You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Youtube videos
See External links. Basically, most youtube videos tend to have this issues. The exception is that the uploader from the videos is licensed to publish such a material, such as the youtube videos from Funimation. Instead of referencing with youtube videos, the articles should use WP: Reliable sources. If we are citing things from a video game, we should use references such media, see Reptile (Mortal Kombat) as an example.Tintor2 (talk) 01:55, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem ^_^. At first I also had troubles with references templates. It took a lot to get used to citebook. You can replace the refs.Tintor2 (talk) 02:22, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, that ending shows how he becomes Onaga, so it is suitable for the article. Url are not needed, but if you want to the ref to be more specific, you can add to the template the quotes such as the ones from Kyo Kusanagi (although he is not related to MK), but it is not normally needed.Tintor2 (talk) 02:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That content seems to be very trivial. The article should focus in the important parts of the franchise rather than jokes content. And yes, the vid still has copyright issues.Tintor2 (talk) 13:44, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Reception/Controversy
That s a good idea. This article is lacking some reception. If parts of the info you have are also postive, the section should be called Reception.Tintor2 (talk) 15:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

What I meant by positive content is by how the games from the series were praised in terms of gameplay and other stuff. It is similar to the reception section of Mortal Kombat Deception but more in general considering the article is about the series.Tintor2 (talk) 15:56, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Check the critical reception section of Final Fantasy as an example. The reception is more in general.Tintor2 (talk) 00:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Copypasting is not really preferred. By the way, not all the MK games articles have reception sections. Like the FF article, the reception should be more in general rather than talking of game by game.Tintor2 (talk) 00:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Try searching for the primary source. In this case, the issue of such newspaper.Tintor2 (talk) 12:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry I know nothing of Kerri Hoskins. Try asking in the wikiproject which cover biographies.Tintor2 (talk) 00:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice work´in MK's reception.Tintor2 (talk) 01:09, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I saw that you are making some source research in your user page. Did you try creating a sandbox? I suppose that would help you.Tintor2 (talk) 14:51, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Basically a page where you can make edits like the ones you are making in your user page. The name can be anything as long as you add User:Subzerosmokerain/ before. For example: User:Subzerosmokerain/sandbox, User:Subzerosmokerain/Mortal Kombat, User:Subzerosmokerain/notebook, etc. When you create one add the links to your user page so that you won't lose it.

 * Thanks and don't mind asking me anything.Tintor2 (talk) 23:20, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Don't know about if it is okay to use gamerankings and gamestats in a series article since they are normally used in individual video games articles. An interview seems more reliable than an article since it is more specific regarding the months. However, you could [say] that sources tend to differ.Tintor2 (talk) 01:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * That (the response of SFII) would fit in the conception section.Tintor2 (talk) 02:09, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Kerri Hoskins
Okay. What exactly is it you need help with? Properly citing the news source, or something else? Wizardman 02:43, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * To answer your first question, you would add in the following after your sentences being cited from there: You can use what you want for the ref name, I just picked cherry to align with the last name. your second question is harder to answer, mainly because all articles are truly a work in progress, and for a short article like hers, one could argue no cited knowledge is irrelevant. I'd just add it in, and if it seems like overemphasis on one section, there's ways around that. Wizardman  02:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As an external link that may be okay, just not as an official reference. Wizardman  02:11, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Sub Zero linking to Noob Saibot?
What's up with that? --uKER (talk) 01:32, 6 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Not to bother but as far as I know the Sub-Zero appearing in the first Mortal Kombat game becomes Noob Saibot. The Sub-Zero appearing in following games is the younger brother from the first one. I winted it was explained an ending from MKII, probably Sub-Zero's or Scorpion's.Tintor2 (talk) 12:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, apart from being fancruft, you're having "Sub Zero" link to an article that has no mention of Sub Zero whatsoever, which is totally against WP:EGG. --uKER (talk) 12:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't get it how it should be: should the article Sub Zero be only for the alter ego?Tintor2 (talk) 12:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)


 * For one, I have never heard anything about this "Sub Zero turning into Noob Saibot" thing. And believe me I've seen the MK2 endings. It's a known fact that the Sub Zero in MK2 is the younger brother of the one from MK1, who was killed by Scorpion, but nothing to do with Noob Saibot. Even if they turned out to be the same character, when changing names he is in fact going from being one character to being another, thus the change in names, and he should be linked to Sub Zero as that's what he was called at that point. If anything, the relation to Noob Saibot should be detailed in the Sub Zero (Mortal Kombat) article, but as I said, linking "Sub Zero" to the Noob Saibot article is unacceptable as of today, since the "Noob Saibot" article lacks any mention of Sub Zero whatsoever. --uKER (talk) 13:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the transformation was explained NoobSmoke's ending from MK: Deception. I'll later search for a transcript. It is also revealed in the Konquest mode from Armageddon and Shaolin Monks.Tintor2 (talk) 13:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, as I said, even if that's the case, "Sub Zero" should link to Sub Zero (Mortal Kombat) with that article explaining the relation (thus linking) to Noob Saibot. --uKER (talk) 15:22, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: Eddy Gordo...
I can do that but I'll need some time to find the EGM issue that said it. I have so many magazines but I know it's somewhere in there. SuperSonicTH (talk) 05:28, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Sub-Zero(s)'(s) origins
The first sentence from the storyline section talks about the origin of the two Sub-Zero. Do you know in what game is that explained? I have no idea. By the way, does Sub-Zero join Shujinko in fighting Onaga in Deception? The bio and the ending make no mention of that, and in the Konquest mode he only appears to teach his moves. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 21:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. From what I found the MK:Deception Sub-Zero's bios as seen in this script is that he talked about his ancestors. In the ending, he fights against Tartakan soldiers which seem to be working for Onaga.Tintor2 (talk) 01:16, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Subzerosmoke... I'm gonna call you Szsr, I'm here to tell that WikiProject Video games/Assessment/Requests‎ is not the right place the put SF4 up for GAN. Here is where you should that. GamerPro64 (talk) 01:42, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Happily, I have SF4. However, the mortal kombat series article seems like a challege, but I'll keep it in mind. GamerPro64 (talk) 02:18, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hm, that article you're making seems risky. You should go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games and get some opinions from other editors. GamerPro64 (talk) 03:38, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

If reliability does not matter, doesn't this mean a forum could be citable for an opinion? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 02:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The point is that there is a line that must be drawn. If Shang Tsung went to FAC, they'd say "why should we use VG Chartz?", and they would notice that it's not listed as a reliable source. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 03:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Articles have failed the GA/N or FAC because they use an unreliable reference, even with opinion. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 03:16, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I've not seen any suggestion that they have an editorial oversight or anything to make for a reliable source, so why should they be assumed to be? When the source is disputed and we have no reason to assume they're reliable, why are you keeping it? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 03:41, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sub-Zero,

I am not a Quebecer, however I am sufficiently confident with my knowledge of French to use French sources when adding information to articles. I am unsure as to when I will be able to make time to view the film you mention and may not until June, however I have made a note of your recommendation and will try to do as you suggest at some point.

Happy editing,

EGM from April 1993
Sorry that this response was not prompt; I have not been actively editing for the past week, so I did not get to it. In response to your question regarding my ability to get an article on Mortal Kombat from an April 1993 editions of EGM, unfortunately, I cannot. In an evil twist of fate, the databases I have at my disposable begin coverage (and most of the old issues only have some of the articles scanned in anyway, not all) of EGM beginning May 1993. Sorry for that, but I hope you find someone who can provide you with a copy. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 13:22, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: MKA
SSR, the issue really has nothing to do with good faith or article ownership (in all honesty, you need to quit resorting to the latter every time I make an MK article edit you don't like) as it does with the inclusion of some virtually unknown gaming fansite – which is not even a legitimate third-party source to begin with – up there in the criticism section with more established journalists. Yeah, we all agree Annihilation is a crap movie, but it's not open season for empty or juvenile material such as a silly barb they made about the film's title, which adds absolutely nothing to the section content.

Lastly, the 411Mania quote has been removed (though the source remains and has been relocated) because it repeated content about the film's oversaturation of characters, for which the author clearly used this article as a reference. Thank you for understanding. sixty nine  • spill it •  18:27, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Half Life 2
Hi Subzerosmokerain - Are you still interested in working on the FAR for Half-Life 2? If so, I'm going to work to try to get some of the editors who have commented to post more thorough comments. I know it can be frustrating when several users enter non-specific delist votes...

FAR ping
Hi again Subzerosmokerain - I just wanted to say thank you for your continued efforts on the Half-Life 2 FAR. I also wanted to let you know that it is completely acceptable to ping editors who have made comments on the article when you feel that you have addressed their concerns. Hopefully it will prod them to come and change their vote! Please let me know if you have any questions, and keep up the good work! Dana boomer (talk) 16:59, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If you feel that there are no reliable sources to back that section up, go ahead and remove it. Perhaps a brief mention (sourced to the game's website, perhaps?) would then be useful in one of the other sections (game development or something similiar?). However, no reliable sources = no inclusion of information for FAs, generally. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:37, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Half-Life 2 again
Hi SZSR, just pinging you again on the Half-Life 2 FAR. It's been sitting for a while without comments, and there are several outstanding delist votes that are keeping the article from being kept. Pinging the other editors who have voted to delist (as well as addressing the latest comments from Mav and pinging him) would probably get your either further comments or struck delists. You have done some great work on this article, and I don't think it will take much more effort on your part before the article can be kept; however, those delists need to be taken care of first :) Thanks in advance, and let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 01:40, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, not a problem. I was fairly sure you weren't just being "lazy" - all of us need a break from WP once in a while, whether it is voluntary or because of a technology breakdown. I look forward to seeing the article up at FAC. One good idea might be to drop a note to the editors who commented at the FAR to see if they have any additional issues - this could help to identify any other potential issues before the time constraints of FAC kick in.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Thumb cfalcon-running.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Thumb cfalcon-running.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 09:52, 12 August 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:52, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Characters of 2011's Mortal Kombat
Hi Subzerosmokerain. Good work in the Mortal Kombat (2011 video game) article. It's looking very good. About the character section, I've seen that some users have been adding characters without sources. Since that section is using three references in the end, I thought that it may be better to add a reference at the end of each character at least to give an example, as well as to explain which citations refers which characters. Regards. Keep up the good work :).Tintor2 (talk) 02:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

WaveBird award
Hmmm, that's a good find. If it had a reception section it would fit nicely in there, but as it stands I think it would require its own section, probably after "Design". It's quite a short article so as long as it's after the two main sections ("Developmental" and "Design") I don't think it really matters; it can always be moved later if need be.

Alright, and also
I want to make Mileena a disambiguation page (ity's a legitimate name after all) and move her article to Mileena (Mortal Kombat) per norm, but I'm not sure how to do this. Could you help me out and do this? --Asperchu (talk) 19:16, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Of course a bot should then also redirect the links to the new article. --Asperchu (talk) 19:17, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Not really, Mileena is a just fairly common (in Poland) actual name (including my cousin's, and Mileena Hayes the model, and Mileena in Alundra 2, and Mileena in Funny Farm, etc). See also, for example, the article Kitana (which is not a real name, I believe). --Asperchu (talk) 23:07, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

It's not really "common", it's just a real first name. --Asperchu (talk) 23:18, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I have seen him vandalising also other articles this way, he's apparently holding some kind of grudge against VG Chartz, like this guy who was removing MobyGames links. I guess someone needs to straighten him up so he'll stop "fixing". --Asperchu (talk) 11:56, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

What's notable about her? You appreantly know something and yet you chose to not publicily disclose it in 2 years since the notability tag was placed, so maybe tell me now. --Asperchu (talk) 16:35, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

The tag sez: "If notability cannot be established, it may be listed for deletion or removed." I'm removing. Over 2 years is more than enough. Don't be anal about it. Oh, and Mortsl Kombat TRMK Kollection, I took a look and this is pretty funny - they are blaming WB for not denying their own rumor. --Asperchu (talk) 16:45, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and there was no female ninjas in MK3 (before Ultimate). At all. Not even, I don't know, a single picture or a mention, whatever, just nothing. You must be either too young or too old to remember, so go and check it anywhere. I mean, sheesh. Stop saying such things, it would only damage your credibility here as a MK expert (?). But if you REALLY need, go and make your "procedure". I just hope you would make it done before the TRMK Kollection is out. --Asperchu (talk) 16:59, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Actually I'm following the procedure. The tag there is so old (posted in Sept 08) it does not say what the new version says: "If notability cannot be established, the article is likely to be merged, redirected, or deleted." - and so I'm redirecting. (And I find it quite strange you are against Jax article, while you fight for an article that you don't even know what game it is related to.) --Asperchu (talk) 17:38, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Kano's article has a new version of notability tag. The current one, and that's because I just posted it. Go and and take a look. Also, a direct quote from TRMK: "Well, don't we all feel like a bunch of jack asses?" Feels good, man. --Asperchu (talk) 17:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes it started there, it was (and is) a MAJOR hub of this. They had their "UPDATES", the actual sources repeated mostly after them, the tool ip guy cited them only, they even have a sub-forum for this and this alone. Oh, and actually I guess it would be nice if it somehow turned to be real anyway (I mean, like, confirmed tommorow, or whatever). However as for now it is not, and nothing changed about it, because it was never confirmed at all. Get it? OK. And these 2 articles are gone now and nobody will miss them (they're on MK Wiki anyway). --Asperchu (talk) 21:35, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of John Parrish (actor)
I tagged it for speedy deletion because an actor with so few roles typically does not meet Wikipedia's Notability guidelines. I think that voice acting as the same role for four video games in a series does not meet the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page.

Hola Subzerosmokerain.

Eddy Gordo
Hi Subzerosmokerain,

So I just had a quick question, and since it pertains to your article up for peer review, I figured I'd just ask you since you seem to be a more experienced editor than I. Is it frowned upon to make minor edits to articles that one is peer reviewing? I noticed a couple locations in Eddy Gordo that seemed like they were missing commas ("is quest for revenge for the murder of his parents culminating in the defeat of" seems like it could use a comma after "parents", and "first Capoeira practitioner to appear in the Tekken franchise followed by Tiger Jackson" seems like it could use a comma after "franchise", etc.), but I didn't want to edit them since I don't know if it's considered bad form to simultaneously make (minor) edits to and peer review an article. Obviously I wouldn't change the actual content of the article or things like word choice, but are minor changes considered acceptable? And just for an update on the peer review, I am now 3/4 of the way done with exams and should be able to finish the review sometime between Wednesday and Friday of this week. Bstbll (talk) 21:57, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Take note
You would seem to be on a slippery slope. This comment, is a breach of civility. It goes hand in hand with the ownership you seem to now be displaying  re: the article Mortal Kombat (2011). I suspect all this is a knee-jerk reaction to my edits.

As I've stated before, the article was not anywhere near encyclopedia standard and needed reworking. This still holds true. Performing mass reverts - which was a mistake by another editor - do not help, nor does the assertion you will "take the reins" and handle all the changes from here. Please discuss, rather than reverting to what can be poor content material. A simple example I have already corrected is in the lead (e.g. " a deeper concentration", which makes no sense). That said, I like the additional material in the Design section. Thank you. Thebladesofchaos (talk) 01:06, 10 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Can you go back and break that message up into paragraphs so I can read it? Thanks. Thebladesofchaos (talk) 04:14, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Re: MK roster picture
I removed it because it had no real encyclopedic value. It really only served to show the roster revealed at the time, and the entire roster is out and has been for some time. It ended up being more of a "cool" image to have than anything else. --Teancum (talk) 20:37, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay; I was wondering that myself (and went to your talk page to ask, but saw that Subzerosmokerain had beaten me to the punch). I might try to find a better roster pic at some point; I think it's a reasonably useful image (especially since it's an easy way to illustrate the Characters section without filling it with a ton of NFC imagery). Perhaps once Skarlett is out, so we can add a bit in the caption about how DLCs are presented. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 23:13, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem is that is doesn't have any reason to be there. There's nothing unique about this roster screen over other fighting games, and all of the characters are listed in the prose, as they should be. There's just no encyclopedic need for it. I personally have nothing against the image, but the article is of such high quality (very close to GA) that it just brings it down. --Teancum (talk) 01:30, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Missing Wikipedians
Hey, it's been so long since you've been here and I figure since you said you were headed to college in your last edit summary to your userpage it was okay to add you to the page above. If/when you come back, be sure to take your name off it. Best wishes,  LazyBastard Guy  02:33, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I also removed you from the template on the Mortal Kombat talk page, owing to your absence. God bless,  LazyBastard  Guy  03:33, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That's all quite all right. I am very inactive nowadays on Wikipedia. I wish I had time to come back and edit but I do not. If after this I do not edit more often then it's fine to keep me on the page of missing Wikipedians. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 20:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
