Suggested WikiProjects
Hey Bchill53—thanks for your recent contributions. I noticed your interest in Wikipedia's video game content and thought you might be interested in the video games WikiProject. We've done some great work (over 250 pieces of Featured content and over 1200  Good articles), but there is plenty more to do. Come say hello on our talk page, participate in our current events, or let me know if I can help with anything. Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope I'll see you around.

 * Thanks for the introduction! I hope to check out the pages and help out however I can. :) I was glad to see everyone have such niche specialization in research areas. I am passionate about Nintendo software and accessories, so I'm hoping to contribute to anything in those fields that could be improved. Hope to see you around! Bchill53 (talk) 17:09, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Fantastic, there are lots of Nintendo-related articles in desperate need of improvement. Recently there has been a band of us making improvements on Sega articles, so we need balance in the force. Be bold! If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ping me. TarkusAB talk 19:16, 19 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I'd like to apologize for not communicating with you on the Sonic Gems Collection talk page. I've been caught up in tons of stuff lately (both on Wikipedia and in real life) and feel bad that I made you feel like you were being ignored... hope there's no hard feelings JOE BRO  64  22:54, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries at all. I appreciate you saying something though to clear things up. :) I am brand new to editing on here, so I was a little worried that I wasn't notifying you correctly. I'm glad that we started a discussion. Hopefully the discussion continues and we come to a mutual conclusion to make the page even better. You contributed a ton to it. All your content is great, I'm very pleased with the information there! But it'd greatly help the readability to have an aid similar to one that provided. Hope to see you around.

Season's Greetings!
I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays". :) JOE BRO 64  13:48, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Haha thanks, . This was fun to see. :) I enjoyed the Christmas break. I hope you had a good one too! Now to start on our New Year's resolutions to change that Sonic article. :)

About the check mark
Hi, i know this is old, but i just want to reply to you about the use of the check mark in the video game list last time. It was added last time so that we can easily sort the games released in a region by alphabet order. Example, to view only games released in Japan in alphabet order, you can sort by the check mark first then sort by alphabet. By removing the check marks, people need to scan through the whole list if they are interested in viewing the games released in only one region in alphabet order. I don't know when it is decided to remove it from all the list, but since every page are using the same format now, it should be okay since no one complain about the removal of the check mark yet. -155.69.160.75 (talk) 03:05, 12 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see its purpose now. Thanks for the heads up. Yes, I aimed to have all of the lists consistent, so I was wondering why a few were different in that regard. I hope it doesn't cause any issues, thanks. --Bchill53 (talk) 16:39, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Request
Hi! On the "List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System games" article, can you fix the publisher information on games that have more than one publisher, please? An example is Pocky & Rocky 2 where it says "Natsume NA/JP, Ocean Software EU" instead of "Natsume (JP/NA) Ocean Software (EU)". 2605:E000:121D:8BF5:C918:17B2:AB4C:4391 (talk) 02:16, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi there, thanks for the heads up. It really isn't that hard to solve. I think it would've been quicker than reaching out to me haha. Just open the 'Edit source' tab on the List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System games page, Crtl+A to select all of the text, and copy it into Microsoft Word. In Word, use "Find and Replace" and Find " " (without the spaces) and Replace them with "(", then Find "" (without the spaces) and Replace with ")". Then Ctrl+A to select all that text in Word and copy it as the new Wikipedia page. You just have to check that there weren't any exceptions that are now messed up because of your edit, but it doesn't look like there would be. --Bchill53 (talk) 22:43, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Non-existent categories
Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Pac-Land, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change. Thank you. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:18, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. I meant to correct the misinformation and just assumed there was a category under Famicom games, similar to one for NES games. --Bchill53 (talk) 18:22, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thinking back on it, I remember previewing the page and not seeing where the Categories section was and figured I was probably right to change it to that anyway and left it. Do you know of how I can check that to see if it isn't a redlink? (I'm afraid you'll tell me it's somewhere obvious that I just didn't see haha...) --Bchill53 (talk) 18:26, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Umm ... just scroll down to the bottom of the page and see if any of the categories display in red. You can do this in preview, or do it after you save. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:30, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. Found it at the very bottom. I was scanning around the notes/references area and never noticed it before. I'll keep an eye out, thanks. --Bchill53 (talk) 18:42, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Japanese titles
Please be careful when interpreting Japanese titles. For example Hey You, Pikachu! was titled Pikachū Genki Dechū (ピカチュウげんきでちゅう) in Japan. It was not titled "Pikachu is Fine-achu". That is just a translation of the title, not what the game was actually called in Japan. The current way it's written on Hey You Pikachu is appropriate, but it could be put in a footnote I suppose. TarkusAB talk 17:21, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

But I do want to say that your edits have been mostly helpful and good cleanup so thank you. TarkusAB talk 17:27, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * That's the only Japanese title so far that's been unusual like that haha. I wasn't sure how to display the translation of the pun. I'll adjust it; I think it deserves a footnote, but maybe something more faithful that still explains the joke. Thanks for the heads up. --Bchill53 (talk) 17:33, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * No problem. That particular title was unusual but I also undid the changes on Sin and Punishment and Animal Crossing (video game) for the same reason. Not gonna scroll through all your contributions or anything, this is just stuff that popped up on my watchlist. But anyways, something to watch out for. TarkusAB talk 17:37, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Atari 8-bit family games category vandal
Hi! Can you do something about a vandal who keeps adding the "Category:Atari 8-bit family games" link onto EVERY list of games released on consoles, handhelds and computers articles (an example being List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System games), please? I tried to remove the link in the non-Atari 8-bit games list articles but it doesn't appear in the editing pages. 98.148.147.172 (talk) 00:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Haha well thanks for thinking I'm important, but I'm probably not able to help out with that. I would just take it down and, if it were to pop up again, contact an admin to block the person or perform another similar course of action to resolve the issue. I can just vouch your argument that it probably shouldn't belong there. -Bchill53 (talk) 18:30, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
