Manga articles
Best thing to do would be the sandbox a version of it, and the only list that I have seen for reference would be the List of Final Fantasy Titles. Judgesurreal777 17:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:KH media
Well, the sandbox article looks good. Personally, I don't like "List of media" articles; I'd much prefer if it could be integrated into the series article somehow. However, it seems like a good interim solution which might make WP:FL status if we try. As for the moving concern, I would move the manga article to the new title first; this would keep the edit history in the same place for the most part. Then I would copy and paste your sandbox into the moved article with a link to the sandbox revision in the edit summary (e.g. Edit summary: "moved from my sandbox ").

 * Good job on the Univ of KH article GA pass, too. What direction do you think we should go next? Characters? Axem Titanium 15:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Characters may take a bit of work. Characters of Final Fantasy VIII is where I like to look as an example. As for music, I think IGN likes to write articles about video game albums sometimes. I'll try to find a review or two from there. Axem Titanium 16:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The sandbox version looks really good, and would convert the somewhat useless manga article into a featured list, which should totally be the goal of this new article. Once your ready, redirect it to the new article where it can be polished.

My thoughts are, about the music article and the characters; perhaps the music could be merged into the series article, and the individual characters put together into the characters article which could be GA. Just a thought. Judgesurreal777 22:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, you really pushed that Music article. Tell me when you think you're done and I'll do some copyediting. Axem Titanium 21:18, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll get on it. Axem Titanium 21:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Adoption
If you wouldn't mind helping acclimate me to the community, it would be much appreciated. I work in IT (publishing, to be specific) so I'm not too concerned about learning the ins and outs of writing pages at the moment. My main concerns deal with the etiquette involved with contributing to articles, joining projects, progressing articles from stubs to featured articles, etc. Before I dig into things too much, I guess I'm looking for a better understanding of the whole process from a successful contributor on what I can do to be helpful as well. Thanks! Rohdeaa 01:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Development of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion FAC
Thank you very much for the comments, Guyinblack25! I've fixed the first and the last issues, and I've done something other than the introductory paragraph you recommended for the second to fix the problem you had. Would you mind going over the article and seeing if the changes I've made are to your satisfaction? Thanks again! Geuiwogbil 14:09, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support. :) Geuiwogbil 18:33, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

KH missing ref
Hey, I noticed you added a ref in this diff but it didn't show up. It is currently ref#52 and about something Nomura said. Do you happen to remember where you found that source?

Victorious Boxers
I think is ready for GA candidacy. Judgesurreal777 07:13, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think at a certain point, even if it isn't totally done, most people would pass it; it may not, but you can also get a GA review out of the bargain. Judgesurreal777 03:33, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts Featured Topic...Wow
I can't believe it actually happened, these articles were a disaster, and now they are fantastic, the best of wikipedia. Congratulations. Judgesurreal777 03:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * List of KH media is a featured list now, too. Awesome work! Actually, with a bit of work, Music of KH might make FA. Then all we'll need is Characters of KH to GA to complete the FT. Axem Titanium 15:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Character articles
Feel free to post at the Final Fantasy Talk page and ask about it, they are all there with nothing much to do right now. Judgesurreal777 22:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Featured article candidates/Golden Sun
I've added in a handful of 3rd-party refs to the gameplay section. I don't feel comfortable adding them to the in-universe (Synopsis) section, due to the fact that while they seem to get the game down right, the plot is erroneous on several sites I've seen. David Fuchs ( talk ) 22:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you take a look at the article now and see if I've addressed your concerns? David Fuchs ( talk  ) 20:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Help an adoptee
Just a few things I'm wondering. I've been making mostly small edits here and there, nothing really of note. I decided to dive into what seems like an easier page that needed some work - the 1994 NFL Draft page. It was a start page, and I've fleshed it out from containing just the 1st round of the draft to containing all 7 rounds. I am well aware this is simply the first step - the list has most of the data it needs, but I need to make a lot of references and the Player column has a lot of broken/missing links - I'm hoping to get it to look more like one of the FA draft lists like the 2001 NFL Draft or something similar. My question is more about the process - at what point do I mention on the Project Page that it needs some collaboration/review? And although I read about the 'request a comment' function, I guess I don't quite understand what to expect to get out of something like that. Also, is the page at least on the right track? Am I developing things in the right order, or should I be doing things differently? It seems to me that a typical article would probably be better served by citing references as the artice is being written, but in the case of a list, I actually have pulled all of the data from the two external links on the page. Can you give me some opinions on these questions? Thanks! Rohdeaa 02:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

GA of KH Chars
I've gone ahead and done it. I think it should do fine; you've done a great job with it. Axem Titanium 01:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

How do you source an image?
I don't know how to source an image but if you do, and  confirm the worlds, as well as the Darkside, Yellow Requim and Shadow heartless appearing in the game. Trainra 13:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the KH Games
Please stop adding in speculation and "confirmation" of overseas releases regarding the games, since absolutely nothing other than Coded has been confirmed. Now...I think its obvious we both know they ARE gonna be coming out...but for now, lets just try to get along and keep it "official" until we get a nice juicy confirmation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.24.125 (talk) 22:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

List of Japanese N64 games
I noticed your one of the people that wished there to be a list of Japanese games online for Wikipedia which I tried to make for the Nintendo 64 a few months ago, but just like when they where added to the orginal List of Nintendo 64 games they are trying to delete the new page List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games here's a link Articles for deletion/List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games to the discussion, how about giving your view.

Difference between A-class and GA-class?
Hi, I have noticed your talk on Ninja Gaiden (2004 video game) regarding A-class and GA-class articles. You said you have found your answer regarding the difference between the two, and an A-class article can be still qualify for GA-class. I am curious on their difference in Wikipedia. Can you help enlighten me on this? Thank you! Jappalang 02:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

FL Main page proposal
You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 18:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Dawn of Sorrow
Hello. Back when I wrote Characters in Castlevania: Sorrow series, I wrote a draft for Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, which I never got to finishing (see User:Sephiroth BCR/Dawn of Sorrow Draft). Given your work on Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, I think we can finish this up and move it to GA status. Much appreciated. Sephiroth BCR ( Converse ) 01:18, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


 * That's fine. There's no immediate need. I'm still dealing with the three lists I have on WP:FLC anyways. Thanks. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 23:47, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Many thanks. My little hope throughout this whole process would that I could eventually haul it off to WP:FAC as the first FA I've significantly written, and I'm fairly sure this can be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 16:05, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Dawn of Sorrow GA review
At Talk:Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, User:Macys123 posted his review. However, his review shows a lack of understanding of the GA criteria, and what it represents, further compounded by the fact he only has ~300 edits. Should I ask for a second opinion at WP:GAC, or work directly with the said user? Thanks. Sephiroth BCR ( Converse ) 21:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I asked for clarification on his talk page shortly after he posted the review, and he hasn't responded yet. Given how he handled the other review, I think showing other GAs (Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin would seem ideal) is suitable. Thanks. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 02:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

KH Featured Topic
Seems you beat me to the punch! You got it all figured out already, so all I'll say about that is congratulations!

By the way, as an extemely active wikipedian, if you are looking for articles to improve that would have a big impact, here they are;


 * Star Wars - Helps keep the Star Wars Featured Topic, which will be up for removal at the new year.
 * List of Final Fantasy media - It is the lead article of the Final Fantasy Featured topic, which was jsut removed and probably only needs a cleanup to be brought back to FL status.
 * Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - Up at Featured Article Review, and only needs a little boost to be saved I think.

Just some suggestions for future accomplishmente :) Judgesurreal777 18:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

thanks
Thanks for removing that. I was trying to find them out, I probably missed a few. I am trying to hunt the rest of them down. businessman332211 18:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Copyedit
Sounds like a plan! :) Judgesurreal777 16:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
