Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Dora the Explorer. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Diffs:  Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:28, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Beats Electronics. Thelimiter (talk) 01:59, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Music stream question
Hi there. Thanks again for your help with the video game soundtrack article. Quick question for you. On occasion, there seems to be a disconnect between the soundtracks I can see as available for streaming and the ones you can see. I don't doubt you or anything, I wondered if it had to do with what platform you were using, or what region you're from. I'm from the US, and I have an Apple Music subscription. I have the Spotify app, but only use the limited free mobile version. I don't wish to pry, so feel free to not answer if you don't want to disclose, but I was wondering if you'd share your platform and location. If were different, that could help explain why we don't see the same things, and could help with adding notes on the entries. Let me know. Thanks! Sergecross73  msg me  02:39, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Streaming video game music article and sourcing
Hey again. Not sure if you're getting these, since you dont seem to answer my talk page comments, but the articles we've been working on has become under scrutiny for not following Wikipedia rules. I don't agree with that notion, but there is truth that everything on Wikipedia needs to be verified by reliable sources, so it's probably for the best that no more games be added without a source. It may be best to remove the unsourced entries for now too. (We can still look at the list as it looks like right now through the WP:PAGEHISTORY (like at this link here) and re-add them as we find sources (though we can't be using the streaming services themselves as sources either.)

Please let me know that you've read this and understand. Or ask questions to me if you need to. Thanks. Sergecross73  msg me  13:45, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I appreciate your hard work on the article. I know you're not an expert but I appreciate your efforts. We'll see what happens, but the best thing to do now is just do our best to follow policy and guidelines the best we can and hopefully persuade people against getting rid of it. If I undo any of your edits, please don't take offense, I'm just trying to do what I can to keep the article alive. Sergecross73   msg me  02:27, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I hear you. That's why I wasn't able to keep up with you when I was trying to find all the sources myself. Thank you for using sources now though, I appreciate it.
 * So, generally speaking, message boards are going to fail WP:USERG, so you would want to stay away from that source. WP:VG/S has a big master list of sources that are generally usable or not usable on Wikipedia. It obviously doesn't cover all sources, and a source doesn't have to be on there to use it, but generally speaking, you're in good shape if you follow what it says. Sergecross73   msg me  13:41, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Good work
Hey Nakhlaman. Yes, I do plan on circling back it it. I tend to come and go with my projects. Currently working on another one that's been taking me forever. I've been taking a look here and there at your work, and it generally looks like you're doing a good job. Thank you for your hard work on it. Don't burn yourself out on it either though - there's no deadline to meet afterall, and I imagine others will help us over time too. Sergecross73  msg me  02:28, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, thanks for the kind words about the streaming article. And thank you you so much for continuing to add to the list. I have the article on my WP:WATCHLIST so I see every chance you make. And I appreciate you keeping it up. That's the thing about me - sometimes I make something, and then my attention changes and I'm on to something else. I just kind of move from one thing to the next. So maybe someday I'll return to editing it, but in the mean time, I REALLY appreciate all your edits to it. Thank you!! Sergecross73  msg me  23:41, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Two things
Firstly, you may not use the small template inside an infobox as per MOS:SMALL and MOS:SMALLFONT.

Secondly, please don't add parent companies to film ownerships. For example Star Wars is not owned by Disney, it's owned by Lucasfilm. Disney just happen to be the current owners of Lucasfilm. Every company is owned by someone else, we only put the actual owner, not the parents of that owner. It's about who immediately owns the rights not someone further up the chain.

Your recent contributions to List of GameCube games
Hello, I'm Exeter caravan. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to List of GameCube games have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

 * What do u mean constructive? All I did was corrected the date. NakhlaMan (talk) 12:41, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Just edit the redirect
I saw your changes with the Capcom Production Studio 4 links. A better solution would be to just edit the Capcom Production Studio 4 redirect to go to the section you want. TarkusAB talk / contrib 04:36, 11 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Any tips on how? Because Production Studio 1
 * automaticalty redirects to the same section without putting [[Capcom#Development divisions|Production Studio No.
 * Studio 4 just redirect to the main Capcom page without going to the development division section?
 * So what do u want me to do? NakhlaMan (talk) 05:02, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh never mind I figured it out how to edit a redirect. Thanks for the feedback though. I appreciate it. NakhlaMan (talk) 05:12, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

June 2023
Hello, I'm Ferret. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Mortal Kombat II, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- ferret (talk) 13:25, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Edit summaries and SHOUTING
Hi NakhlaMan! An edit summary is intended to give a short description of your edit. It's not a great place to leave a message for another to read, like your edit summary STOP ADDING LUNA TO THE PLATFORM LIST!!!!!!. Chances are the person who added it will not read your comment. The all caps WP:SHOUTing IS NOT A GREAT WAY OF COMMUNICATING, neither is six exclamation points!!!!!! Please assume good faith, they're were probably unaware that we do not consider Luna to be a platform. It's best to start a discussion on the talk page, or if you noticed they've added it repeatedly to articles, just leave a short and friendly message. Maybe reach out to next time and explain your revert? Hope this helps. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:32, 13 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi NakhlaMan! DO NOT CHANGE IT BACK TO OCTOBER 25. is considered WP:SHOUTING. It was changed by a fairly newly registered user, who as of today has 12 edits to their name. They edited the article once and haven't done since. It's better to message them directly and let them know they made a mistake or start a discussed on the talk page. Writing an ALL CAPS EDIT SUMMARY THEY MIGHT NEVER SEE is not helpful. Would it be such a hassle to stop doing that? It's not particularly civil and it might come off as WP:BITEy to new editors. Thanks, and happy editing.

Do not vandalize List of Nintendo 64 games
Your recent contributions to List of Nintendo 64 games have been reverted because you vandalized the genre column. 116.39.24.217 (talk) 22:26, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

List of Nintendo 64 games and List of Dreamcast games - You removed columns which provide useful information. 116.39.24.217 (talk) 19:38, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * These edits are not vandalism. NahhlaMan approached multiple sysops and the WP:VG video game project for opinions before doing this, with consensus. -- ferret (talk) 20:12, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Xbox games revert
Game is a sports game. Why shouldn't I put genres in? Also the revert broke the list on that spot again. DJ Kaito (talk) 16:33, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Regarding time to beat stat on video game articles
I don't check my watchlist often (hardly ever, actually) so it was only today that I noticed your edit on Lego Indiana Jones 2. I've gone ahead and restored that content because I believe that there is good reason to include it: it's a source stating its effective opinion (that's the purpose of the source) about something easy to understand about a would-be-abstract aspect of the length of a video game. The length of a video game would otherwise be understood by a reader through the levels mentioned and how those are organized, but there is nothing to give away just how long the game should take. I think similar logic was employed on the other articles where the source is used.

There is the distinct possibility that there was a previous discussion about this that I am unaware of. If so, and you are merely an agent of consensus, please show me to this and I'll happily keep it off the page and probably remove it elsewhere. If not, I sincerely invite you to start a discussion yourself. Here might be a good place to start. - Mebigrouxboy (talk) 02:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Happen to be watching this talk page due to a twinkle warning the other week. @Mebigrouxboy That site is user generated and not reliable for use on Wikipedia. -- ferret (talk) 02:54, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The number given by the site is an aggregate, and the site is therefore a review aggregate, which makes it potentially usable under WP:UGC. Seeing as the site is not let listed under WP:RS/P, perhaps a wider discussion is in order? - Mebigrouxboy (talk) 03:03, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mebigrouxboy No, user polls and reviews are always WP:USERG. This is why we also don't include the Metacritic fan score. UGC even explicitly states that. -- ferret (talk) 12:50, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Unfinished AFDs
Just wanted to let you know that you didn't create the discussion pages for the three articles you recently AFD'd. Maybe something went wrong with your AFD tool? Axem Titanium (talk) 17:43, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Scitron Digital Contents
Hello NakhlaMan. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Scitron Digital Contents, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Hi. You haven't actually provided a valid WP:CSD rationale. May I suggest looking at WP:NOTDIRECTORY or something similar? That might perhaps be a starting point for a deletion *discussion* about this article. Please me know if I can help with this - or anything else to do with the English language Wikipedia. Thank you.

ESP
Regarding this edit for Radiant Silvergun as well as the Lunar edits...I'm not understanding why the address printed on the case is proof of publisher. We don't know why or how they decided what to print on the case artwork. Concluding that they must be the publisher is original research. TarkusAB talk / contrib 08:55, 6 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Also it literally says in Japanese that ESP is the Distributor or seller and also during the Saturn years, games they co-published either were filed under the T-series number of the company they partnered with or given a special T-series number. So Radiant Silvergun code SKU is T-32902G which Treasure's T series code is T-329.
 * If you still don't agree with me that's fine. NakhlaMan (talk) 09:38, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Tetris Plus
Do you have a reference on Natsume Co., Ltd. developing Tetris Plus ports? I checked Mobygames and it's not there. I looked up a video of the US version of the Sega Saturn version, and I find neither Natsume's name nor its employees in the credits. Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 03:39, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Look up Tetris Plus Natsume and you will see lots off sources that say it also btw it is on Mobygames. Tetris Plus Releases - MobyGames NakhlaMan (talk) 03:54, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

List referencing and reliability
Hi NakhlaMan, let me start by saying I acknowledge the huge amount of work you’re putting into video game list articles. For what it’s worth, it’s an effort I can really appreciate. That being said, I have concerns about where you are getting your information from and whether it’s coming from a reliable source or not. Some of your edits on List of Sega Genesis games and List of Sega CD games, the two articles I’ve seen you edit that I watch regularly, have removed sources without an explanation why in the edit summary. Moreover, I’ve seen a lot of edits that don’t add a reliable source for a date change, so where does the different date come from? Red Phoenix talk  01:37, 5 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Usually from the article itself which sometimes has a ref but lately Venky64 has putting Google Groups as refs which are a little unreliable although if you look at the edit history for Streets of Rage 2 he says "but games ship on Tuesday in America, not Sunday"
 * and being that this is after Sonic 2 with it's Sonic "2day" thing where they release games on Tuesdays it makes sense.
 * Also why didnt you approve the source from your talk page yet? NakhlaMan (talk) 01:42, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I’m very busy in real life and usually just have a few minutes here or there on my phone anymore, so apologies I have not had the time to look at the source you posted.
 * When you pull from the article itself, it HAS to have a ref. Just because it’s unsourced elsewhere on the encyclopedia doesn’t mean it’s right, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.  Any unsourced addition can be challenged and removed.  I happen to know when I worked on these two lists ten years ago for their FLCs, I went through and vetted every item to make sure it was reliably sourced to the listed sources I used. I’m sure more sources exist that verify higher levels of detail than I used in some circumstances (that were not available ten years ago), and I believe the lists can always be improved, but new additions must have reliable sources.
 * And a Google Group is not a reliable source. A reliable source would be if it’s on a reliable website or in a reliable video game magazine.  Nothing user-contributed would count toward that. It’s also not an automatic that after Sonic 2 every video game in North America was released on a Tuesday.
 * Long story short: if it’s not sourced to a reliable source, it doesn’t go on Wikipedia. If it’s already there elsewhere, it needs to be fixed, not copied.  Red Phoenix  talk  02:58, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

This is not acceptable, either. You need to bring the full citation over. A list is an article, too; don’t ever expect someone to have to go to another article to check a reference. Red Phoenix talk  13:54, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks Serge.
 * Yes I saw u should close the discussion. NakhlaMan (talk) 16:14, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Done! I also archived it, and put a link to it on the list's talk page so people are aware of the consensus too. You should be good to go! Sergecross73   msg me  16:20, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello NakhlaMan! Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:21, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
 * We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
 * If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

English loanwords in Japanese titles
Per Wikipedia's manual of style, "For transliterations from katakana, use the English spelling if available". For example, "Custom Robo V2" instead of "Kasutamu Robo Buitsū", and "DreamMix TV World Fighters" instead of "Dorīmumikkusu Tībī Wārudo Faitāzu".
