• I've gone and added the image into the article that it's about and subsequently removed the orphan deletion template from it. Keep up the good editing work! Silverseren^C 03:28, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that (sorry I haven't responded previously). Someoneanother 17:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the split templates at

No problem, they're fiddly bloody things and I've had to use them in the past so it was as easy for me to get on with it than sit with my arms folded waiting for someone else to do it. Someoneanother 17:45, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to offend. I have not been contacting the people who made edits to this list given the massive number of editors and the large amount of cruft (not on your part specifically, I have just stopped bothering to even look for them). The edits were made for several reasons. The first is notability. Every item on the list is a work of fiction containing cats, but that does not make the cat itself notable. I was attempting to remove references where the cat in question was not the focus of the game. Admittedly, I have not played all of them, but I attempted to give each entry due diligence. The list is a little different then the List of dragon video games. The standard for inclusion in that article is that the entry is a notable game that prominently feature dragons, whereas for the cat list, I believe that the intention is that the individual cat is notable, independently of its origin.

The second reason for the change was formating. I would prefer if the section conformed to the format in the rest of the list, though I admit this is pure preference on my part.

Of the changes that you have re-instated, I would further remove Shadow Hearts, Wizball, RuneScape, Mouse Trap, Mappy, Breath of fire, Darkstalkers, EverQuest series, and the Final Fantasy games from the table, as well as most of the ones listed below the table. I don't deny that in most cases these are games where cats are an important element, but I just don't think that that is the goal of the list.

Look forward to hearing from you --Djohns21 (talk) 16:34, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the delay in response Djohns, I've been busy with work and have managed to pull my back, necessitating some overdue rest and relaxation. What I've been doing with the video game part of the list doesn't resemble the rest of it, and doesn't look like much ATM, so I can see why it looks like more noise to be blocked out. However, what I was trying to do was actually include all the relevant entries in the new table, delete the rest, then spin it out altogether into List of cat video games. Doing so would make it resemble the other video game lists I've been working on (zombies, vampires etc.). It would remove the need for it to 'fit in' with the general cats-in-fiction list since it would not be a part of it any longer.

A lot of the sub-lists could be split off, given their own rationales and exist as separate entities. Until someone is willing to put the time in then I totally agree with trimming the list down as you are doing. A lot of the entries I've moved over to the new table don't look very promising now, but I intend to work on the descriptions as well so that it becomes clear why they're there. Would that be OK?

Congratulations on placing in the September Dab Challenge. Thank you for taking the time to improve the inter-article navigation within our project. Just wanted to let you know that your efforts do not go unnoticed and are appreciated. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 18:26, 4 October 2011 (UTC))

Thanks Guy. Someoneanother 12:55, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

I need the entire feature if possible, as I'm hoping to bolster the development section of the article, as well as other sections like the reception as I have no information on sales. If you can e-mail me a typed transcript of the article or even just some highlights, I would greatly appreciate it. ~ Hibana (User talk:Hibana (talk) 16:11, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't go in for off-wiki email and all that, what I can do is examine the information currently in the article and type-out info that currently isn't there (in my own words) so you can incorporate it at your leisure, along with all the details of the magazine for the citation. It'll take some time (which I'm short of) but I'll get started this evening. Someoneanother 18:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the information. It is invaluable and I believe the article is now very close to GAN. I had one question, if you are able to answer it. There is a discrepancy regarding the North American release date. However, the game was featured in the January 1990 issue of Nintendo Power, which, like most magazines, is released the month prior to the issue's date (in this case, December 1989). Some websites like IGN have the game as being released in 1989. You said that the Retro Gamer article states that the game "met the Christmas deadline". So, does that mean that it was released before (or on) December 25, 1989, or that it was ready to be released before or on that date? Is there an infobox in the article anywhere that gives a release date? Thanks again. ~ Hibana (talk) 12:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I'll take a look, I don't know the details but there was a discussion on the project's talk page regarding the reliability of release dates from websites, so it's good to be sure. You're welcome - I'm glad to have been of any help. Someoneanother 16:38, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks to both you! ~ Hibana (talk) 00:45, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I need your help in improving my article here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Canestenmobile/Sentou_Gakuen oh and about citing, are those correct? Canestenmobile (talk) 13:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I'll take a look as soon as I get a minute, I'll keep searching for sources as well so hopefully the article can get reintroduced. Someoneanother 18:01, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I've had a quick clean-up and converted a few sources into cite-web format, ideally all sources of a type (IE web-based, book-based, etc.) should share the same formatting, so would you mind converting those other sources into the same format? I will keep looking for sources and try to help with the article, but I'm going to wait till the game is closer to release - there's much less chance of sources appearing till that point. Someoneanother 20:38, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I've also add the author name to the reference whenever it's possible. Canestenmobile (talk) 03:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited List of cat video games, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sonic the Hedgehog (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A notification that the Templates for Discussion discussion (oy, repetition) has been taken to a deletion review discussion. The Article Rescue Squadron was notified, and as notifications to previous involved parties isn't normal practise, I and a few ARS members agreed that, in the interests of transparency and fairness, we should let everyone know...hence this talkpage message ;).

If anyone has an issue with me sending these out, do drop me a note on my talkpage. Regards, Ironholds (talk) 10:27, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Every game gets "reviewed by IGN, GameSpot and Allgame, [and] several other sources". They aren't all notable. If you think this article shouldn't be deleted, maybe expand it beyond 1 sentence? This whole "fight tooth-and-nail to prevent deletion of any game-related article, regardless of content" is actually extremely harmful to the coverage of game-related topics on wikipedia. 108.67.153.215 (talk) 05:19, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

No, most full-priced retail-released PC and console games released in English get reviewed by them, which is a fraction of the total games released in these days of mobile, browser and indie games. Coverage in multiple non-trivial and reliable sources is all that

the notability guideline asks for, so all games with such coverage are notable. Lifting a proposed deletion from a stub with a good source is not fighting tooth and nail for anything, nor is the state of one article harmful to thousands of others. WP is not finished. As far as expanding it, if you've got a problem with the article then do it yourself. Someoneanother

Can you please review Lure of the Temptress for GA? All the Best, -Khanassassin ☪ 21:04, 12 March 2012 (UTC) Hi there, rather than review it I would strongly urge you to withdraw the nomination and take another look at the article. There is virtually no reception information beyond some review scores, which would be better in a score box to the right of the reception section. I would expect a healthy 2-paragraph review section in most video game articles at GA class. The other major issue is that the plot section consists of an intro rather than an outline of the game's plot, it ends where the game starts. Both of these sections require expansion and some re-writing to accomodate the new information. I would say the article as it stands is closer to C-class than B, due to the gaps, the GA-process would not be a good place for major work like this to be taking place. I appreciate the work you've put into LotT as well as the Broken Sword articles, and I hope you'll continue with this. If I can be of further assistance please let me know. Someoneanother 21:56, 13 March 2012 (UTC) Thanks for the respond! Yeah, I thought that article might fail because of those two issues. Thank You for Your compliment on my work! Well, since you offered "assistance", I wondered if you might know someone who has any of these issues of the Amiga/other magazines with the reviews... And, another thing: Do you know anyone who played the game, knows how to write plots really good (You, maybe? :D) All the Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 13:14, 14 March 2012 (UTC) I'm not an adventure gamer, I had a brief fling with Monkey Island and its first sequel and knew someone (years ago) who enjoyed day of the tentacle, but my only real adventuring experience comes from text adventures, which I wasn't any good at anyway :) If you need Amiga magazines for any project then your first port of call should be The Amiga Magazine Rack, the LotT scans are here - just click on a page number that's in yellow (right hand side) to see the scan. Remember to cite the magazine as opposed to the rack itself to prevent copyright issues. Here's a site with some Atari magazines, there's more at Atari Mania. PC mags I'm not sure about, they're more difficult to find, but it might be worth having a google for some. Hope that helps. Someoneanother 13:58, 14 March 2012 (UTC) Thanks! You're awesome, Mr. Another! :) --Khanassassin ☪ 14:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC) Hi again, Someone! Thanks again for all the help you provided. I have managed to write the plot section (since the game is only 1 hour and a half long), but...in bad English - So, I thought you'd give it a quick copy-edit? - It is very short, and I'd really appreciate it! I've also added a review score box, and I'll start working on that section too! - I think it'll soon be ready for GA! All the Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 16:32, 16 March 2012 (UTC) It's a great improvement, I've tweaked it a little. I would suggest rewriting the plot section slightly to stick to the main happenings and move away from minor characters and "he said" + "Diermot picks up and maniuplates x y z". The review table is much better, but please add a couple of paragraphs of reception information as well. Please let me know when you'd like me to take another look (not that I'm a particularly good article writer, just that more eyes helps iron the kinks out). Nice work! Someoneanother 00:51, 17 March 2012 (UTC) Thanks for the tweaks! And, yes, of course I won't leave the Reception section empty. After I'm done with the Plot and Reception sections, I'll give you another "call." Regards, -Khanassassin ☪ 13:25, 17 March 2012 (UTC) I think I'm done with the plot, and I'm getting to the Reception section right now! :) Regards, -Khanassassin ☪ 17:22, 17 March 2012 (UTC) That's looking good, I'll give it a go-over tomorrow, need to lay down before I fall down. Someoneanother 00:18, 18 March 2012 (UTC) OK, I'm done with the Reception section, and I think it's ready for GA! Just give it a couple of tweaks, and we're good to go! :) Thanks for all your help! Regards, --Khanassassin ☪ 10:28, 18 March 2012 (UTC) It's my pleasure, I've proof-read the article and made some tweaks to the best of my abilities (which isn't saying much, mind).
