Hello! Your submission of Soft & Cuddly at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Josh Parris 10:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

SF Barnstar
Many thanks for the award, and for your kind words. Didn't think people even bother to browse thru those lists. I enjoy doing this, reading + watching SF is 1 of my hobbies. ;-) MDGx &#9785;&#9786; 06:36, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I came across them when doing some assessments (long overdue now) for the science fiction project where you'd put in a request months ago. I work on lists myself so I know how much work it is and how it's pretty much invisible as lists are slowly reworked, weeded-out and expanded again. The list represents an area which will be of much interest to many visitors, so it only seemed right to show some appreciation. Someoneanother 17:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Soft & Cuddly
The article Soft & Cuddly you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Soft & Cuddly/GA1 for comments about the article. Well done! There is a hell of a number of video game articles waiting for review, so why not help out and review a nominated article yourself? :) All the Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 13:49, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review, I will endeavour to review some GAs when I get a minute, there never seems to be enough time. Someoneanother 13:54, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

GA review for In Cold Blood
Hi, I was wondering if you could review this article when you have the time? Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 10:05, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Because you've reviewed Soft & Cuddly, which is appreciated, it has introduced a conflict of interest. If I were to review any of your nominations during the Wikicup the review itself would be called into question, our integrity would be questioned and you would stand to get into hot water with the Wikicup organizers. Sorry, but I can't help. Someoneanother 13:47, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I don't really care about the WikiCup, but I understand what you're saying. :) All the Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 16:55, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll try to have a look at the articles and give them a proof-read, when I get some time, the work you're putting in is much appreciated. Someoneanother 14:47, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm currently pretty much finshed with my plan for Broken Sword to be a GA Topic, but the problem is that it seems that NO-one is reviewing VG articles no more, which results in nobody reviewing Broken Sword and Broken Sword: The Angel of Death. The only thing I could really add to the Angel of Death article is a bit more reception. Oh, and I'd like to know what's your opinion on the "Reception and legacy" section in the main Broken Sword series article? Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 15:02, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Stubhunt
Hi,

I know I am a very recent joiner of Wikipedia and I want do do as much as I can to help out. However, I have been getting a negative vibe from other Project members about my assessments in the 2012 Stubhunt. From my understanding, it is due to a formal lack of understanding in article rating criteria. I just wanted to leave this message here to let you know that I will remove my other volunteerings from the list until such a time when I feel I know enough about the standards of article assessment that I can actually contribute in a constructive way.

Thanks, "Makhram the Maniac"  talk  17:58, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

P.S. If you know of any other way I could help out that would be less intrusive, please let me know.
 * This is truly sad news, as I personally have nothing but praise for your work. You've done an impressive amount of work in a short time, and while a few assessments may have been less clear-cut cases, I would be ready to bet that any experienced editor would've had a similar amount of judgement calls. :)  Salvidrim!   19:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Your work's been very constructive Makhram, please don't be disheartened. You are picking things up very quickly and have a good attitude; we could do with more editors like you. Wikipedia editing is a complicated balance and there is always the possibility that someone else would approach the same task differently, interpret something in a different way etc., so don't let differences of opinion or the fact that WP takes some getting used to deter you. I would recommend keeping an eye on the video game project's talk page, having a look at the different processes to see what goes on (which may lead to you seeing something you'd like to edit) and above all focusing on editing articles which interest you. If you ever need to discuss something then there's the project, you are always welcome to drop by my talk page and I'm sure the same goes for Salvidrim. Someoneanother 20:33, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for both of you being so supportive. I was only thinking along the lines of, Since I am new, maybe this project is something to look forward to doing once I've gotten the hang of things instead of a starting project. I think for now, I will focus on task related to the Bethesda task force. "Makhram the Maniac"   talk  23:15, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Believe me: you're one of the fastest learning editors I've seen in a very, very long time. :)  Salvidrim!   23:36, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I feel kinda bad
For not really pulling my weight much in the Stubhunt. :-/  Salvidrim!   01:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * There is no expectation on you or anyone else to do anything, it will be done in the fullness of time one way or the other. No one should feel compelled to undertake work they either don't have time for or sufficient interest in - it's a great way of burning people out or boring them rigid. Your help and everyone else's in setting the thing up and doing some checking is much appreciated, but just stick to what interests you, the pay here sucks. Someoneanother 19:10, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Well I used to do some DabSolving in my off time, it's just that editing from work is nearly as comfortable as from home and I now work fulltime. :)  Salvidrim!   19:26, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Question about "popular review sites".
Hello, I'm from Chinese Wikipedia, and I have a question about "popular review sites". You are activity in video games' editing, so I hope you give me a help. :)

I'm writing Golden Sun: Dark Dawn in zhwp now, and I want to expand enwp by the way. Though my English is poor, I still think a try is better than do nothing.

My edit was [ deleted] by an IP user, because "absolutely horrible grammar and spelling in the piece of text in question and lack of mentioning any major or popular review sites". I think terrible grammar can be fixed by native, and I also love to fixing grammar faults in zhwp. So I want to know "major or popular review sites" means what? It's a great help for me, thank you!

For example, about "battle is easy", 1up said "The game rarely approaches anything like a real challenge outside of boss battles".a but I think review of GameCritics is more vivid: "fight is simply a matter of dialing up the magic attacks and waiting for the experience points to roll in".bAnd I think 1up and GameCritics are both IRS, but I'm not sure GameCritics' viewpoint will regard as a extreme view in Wikipedia.

So I want to know how to express this viewpoint? Like:
 * 1) Some publications find game's battle is easy, 1up said "...".[a] (GameCritics' view can't use in article.)
 * 2) Some publications find game's battle is easy[a], GameCritics said "...".[b] (GameCritics can be used, but need to be support by 1up)
 * 3) Some publications find game's battle is easy[a,b], 1up said "...".[a] (GameCritics can be used, but 1up is main opinion.)
 * 4)  Some publications find game's battle is easy[a,b,c], GameCritics said "...".[b] (If I can find another website (including "not major review site") also think battle is easy, GameCritics' can be used)

Other pointview also have this question, so can you tell me what website is "major or popular review sites"?

Thank you!--铁铁的火大了 (talk) 03:59, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Wangxuan, I'd be very happy to look at this with you, I'll take a look at some point this weekend - I'm up to my eyes in work at the minute. Someoneanother 16:33, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you!--铁铁的火大了 (talk) 04:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Right Wangxuan, sorry to keep you waiting. The grammar is something that can be corrected and if it were me I'd have done so rather than revert it. Regarding the sources, I think rather than popular a better term would be mainstream. Websites like GameSpot, IGN, Eurogamer, GamesRadar and magazines like Edge, GamesMaster, Nintendo Gamer and GamesTM are more mainstream sources than the likes of Gamecritics and Thunderbolt. Even 1up is a gaming blog so is not as strong a source as the likes of IGN and GameSpot. When dealing with a major game release it should be possible to stick to the likes of IGN without having to use less mainstream sites. It stops questions being asked at places like Good Article nominations. If you're interested in writing about the battle mechanics then there should be plenty of material in sites like those. For instance the GamesRadar reviewer says: "All the pieces of the battle gameplay are spot on – the interaction between djinni and psynergy, the summons, the weapons and so forth – but the overall lack of difficulty means that all that opportunity and options for strategizing mostly go to waste." The Eurogamer reviewer says: "The brilliance of the battle system is worth reiterating. It's entirely turn-based, but random encounters are bracingly brisk and thankfully not too frequent, while boss fights are tense and tough without ever becoming attritional. Explore each area thoroughly and you shouldn't ever need to grind."


 * You should be able to write plenty about how reviewers found the battle system with the sources already in the article and perhaps a few more mainstream sites. Provided all the major agreements or disgareements between sources are noted (WP:DUE) it should be fine. The video game project keeps a list of sources at WP:VG/RS which may be of use to you. I'll keep an eye on the article and try to tweak any grammar which needs it (when I have the time). I hope that's of some help, please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss anything, or the project on its talk page. Thanks for your contributions. Someoneanother 14:18, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot! I think the reception section need to be re-wrote, and it might spend a period of time for me. And thanks for your help!--铁铁的火大了 (talk) 08:36, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Horror Collaboration
Hello SA, just want to let you know that I have finished my expansion on the article for the horror film I Drink Your Blood and I have already incorporated what I have done so far on the draft page into the actual article itself. However its still needs a little more work done to it though, namely giving proper citations to unsourced material, updating citations, and expanding the section on the film's controversy. At the moment I am finished with the article, and I am leaving it up to others to further modify and expand it. I am also working on a new article to collaborate on for WikiProject Horror. It is the article on the infamous horror character Leatherface which is pretty significant but, unfortunately, it is in a state of severe underdevelopment and suffering from poor writing and few sources. My plan is to expand it significantly so that it reaches its full potential, and quite possibly become a featured article like the one on Jason Voorhees. However, for this particular project I will need the help of as many editors as possible since the level of expansion needed would be too daunting for any one or even three editors. Similar to the other collaboration that I have done with I Drink Your Blood, I have already created a draft for the use of expanding the article which I will include the link here. Let me know whether or not you would be able to help expand the article on my talk page and see if you can get other people on this.--Paleface Jack (talk) 23:28, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you created the article for Iji.
