Video games
Hey Lone Internaut—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 300 pieces of Featured content and over 1000  Good articles), but there is plenty more to do. You can watch our announcements page for article review, feedback, and cleanup suggestions. Our talk page is a also good place to request third opinions and otherwise to ask questions and get feedback. If I can help with anything, swing by my talk page any time. Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope I'll see you around. czar 19:37, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Nathan Drake (character) into Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:52, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Re: Dragon Age Origins as an Action RPG
Hello Lone Internaut,

My apologies for reverting both of your edits - and not just the one where you changed the genre on Dragon Age: Origins. That was a mistake and I shouldn't have done that. As to the genre, just because it isn't turn based, doesn't make it an action RPG. I've never seen any game that is real time with pause referred to as an action RPG. Other examples of the genre include Baldur's Gate or the other Infinity Engine games, Pillars of Eternity. I will be making a comment on the talk page for Dragon Age to discuss this.

Gravity gun
I reverted your changes then I renamed the page Gravity gun (video game concept). I did it because I hate knowledge deletions, especially when it's justified a stupid way. If you want a page centered on the Half-Life version, write it yourself. Nicolas.le-guen (talk) 00:01, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Big Daddy (BioShock), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ken Levine ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Big_Daddy_%28BioShock%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Big_Daddy_%28BioShock%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Vgrelease use
Please read WP:VGDATE, especially towards the end. Vgrelease should not be used when it contains a single WW date. This creates unnecessary HTML lists with no visual benefit. -- ferret (talk) 00:50, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Remove VGR if you remove the region. Regionless VGR uses populate a maintenance category to be repaired. See this. -- ferret (talk) 13:29, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry didn't know that. Mistake by mistake, I will learn. Thank you. Lone Internaut (talk) 04:09, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Video games assessments
If you plan to continue to reassess articles for importance within the video games WikiProject, please take a minute to read/review WP:VG/A. I noticed your change to Ubisoft, where Indrian reverted your importance assessment. The revert would not have been necessary for two reasons: 1) It is listed directly in the table as a high-class article, not a top-class, meaning your edit was basically off-base, and 2) It doesn't meet the criteria for a top-class assessment. I have similarly reverted another of your re-classifications, for the same reason as Indrian.

You should probably also review the the criteria at WP:VG/A.

Though I haven't taken a lot of time to review all of your edits, I would guess you are focusing on the wrong stuff as a new editor. Try finding a low-quality article to improve instead of mussing around with the meta-side. --Izno (talk) 00:12, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your advice, but I think I will not follow it, since it wasn't needed. Does not it seem a little daring by you to believe or affirm that I have begun to reassign articles by importance, without having first documented myself properly? Without having read a single line about WP:VG/A? I am not a random IP who likes changing things as he wishes.
 * I did edits both by this type and/or improvement in normal VG-related articles. Some users thanked me, some edits have been appreciated, others less. But some were undoubtedly essential, and some re-adjustments by importance, even crucial.
 * As in this case, here. "In retrospect, Sweet Home is considered to be a groundwork for the survival horror genre . It served as the main inspiration behind Resident Evil (1996) which was a massive critical and commercial success, launching a multimedia franchise Next games in the series continue with the use of quick time events, inventory management systems, and ghost story elements Sweet Home's Metroidvania-style exploration, storytelling methods, and horror elements have been cited as precursors to key elements found in other successful games decades later."; yet it is "Mid-importance", when "High" requires "Series and games that have been shown to have a lasting impact on a genre, culture or the industry itself". And this is just one example. There are a lot of things to be put right, and it doesn't seems I am the one who doesn't read about things, then. Lone Internaut (talk) 21:52, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If my advice were unneeded, you would not have had 4-total project members disagree with your attempted inclusion of WP:VG at Talk:HDMI.
 * I assume nothing but that you have few edits here (and elsewhere). I do not know if you know about the assessment page, so I provide it. If it turns out you do know about it, great! If not, then great!
 * it doesn't seems I am the one who doesn't read about things, then Remain civil please. You do not need to cast oblique aspersions.
 * As I said before, I think maybe you should work on some stuff in the article space. But it's up to you. --Izno (talk) 04:02, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, I was just saying in general, about the project itself, not talking about you in specific.
 * Regarding the thing about HDMI, I explained, given reasons. All 3-total project members (you, Lee Vilenski and PresN, where's the fourth?) reverted my edits, no one has opened a dialogue or answered directly.
 * It would be very much appreciated to focus on similar edits, but that were well received by the project members. There are enough of them. But it does not matters nothing at all, at the end. It was a pleasure to cooperate, I will not bother you anymore. Goodbye. Lone Internaut (talk) 11:56, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
