, since inclusion at List of video games considered the best is based on a game's appearance in top-25 and top-100 lists, that was the language I went with. If that page shows that this game appeared in most of the top-25 lists, then I'll change the summary to say that. - Dank (push to talk) 20:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Nevermind, I checked the 11 references, they're mostly top-100 lists. - Dank (push to talk) 20:10, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Because it is the same game. No need to have multiple articles of something that is the same. There's nothing wrong with that article be within the other. Example: Tainted Love, same song, different artists & same page.205.189.187.4 (talk) 23:21, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

A few things:

• No, it's not the same game. It has different gameplay, development, and reception. Just because it's a remake doesn't mean it's the same game. Also, just because it has the same name doesn't mean it's the same game.
• The article meets the general notability guidelines.
• Having different articles for remakes is allowed according to the
  video game article
  guidelines.
• Final Fantasy IV (3D remake) to name a few). --Niwi3 (talk

The rules contradicts. No, it is the same game, just a different release. The release difference is irrelevant, along with the title not applying either. That's like a saying a reissue of an album is different so another aritcle is to be created, so that would seem to go against rules there. The original game article has this game already listed - if it was any different, it would not be listed. Almost as if it shouldn't be listed and we'll just have duplicate articles. Using another article was just an example, but it was a good example as there are a lot of terrible articles out there, this being one and yes all those remakes apply. Why do you think the merging exsists and have been applied to so many articles? 205.189.94.13 (talk) 23:04, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Work on Mass Effect

Hello Sir,

I just wanted to check in and thank you for all your work on the Mass Effect series. As a reader, I've really enjoyed those articles and noticed that you've done substantial work on them. It is much appreciated! Out of curiosity, are you planning on fixing up the ME3 article at some point? I tried doing some work on it many years ago but eventually gave up due to too many edit wars. I would love to see it done right!

Either way, keep up the good work! It has not gone unnoticed!--Ktmartell (talk) 19:01, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

File:Strangedays.jpeg

I recently uploaded the "October 13" poster to replace the "coming this fall" one. I did that to follow precedent of other posters, like Ice Age: The Meltdown and/or Sicario (2015 film). Also, showing three actors is clearer to readers than just one actor. Since you improved the "Coming This Fall" image, I wonder whether you can do either the JPEG or PNG version of the "October 13" poster. --George Ho (talk) 21:30, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Acclaimed Music

I appreciate your point about preferring original/higher-quality sources for reviews/scores at

talk

) 06:41, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

WP:PRIMARY

doesn't say "tertiary sources may only be used if it..." The "Policy" bits for each type of source at that guideline only explicitly state restrictions and the like for "primary" and "secondary"; the "policy" bit for "tertiary" phrases it as advice ("can be helpful", "may be helpful"), without any language forbidding anything.

Furthermore, using Acclaimed Music in this instance can be interpreted as being "helpful in providing broad summaries of topics that involve many primary and secondary sources"; the ratings template makes up a broad summary of a certain topic that involves secondary sources. The only bearing WP:PRIMARY has, IMO, is what is says about "deciding whether primary, secondary or tertiary sources are appropriate in any given instance", which is "a matter of good editorial judgment and common sense," and having it "discussed on article talk pages".

As far as Metacritic, I don't think "avoid citing the review excerpts listed below the aggregate score" is meant to say avoid citing Metacritic for review scores; it sounds more like discouraging using the excerpted texts in the article, as it then says "seek out the reviews in full and cite them individually". Or perhaps it's just not worded clearly as was the intended meaning.

Either way, the loss of Music Story is not a big deal in this particular instance, and I would not be opposed to developing a discussion first before deciding whether to have it in this article. But Acclaimed Music has been used lots elsewhere, by me and others, to cite scores otherwise not easily accessible. And with no consensus against its use, and no policy against using a tertiary source in such an instance (at least from my point of view), I don't think there was anything wrong with either of us reverting one another. It's just a matter of perspective.
