Protect the Site
Shall we protected this Site? We can't let any Anonymous Vandalism about the Recent Stage Rush Happiness is Simple (talk) 05:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I've requested protection at WP:RFPP. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 05:42, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, for this situation, we need to know the guy behind this recent interruption and some extra stories about how this went through. VernardoLau (talk) 13:21, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * the incident should be mentioned but unless this was a notable person before, we should not give extra attention to his nonsense. M asem (t) 14:10, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, as long as his past doesn't get fully described and even all the controversies that he had previously done for. I don't like to convert this event as a political statement. VernardoLau (talk) 06:46, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Since someone is constantly changing everything Elden Ring to Bill Clinton, I think this page needs to be protected. But that's just me. Nightbear 23:07, 12 December 2022 (EST)
 * Already requested at WP:RFPP again. The article is currently at the top of WP:ITN, so the vandalism isn't surprising. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 04:09, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks like the IP user has been blocked for the time being, but I definitely agree about needed page protection while this is on the front page.  —   Gestrid  ( talk ) 04:25, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

As Long as we keep the Site Protected, We'll make sure No Vandalism. --Happiness is Simple (talk) 01:29, 25 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep that lock on till Summer Game Fest arrival. VernardoLau (talk) 12:15, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Better get the Site Protected again. We can't let no Vandalism to Change Elden Ring to Bill Clinton. --Happiness is Simple (talk) 21:42, 21 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Best to keep this till after The Game Awards 2023, so everyone can finally ignored that Bill Clinton nonsense with another topic appeared on that edition of TGA. VernardoLau (talk) 05:24, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

excessive detail on the stage invader
It is 100% fair to describe the event, but I think in considering BLP (BLPCRIME specifically) that going into so much detail about the person's background, even if given by RSs, may be overkill. Really, we shouldn't give that that much weight given at from what I can see. M asem (t) 01:42, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think WP:BLPCRIME really applies, since there's no indication nor accusation they have committed a crime. Regardless, I don't think the background is excessive at all; it's two or three sentences giving context of their previous public appearances, just as the RSs do. Besides their age, the article shares no personal information at all. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 02:06, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Well also keep in mind WP:MINORS which applies here to a 15 yr old. The text we have is effectively accusing him of being a conspiracy theoriest, which is a BLP problem. M asem (t) 03:20, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * To be clear, I'm well aware of WP:MINORS; I in a hidden note to prevent excessive identification, and I've consistently let it direct each of my edits about the topic. I disagree with your second sentence, though; I don't think the text accuses him of being anything besides a prankster (and perhaps an activist)—but "conspiracy theorist" isn't even implied let alone accused, and  the only mention of the term to be safe (and because it was unsourced anyway). –  Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 03:48, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Commentary related to absence of Xbox-exclusive/key titles
There's probably enough sourcing that addresses what some felt was a missing Xbox presence and MS's response (eg ) M asem (t) 06:13, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Didn't think this discourse would evolve to the point of discussion, but Xbox's response makes it seem worthy of a mention at least. Added. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 14:45, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Disagree with this being on the in the news section
Not really notable on a world scale. Alexysun (talk) 02:48, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * "World scale" isn't necessarily the point of WP:ITN but, regardless, this sounds like a topic for WT:ITN or WT:MP, not here. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 02:52, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Memes?
Should we include the memes of the incident? I know that the memes got so popular that they got on the news Dangervest69 (talk) 22:34, 21 January 2023 (UTC)


 * No, the incident had no long term effects. M asem (t) 23:05, 21 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I agreed. We don't any of that. The Incident is already an Old News. --Happiness is Simple (talk) 01:27, 22 January 2023 (UTC)


 * The section already mentions the media attention; I don't think we need to get more specific than that, at least without a variety of reliable reporting. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 01:48, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

"Bill Clinton Kid"
The "Bill Clinton Kid" appeared again in the news, should we use this site to add more?

 * There's only a passing mention of the Game Awards in that article, so I don't really see the relevance. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 01:25, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * ok can we make an article about him or no HiGuys69420 (talk) 14:32, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No—see the discussion here. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 23:49, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
