Re: Check Out
At a glance, it looks like it has potential. It's well sourced with reliable sources and seems to cover all the broad aspects of the man's life. I didn't take an in-depth look at the grammar or prose, but those issues can be resolved fairly easily if there are any. You might put it up for a peer review for a thorough copy edit before nominating it, but otherwise, looks pretty good. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  01:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Prose could use some tightening, but like Hunter said that can be easily fixed.  The Flash  I am Jack's   complete   lack of surprise 01:57, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I can probably start on the copyedit for it tomorrow or Friday. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 04:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I have finished the copyedit, but if you want it to pass GA, the references need work. Some sites used, like Kotaku, are not considered reliable sources. Also, a number of sources list just the author and page number; if you are going to do that, you need a separate bibliography section with the entire citation for the book. As the article is now, I don't even know the title of the books you cite. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 04:45, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

I Dream of Jesus
I finished the last of the GAN problems off myself, which were mostly reference formatting and some other stuff. Too bad the iTunes info had to be cut. If you can find a reference for it, I'd definitely add it back. I also removed Garman and Smith from the lead because I don't think they were important enough to be mentioned there. Otherwise, though, everything else looked alright so I passed it. Congrats! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  21:40, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at WikiCup/Reviews.

Nintendo task force membership update
Hello,

It's that time again to update membership status with the Nintendo task force, which we try to do every 3-4 months (though it's been actually 6 months since the last one) to keep our membership up-to-date.

All participants have been placed on an "Inactive participants" list. To confirm that you're still a member of the Nintendo task force, simply go to WikiProject Video games/Nintendo and move your name from the "Inactive participants" list to the bottom of the "Active participants" list. If you are no longer an active member in the task force, you may simply remove your name altogether. After 1 month, on 1 April 2010, all entries under the "Inactive participants" list will be removed. Hopefully you can stay with us and continue to work on Nintendo-related articles. Regards, –MuZemike 17:31, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

April 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Super Mario Galaxy 2, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ''I won't remove it right away, since it seems like it all can be sourced. Just try to source it.'' Blake (Talk·Edits) 15:02, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Revert
Hi Pedro, this is just a notice that I undid an edit you made to Donkey Kong. This was mainly because the content you inserted was uncited speculation. Particularly, you said "It was said"; who said it? Also, you inserted a rumor. Wikipedia isn't for rumor's, it's for facts. I hope you understand. Thanks, Mm40 (talk) 17:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Shigeru Miyamoto
The article Shigeru Miyamoto you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Shigeru Miyamoto for things which need to be addressed. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 12:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Kid Icarus
Yeah it looks good. Feel free to submit it to WP:GAN. It shouldn't take long to get a review since there's an elimination drive going on right now. Gary King ( talk ) 21:09, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Mario Land
Yeah that looks fine for GAN. And that's one of my favorite games of all-time. Gary King ( talk ) 00:20, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Although it looks nice, are you sure it is GA quality? There isn't much content... If that is all that needs to be written about the article, then I guess it would be fine for GAN. Just try to make sure there aren't more sources available for more content. Blake (Talk·Edits) 01:29, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * For GAN it should be fine. I can understand that it's hard to find information for a 1989 game. For FAC, probably more information is required. Super Mario Land wasn't really all that popular in its day, I think. Gary King  ( talk ) 02:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Super Mario Bros. 2
The article Super Mario Bros. 2 you nominated as a good article has failed, see Talk:Super Mario Bros. 2 for reasons why the nomination failed.

Image reductions
Hey you just promted this from your edits in regards to Super Mario Mario. For future reference fair use images should generally be around a with of 300px, which would make the 483px still to large. Also when you have reduced an image instead of just removing, you should change it to  so that then the older versions of the image that dont comply with fair use rules will be deleted. Ive replaced the Super Mario World image so now that should be fine. Salavat (talk) 13:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:54, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were (A),  (B, and the round's overall leader),  (C)  and  (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

Franchise templates
Sorry about reverting your edit, I thought the policy was pretty clear cut about what should be linked and what shouldn't be-- looks like I was rather wrong about that. I asked for comment here in WikiProject video games about franchise templates in general because of not only my confusion about it, but because of an earlier question about the Sega template. Again, sorry about my confusion. -- Nomader (Talk) 03:13, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to, who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by. We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.
