hi, sorry for interruption, could you please see to the NPOV of exclusion of Brazil from this article. It was there until a month ago, and some guys keep excluding South America and Brazil from what I believe is its just place (and I am not alone, since these previous edits were there long before, to include Brazil). thanks Perroot 21:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Something (song)[edit]

Hi. Always use the "move" tab at the top of an article ot move it to a new location. In this case, you can't automatically move Something (song) to Something, because Something has history. We need to request a move at Wikipedia:Requested moves. --FuriousFreddy 23:43, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If the move tab doesn't work, you have to request a move from either a moderator or at Wikipedia:Requested moves. It's okay, though - I did the same thing when I first got here too. --FuriousFreddy 20:38, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Summer 2005 contest[edit]

Did Crono really beat Mario? I was under the impression the contest was still happening.Amren (talk) 00:59, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Casseta & Planeta[edit]

Good translation- I copy edited your version and I think this is enough information for the English wiki. Of course, the Portuguese article is much better, but much of the humor would be Lost in Translation. I think this article is sufficient. Can we remove the translation request from the board?--Adam 00:15, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Sega template[edit]

I saw your post on the Wikiproject:CVG talk page. I think it looks good, and it makes sense having a Sega table, seeing how there is a Nintendo one. Thunderbrand 21:18, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was playing around with it but I can't get it to work right, so I didn't save it. The only accessories I tried to add was the VMU and Nexus Memory Card. There are some more under the Sega harware category. Thunderbrand 21:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citation templates at Final Fantasy VI[edit]

Thanks for catching that. We usually are citing webpages, even when the information originally came from a magazine. Also, we typically copy-paste the template and fill it in each time we add a new reference. We must have just overlooked which particular template we were using at the time. Thanks again.

GA article nomination[edit]

The article you just nominated for the James Bond song needs all of the inline citations to be directly after the punctuation. Just wanted to let you know before somebody reviews it and save you some time later. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 19:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just felt the need to say this[edit]

16:25, 21 February 2007 Igordebraga (Talk | contribs) (→New requests - since a guy's been working a lot on this, and putting at the GAC all the time...)

1.) That "guy" is a girl. 2.) I didn't put it up for GA all the time. I only did it twice. The first GA-request was not done by me. I don't know who was the first to nominate it or when he/she did. I just know the Geist (video game) was a failed GA candidate when I started improving the article and that it was far from even a B-rating. When I thought it was good enough for GA, I nominated it. That nomination failed and after changing/improving everything that was wrong with it according to the reviewer, I resubmitted it. As you can see, Geist did get the GA status this time.

No, I'm not mad or anything. I just felt I let you know.DreamingLady 13:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{Sonic games}} inclusion criteria[edit]

An inclusion criteria for {{Sonic games}} has been proposed at Template talk:Sonic games#Proposed inclusion criteria, with an introductory preamble at Template talk:Sonic games#Shadow III: Son of Shadow. You are cordially invited to discuss the proposal. —davidh.oz.au 00:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the FAC support![edit]

And thanks again for the extra work you put into the DMC2 article. I'll take care of the reviews table once I get home, provided you don't do it first. It'll just take a bit of theft from the current FAs... Cheers, Lankybugger 20:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Minority Report[edit]

I noticed you changed all the refs on Minority Report. I'm one of the main contributors to that article, in the future you should note that violates this ruling. Citation templates are not mandatory as is clearly stated on WP:CITET ("The use of Citation templates is not required by WP:CITE and is neither encouraged nor discouraged by any other Wikipedia citation guidelines" also and in particular "Because they are optional, editors should not change articles from one style to another without consensus.")and the format used in that article was the same I used on Michael Jordan which recently passed FAC. During the Jordan FAC SandyGeorgia helped me format the refs and they are perfectly within guidelines. I say this because I (like many editors) dislike templates. That said I'm not going to revert them and get into a drawn out argument. Just wanted you to know that doing so in the future without discussion might upset other people in the future. Personally I prefer the manual method I do not however go around inserting it into every article I come across.

Incidentally, great work on that section analyzing the differences between the book and the movie. The article is pretty close to GA, I'm going to work on it in the next few days to address the Reviewer's concerns. If you can find any good sourced info on the Themes that would be great. It's very hard to write a solidly sourced Themes section that doesn't use OR. Quadzilla99 06:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. If you'd like to respond, please comment here so the discussion doesn't get broken off, thanks. Quadzilla99 10:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Some anon added a bunch of stuff to the plot section. I think you saw that. I just reverted all of it. Quadzilla99 22:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It got promoted, great work! Quadzilla99 22:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PR[edit]

Sure! It will be a day or two, but I'll take a look at it. Quadzilla99 00:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I looked it over and changed a couple of minor things, feel free to revert if you don't like them. I also commented on the peer review, good luck! Quadzilla99 06:13, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saving Private Ryan[edit]

Welcome to the article and thanks for helping out! Might I suggest you review the discussion page before more editing? The recent additions of mini-bios for the characters has been addressed in the past and removed - the consensus was they're a bit to fannish.--Lepeu1999 01:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally - I think adding more info on the development is a great idea - but the place to discuss that is in the discussion page. Creating a 'blank' category and asking others to fill it with material might not be the best way to improve the article.--Lepeu1999 01:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for responding. I'm not arguing with your goal, just a little bit with the execution. The Character Lists you referenced me to are indepth analysis' of the character in question, his/her relation to other similiar fictional or biographical characters as well as what the actor needed to do to prepare to play the character. What we were trying to aviod is an RPG type character bio - which isn't necessary as the plot summary contains much of that information. The SPR character list is actually pretty much a 'stock' war movie list - you've got the rebel farm boy, the 'kid from Brooklyn', the world-weary sarge, the intellectual who doesn't fit in, the loveable dufus and the fatherly leader. Some discussion around the stereotypical character and how the SPR cast either differes from them or pays homage to them might be worth including. I'd strongly suggest at least reading the discussion page first - in full. You called Miller the 'Leader of the Batallion sent to find Ryan'. Captain Miller ran a Company and led only a Squad to find Ryan. There's a lot of notes in there re proper rank and terminology etc - someone'll call you on it if you get it wrong.

RE a Development Section, I think that's a great idea too, but so far what you've added is really historical background. If you can find some information on the whole process, I could see creating a new section. You'll need stuff like:

  • We know Rodat started the process, how did Speilberg get involved?
  • Who approached who?
  • How did they decide on Tom Hanks?
  • Who else cooperated in getting the picture made and in what capacity?
  • Most of the actors involved have a history of being in Indy Flicks, why were they chosen for SPR? How did they feel about appearing in a big-budget movie?
  • What inspired SS to adopt the hyper-realistic mode? That's a big one as it's prob. the single biggest influence the movie's had on other films.

If you can find stuff like that - well sourced, I think we can bump this to GA status. IMO, we're close to that now.--Lepeu1999 14:10, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds good and I'm glad you're looking to help. I too want to get to GA status. Congratulations on working as a contributor on the articles you cite. Let me say that your edit summaries 'Time to improve the article on my favorite movie' 'needed improvements' suggested arrogance to me & I may have taken it the wrong way. Seeing now that English is your second language (congratulations on that BTW, I wish I were as fluent as you in a second language) I realize that that probably wasn't your intent. It just struck me wrong.

I AGREE with you that we need discriptors - just not a vapid character summary. The article is stronger without that kind of stuff. Tell you what, take a pass at adding what you think it needs and I'll add my adjustments. If you disagree with them, just revert. --Lepeu1999 02:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I just finished reading the 2 articles you cite in the note you left on my talk page and NEITHER has a cast list along the lines of your first edit. Minority Report doesn't even have a Cast section and the Alladin article has an infobox with links to sub-articles on each of the major characters. Further, and please don't take offense here, but looking at the history, your contributions appear to be mostly editing other's work. Like I said, I'm really happy to work with you on SPR, but please don't misrepresent your credentials or your expertise.--Lepeu1999 02:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Peace. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting again. I offer my apologies. Nice updates per the suggestions. I cut the plot section down. Any idea where we can get a non-copywritten or fair use image of the whole cast?--Lepeu1999 22:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

Dear Igordebraga/Archive1, I am delighted to inform you that I have seen fit to pass Robin Hood for GA status, as I believe that it qualifies the criteria that is commonly accepted by the community. Further details of the articles passing, and possible further improvements to the article can be found on the articles talk page. If you have any questions about the review, please leave them on my talk page. Regards,-- Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on Pilot (Lost)[edit]

Hey, good job for your July 2 edits to the article on the premiere episode of Lost. So many Wikipedia episode articles are suffering from overly plot synopses and no non-in-universe perspective. --thedemonhog talk • edits 03:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was actually the one who wrote the Nikki and Paulo article. Recently, I wrote the page on Through the Looking Glass (Lost) and I will be nominating it for featured article status sometime in the next 48 hours. Next, I have begun work on Boone Carlyle. Also, you forgot to mention that List of Lost episodes is of featured status. --thedemonhog talk • edits 19:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArticleHistory updates[edit]

Hi, I wanted to remind you of the red note at the {{fac}} template. [1] Good articles can be manually updated, but there are more steps involved in FAs, so GimmeBot update the article talk page on those. When editors do them manually without waiting for GimmeBot, it causes extra work for the bot operator. [2] Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom Hearts series topic[edit]

Hey. Thanks for promoting the Kingdom Hearts series to featured topic status, but I'd like to point out that you missed a few steps in the promotion process, such as updating the log count and updating the random page generator. Try to be a bit more careful next time. Happy editing. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 19:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Metroid prime[edit]

For starters, the article probably needs to be fleshed out a little because it just seems a little short. One place that could use expansion is the comparisons to the sequels. My other suggestion would be to either seek out the help of an editor unfamiliar with the text or put it up for peer review (this would be my suggestion). Once you get too familiar with a text, it's hard to give it a good, thorough review. If you didn't get many comments the last time at peer review, say so (gently) in any new peer review request and link to the old one (and FAC nom as well) as this alerts editors to the fact that you need a better review or more attention. Responding and implementing changes thoughtfully and promptly, and thanking reviewers is a good way to encourage more reviewers to have a look. Good luck, Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 04:55, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I ran across this development information recently. Hopefully that helped in someway. « ₣ullMetal ₣alcon » 23:41, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl[edit]

  • I passed it as a GA. Great job on the article! I always try to review at least one article in my related section when I post a new GA nom myself, so I can recognize the work you did on this with the sourcing, and such great detail on the production of the film! Keep up the good work. Curt Wilhelm VonSavage 09:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Sales information[edit]

Thanks for adding http://www.japan-gamecharts.com/gc.php to the F-Zero GX article. Do you know of any other similar sites that offer sales information for the rest of the world? « ₣ullMetal ₣alcon » 19:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MP is such a big game, yet its surprising how few articles from that franchise have reached at least GA status. I'll see what I can do in the future, but I am working on multiple projects at the moment. « ₣ullMetal ₣alcon » 02:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TWINE FAC[edit]

Hi. re "check the lyrics" -- I stated that the song is "there's no point in living if you can't feel a life". My query was why do the actors use the line "there's no point in living if you cant feel alive." (I'll resist the temptation to tell you to check that! Partly because I have.) An interesting divergence - perhaps the lyrics were changed post production? Mark83 (talk) 19:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assistance in Final Fantasy Tactics FAC[edit]

First of all, thanks for helping the FAC. I'm trying to find gaming magazine reception for the game, but so far I can only find vague references. Can you help? — Bl ue 。 19:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hulk article history[edit]

You set up the GA history, but left the second review status as a question mark. Can you alter that to reflect the second review to be a pass, instead of an unknown, which looks like the article's review status wasn't updated in that field when the article passed? Thanks. I'd do it, but I have no idea what the tags are for that. ThuranX (talk) 12:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thunderball images[edit]

Hi next time you have to remove images for GA can you delete them and have the courtesy to inform me or the person rather than orphaning them.It saves being drilled bot messages. Cheers ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 12:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep no probs the GA table for Bond is very impressive now I think. When I have time I;ll work on you only live twice -which is the quintessential 60s spy film isn't it and of course the inspiration for my character on wikipedia! Personlly though I thought the model of Connery was more useful than the boat image . Thanks for you help anyway. Regards ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 12:45, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Say It Right[edit]

Hi. I notice that you have been adding citations to articles such as Say It Right, which is really good. However, I've noticed that some of the citations you are adding don't actually support the statements that they're supposed to be referencing. For example, you added http://www.mediatraffic.de/track-titles.htm as a citation for the statement "...becoming her highest-peaking worldwide single [on the United World Chart]", but that web page lists only the tracks that have appeared on the United World Chart, not their peak positions. Also, you added http://www.musicsquare.net/charts/uk_singles_top_75/2007/44 as a citation for the statement "...tied in October 2007 by Oasis' "Lord Don't Slow Me Down", but the MusicSquare page mentions only that Oasis's song was number ten on the chart that week—it doesn't say anything about it being a download-only release. It is very important for citations to adequately supporting the statements that their positions in the text would suggest they are referencing. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine (talk) 22:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. If there isn't a reliable source, then I'd err on the side of caution and not include it. I just did a search on LexisNexis about the Oasis single and its chart position and nothing came up. Oh, and I'm aware of your (really good) work on the three articles—I don't want to sound like I'm belittling your contributions (even though my previous message may have suggested otherwise), and I think it's really good that there are editors like you who care about things such as referencing. Extraordinary Machine (talk) 17:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GoldenEye is not comprehensive. The article is supposed to cover all aspects of the film, but it has little discussion of the film's Literary allusions. The missing "Literary allusions" section can be written using the work of film scholars. There is plenty of material available. Here are some examples:

Can you join me at Live and Let Die (film)? I have begunm managing reception already. Ultra! 14:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Final Fantasy V[edit]

Hey Ig, I was wondering if you could take a quick look at this one, I am having the damndest time improving this article.

Metroid Fusion[edit]

Hey, was just putting the ref there to deal with that fact tag, it'll hurt your assessment request otherwise.

On a side note I'll mention that you should work the manual as a reference into the article itself (citing pages in it should be fine), and check for a few bits that could be rewritten to be better, i.e. nix "famed" from the intro.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Metroid Prime[edit]

Thanks for your concerns about my Metroid Prime edits, and thanks for bringing it up with me, I appreciate it. However, I did not see a reason for the removal of some of the things you took out, so I placed them back in. It had nothing to do with the fact that I had made an edit before you, it was merely because some of the content was useful, even if it was a little awkwardly written. I see that most of your removals were link fixes and redundancy fixes. It seems to me that some of them contained information that could be useful, such as 'the story of MP3 Corruption tells us that Phazon originated on Phaaze'. Even though that sentence needs work, I don't think it should just be deleted. Without it, the sentences before it infer that Phazon did originate from the shattered pieces of Zebes. Again, thanks for explaining, and I'll look back over this. Cheers, Fusion Mix 15:16, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Majora's Mask image[edit]

About the Zora image you removed—I actually like that one, as it shows the darker side of MM better than anything else on that page. Do you think there's another image you could remove instead? Pagrashtak 05:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't object to removing an image in general, just that particular one. I switched a couple of images—I think the Zora transformation image is good to have in the reception section to illustrate the dark imagery mentioned by critics. Look good to you?

Twilight Princess[edit]

Your note on the FAC said "You complain, I replace. Unless you change your mind, as I see a discussion on this ref somewhere...

I'm talking especially those from BuddingJournalist (talk · contribs) and Laser brain (talk · contribs). I have been told that I am being excessively active in this FAC, so I'll leave some of the copyediting issues to you. Cheers! Gary King (talk) 15:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For posterity purposes, here is the discussion in question. Gary King (talk) 19:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:VG Assessment[edit]

I see you went and listed Twilight Princess as "A". That's fine with me, because there is no "formal process", but it does suggest that two editors review it. Anyhow, just because WP:VG passed it as A does not mean the Wikiprojects Nintendo and Legend of Zelda have listed it as "A". --haha169 (talk) 05:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it wasn't you? Sorry about blaming you... Could I have a copy of the reason? That'd be nice. And yes, I'm a bit busy. As you can see from my talk page, I'm visiting China tomorrow, so I'll be gone for a while. I've also got a WP:FTC as well as a WP: GAN nomination going on. When I come back and the peer review is still open, I'll gladly drop a few notes. :) Cheers, haha169 (talk) 20:26, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm back from China! Cheers! I left a little note on the TP Peer Review page. Good luck on your future FAC! --haha169 (talk) 05:25, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Attack of the Clones GA[edit]

I'll check it out. Please add new discussions to the GA subpage in the future though, since I already watch that ;) Gary King (talk) 03:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brawl FAC[edit]

I'm going around and messaging any user who had discussed on the Smash Bros. taskforce and alerting them about Brawl's second attempt at the FAC. Any comments are appreciated, especially constructive criticism. I don't want the FAC to drag out so long that SandyGeorgia will be forced to close it before things could be properly fixed. So if you have time, please leave a comment. Thanks very much in advance! --haha169 (talk) 04:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments on the FAC! I'm happy to inform you that Brawl has passed the FAC, and is currently at WP:FTC! Please leave your support...(or oppose)...again... :) Thank you! --haha169 (talk) 16:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars III[edit]

Just to let you know, I'm actually reviewing the article Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith right now. Since your name the the GA review requester, please address some of my comments here or I might fail it since a section isn't cited. Address all the issues, and I'd be happy to pass it. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 14:37, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've struck through the issues you completed. I went through and made some minor fixes, please look them over and see if I made any mistakes. Good work on the article. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:38, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Pirates of the Caribbean films[edit]

Regarding my comment, sorry about that! And thanks for pointing out your edits :) About the Final Fantasy topic, The Prince of Darkness and myself have been working on the topic for a few months now, so we were planning to nominate it soon. If you don't mind :) Gary King (talk) 18:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I suppose I am somewhat interested in FTs. However, I think I'm more interested in FLs; I think it's pretty obvious from my user page ;) Gary King (talk) 19:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes[edit]

Thanks for the help on the article! If you've got time, do you want to collaborate on the article? Specifically, the Synopsis section (Setting and Plot sections) should be trimmed down a bit and be less in-universe. Gary King (talk) 20:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the big edit. The Plot looks about the same size, though, and just as complex. Gary King (talk) 22:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll work on the Plot, you can work on Reception. Have you played the game before? Gary King (talk) 22:23, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia talk:Featured topic candidates#Metroid Prime topic Gary King (talk) 16:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have finished copyediting the Synopsis section. It's at roughly 700 words, which is the perfect size. I have of course removed a few unnecessary details, but please double-check that the essence of the story is still there. Gary King (talk) 17:23, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The marketing section doesn't flow very well; could you improve it? Also, can better references be found than some websites that don't work anymore? Gary King (talk) 00:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was working on the Reviews section so I overwrote whatever you added there. If you're editing now, I can hold off for half an hour or so and let you work along. I think right now we should focus on minor copyedits because we almost have all the information we need. Gary King (talk) 01:19, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Reception doesn't need to be expanded much more. It's the perfect size as it is now, in my opinion. I plan on taking this to FAC in an hour or two. In response to your message, I've got 108 edits on the article versus your 9 ;) Gary King (talk) 20:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Anyways, don't worry, I will co-nominate you since I know your edits were all major content contributions. Gary King (talk) 21:00, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

← A lot of those edits were to correct minor prose issues (including in text that you added). When I add large chunks, like reviews, I do it in one, big edit too, like when I edit conflicted with you yesterday. Gary King (talk) 21:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently reviewing your edit and will be done in a few minutes. I thought you were going to add a significant amount of reviews, but it doesn't look much longer, so it doesn't really conflict with what I suggested that we keep it this size. Gary King (talk) 21:41, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, could you address some of the concerns at the FAC? I'm not so sure about some of them myself. Gary King (talk) 19:48, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very forgetful. Gary King

List of Iron Maiden band members[edit]

Hey, I was wondering if you could give me some advice on that article. I'll do everything, you just need to let me know of anything you think could be imrpoved. I created this list, and took it to featured list in less than a week. Take a look at it, I want to take Maiden's to FL too.  Rockk3r Spit it Out! 04:08, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I've been thinkin. Puting info about 14 members (which won't be reliable info, cause I've been searching in the web and haven't found nothing reliable so far) that had absolutely no contribution to the band, would make the article pretty long, without necessity. I don't know, give me your opinion on how could this be imrpoved.  Rockk3r Spit it Out! 22:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)[edit]

Regarding [3] - Thank you for adding this new information. Please provide citations next to each entry showing where you got this information from. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 23:43, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that is a WP:OR violation. Any way you can make this clearer - a more specific link to the web page itself, or preferably, a secondary source, instead? Cirt (talk) 23:49, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, this is verifiable information to the source, so it should be okay. Though it'd be best to have a secondary source as well, it's probably not necessary in this case. Cirt (talk) 23:55, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Metallica concert tours[edit]

Sweet! It is on my todo list. Thanks for all that help! I will work on in during the following week. Nergaal (talk) 10:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the intro, how does it look now? Nergaal (talk) 06:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List of Metroid media[edit]

The lead should have a second paragraph, and a few notes are still unreferenced. Gary King (talk) 21:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If Japan Game Charts simply posts information that it gets from Famitsu, then please mark the publisher as Famitsu instead. Gary King (talk) 02:19, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nice job so far. However, some of the references are not really reliable, like "The Metroid Database"; an alternative reference would be nice. Gary King (talk) 16:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Wanted GA[edit]

Looking over the review page, it looks like it's about ready. Regarding the Rotten Tomatoes consensus thing, I'd suggest just changing "the consensus that the film" to something like "the consensus of that film, according to the site, is", just to help other people avoid the confusion I had.

But then I looked at the history and see that you reverted some of the changes you had made about the Casting section. Before, you cleaned up the "Cast" section and moved any info on the hiring of the actors into a new "Casting" subsection of production; this was perfect, as it not only fixed the Cast section but improved the structure of the Production section and the whole article. But now I see you've switched it back to the way it was before, with the messy Cast section and the lack of a Casting section altogether. (You've also erased the info you added about the alternate opening and ending, which was another objection of mine you addressed.)

I'm not sure if this was a mistake or deliberate, but you need to switch it back before this will pass my GAN review. --Hunter Kahn (talk) 18:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm working now, but I'll take a look tonight, and I anticipate it'll probably be ready. But can you tell me why you changed the "Cast" section back in the first place? It seems like a blatant reversal of what I thought was a consensus we came to during the GAN review, and frankly it makes me worried you're going to try to change everything back when and if this GA passes. --Hunter Kahn (talk) 18:38, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I changed some wording in the Casting section and made comments about that in the GA review page. If you're OK with those, I'm reading to pass this. If not, let me know in the review page and we'll keep working on it. --Hunter Kahn (talk) 00:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hey. I hate to do this to you, especially since I said I think we're almost done with this one, but I recently read WP:FILMPLOT and realized the plot summary at the Wanted page is too long. According to this guideline, a plot summary should be between 400 and 700 words, and shouldn't exceed 900 words; this plot summary is about 930 words. I mentioned all this on the review page; can you please try to shorten the summary to at least 700 words? Again, I'm sorry about this. --Hunter Kahn (talk) 06:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Minority Report[edit]

I do not have time to do copyedits, sorry. I looked at the Minority Report (film) article briefly and noticed it repeats the name of the film a lot - could this be replaced in places with "it", "the film", and other synonyms? It might also help just to try and not have the full name used two sentences in a row - have a full name sentence, then an "it" or "the film" sentence, then the full name again. So the very first paragraph might read better as

Minority Report is a 2002 science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg, loosely based on the Philip K. Dick short story of the same name and it is one of several films based on stories by Philip K. Dick. The film is set primarily in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia in the year 2054, where a special police department called "Precrime" apprehends criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics termed "precogs". Minority Report has a distinctive look, featuring desaturated colors that make it almost resemble a black-and-white film, yet the blacks and shadows have a high contrast, resembling film noir.

Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. There are people willing to do copyedits listed in the last section at WP:PRV Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Samus Aran[edit]

Hi! Thanks for your work on the article, I'm going to pass it now, but since you mention it the metroids themselves probably could do with a short description (and citing preferably). The series article seems to have a source which could be used. I'd appreciate it. Someone another 00:38, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Metroid[edit]

Wait for the FAC to pass. Gary King (talk) 01:35, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, regarding your edits to Samus Aran, I'm too busy to check them over, so I'm going to ask you ahead of time to please copyedit your edits. And remove any reliable sources that you added, if any. Gary King (talk) 01:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I meant unreliable sources, of course. I haven't gone through your changes, since some are pretty significant and so it would take some time to go through, but specifically I was referring to any sources for mangas, etc. should be reliable and not to the actual manga that's hosted on an unreliable site, like Geocities, etc. Gary King (talk) 03:16, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nintendo task force membership[edit]

If you are not already aware, the Super Smash Bros. task force (formerly WikiForce Super Smash Bros.) has very recently been merged into the Nintendo task force (formerly WikiProject Nintendo). As a result, the memberlist of the old task force has been merged into the Nintendo task force's memberlist. In order to gauge who is still active and willing to participate actively in the Nintendo task force, I have placed all those members under the inactive participants list, which is located below the active participants list at WP:NIN.

If you wish to continue participation as a member of the Nintendo task force, then go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Nintendo/left panel, remove your entry from the inactive list, and place your entry at the bottom of the active list. If you don't wish to be a member of the Nintendo task force, then simply remove your name from the list. One month from now, on May 16, 2009, all remaining entries on the inactive list will be removed. Thank you, MuZemike 15:08, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aladdin[edit]

Hi, Igordebraga. Thanks for asking, and I wish I could help, but I'm afraid that I have a small conflict of interest issue there. Because of my personal involvement with Disney Feature Animation, I avoid doing any major editing on those articles. I think you're doing a great job on the article -- and, in my opinion, it only requires some tweaking. Sorry that you've gotten no response from other copy editors. I didn't notice whether you left a message on the Film Project talk page, but you should mention the GA review there and ask for anyone interested to give it a quick freshening. Lots of good editors there who might help. Good luck. — CactusWriter | needles 07:09, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Watchmen GA[edit]

Hi there! This is just to let you know that the good article review for the Watchmen film has finally begun, in case you were not already aware. :) BOZ (talk) 17:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I could help, but I literally just moved across the country and I'm still in the process of unpacking all of my stuff. Plus, I haven't I haven't actually had a chance to see the film yet (I know...I know), and I don't want to spoil anything. Some quick suggestions, based on the issue being "tense". All plot information should be written in present tense, with the exception of something that is spoken about in the past tense in the film. For example, "Rorschach kills a guard." is a description of something that occurs in "real time" in the movie. But, "Rorschach reveals that he killed the father of a young girl many years ago." is an example of using past tense to describe something that was referred to as having already taken place in that fictional universe. As far as the production info and other real world commentary, if your sentence is "Zack Snyder states,'.....'" - then it should be in past tense, because he can only state it once. So, "Zack Snyder stated, '...'" - and the same is true for anything else that is similar (e.g., stated, said, revealed, etc.). The actual quotes can be in present tense, but the identifier needs to be in past tense. The same is true for film reviews (e.g., "Roger Ebert felt...."). Just to point out, "Home video" is a fine section header. "DVD release" is rather new age, and doesn't come off as professional sounding. Plus, even "DVDs" are considered to be "Home" releases.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Help?[edit]

I'll get to that if I have time. I'll be working on the Samus FAC first, probably end up rewriting the article as the first draft was not done as well as it could have been. Gary King (talk) 19:38, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
