Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I don't why you said that. No matter. No one is gonna support what I'm supposed to be doing. And what do you mean I exceeded fair use? How do I appear to have poor grasp of fair use? --George Ho (talk) 00:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward

Hello! Your submission of Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it 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! --DYKReviewBot (report bugs) 18:31, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Axem Titanium, I had to remove this from the special occasion section for three reasons: first, it hadn't yet been approved (hooks should not be placed in the section until they have been approved), second, the requested date had been missed, and third, because hooks are not supposed to be moved there by the nominator—it's up to the reviewer or someone else to decide whether they fit the special occasion criteria, and move the hook. (And note the word "move": the hook shouldn't be in two places at once, as it was after you copied it.) I'm sorry this missed its date. Incidentally, I moved it from August 19 to August 20; the date is determined by the article creation/expansion/move to mainspace timestamp, and that's on August 20. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:52, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Update - Fire Emblem project

Hi! I've just finished a load of work on Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (seriously, I can hardly believe how much information I found about it). Once my current GAs are out the way and I've taken a bit of a GA break, I'll be taking Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon to GA (finished work on that earlier this month). Since you seemed willing to help with my push to create a Fire Emblem GT out of the main series article and mainline games, I was wondering if you could handle the GA process for Genealogy of the Holy War? It shouldn't be at all difficult.

On a side note, the only articles from the main Fire Emblem series that now need major work are Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Binding Blade and Rekka no Ken. That's only three out of sixteen articles! --ProtoDrake (talk) 21:27, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward

On 27 September 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the fictional dragon language featured in Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward was originally developed for a previous version of the game five years earlier? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Starlord (comics) and Star-Lord

Hi there.

I undid your move, as "Comics magazine" is unwieldy for an article title, and the rationale doesn't seem to be borne out. Sister comics 2000AD (comics) and Tornado (comics) don't follow that convention, nor does the comic book character Star-Lord who shares the name with the comic - albeit nothing else. Chaheel Riens (talk) 10:06, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

"Star-Lord" does not require paranthetical disambiguation because it is the primary topic. "(comics)" is fine for 2000AD and Tornado because there are no other comics entities called that. However, because there are multiple things called Star/lord in comics, the article title "Starlord (comics)" implies that that it refers to the fictional entity, based on common use of that term in article titles. Axem Titanium (talk) 21:23, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

I'm not convinced by your reasoning. The suffix "(comics)" is applied to both characters and the media itself - if there is any logical preference it seems to be that the suffix "comics" is more frequently used to describe the media rather than the character - where there are multiple instances, the publisher is used, or something similar - Warlord (comics), Warlord (DC Thomson) for example, but in this case there is no other comic instance of Starlord, so it would seem logical that the comic stay as is, and the character Star-Lord stays as it is. If - as you say - Star-Lord is the primary topic then there's no change needed there either - both articles have a hatnote to let readers know where they may be headed. Tbh, that seems best to me. Chaheel Riens (talk) 10:13, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Then I would say that "Starlord (IPC)" would be the better title. In my experience (which might not jive with reality, of course), the vast majority of articles with the suffix "(comics)" refer to characters who appear in comics, perhaps due to the large volume of superheroes whose names are just regular words, like warlord. Because of this experience, and not knowing that Peter Quill's alias is correctly rendered as "Star-Lord", I expect that the article titled "Starlord (comics)" would be the one that I want to click on when I start typing "s-t-a-r-l-o" in the search bar and see it in the autocomplete menu. Personally, I'm suggesting that "Starlord (comics)" redirect to "Star-Lord" and the magazine should live at "Starlord (IPC)". Axem Titanium (talk) 16:42, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, as I've said above, in my experience "(comics)" is used for both, so there's bound to be some crossover at come point. In this case my expectations are different to yours, and I see no reason for change. Again - as I said - this is why we have hatnotes. If you really want to be pedantic, we could have "Starlord (comics)" as a disambig, and then allow the reader to choose.

You are probably correct that there are more characters with the suffix "(comics)" but that's because there are multiple characters within comics - that's a logical expectation, but it does not mean that the reverse is incorrect, and that the term (comics) is thus inapplicable to a comic. Nor does it follow that a character must be defined by (comics) and override any other usage of the term.

Again - I see no reason for change to the status quo. Chaheel Riens (talk) 17:07, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Pre-GA comment regarding Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward

I'm currently reviewing another article, so I won't have time for a full review, but the I noticed this article's story section has 2,500+ words when WP:VG/CONTENT advises not having more than 700 words, so unless you seriously cut down on content there, it will fail WP:GACR #1b. Regards SoWhy 15:03, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

@SoWhy: Thanks for taking a look at this GAN. As far as I can tell, the 700 word "limit" was added by User:Darkwarriorblake in October 2013 with no prior discussion. WT:VG seems to be littered with discussions both before and after said edit arguing to no consensus about a hard word limit, many of which are seemingly unaware that it was even added to the MOS at all in the case of the latter. I have half a mind to remove it since it clearly is controversial to the point that it doesn't belong on a *guideline* page, which should reflect broad consensus.

As for this article in particular, I aimed for a similar word count as Final Fantasy XIV#Story, a GA that I pushed through in January 2016. Unlike most games, Final Fantasy XIV is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game with a dense serial plot that relies heavily on knowledge of prior events to understand the context of the story at hand. The current plot sections of both these articles represent a Herculean effort to abridge and condense them down to the bare minimum plot beats. Many of the above mentioned discussions include provisos that the length of the plot section should reflect how well-received the story was in reviews---this happens to be a facet of the game that has drawn particular praise. Regardless of dubiously provenanced guidelines, I believe that the current length of the plot section aids the reader in gaining a complete understanding of the story and warrants its length. 22:09, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Future Denuvo maintenance

Hey, I didn't want to put the guy on blast over on the talk page with everyone looking, but my concerns about raising the cost-of-entry to maintaining that page actually aren't hypothetical at all. I was looking through the page history to check what was actually happening and who was updating the table, and it sure looks like the user doing most of the actual work, for years on end, to the tune of hundreds of edits... is a Russian user who has never actually added a single English prose sentence to any article that I can find. In spite of that, he's done a lot of useful work, not just on this article but on various other gaming-related pages by fixing names, linkifying things, adding dates and platforms and the like. It sure looks like he reads English pretty well, better than he writes it, but I'm still having a hard time imagining that he's going to make the switch over to writing capsule summaries instead of dropping title/dev/publisher/release date into the table. At which point I think it is relevant that a bunch of Wikipedians in good standing who are nevertheless drivebys to this particular page decided to make a change that (whatever its other merits) made the work harder for the person who was actually maintaining it, and they're not even talking about stepping up to do that work, y'know?

I'm not really sure what to do about that. I'm reluctant to drag his name into a contentious debate that he hasn't joined (I don't know if his English isn't up to it, or if he hates wikipoliticking, or if he's just having a busy week, or doesn't care, or maybe he hasn't even noticed), and I'm doubly reluctant to put him out in front of a bunch of people who are in the process of listing reasons why his work is worthless cruft, and I'm triply reluctant with TheRandomIP still involved (the nicest thing I could say about him is that he is not the sort of person who makes you feel good about holding a good-faith perspective that he disagrees with). All the same, it's hard for me to keep talking about how "of course the work will still get done in prose like it did in tabular form" when it sure looks like the person who has done the lion's share of the work up to this point has never done anything in English prose.

I don't think he's alone, either. Honestly, I'm a lot more likely to add to a table or list when I see one that's incomplete than I am to take the harder step of deciding that the example I'm thinking of is more notable or better than the example in the paragraph and rewriting that paragraph, and I'm absolutely 100% capable and confident in taking either of those steps. I can't help thinking that there are a lot of editors or potential editors without our compositional skills who still have a lot to offer.

Dunno. Any thoughts? Zabieru (talk) 07:10, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

My honest response is that maybe the barrier to entry should be higher. I believe you are operating under the assumption that a new entry in the table is an unequivocal good, or at least neutral bit of information that is useful or improves the encyclopedia. I am not. Information exists, regardless of whether it gets "enshrined" in Wikipedia, and I believe the list of Denuvo games is a category of information that falls outside the scope of the project of Wikipedia. As a consequence, if this discourages a prospective editor from adding a bit of information that has been determined by consensus to fall outside the scope (let's say hypothetically because they are not a native English speaker and are unwilling or unable to spend the effort to add it in prose), then I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. Editors can and should consider whether "the example I'm thinking of is more notable or better" when adding anything to the project. I don't believe this process shouldn't apply merely because it's a small bit of information, or because it's going to be part of a list or table. This makes no judgment about the moral value of the content itself---I've gone on record in support of reddit maintaining their own wiki of Denuvo and Denuvo-cracked games (and I've supported moving other types of fan content and trivia to fanwikis in the past, also not as a judgment of the material itself)---but that has no bearing on its suitability to Wikipedia.

I'm balancing the value of an up-to-date table against the value of an outdated prose section, really, and I'd prefer the former over the latter even if my ideal would be an up-to-date prose section. But that's fair. Zabieru (talk) 22:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for that

It was a bit annoying watching Izno misunderstand my intent and talk down to me, so I appreciate that you made those points. I was not exactly interested in clarifying that I know all these things because it'd seem too defensive, haha. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 18:39, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Of course. I only said what I felt. Axem Titanium (talk) 19:45, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Suffice it to say that I'm annoyed by that whole discussion. If you get it, you should have said you get it. I clearly explained why I assumed you didn't know what you were doing. In the future, come leave a note on my talk page instead of leaving a note on Axem's. --Izno (talk) 03:18, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

That hardly seems fair to flip this back on her. Bryn didn't post at all between your first and last messages in the thread, and so would not have had an opportunity to say she did or didn't get it. Your first message felt unduly dismissive so I invited you to return to the topic at hand. I'm not asking anyone to sanction you or anything, just own your actions and do better next time. Axem Titanium (talk) 05:58, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm not asking anyone to sanction you or anything For which you would have been required to notify me, so I had thought nothing of the sort. As for dismissive, it was hardly anything of the sort. It was evidently (for again, Bryn is experienced and I did not know this then) a reminder and nothing more. You applied tone to it that was not there. --Izno (talk) 13:51, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Why are you being so defensive about this? Your tone came through loud and clear to everyone else in the discussion, including the intended target. Your brusqueness and lack of recognition that you were perceived as uncivil is coming through now. We gave you ample opportunity to return to the topic at hand, or else drop it entirely, but you chose to double down each time. Own it and do better. Don’t hide behind bureaucracy and rules—-there are people on the other end of the screen, not just automatons who bring up annoying discussions you don’t like. Axem Titanium (talk) 19:59, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Ah, k, clearly not getting it over there either. Cheers. --Izno (talk) 20:37, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

If you're feeling aggrieved by this, now maybe you have a small taste of how Bryn felt being ignored and talked down to. Axem Titanium (talk) 04:57, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Jeez I didn't even realize @Izno: came to this talk page. As Axem said, at what point was I supposed to respond to your comment when I came in only at the very end of your exchange? I mean, I know you think you're helping, but all that happened was the discussion became about you and not about potential collaboration. There was no need for the attitude in the first place, and if you think you didn't have any, I strongly suggest you self-reflect on your behavior more. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 22:58, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

This discussion has been over for a month now, so I do not understand why you felt the need to respond to it. I feel little desire or need to respond, certainly; there are better things to do than argue over this interaction from a month ago. --Izno (talk) 00:12, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Topic ban

Hi there. I'm in the process of drafting a topic ban (and possible indef block) against SNAAAAKE!! for the admin noticeboard. I'll post you a message when it goes live. If you've got any examples of diffs showing blatant disruptive comments or anything else he's done that you think should be mentioned, please point that out to me. I'll be posting the proposal in about 12 hours or so. Cheers. Damien Linnane (talk) 14:57, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

I ended up getting enough info from around the place, so the topic ban request is now live. See here. Damien Linnane (talk) 16:05, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Didn't see your first message until you were already finished. Thanks for taking point on this. Axem Titanium (talk) 16:22, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

No worries. You're comments at the request are obviously welcome. And yeah, I wasn't expecting the notice to actually go live for quite some time but the response to my request for information about his behaviour was pretty overwhelming haha. Damien Linnane (talk) 16:35, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
