You removed a large sourced paragraph without giving any reason. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 11:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See the talk page. This criticism was discussed a year ago and no one felt the need to add it in. Also, issuing vandalism4 randomly is out of line. Strongsauce (talk) 11:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here is what you put into the article, 2008 Kojima has announced there will be a Metal Gear Solid movie, schedule release date for 2009. Director is Kurt Wimmer. [1] Strongsauce (talk) 00:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

it was not peacocking dammit, you've removed useful infos regarding update of the imported version. :/ Cliché Online (talk) 18:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing in that blog post was the confirmation of a new car, Ferrari F2007. You're stretching out a small tidbit (albeit "important") of information into more than it is. Also, In response to the growing buzz appearing on popular video game blogs around the globe is definitely a form of "peacocking" as there doesn't seem to be some sort of "huge buzz" from blogs around the globe.

Also this quote, "Sometimes even the best kept secrets seem to find their way out - that's just the nature of the beast - so it was no surprise (at least not much) when co-workers started to email us links to leaked Gran Turismo 5 Prologue screenshots… and the rumor mill it had kick-started." is not something that really needs quoting. Strongsauce (talk) 19:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no buzz? where were you last week? checked kotaku? ps3news? ign? gamekult (france)? these are huge.

the quote is a confirmation of the buzz's importance i think. anyway what about removing the info about updating the jap version? this is the most important part. Cliché Online (talk) 19:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me actual pages regarding the fact that the Ferrari F2007 information was "leaked?" No page on Kotaku mentions this, with only this article mentioning that GT5 features will be later "patched" in. What are you referring to when you say, "buzz?" buzz about the game? Strongsauce (talk) 19:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i'll give you the links, you want me to waste my time now. what about threespeech? i gave the link for this one Cliché Online (talk) 19:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i think the section on famitsu (episodic content) has no source at all and is too much extended what about cutting lines in there instead? Cliché Online (talk) 19:11, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

it is not that the section you added in was too long, there was just more in that section than in the actual articles linked to. Strongsauce (talk) 19:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

phrase like "North American users will get the chance to race new cars" are not supposed to be on wikipedia. this is peacocking.

can't you read japanese? citroen, ford GT etc. are mentioned on the jap screenshots published by threespeech, this was meant to tell: hey lads the jap game will receive a car update. "update" is the most important part in the leak section, now it does not appear anymore, reading this no one will know updates are scheduled. Cliché Online (talk) 19:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No I can't read Japanese. This link that you used as your source provides screenshots of the Ferrari F1. I don't see how posted screenshots will tell fans, "hey these cars are coming in update X" Strongsauce (talk) 19:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i've answered on the article's talk. Cliché Online (talk) 19:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

there are no photo stage, no~r photo thing in GT5P, this is simply My Page interface. locked content compares with the jap demo, previously locked contents on the jap version were available on the sema version. Cliché Online (talk) 02:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you rephrase what you just said in complete sentences? I cannot understand any of that shorthand at all. Strongsauce (talk) 02:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i'm removing these infos from the article anyway because they are not important by now. Cliché Online (talk) 02:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

that's it for today, try to not mess with the article more than you have already done. (check the GT5P demo cover's poster...) Cliché Online (talk) 03:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I understand why the Japanese title may be relevant now. But why do you remove Category:Video games developed in the United Kingdom? Megata Sanshiro (talk) 15:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feature The Importance of the Lead The lead is one of the most important parts of any Wikipedia article; its job to summarize the article in 2 to 3 paragraphs in order to familiarize the reader with the structure of the content that you will providing them as well as to give a quick one-minute overview of the topic. Many articles that are processed through Featured Article assessments will be heavily scrutinized for a poor lead section. For articles dealing with video games, a common practice has developed for leads, being a 3-paragraph discussion. First paragraph The first paragraph should state the name of the game (using both bold (to identify the article's name) and italics as per the manual of style), along with any other alternate names the game may go by. The genre of the game should be clearly identified as well as the developer and the publisher. If a notable person has been cited by the game as having worked on the game's development (such as Tim Schafer or David Jaffe), this should also be noted. Release dates should be given, along with the release of any ports, remakes, or sequels. Second paragraph The second paragraph should summarize the plot briefly in one or two sentences; a high level overview is only needed to set the stage for further discussion. One or two sentences should be included to discuss the gameplay, including any notable features of the game. Third paragraph The third paragraph should cover the reception of the game, citing its general critical reaction and any significantly notable successful or failing elements in the game. If the game has won awards, this aspect can be noted, but specific mention of any award is discouraged. This approach should help you to write a good lead for nearly any game, though this may need to be altered for other games. If there's not a lot of reception information for a game, it may be worthwhile to combine the listed first and third paragraphs into one paragraph. There may be need to talk more about an aspect not normally covered in video game articles (such as with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Atari 2600) ) which should be noted in the lead.

Hello! I'm aware "Rating Pending" is a rating used by the ESRB, but many articles include it, even if the game has not finished development. If RP is included under ESRB, why not TBA under every other ratings board? RP doesn't contribute much to the article, especially in the form it's currently used - like you say, it's not really worth including just for ratings sake. If all instances of RP were ref'd with a source saying the game had been submitted for rating, that might be ok. Thanks!

I think I'll stick the word "proper" into my "rating pending is not a rating" spiel, bit more accurate then =)

In the interview from the YouTube link ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu5rCrK3OBY ) he talks about his parents life in Romania and his past. Daniel says he is romanian. It's an essential reference where I added it (after 'Daniel Negreanu's parents, Annie and Constantin, moved from Romania to Canada in 1967'). No reason to remove it. Also, the fact that it's in romanian language proves the article's point, that he was born in Canada but he's basically romanian. Also, it's not a copyright violation since I uploaded that video. And I can assure you it's unique on all YouTube, no one else could have uploaded that, I edited it from a longer interview and made it to fit 10 mins so it can be uploaded on YouTube. Since it's my video and I grant permission to anyone to use it in any way they like, it's not a copyright violation. And the romanian language just proves the fact that Daniel's romanian, knowing the language etc, which sustains the article's point. But that's a secondary thing. What matters is the copyright, and I own the video. So I really think you should add it back, because it's an important reference. Visibilia (talk) 10:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Strongtalk,

First off, I do not see what the problem is. I do not believe the link violates any of the rules. It is a useful site that is used by members of the Flyertalk community, which is one of the most used forums for Centurion information. It contains useful and up to date information and has the only accurate comparison guides around for high end credit cards and AMEX cards. All information is right from AMEX and other benefit books of other credit cards.

However, you have a reference such as amex-black.com which does not provide information about the card except for who has it. I believe that the comparison site is much more of a reference than this and a lot of your other references. So is the geocities centurion site. I think that the centurion page definately needs to be modified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Centurion101 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It has been a few days and yet you have not responded to my post. However you have removed my link once again. Not only that, but you allow MSITE's comparison which just comapres centurion cards from all around the world, and is not a complete comparison. Yet you do not allow a site that has a very useful comparison... I would appreciate a response.

Centurion101 (talk) 15:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Look you need to stop readding it in if you're really asking me about why I removed your links. The fact that you posted a message on my talk page and have promptly readded your site in twice, I assume that you are just ignoring why I have removed your link. I assume you are talking about the link added as M-Site CENTURION COMPARISON on the page which I indeed did remove from the site from this edit here but Wikipedia seems to have readded the link when I removed your link. Regardless just because one thing that is not allowed on a Wikipedia article is in it does not make it okay for you to put your inappropriate link into the site as well. Your site has information that is unverifiable and in particular is a link that should be avoided per

WP:LINKSTOAVOID. So please stop linkspamming your site into that Wikipedia article. Strongsauce (talk) 17:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply

Centurion101 (talk) 17:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Wikipedia are timestamped so it is pretty easy to see you readded the link back multiple times before you posted the first time on my talk page. Here is the edit where I removed your link at 15:21 on April 27th, you readd your link back in the next day at 13:08 on April 28th which was promptly removed by XLinkBot in this edit. You then readd the link again 2 minutes later, here and user Beetstra reverts your edits once again. So finally after trying to readd the link back 2 more times you FINALLY post on my page. Your site is not a legitimate site,the infromation that you are posting comes from behind a password protected so it either violates copyright rules or cannot be added because the data in unverifiable. If you have a problem or feel that your site is not spam start a discussion. If you feel other links in the article is spam or should not be there, you can remove those as well. Regarding those other links, Inclusion of one spam link is not a reason to include another. Strongsauce (talk) 17:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also please point out to me what rules on the links to avoid page this site breaks. As again I look through it, and it does not break any of them. Centurion101 (talk) 17:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That password protected page, which you have as a link on the wikipedia centurion card page, is where most of the information from centurion comes from. You can ask anyone with a centurion card to verify that information on that page. A friend of mine has the benefits book for the card. I'd be happy to get that and scan it in. Meanwhile, all the others can be verified. I have a pdf for the chairman card that Jblackbelt gave me, and the platinum can be seen at americanexpress.com/platinum

Please point me in the right direction on where to start a discussion about my site. I also would like to ask how amex-black.com is a "verified" source as that information is posted as a blog by a person, and has no verification at all. I'd be happy to start a discussion on this as well if you would be so kind as to show me there. I have tried to remove those but references apparently cannot be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Centurion101 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArmyMajor posted this both on my talk page and the talk page for Jamie Gold's article. Rather than undoing the edit or discussing why it was deleted he felt it was necessary to come and attack me personally. However his source was invalid since it did not mention Jamie Gold at all. Upon further searching you could find that Jamie Gold was hosting it but you have to view the website's source to see it. So either ArmyMajor found out this fact before the rest of the Internet or he has an interest in Jamie Gold and/or is involved in the event which was the reason I undid his edit in the first place. For the discussion see Jamie Gold's talk page

This morning, I made the following revision to the Jamie Gold article: "Jamie Gold will be hosting the Celebrity Poker Tournament at the Playboy Mansion on May 18, 2008. This event will benefit the Urban Health Institute."

Strongsauce promptly deleted my revision, with the following reason: "sounds like an advertisement.".

It is interesting that Strongsauce's talk page contains a dozen other complaints about the "undo's" that Strongsauce has made in the past 6 weeks (since March 17, 2008).

When I see Jamie Gold at the charity tournament in two weeks, I will be sure to tell him that a Wikipedia "policeman" did not find Jamie's contribution to this charity event to be relevant to the Jamie Gold article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ArmyMajor (talk • contribs) 20:15, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feature Writing about Gameplay The Gameplay section is a crucial component of a good video game article. Although it may be relatively easy for an experienced gamer to write such a section, care must be taken to maintain an appropriate focus and balance. The section should be written for readers with little or no knowledge of video gaming and should not be filled with detailed information about weapons, levels, or other such topics that are only of interest to the video gamer or that might be found in a game guide . Your goal for crafting a good section is to have people who have never picked up the game understand the basic mechanics. Do note, however, that it's safe to assume the reader has at least a minor knowledge of what a video game is. This section often begins the body text after the lead, but is sometimes placed after the Plot section. Games with little or no story can cover the plot in the Gameplay section. When writing about a game, use your head and common sense about the ordering. Generally, start off with a broad stroke—is the game a RTS or an FPS , etc. Don't talk about why the gameplay is like it is; generally, that is better placed in the 'Development' section later on in the article. Images can be added to better illustrate some aspects of gameplay. Generally, a single screenshot will suffice. Because of screenshots are non-free content, usage should be minimalised. Multiple images can be used, but all images should add something to the article beyond what the prose states. All non-free images require a fair use rationale to be used on Wikipedia. Things to remember Don't add in cruft about weapons, levels, and minute details of trivia; gameplay sections should serve as a primer to the game, not an exhaustive list of every facet of the game. Don't use gaming jargon which can be confusing to readers, such as "NPC" or "MMORPG". If you use these terms, state the full name and the abbreviation the first time it appears. For example, "Halo is a first-person shooter, or FPS." Wikilink! So you don't have to describe what a god game is, link it . Talk about what makes the game different from others; if you only talk about why StarCraft is a real-time strategy game, then readers could just visit the article about the game genre and be better served.

I find it interesting that you think you should determine who should or should not be listed in the ice hockey section under sports agent. There was no "spamming" as you stated in your note to me. There was no promotion of a service. The fact is that the people listed are legitimate Hockey Only Agents and not only should they be listed, but they deserve to be listed. It is a discriminatory practice you are engaged in and as Wikipedia is a non-profit 501c3 such practices can place that tax status at risk. The page will again be edited to provide more agent information from more than one company. This is more than fair. Should you wish to discuss this further please feel free to e-mail me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stick2700 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it, are you saying you were not consistently spamming your company and then now are threatening to take away Wikipedia tax status? Strongsauce (talk) 23:47, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also here are your edits where you spam your company website. [2][3][4]. Just because you are a ice hockey agency does not mean you "deserve" to be listed on Wikipedia. Strongsauce (talk) 23:53, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was no threat, merely a statement of fact that your edits seem to be those of a person with a vested interest in keeping truthful information from the public. In any event when I get more time I will re-edit the page with information about Agents from multiple companies and I believe that should resolve the issue. If you object to this feel free to e-mail me. Stick2700 (talk) 16:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Stick2700[reply]

I don't belong to any hockey team nor do I belong to any agency. Seems that you are the one with a vested interest. As I have pointed out you or whatever IP that is has attempted several times to spam that hockey agency. Just because you are a hockey agent/agency does not mean you are necessarily notable. The fact that you try to spam Wikipedia makes me think you are not on the up and up.

Warcraft Feature Writing about Development Development content is very important to include in an encyclopedic video game article. It provides a history of how the game came to be and provides real world information needed for an article to claim comprehensiveness. However, writing this section can be difficult because the amount and type of information available will vary for each game. One of the best sources for such information is a developer interview. These can provide insight into the thought process of the designers and give examples of influences and obstacles encountered. Previews can also be helpful by giving a snap shot of the game before it was released and may mention development issues that were still being addressed. When writing about development, common sense should be used to organize content to maintain a sense of flow for the reader. Most times, it is best to give the information in a somewhat chronological order—though information can also be grouped by topics like audio, promotion, graphics, etc. If one such topic gets large enough, it can be split off into its own subsection or regular section. For example, Kingdom Hearts#Audio is a separate section from the rest of the development information because it focuses on the game's musical score and voice acting. Portal (video game)#Soundtrack, however, does not have as much content and is a subsection of the main development section. What to include about development Who are the developers? Which company or studio developed the game, and are there any prominent designers involved? When did development begin? When and where was the game first announced? (e.g. Tokyo Game Show, E3 Media and Business Summit, etc.) What influenced the game's story, characters, music, and/or gameplay ? (e.g. past games, movies, books, etc.) Were there any delays? Was anything excluded because of time or technological constraints? (e.g. extra levels, game modes, characters, story arcs, etc.) Things to remember Avoid proseline.

Strongsauce can you help me out with the reception section for MGS4 it keeps altered.zarth4 (talk) 11:48, 05 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Strongsauce, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting

Thanks! I actually just came back from a long wikibreak to see this. Strongsauce (talk) 01:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There have been 2 reviews and metafilter is not a reliable source.(Planecrash111 (talk) 16:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Correction I meant Metacritic which is a reliable source of aggregate scoring/listing of reviews. And like I said those 2 reviews you pointed out are actually reviews for the game and not specifically for the PS2.

Actually I just looked over the edits again and the edits you made have been done within the past 24 hours so you are indeed violating 3rr.

I don't get what the 3RR is.

Please see

Wikipedia:3RR. Essentially to prevent edit wars no user is allowed to revert more than 3 times on the same page within a 24 hour period unless it is vandalism. Within the past 24 hours you have made about 4 reverts against other editors. Strongsauce (talk) 18:29, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply

All talk pages moved to archives under WT:VG Wikipedia:WikiProject Dynasty Warriors deleted. Feature: Writing the Reception In many video game articles, the Reception section is the last main section of prose. As its name suggests, within the section you should summarize the critical reaction to the game. The section should provide a high-level overview of what the critics liked and didn’t like about the game; it is a summary, not a repetition of what publications thought. Therefore, don’t put in excessive, long winded quotes or have a paragraph detailing IGN’s thoughts on the game. To prevent cluttering of the prose with scores, reviews table such as {{ VG Reviews }} can be used to organize this kind of information. A good way to lead off the section is a by-the-numbers or at a glance snapshot of the game’s reception; you can use aggregate scores to suggest an overall critical response to the game, and can provide sales figures (if you have them) for the game’s release. Commonly, the rest of the reception is broken into positive and negative paragraphs. Entirely separate ‘Praise’ and ‘Controversy’ or ‘Negative comments’ or the like are strongly discouraged as troll magnets. If the game has won any awards, then listing them at the bottom of the reception section is an option. Other things to remember: Don’t list every single review in the reviews table; likewise, don’t mention every award the game has ever gotten. Generally, talk about what the reviewers say rather than speaking for them; for example, “Reviewer X of Publication Y took issue with elements of the game such as X, Y, and Z” instead of “Review X said that “I took issue with elements of the game such as X, Y, and Z.” If a reviewer has a good comment which sums up the positive/negative/overall reaction, or a particular sentiment common in many reviews, it might be more appropriate to use. If adding sales data, make sure to provide context; did it sell those 4.2 million units within three months of release or three years? If possible, break down the sales by region; did the Japanese like the game, but Americans not buy it? Use reviews whose scores are outliers from the average ratings to find key points that were liked or disliked about a game. If all reviews except for one average around a 9 out of 10, and the one is a 7 out of 10, there is probably some clear negative points to be found in it; the same works with very positive reviews. Perhaps most importantly, give proper weight and keep a neutral point of view. If the game received mostly negative scores, having three paragraphs on positive aspects and glossing over the bad parts in a sentence or two conveys the wrong impression to readers.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Indie Game Developers deleted. Wikipedia:WikiProject Arcade games moved to page under Arcade task force page. Feature: Reliable Sources A common issue with writing video games articles is that it's often natural for editors to turn to the internet for all their information. However, using only online sources can be problematic, especially if editors are not familiar with Wikipedia's sources guidelines. First off, for every notable, reliable web site about gaming that exists on the web, there are twenty-five fan sites or personal blogs. As per Wikipedia's, content guideline about reliable sources , a proper source that should be used in an article must meet the following criteria: Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. How do you determine if website X meets the criteria? Look around for information on who owns the website or if the website has a staff and established editorial processes; if the site doesn't have information posted online, send an email to the webmaster or editor. It can be hard to definitely prove the a website has a "reputation" for accuracy. Thus, it's probably easier to go with established sites to begin with, such as IGN or GameSpot. If you use a source with borderline qualifications, be prepared to justify the site at content review or to other editors. WikiProject Video Games has a partially-complete listing of vetted sources in print or online at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources, as well as more detailed information on what constitutes a reliable source. To find sources on the internet, checking Magazines Department where you can contact users to get copies of certain reviews, previews, or features from old magazines.

The following Wikiprojects are candidates to be turned into task forces. discussion . discussion . discussion . The first Featured article status—4X. Special thanks to Randomran for pushing the article up the quality scale. Feature: Departments WP:1.0 program, and more specifically in the Video games essential articles page. Two new quality ratings have been implemented into the Assessment Department's scale. The new Wikipedia-wide C-Class rating (see category) has been added to the scale between Start-Class and B-Class. Because of this, the criteria of the B-Class has been tweaked to better illustrate the difference between a B-Class and C-Class article. An older rating, List-Class (see category), has been added to the scale as well. It is mainly used on pages that have very little prose and are primarily tables and lists of information. Editors are encouraged to submit articles for assessment if they feel an article has made significant progress up the assessment scale or has gained importance within video game articles. Assessed articles generally receive some feedback to further improve the article. Experienced editors are also encouraged to help with assessment of articles when the number of requests gets too large. Peer Review Department: The Peer review process for WikiProject Video games exposes video-game-related articles to closer scrutiny from a broader group of editors, and is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a Featured article candidate. It is not a academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other. Editors are encouraged to use the Video game peer review process, as well as the Feature list candidacy as articles cannot be a candidate for GA or FA while at peer review. Editors are also encouraged to leave feedback for articles undergoing peer review. A process such as this will not work if editors do not give as well as take. Feedback can range from brief comments after skimming through a page to a full blown dissection of grammar, structure, and references. Either way, every bit helps.

If you have assisted in working on and improving a current Featured article, Good article, or A-Class article, please check the workshop page to see if the article is recommended for inclusion. Articles will need an id version submitted to ensure it is included. They will also need to be cleaned up if maintenance tags and other issues are present. Participation is not restricted, and if you can assist with the preparation effort, it would be greatly appreciated. Things to remember for preparation The workshop page has a notes section for each article. Clean up suggestions have been left for some articles. Do a light sweep of the article to address any vandalism andclean up tags: citation needed, more references, lengthy plot, etc. If you need help with an article, post on the talk page. Because some articles were promoted over a year ago, they may need to undergo Good article review . Be sure to list the oldid on the workshop page and User:SelectionBot/0.7/V-3.

A Sega task force has become a Video game task force: Sonic task force . WikiProject Sims has been moved to a page under The Sims task force page. Feature: Article Importance Article importance is an assessment of a topic's importance in understanding a specific higher level topic. Assessments are maintained by WikiProjects and reflect the project's view of what is essential to understanding their scope. In the VG Project's case, all importance scales are in terms of understanding video games. A video game article's importance is listed and set in the {{ Assessment Department by submitting a request . Recent discussions at the VG Project's talk page have called for revisions to the practice of assigning article importance. The discussion began in mid-November with the goal of clarifying what level of importance should be assigned to certain type of articles. It eventually expanded to creating a standardized table of importance to serve as a guide for current and future editors. The discussion has focused on and shifted to several topics including flaws of previous practices, new ways to view assessment, other project practices to emulate, and specific articles which are exceptions to proposed guidelines. A brief pole and discussion determined most editors felt that the bulk of some topics—specifically individual video game, series, and character articles—were not essential to understanding video games, making them ineligible for top importance. The discussion then shifted to tweaking the wording and layout of the table. The current proposed table is being issue of whether some topics —specifically character articles—should be allowed to be rated importance has also been brought up. As always, member are encouraged to voice their opinions and engage in discussion to determine consensus so the new assessment scale can be implemented.

Importance scale has been added to Assessment page. A search bar has been added to the archive box on the VG project talk page . Searching the discussion archives is now much easier. Feature: Video game notability Video game related articles fall under niche categories on Wikipedia: "Culture and the arts" and "Everyday life". Because of this, they are often required to demonstrate notability more than other topics. Wikipedia defines notability as "worthy of notice", and considers it distinct from fame, importance, and popularity. Though it is acknowledge to be related to fame and the like, it is important understand that being famous, important, or popular does not mean a video game article should be on Wikipedia. Being notable means that a topic has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Wikipedia's policy also stipulates that this only presumes to "satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." This means that though an article may meet the criteria on paper, it is up to the community to decide if a topic truly is notable and/or violates other policies such as WP:NOT . In short, just because a video game, character, or related topic exists, does not mean it should also exist as a Wikipedia article. Dealing with non-notable topics Articles that do not meet the criteria are either deleted or merged into a relevant topic. WP:Articles for deletion (AfD) handles the deletion of non-notable articles, among other types, and has an established process to begin discussions about reasons for deletion. If an article is a subarticle of a larger topic, merging it into the larger topic article is a more desirable action. For example, the main character of a video may not be notable, but has received some mentions in reviews. It would benefit both topics, the character and its video game, to include the content into the article of the video game; essentially using a small, weaker article to strengthen a larger more notable article. Things to remember The best way to show notability is to provide reliable sources about the topic. Notability is less about keeping articles out of Wikipedia and more about making sure readers are provided articles about significant, quality topics. While you may think a topic is notable, others may disagree. Try to keep a clear perspective when assessing notability so discussions can reach a consensus. AfD is more of a last resort and is not always the best course of action to take. Consider starting a merger discussion first, as some editors may not fully understand why an article they started is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Several video game articles appeared on Wikipedia's main page this month. Marble Madness was featured on the Main Page as "Today's featured article" for January 11, 2009.

Editor David Fuchs was interviewed for the Dispatch of the January 17th Signpost. Herr Fuchs was selected by having the second highest number of FA nominations in 2008, many of which were video game articles. Video game genres ". Featured editor: This issue we are trying a new type of newsletter feature: "Featured editor". This is a chance to learn more about the various editors who contribute to the Video games project as well as the roles they fill. If you enjoyed this new feature and would like to see similar interviews in future issues, please drop us a note at the VG newsletter talk page . David Fuchs (also known as Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs), is a long time video games editor that has written a large number of the project's project's talk page offering advice and his input on the various discussion taking place there. What drew you to Wikipedia, and what prompted you to begin editing? I got involved due in part to (I believe, my memory is fuzzy) finding the site while doing research for Halo video game franchise, specifically the article on the parasitic Flood . What got you involved in writing Featured articles? I think for most editors it's a shiny accomplishment you are striving for, and natural for most editors to try and get an FA. I first nominated an article for FA in 2007, after about a year of inactivity onwiki; it didn't pass as it was poorly written and didn't follow our guidelines for writing about fiction; I also took a couple of tries to get my first video game FA (Halo 2 ). What article(s) are you most proud of writing or exemplifies your best work? I suppose Myst is a sort of accomplishment I can point to; I started work on the article on May 2 2008, when it looked like this, and submitted it to Featured Article Candidates one day later. I think that's some kind of record, but I dunno. In terms of being a good read or something I'm very happy with, however, I'd have to look at my more recent work, specifically Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Bone Wars. How do you pick the articles you work on? Whatever hits me. There's many articles I haven't gotten around to editing and improving as planned because another article has caught my fancy. What advice would you give to editors seeking to write quality articles? In the words of one of my favorite cartoon characters when I was a child, "We must do reeea-search!" Even in video games, online sources don't usually cut it. Even after getting an article to FA, make sure you continually trawl the internet and elsewhere for more information to add to the topic.

Feature: Weekly Collaboration The VG Project Collaboration of the Week is a new effort to improve important video game articles of low quality. Every week, an article is random selected by AnomieBOT from the Stub-, Start-, and C-class categories that are rated either High- or Top-importance . Such topics can offer a reader a good deal of encyclopedic information about video games, but are often too underdeveloped or lacking the proper level of writing and sourcing to accomplish this. All editors are welcome and encouraged to participate by offering their insights and suggestions. Having a pool of different editors, both old and new, will help maximize improvements to the articles as well as our editing skills. History Collaborative efforts have come and gone within the VG project several times before. The first such effort, the "Gaming collaboration of the week", began in October 2004 as a result of the several other weekly collaborations popping up on Wikipedia. It proved to be quite successful at improving articles to meet Wikipedia's standard at the time, but the effort eventually saw less and less participation. A second effort, the "Improvement Drive", began in August 2005 with the intent of improving articles to FA-quality. However, few nominations and articles were selected. The decline in participation in the collaborations and peer reviews resulted in a third effort. It began in February 2006 as a workshop, but never got off the ground. Numerous discussions have taken place on at WT:VG to jump start collaborations and improve the process to prevent its decline again. While previous collaborations selected any video game article, most editors felt focus should be on video game topics more encyclopedic in nature—topics that are also generally in poor shape because of lack of attention. A common problem mentioned was that previous nomination processes were lengthy and hindered participation. The current idea to automate the process was brought up by JohnnyMrNinja, which was further discussed to iron out the details . Current collaboration The current collaborative efforts began in mid-January 2009, and several articles have been improved by editors. The random choice is intended to minimize the selection process, which allows editors to focus on article improvement. Improvements include better organization of content, massaging and copy editing the prose, removing excess non-free images, and much more. The random choice is also meant to encourage participation from editors of varying interest and help prevent burnout. If the present selection is not to your liking, wait until next week. Editors are encouraged to add Template:Collab-gaming to their watchlist to see which article is selected. Recently selected articles are: Week of January 19, 2009: Video game genres – See how it improved Week of January 26, 2009: History of video game consoles (fourth generation) – See how it improved Week of February 2, 2009: Action-adventure game – See how it improved Week of February 9, 2009: Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss – See how it improved Week of February 16, 2009: Joust (video game) – See how it improved Week of February 23, 2009: Cartridge (electronics) – See how it improved Things you can help with: Summary of Video games WikiProject open tasks view watch edit history shell vg talk alerts purge AfDs Rick Jay Glen (1 participant) Unreleased third Minecraft album (2 participants) Kelly Metzger (4 participants) David McGarry (3 participants) Stumble Guys (8 participants) Do You Like Horny Bunnies?

The newsletter is meant to help connect editors, keep them up-to-date with the activities of the VG project, and improve the knowledge of our members. We've compiled a list of questions to help gauge the effectiveness of the newsletter's first year. Answers will be accepted for a three week period following the deliver of the March 2009 issue on Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Just to clarify, this is not an April Fools' Day gag, and we would really appreciate honest criticism. Information obtained from this poll is intend to alter the newsletter for the better. So don't feel you should hold back or give answers similar to everyone else. Feel free to voice your opinion on the Poll page. Feature: VG Barnstar The Video Game Barnstar The VG Barnstar is an award given to Wikipedians recognized for efforts and contributions to improve and develop video game related articles. The VG Barnstar is one of many Wikipedia Barnstars designed to be given to editors that have helped further the overall quality of Wikipedia. It was created in February 2006 by Jacoplane—see past discussion for details—and has been given to numerous editors since. Sometimes editors with multiple Barnstars use an alternative way to display them: ribbons. Barnstars are designed to be given by anyone, so don't be shy as everyone enjoys appreciation. If you have noticed or have been impressed with the work of an editor, feel free to let them know by placing {{ subst:Barnstar VG |"message" ~~~~}} on their talk page. The template uses a parameter to include a message expressing the reasons behind the award.

I think it would better fit that all Gran Turismo 4 is actually linked there since a reader may want to click on all those links to see those games. Linking it so far away makes it difficult for a reader to track said link. Per

WP:OVERLINK#Link_density, "If a later occurrence of a link is separated by a long way from the first. Avoiding duplicate links in the same section of an article is generally a safe rule of thumb." I think it'd be more appropriate to link it where the other games are mentioned. Strongsauce (talk) 17:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply

]

I'm okay with that, but more specifically because it's sortof a list, and the user may be looking there to click, as you said. Would you do the honors? --Teancum (talk) 18:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Space II date

"the date is in there. please stop removing it." doesn't really help to explain where the date is, all I can see is "Q1 2011". The burden is on you to not only provide a source but make sure it is verifiable. Rehevkor ✉ 23:50, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is no burden of proof on me, it is on the page. Search "January" and you'll find it. It's also easily verifiable by searching for Dead Space 2 release date on Google. Also please see Wikipedia:Verifiability#Tagging_a_sentence.2C_section.2C_or_article regarding removal of information. Since Dead Space 2 isn't a biography, its preferable to use the cn tag rather than remove the information outright unless it is vandalism/speculation. Strongsauce (talk) 23:54, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is not to say that any uncited source should be left in, just that at the time there was nothing to cite other than the conference, by the time the initial revert came in any search about the release date could have been cited rather than just getting it removed. Strongsauce (talk) 00:02, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material" (seeing as you cited WP:VAR above I would have thought you would have already read this.) So yeah, the burden is yours. I have not only read the source provided I searched before I even removed it, common sense dictates I had already done as such, I can find nothing to verify your claims. So I am asking this directly, where in the source you provided does it state the release date? Rehevkor ✉ 00:28, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply

]

Oh, and tagging is optional. Video game release dates are often based on dates on pre orders, which are unreliable - so it's best to remove them until a concrete source is. Sorry, but that's how I roll. Rehevkor ✉ 00:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
