Talk:The Game Awards 2023

Protect this article, especially during the event run
Demand to protect this article, even during the event run to prevent anyone getting touch with this site. As a reminder, last year award show got the show ends with a confusion, which lead the article to go haywire. VernardoLau (talk) 18:21, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That would be something to raise at WP:RFP. Preemptive protection is generally avoided, though. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 23:52, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Overkill on pre award reception?
Keeping in mind UNDUE, I think the current reception is a bit too much on what individual authors consider snubs or the like. This section should focus on those aspects with multiple sources commenting on that, that being from simply watching my RSS feed being the unsurprising lack of Starfield and the issue of whether Dave the Diver is indie or not. There may be others but right now there seems to be a lot of following on what only one writer has said. M asem (t) 23:11, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree, its getting very close to a section devoted to what reviewers thought were snubs/surprises. If lots were saying the same thing it might be warranted, but almost half the information there I would get rid of at this point. Yeoutie (talk) 19:39, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Image change for Geoff Keighley?


I recognise currently on this page is an image of Geoff Keighley in this article that is titled File:Geoff Keighley - New York Game Awards 2019 (cropped).jpg and is located below the top infobox. Below this text is the image I am referring to.

However I think a more appropriate image to be used in this article would be this photo of Geoff Keighley looking directly at the camera where it is easier to see greater details in his facial features.

I recognise that this second image I am proposing to be used is indeed older however I believe it contains greater detail and contains greater backlighting, I almost mistook the current image for Adam Hills because the current image is not very detailed. This image is titled File:Geoff Keighley, 2013 (cropped).jpg and is available from with a free use Creative Commons 4.0 International license.

I will also post this question on the talk page for Geoff Keighley.

 * For this article specifically, I think a more recent picture is ideal, and the 2019 image is suitable enough. That being said, I've replaced it with this image, which is from 2018 and much clearer. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 10:31, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Why is there a double dagger for winners?
It seems superfluous as the winners are already in bold and at the top of the list. Safes007 (talk) 06:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Most screen readers don't indicate text attributes like bold or italics, so those are discouraged per MOS:ACCESS. The double-dagger was specifically created for accessibility purposes, and is used in similar articles. – Rhain  ☔ (he/him) 06:49, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
