Articles for deletion/Lloyd Garmadon (2nd nomination)
I don't wanna talk to the admin's talk page. But, I felt like this AfD closure was kinda awful. Wdyt personally? Greenish Pickle!  (🔔) 00:52, 6 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I think the point was that there is no consensus to delete outright. You are free to start a merge discussion right away if you think it ought to be merged. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the result should be no consensus or at least be relisted. But, it doesn't matter anyway.  Greenish Pickle!   (🔔) 06:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * In AfD, a "no consensus" is only when there is not agreement whether to delete the article. Here there was agreement it should be kept, but some people argued for a merge. That's what I think the reasoning was here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:55, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Metallic Child and unreliable sources
You said that some sources are unreliable. But which sources are unreliable and why are they unreliable? EternalNub (talk) 05:01, 7 April 2024 (UTC)


 * See WP:VG/S. The community has sorted most sites into reliable and unreliable, based on the editorial staff and whether one can assume they are factual and trustworthy. In this case, both Nintendo Life and TouchArcade are reliable, which is why they have a listing in the review box, though that's still not quite enough to pass notability criteria. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I added two more sources which are in spanish. One is MeriStation. EternalNub (talk) 05:30, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I am unsure of "No Somos Ñoños" as it seems very much like a standard blog, but Meristation is reliable. Remove or fix anything that depends on The Indie Game Website or Hey Poor Player and we should be good.
 * I'd personally suggest expanding the article a bit more though, based on those 3 reliable sources, as right now it would still be considered Stub-class. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:42, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Final Fantasy VI World of Ruin.png
Thanks for uploading File:Final Fantasy VI World of Ruin.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Deathclaw dev info
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPu9K4m4Y-k This just dropped from the guy responsible for the model work in 3 and 4. Dunno if you'll ever be able to revive the subject, but figured at the least you'd appreciate the behind the scenes. Kung Fu Man (talk) 05:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC)


 * It's sick to have a thing like that exist, though unfortunately being a primary source it is totally useless to revive the article. And I did notice this since then, but, well, I think you can tell why I would be hesitant to use that as the basis for any sort of notability consideration. I do think there is a decent chance of some Deathclaw discourse when Season 2 of the show comes out, since the creators alluded to the fact that Deathclaws will be the main focus of at least something, and they avoided showing them to make it a major reveal for non-Fallout players. If there is any chance for the article to be notable it will be then, IMO. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:43, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins
Hi there! Phase I of the Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
 * Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
 * Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
 * Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
 * Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
 * Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
 * Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
 * Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

Reason?
Hey Zxcvbnm, you recently edited Back to Bed, in which you removed the Cubed3 ratings, which I understand, you also removed the Nintendo Switch section, which I also understand as it only had its ratings in Metacritic and GameSpace.com which is an unknown source. I just don't understand why you left Gaming Age incomplete. You removed its ratings and its mention in the section, but you didn't remove it from the template, leaving a row full of 'N/A's, could you reply and let me know whether you'll do it or I can do it myself. Sincerely, MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 08:17, 5 May 2024 (UTC)


 * It was an accident, I meant to remove Gaming Age entirely as a not fully reliable source. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:31, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Qwerty
Why am I now realizing your name is the bottom of the qwerty keyboard haha MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 13:50, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Can you help rename the categories that I marked for speedy renaming?
Hi Zxcvbmm. I have moved the category Video game types to the section denoting the primary classifications for video games (in the Video games category) as a whole, therefore it should be renamed to Video games by type. I also marked the category called Microphone-controlled computer games for speedy renaming to the more appropriate name. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 20:26, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Re: Cait Sith move
Left a shout on there, but I agree with the move. However, the more I dig into things, I think it may be a better idea to move it to Cait Sith (Final Fantasy VII), because apparently there's another major Cait Sith in the franchise. Kung Fu Man (talk) 12:28, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Does the category for games using proced. gen. deserve to stay?
Hi, again. I have listed Category:Video games using procedural generation for deletion because it's not defining and kind of lame as thousands of games (that are not even listed) including hundreds of sandbox, strategy, and city building games all have some sort of randomly-generated maps.

Wussuuuup!!!
Howdy Zxcvbnm! Have you noticed something? I recently manually moved all articles and subcategories that were in Category:Video game gameplay to other desirable categories. I did this due to the fact that any gameplay element would also be a video game term, and I want to avoid overcategorization and inconsistency. I hope you agree with this change. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 01:49, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * This would have properly been a matter for CfD merge proposal, not manually doing it yourself, in order to make sure your changes actually stick.
 * I have no personal issue with it, as I previously attempted to fold the gameplay category into a different one (which, btw, was opposed) but if someone does happen to disagree and decides to reverse your changes, your effort may be wasted. Next time I'd suggest a discussion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:02, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
