Talk:Skullgirls

It's out now
I should probably do this honestly, but this game is out now, time to be the present tense. --86.23.27.171 (talk) 08:50, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Objection
Objection to the deletion - More citations will be coming in the future, when I have more time to edit the article further. I also am looking to the community to add more specific citations soon. All information in the initial document is correct.

Proposed deletion
I removed the proposed deletion template. The article still needs clean-up and I think is still in a stub state, but should be notable enough. I tried focusing on including citations from multiple game coverage sites to establish notability. Obonicus (talk) 02:34, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Character Bios
I'm sorry, all the bios on the page are copied verbatim from the official website. This is against Wiki policy and violates copyright laws. If you want to add a detailed character section (though having one the same length as before is questionable) you can't just copy and paste. Deleted the section.Flygongengar (talk) 02:45, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

cite for xbox version?
There is no citation for the xbox 360 version; appears citation was for the PS3 version; Please add if you know where this info came from. --RichardMills65 (talk) 05:13, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

PC release date citation?
It says July 2012 but the source talking about it doesn't seem to be believable; I can't find anything about Skullgirls being out on July 2012. Not even on Steam.

Does anyone have better verification on when this game will be released?

Konami requested Skullgirls be removed from XBLA and PSN NA and EU.
Konami has requested the game be pulled from XBL Arcade, PSN NA and PSN EU. PSN JP and PC versions are not affected as Konami was not publisher for those versions. 24.156.211.95 (talk) 06:56, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, this has already been added to the article. Antoshi ☏ ★  18:48, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Controversy sub-section
I followed all the indication in the edit regarding the controversy of the review bombing and the censorship, and yet it's still not enough, there's always something new that gets all my edits reverted. Please, let's resolve this once and for all, Wani. Grew Baddymore (talk) 07:10, 2 July 2023 (UTC)


 * It is a good sign you're trying to discuss and come to a consensus, but those sources you insist on adding are deemed unreliable. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 07:14, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * First, BIC is used on other articles, that's why I previously added it, I also didn't find anything wrong in the article in how it was written and the source is not even among the deprecated ones on Wikipedia. Same about Niche Gamer, and I found out just a few minutes ago from you that apparently is not anymore a reliable source for who knows what reasons, despite their reviews and scores being collected by Metacritic and OpenCritic. Grew Baddymore (talk) 07:20, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This is also the reason I didn't want to discuss on the talk page initially, because the responses take too long. Grew Baddymore (talk) 07:42, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * So the whole issue here is that you keep trying to introduce sources that are unreliable or less reliable than the list of acceptable sources as determined by WikiProject Video games (refer to WP:VG/RS). The list of reliable sources is determined by project members based on past discussion and consensus. It is not exhaustive, but as a general rule of thumb, an article with "good article" status (the green plus sign at the top right) should stick to using sources from this list as opposed to random websites. So, Niche Gamer is already on the list of unreliable sources. Clutch Points and Bounding Into Comics could potentially be okay, but again, a GA should stick to the known reliable sources. An additional problem I had with your original usage of BIC was you trying to use it to insert the words "puritanical"/"neo-puritanical", which seemed to be pushing a specific POV against Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy. That SteamAH page looks like a blog and appears to only write game guides, so it'd be counted as unreliable. Also, take a look at this recent peer review I opened up for this article also: Peer review/Skullgirls/archive1. One of the critiques was the use of certain unreliable sources (Shoryuken, Fanbyte, etc.). I haven't been able to start addressing the problems presented in the PR yet, but in the end, the links you've been trying to add will just end up being replaced later on anyway.

 * Forgot to mention, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. Just because a source is used on other pages doesn't automatically make it fine to use here. And Wikipedia is not Metacritic or Opencritic. Those are websites that indiscriminately aggregate scores from other review sites. They have no bearing on what qualifies as reliable or unreliable here. Wani (talk) 23:49, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I’m late to the party here but for the love of… I dunno, the skull heart, Parasoul’s legs, whatever… don’t use BIC. It’s an extremely pro-GamerGate site so of course it’s unreliable. Using it would be an extremely bad look for VG good articles, which have already taken a repetitional hit from quite a few vg character GAs being deleted or merged. Dronebogus (talk) 11:58, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input. This new fact isn't too surprising in this case. With their insistence on using BIC and whatever the hell this is, and their extreme contempt with using Polygon as a source, Baddymore had a pretty clear agenda, despite their claims otherwise.
