Your editing
Obviously, you seem to edit a lot of articles in your own preferred style. While I agree with a lot of them, some of them are simply incorrect. For instance, mulitplayer should no be capitalised when it's the after single-player in the infobox, there's no space between refs and what's being cited, changing "box" to "cover" art (the one which was originally used should stay), linking video game (it's a common term), adding "Scores" in the title parametre on the VG reviews box (it already says "Review scores", so that what be repetitive). Please keep these things in mind in future editing. Thanks. The Prince (talk) 14:47, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Infobox Tidying
Hello. Just a few things to keep in mind when tidying VG infoboxes: JP and KO releases aren't notable unless the game was developed in Japan, same goes for CERO, USK and any non-EN ratings. Also, the convention is to just have the symbol for ratings - eg ESRB=T, not ESRB=Teen or ESRB=T (Teen). Good work otherwise though =) Thanks! Fin©™ 01:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and if you could separate out the releases so they'd be

instead of

that'd be great - the template sorts alphabetically, not chronologically. Much thanks! Fin©™ 01:49, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * And finally, USK/CERO can be notable for games that weren't developed in those countries if they were banned or something out of the ordinary happened. And if you could have each {{vgrelease on a new line, that'd be perfect (it helps with maintaining it). Sorry for all this. Thanks! Fin©™ 01:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Not wanting to be a dick or anything, but I'm actually referencing the syntax guide for the infobox when I mentioned about JP and KO releases - it states "Use the first public non-festival release in the game's country of origin, as well as any English-language release dates available.". Though if you feel strongly about it, you can try bringing it up at WT:VG. Thanks! Fin©™ 02:10, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
