I'm not sure if you are watching the GA review page for FFCC, but I have started the review for Discography of the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series. ~Moon~ 月 と  日の出  ~Sunrise~ 04:48, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

ocremix link
I saw you removed my dead link flag for ocremix on Discography of Final Fantasy VI. Is the site still up? Checklinks and I can't get to it and I wouldn't want to tag more links if the site is there. —Ost (talk) 14:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Odd, I still can't get to the main ocremix page from here. I'll make sure to leave those links alone.  Thanks for taking the time to respond. —Ost (talk) 20:13, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Your Monobook
Your monobook is somehow being placed in Category:Unassessed video game articles. Is there someway you could take it out of that category? Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 13:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi there
Still plugging along with WP:FF, I see. And it looks like it's up to 50 GAs; the vision is coming ever closer to becoming a reality! &mdash; Deckiller 23:34, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Music of the Final Fantasy series
I'm going to be doing the GAN shortly for this article. Taking a quick glance at it, there are a few gaps of unsourced material (check the ends of the paragraphs for lack of referencing) which you may want to address. Hopefully tomorrow I can start combing through the article closely for copyediting, MoS, etc. MuZemike 23:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that I have not ignored the GAN, yet. Had some RL and non-GA stuff to take care of, first. I just completed sitting down with a copy of the article, making grammar/syntax corrections. I'll make my initial copyedit of the entire article later this evening (I have some business to take care of this afternoon) and then make my assessment of everything else. MuZemike 19:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Placed on hold until corrections can be made. There is plenty of unsourced material still, but I understand that it's a rather large article. MuZemike 21:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Prose is now all good, the only things that still need to be addressed are the unreferenced section and one referencing error that I have noted on the GAN page. Almost there. MuZemike 18:16, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Passed. MuZemike 03:13, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I realized this article already passed GAN, but I stumbled across a recent GameInformer interview with Uematsu that might be helpful. I was going to use it to add to the Music section of Final Fantasy and figured you could use it to strengthen the main music article as well. Hope it helps.

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Music of Chrono Trigger
Nice work! But why did you remove the Brink of Time cover art? It's clearly discussed in the article; it qualifies for fair use. Kariteh (talk) 16:59, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

CE
Yeah. I'm thinking about what to do with it on Wikipedia. It's got a Wired cite, "Escapist magazine", Destructoid, Kotaku, Kombo, and something else (some affiliate of n4g). Nothing big like IGN or Gamespot, though, so I guess I'd never be able to make it an independent article. ZeaLitY [  DREAM  -  REFLECT  ]  05:49, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

So far:


 * Wired
 * Slashdot
 * Current.com
 * Gamer.nl (Dutch)
 * Nintendo-Online.de (German)
 * Elhabib.at (Austrian, I think)
 * Kotaku
 * Escapist Magazine
 * Kombo
 * Destructoid
 * Game-focus
 * LienMultimedia (French)
 * Joystiq
 * CNet
 * QJ
 * Techdirt
 * Generation NT (French)

And soon, an "official quote" from Square Enix that we've been promised. I'll be gone the next two weeks, though, so maybe someone else will have to undertake article creation, or we'll just wait... ZeaLitY [  DREAM  -  REFLECT  ]  07:32, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps June update
Thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts to the GA Sweeps process, a total of 396 articles were swept in May! That more than doubles our most successful month of 163 swept articles in September 2007 (and the 2 articles swept in April)! I plan to be sending out updates at the beginning of each month detailing any changes, updates, or other news until Sweeps are completed. So if you get sick of me, keep reviewing articles so we can be done (and then maybe you'll just occasionally bump into me). We are currently over 60% done with Sweeps, with just over a 1,000 articles left to review. With over 40 members, that averages out to about 24 articles per person. If each member reviews an article a day this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. I know that may be asking for a lot, but it would allow us to complete Sweeps and allow you to spend more time writing GAs, reviewing GANs, or focusing on other GARs (or whatever else it is you do to improve Wikipedia) as well as finish ahead of the two-year mark coming up in August. I recognize that this can be a difficult process at times and appreciate your tenacity in spending time in ensuring the quality of the older GAs. Feel free to recruit other editors who have reviewed GANs in the past and might be interested in the process. The more editors, the less the workload, and hopefully the faster this will be completed. If you have any questions about reviews or the process let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 18:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GAR
Thank you for taking care of it, PresN! I much appreciate it. Thanks and thanks again! Geuiwogbil (Talk) 23:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:GARs
Sure, I understand. I was thinking about taking a break on those articles and was going to do a reassesment on the Nintendo DS article. I understand that your concern. GamerPro64 (talk) 20:51, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Ivalice suggestion
Looking at File:Ivalice-time.jpg, it looks like it could be recreated as a free image, just a matter of knowing what the text is saying. What do you think/any ideas?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 15:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
