Re: Yuri Sakazaki
I made a search some time ago but there was almost nothing about conception or reception (I have no idea where I can find conception of the art of fighting and fatal fury characters). The article I think it can be revived is the one from Joe Higashi, but I still couldnt get enough. I think that Billy Kane and Kim Kaphwan can have their reception sections expanded since I always find comments from them in reviews. I have also been searching for Andy Bogard reception but I couldnt find too much.Tintor2 (talk) 21:18, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I unmerged the Joe Higashi article after adding reception to his character. I ll later focus in adding more refs and making in-universe clean up. I cant decide what image to use, do you find a favourite between all of these?Tintor2 (talk) 01:58, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

He he, thanks. Yep, now I try to check if these sources are reliable.Tintor2 (talk) 02:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

By the way, what does the Blue Mary article need to be B? I added another image.Tintor2 (talk) 21:26, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I wanted to know if this is reliable source. This was added some time ago to the character list of KOF, but I removed it due to the weight issues and since there is already a general reception. I just wanted to know in order to see if this could help in a future rebuild of the Benimaru article.Tintor2 (talk) 01:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC) When you want to mark the first appearance of a video game character, what game do you use? The first the character was playable or when he/she appeared unplayable? This happens with Yuri Sakazaki; she first appeared in Art of Fighting 1, but she becomes playable in Art of Fighting 2.Tintor2 (talk) 13:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I think both ranked high in a SNK USA poll (K9999 ranked 7th with 156 votes and Angel ranked 3rd with 2498 votes). There may be reception about them in reviews from KOF 2000-2001 and KOF 02-03 since they only appeared in 2001 and 2002 (and Angel in the PS2 version from KOF Neowave). I suppose there must be controversy from K9999 since he was even removed from the remake of 2002, but I have no idea where is such info. The characters that I think they could revive their articles are King (from Art of Fighting), Rock Howard (lead from Garou, and has appeared in several crossovers and few KOF) and Raiden (from Fatal Fury) since he is the only new one from KOF XII and he is mentioned several times some Fatal Fury reviews.Tintor2 (talk) 20:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

A small question? Why some characters from the fatal fury character list are only mentioned in the Garou article? Is it because they were playable only in that game? Some street fighter characters only appear in one game but they are featured in the list.Tintor2 (talk) 23:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Dead or Alive Characters
I've asked this before (it's in Archive 3 in case you were wondering) but since you didn't answer I'll ask again: Why have you removed almost all Dead or Alive character pages? The current list with short explanations for each character is ok for the newer characters, but some of the ones that have been around since DoA1 have long background stories that are hardly explained now (if at all). Hayate is a prime example of this (which is why I attempted to restore his article). - Arnizipal (talk) 19:55, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)
Hi, it's me, in the past we met over the Mewtwo and Mew (Pokémon) articles, and elsewhere in the WikiProject Video games. I'm planning to take Shadow the Hedgehog (video game), an article I have worked hard on in the past couple months, to WP:FAC as soon as its peer review is complete. I recently rewrote the whole reception section, as well as doing a bunch of things that Ashnard told me to. If you can, though, can you give any comments, any issues that might stand in the way of it becoming an FA? Thanks. Tezkag72 (talk) 02:21, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Sugimoris025.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

RE: Source
Well, this information was on the brazilian magazine "Nintendo World", in which included an interview with Shigeru. It would be extremely hard to find this source because it is on a very old edition.

FF
I don't see how you say I was rushing. I posted it for discussion (except for the 2 subcategory blankings). Rushing would have been to impliment everything without talking about it. My concern is that practices and policy are not being implimented the same for FF series as other game series.

As for the famicom game, most of those are not considered blanket reliable sources. Other than the primary source you indicated, you have to be able to show that each and every source is reliable. Even then it could be called for relying to heavily on SPSs in an AfD discussion. I'm not going to do it now, but I am sorely tempted to if you can't find some independant secodnary sources (I would myself, but I have no idea where to look as they'd probably be mostly in Chinese. Doing a google search myself I find mostly blogs, forum posts and torrents...). As for Chrono Compendium, it was only as a lexicon of stuff from the game, ie a situational source, I claimed it could be used for. じん ない  08:01, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That's the problem...you need more than 1 reliable secondary source to show notability. 2 might be okay in most cases as a bare-bones, but considering this is unofficial game, its in Chinese only and the sources would all be SPS, more than 2 is probably necessary. The article could still pass as a notable section in the main FF article. Other series like Harry Potter talk about unofficial knockoffs if they have reliable coverage. じん  ない  08:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

GA reviews
First off, I don't why people keep taking bad GA articles I was thinking of reassesing (though happy they get delisted). But anyways, there's a problem with how you are reassesing GA articles. I notice you speedly delisted Nicole (Dead or Alive) and more recently Argonian. Good that you downgraded them, but you should explain why you delisted the articles, or do the thing you did for Kirby. Hope you remember in the future. GamerPro64 (talk) 01:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, at least explain why you delisted the articles. A good example of doing so is like MuZemike's speedy delisting of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time. P.S, I like the idea of an AfD of Argonian. GamerPro64 (talk) 02:25, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Infinite World
Concerning the merge, I did leave a section concerning the budokai merges on the Video Game Wikiproject. First and foremost, just because an article can be sourced does not mean it is notable enough to stand on its own. The game is very similar to previous entries, and does not warrent a seperate article. Any and all relevant information is already contained in the merged series article. Enough input was already gained from the merge discussion. DBZROCKS  Its over 9000!!!  19:11, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I noted that you once again reverted my edits without discussing first. I first would like to ask that we discuss before this turns into an edit war. First, the article may be cited, but that does not mean it needs its own article. The game is very similar to the other budokai games, and there is no reason for it to have its own seperate article, as there is no indication of it being any more notable than the other 5 or so games that have been merged. DBZROCKS  Its over 9000!!!  20:11, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

There is no reason to talk the discussion to the VG talk page, as the discussion is already in a more relevant place (the Budokai article), and a notifyer concerning the merge was already posted earlier. You have not given any reason beyond the fact that the article is "well cited" that the article should not be merged. However, the fact that it is cited again does not mean it deserves its own article, the gameplay, story and characters all overlap with previous games in the franchise. Please provide a reason why the article should not be merged. DBZROCKS  Its over 9000!!!  20:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Please point to the discussion that decided this, I would like it for future reference. Also, even taking that consensus into account, the current Infinite world article does not have enough information to justify its own article. The only unique things about the article are its reception and its development, both of which have been merged into the series article. Again, please state a reason as to why the article should not be merged. I do not see anything that the merged article cannot contain that the individual article could. DBZROCKS  Its over 9000!!!  20:40, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Tetris (arcade) and Tetris: The Soviet Mind Game
That's a tricky question, and one I'm not entirely certain about. I've read up about Tetris, but haven't done the full blown research for the article... yet. The original was produced for computers in Russia. Once its popularity broke out of Russia, developers basically ran over each other trying to get the licensing rights. Nintendo ended up getting the home console rights, while I believe Atari got the arcade rights (not sure about this, I've only read a little about the arcade release). Tengen, Atari's home console subsidiary, later released their own version based on the arcade version. Nintendo eventually sued and Atari argued Nintendo had a monopoly on the market by restricting who could create games for their system. Atari lost the lawsuit though, and the Tengen version has since become a rare collector's item.

So to answer your question, the Tengen version is a port of the arcade version, which is actually a port of the original computer version. I'm sure I have some sources you can use to cite this, but I'm not sure where. May take me a bit to find them. The Tengen version has a very interesting history because of the legal battles with Nintendo. Most reviewers also called it superior to Nintendo's, which only adds to it's value as a collector's item. It'll be an interesting article if you can flesh out the legal case info. You might want to contact Marty Goldberg as well. I normally go to him for fact checking of video game history.

On a side note, if you do keep working on the Tetris articles, I have a number of sources to make Tetris a quality article. I haven't done so because I have a lot of backlog already and the "Legacy" section will be a royal pain in butt to do; those sections are the most difficult for me. Same reason I've put off working on Pac-Man. Having articles like Tetris: The Soviet Mind Game already done will make it easier to do that section. Let me know if you want to work on it down the road. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:57, 14 June 2009 (UTC))


 * Here's a timeline you can use as an outline for digging up info on the intricate mess that was the Tetris licensing. Probably can't use TSR's site itself as a reference, (though interviews he has up can be used) but it'll at least give you something to refer to instead of stabbing in the dark.  There's also this documentary done by the BBC in 2006.  Also, Ed worked on both the Arcade version and the Tengen version (see this article from gamasutra).  So its more likely he saw it on the ST, petitioned for Atari Games to license it, then did the arcade version (released in '88) and then the NES version (released in '89).  Its even possible one was started off the other to keep project momentum going.  Tengen was just their workaround to be able to release their games on home consoles (Atari Corporation had rights to usage of the Atari name and logo on consoles and computers).  It wasn't really a separate company except on paper AFAIK.  --[[User:Wgungfu|Marty Goldberg] (talk) 23:20, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Only having one box art shows that there is a bias
Wikipedia articles must be unbiased. Showing only one box art to a game (in this case, Pokemon Gold) shows that the editors are biased to that one version of the game. To prevent that, an animated GIF that flips through all of the box arts should be used in place of a stagnant image of only one box art. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.97.163.96 (talk) 21:37, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Books that mention Mew
Do any of the books like Media and the Make-believe Worlds of Children: When Harry Potter Meets Pokémon in Disneyland that you apparently own or have access to (you added them as references to Mew (Pokémon)) and that mention Mew source any of the following statements from the article? It appears as a pink, feline-esque Pokémon with large feet, blue eyes, and a long tail. [...] Mew is obtainable in Pokémon Emerald via a Nintendo promotional event. After downloaded to the player's game, a man gives the player an "Old Sea Chart" which allows them access to a secret island, called Faraway Island. It can also be obtained in the WiiWare game My Pokémon Ranch and transferred to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In the non-Pokémon-exclusive video games Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, there is a small chance that a Poké Ball item contains Mew. When released, it simply disappears from the screen, as opposed to other Pokémon which attack players. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it may leave the player with a CD, a rare item that unlocks additional music in the game. I'm planning to take the article to GAN soon after I source all the information in it, so any help you can give is appreciated. Tezkag72 (talk) 18:44, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

 * WP:COI states it's feasible to cite oneself, as long as it's not done "excessively". Citing oneself like 50% of the time is badly pushing that IMO, but more importantly the fact that it's a minority viewpoint he was arguing so vociferously for, and then turns out to be the, erm, leading authority on, smacks of a conflict of interest to me. I'm inclined to remove most of the stuff he added and simply retain the mention of earlier, British, open-ended action adventures as an influence which is supported by the EuroGamer article. It might be worth bringing it up at WP:VG, but that would probably require notifying him as a courtesy which I can't really be arsed with, especially as he purports to have washed his hands of the article. bridies (talk) 10:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

RE:Bubbles GAN
I tried to fix the prose issue you brought up, and replied at Talk:Bubbles (video game)/GA1. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC))

Re: Thanks
No problem, I actually almost reverted it myself but saw the "instantaneous" just before I hit Save page. It was an easy one to miss. MelicansMatkin (talk) 21:01, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

United Kingdom eSports Association Assesement
Hi! Thanks for your assessment and advice to improve the article. I've got a questions to clarify what I should do, moving forward.

''You should avoid direct links within the body of the text itself. Use references if you need to link to those sites (the Membership section being the biggest example).''


 * Should I put it was a seperate section like the External Links section at the bottom of the page or should it go with the External Links section? Or would I have to add it in the References section -Ryoga3099 (talk) 16:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Like this?

The association is now one of the members of the International eSport Federation (IeSF) alongside the following eSports associations: eSport Verband Österreich (Austria) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryoga3099 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Final Fantasy V
Awesome job on FFV, want to make a Featured Push at some point? It has been my dream to get all the numbered final fantasy games to featured status, and this would be a big step, getting this long tim GA to FA status. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:34, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: Just checking in
Wow! That's some awesome work you've done with Barret! You didn't sound condescending at all; actually, it really is a bit difficult with those two (ironic, considering they have their own games while Barret, etc don't). I haven't gone too far into finding reception for Vincent, but I think Zack may be just too new when it comes to "Top 10/etc Lists" and such. He didn't have much of a part in FFVII, appeared briefly in AC, was unlockable in Ehrgeiz, and BC never came to the US. CC had a large impact, so I'm almost positive he'll begin appearing like mad in lists and FF articles in the future. It'd be great if you could keep your eyes open for any reception while you're looking around! In the mean time, I'll continue with my search as well. I'll start with Vincent; maybe there'll be some blurbs in DoC reviews about how he is considered "iconic" and whatnot. WhiteArcticWolf (talk) 00:06, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations on your new GA
I passed Astaroth (Soulcalibur) as a GA. Good work, man. By the way, would you mind reviewing Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for me? It's been at GAN for about a week. Tezkag72 (talk) 23:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Mewtwo
regarding this edit, your comments about your position "as being the primary article contributor" and the simple "no sir i don't like it" seem to suggest you might want to take a step back from the article and try to look at it objectively. Additionally, the wikiproject doesn't represent the end all of decisions regarding any article. you know, just for kicks, see if anyone outside the project comes along and makes a change... you forgot/didn't bother to change Pikachu back and it gets several times more views by the general public than Mewtwo, shockingly no one seemed to think the template was such an issue. I've left additional comments at the wikiproject. --&#65279;ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 02:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * at the project page you continually supported your viewpoint with examples of characters that i was immedatially able to show were different from the pokemon situation. when i asked for further feedback from editors on exactly what was wrong with the new template after the initial criticisms were addressed, i was ignored. wikipedia is not a beuracracy, and i don't need to be "getting approval" from wikiproject A or wikiproject B for every change i make, and certainly not for something that's not even really a content change. templates are there to make our lives as editors easier.  I am as idiosyncratic as they come, and if i didn't have to have a real life i could spend hours bringing pages in different categories into consistent styles, so i can appreciate your desire to have the pokemon species articles follow some sort of style. this template clears up confusion about the voice actors and provides information on the anime, manga, and trading card game, it's obviously superior to the simple version of te VG character infobox. --&#65279;ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 21:10, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
