Regarding your edit to EarthBound
Hello XBaconHerox,

Your edit to EarthBound (made at 02:26, Apr 11) has been reverted. It did not appear to be constructive, and has thus been placed in status 'vandalism' by myself (a member of the Nintendo taskforce). Vandalising Wikipedia articles means taking information kindly donated by patrons of the Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedians), and destroying it. Vandalism is seen by very few people and is chuckled at by no one here at Wikipedia. If you want to be annoying, there's always 4chan.

EarthBound is a GA status article (Good Article, marked by the green plus symbol), thus heavy reviewing is always done of the article to maintain it of its status.

I can also see that this was your first edit. If you need help on how to edit pages, don't forget to look at Wikipedia's guidelines, multitude of help pages, or contact an experienced editor on her/his talk page. You can also always message me on my talk page for information on making a video game-related article.

To clarify, you edited EarthBound (Lead)

Previous edit (as of Bender the Bot's changes) EarthBound, known as Mother 2 in Japan, is a 1994 Japanese role-playing video game co-developed by Ape Inc. and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. (...) The game had a lengthy development period that spanned five years. Its making involved a number of Japanese luminaries, including writer Shigesato Itoi, musician/songwriter Keiichi Suzuki, sound designer Hirokazu Tanaka, and future Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Themed around an idiosyncratic portrayal of Americana and Western culture, it subverted popular role-playing game traditions by featuring a real world setting while parodying numerous staples of the genre. Itoi, who directed the game, wanted it to reach non-gamers with its intentionally goofy tone.

You can see how effective vandalism prevention is here at Wikipedia -- if it isn't picked up by automated vandalism detection bots, it still is watched over and quickly reverted by dedicated people such as myself, in under ten minutes.

If you want to dispute this edit's status as vandalism, do so on my or EarthBound's talk page. Manfred (talk) 03:37, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
