Mass Effect 3
You said "Either this article should be deleted for violating wikipedia policy or redirect" after essentially deleting the Mass Effect 3 article.
Which policy did the article violate? Chiefmartinez (talk) 04:45, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Okay. You bring up a good point, although I'll still keep an eye out for any future information that could potentially be used for the article. Chiefmartinez (talk) 05:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
History of condoms
"the rise of Christianity" and "the rise of the Christian religion" are both grammatically correct. ("the Christianity" is bad grammar, however.) I'd prefer "Christian religion" because a few international readers may not know that Christianity is a religion. That's a minor point, though, that I don't feel strongly about.

Hi SkyWalker, why are you asking if it's a mistake? I am bundling that one with others, to take to AfD. Am I doing something wrong? Let me know! :) Maedin (talk) 19:16, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi again! I've noticed that you reverted my AfD template from Shavona Shrestha. I've added it back again, as it's one of the articles I'm proposing a merge/delete for. If you do think that it shouldn't be there, perhaps you could make it clear on the AfD discussion? Thanks! Maedin (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
It's ok, SkyWalker, no harm done :) I had read the multiple deletion page, and I followed it as best I could! The tag on each page links to the single Anita Gurung AfD discussion - I think that's right. Hopefully! Cheers :))) Maedin (talk) 07:09, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Re: I Am Legend
I think that it needs to have the older revision in addition to a brief mention of the alternate ending... the alternate ending was far too detailed. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:16, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Star Trek Online
Hi, SkyWalker. Regarding this edit, how do you know that XBox 360 will be one of the consoles for which the game is developed? Do you have a reference for that? PowersT 20:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
I've deleted them all except the two boxers - competing at the Olympics is more than enough to confer notability. Cheers, пﮟოьεԻ57 12:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Re: 10,000 BC
No, I did not see it. While I've enjoyed Roland Emmerich's previous films as popcorn flicks, 10,000 BC got a terrible score at Rotten Tomatoes. I check RT for upcoming films and usually agree with the scores, so I didn't see it. Hopefully Emmerich's next one, 2012, will be better. They just started filming recently. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 11:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Grand Theft Auto 4
I've never added any false information —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.85.96.4 (talk) 11:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
I've restored the article. However, it is very likely to be nominated for deletion, since it about a game that hasn't yet been published and about which there doesn't seem to be enough third-party coverage to put together a reasonable article.--ragesoss (talk) 06:10, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
No, generally just trailers are not enough for a game that hasn't been released yet. It takes substantial coverage by a third-party source (such as a preview from a gaming magazine). See Wikipedia:Notability (toys and games).--ragesoss (talk) 13:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Willem Jan Knoop
Thanks for reverting the vandalism by User:86.14.252.195 (Talk) on Willem Jan Knoop. He managed to do three reverts in the last 24 hours, so I reported him on the 3-reverts bulletin board. This is my first edit war, so I am not sure I did this right. He is vandalizing other articles also, but as yet not frequently enough, apparently. Meanwhile, I may be in danger of violating the 3-revert rule myself, if I keep reverting him. How do I defend myself?--Ereunetes (talk) 20:27, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
GfW-Live
The responsibility to add a source is on the person adding the information, not the person deleting it. Per the policy, I can remove anything that is not verified (i.e. no source). It is not my responsibility to place a "citation tag" (that's a courtesy), nor is it to go look for the source. Now, either go add a source to those titles on the "List of" page, or I'll remove it again. "Box art" is not verification of anything, as other games in the past have had "Live" on the box art and that was later rectified. Crysis: Warhead had "Live" on the box art, but from what I read in PC Gamer, it isn't Live. So, again, please add an actual source that verifies it is "Live". BIGNOLE (Contact me) 15:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Again, you are failing to read the POLICY on verifiability. YOU need to add a source, not tell people to "Go check another page". If you are having trouble with this I can go seek an Administrator for assistance? It's simple. If there are sources verifying that it is "Live" (i.e. actual published words, not images, as Crysis proves that people can get a little hasty in their image creation), then please place it in the article. EVERYTHING, must be verified on THAT page, not some other page. This the last time I'll speak of it; please place appropriate sources in their appropriate places. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 15:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Great, put it in the List page. The reason we don't use images and videos (as you proved my point earlier) is because they can be deceptive. With Crysis, whoever created the image obviously jumped the gun and just some stock "Games for Windows - Live" foreground. Many times games come out with that cover art, and are later replaced with accurate representations. Images can be inaccurate. It's best to have the word of a person (though, they can be wrong as well, it's just a bit more reliable). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 16:13, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Why?
Simply because Twinkle doesn't have a speedy option, it only has the option to sent it here, at least this way, something that can be worked won't get deleted by mistake! Citedcover (talk) 16:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Near future in video gaming
I have nominated Near future in video gaming, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Near future in video gaming. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Guy (Help!) 20:57, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
I have taken out some information on the official release date of the game, and added this correct and accurate information="Its US release date is on November 11th, 2008, as confirmed by GameStop's "new release shipping lists".". I am positively 100% sure this information is correct because I went to my local GameStop retail store and asked to look at a "new release shipping list", which provides all of the new release dates of video games being shipped to GameStop stores for purchase at specific dates. -cdaughertyjr —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdaughertyjr (talk • contribs) 09:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I don't mean to be rude, but why is GameStop not considered a reliable source? After all, the stores recieve the games, and have to keep track of when the release dates are to put the products on retail, do they not? If I could send you a scan of the shipping list, I could, but my scanner isn't working right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdaughertyjr (talk • contribs) 09:35, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
man, you crazy! i will stop at nothing until justice is served! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdaughertyjr (talk • contribs) 07:01, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
man, that's just great, cause now i've got proof from a shipping list and about 5 different web pages that proves your information is wrong and that the release pushback for the movie won't affect the game's release at all. i'm not gonna even give you the links for proof of my points because you're probably inconsiderate, and don't care about how accurate and how much quality has to go into a Wikipedia page. that's just great that you don't care about the right information, and don't check everywhere for it you can, or in the right places, for that matter. so, if you want millions of people to read the wrong information you put on this page, that's fine with me, i don't care anymore. i have better things to do than quarrel with you. i give up. geez! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdaughertyjr (talk • contribs) 07:12, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
I don't even care of your shipping list just go and follow the two links on your talk page and read it. Removing information about release date has little or no effect on Wikipedia and stop your blabbering. --SkyWalker (talk) 07:19, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
no, i was saying there were at least 5 links that i have that support my points and they don't have anything to do with the shipping lists. i just want this to end. and i'm not "blabbering" hahahahahaha! wait, there is nothing on my talk page!
Look at the history. --SkyWalker (talk) 07:37, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Legendary (video game)
Unverifiable material may be challenged and removed. I removed the unverified (and seemingly that no one cared that it was unverified since October 07) information until someone provides a citation. I don't have the time to properly reference it myself, but when someone does, they can add it back in. ~QuasiAbstract {talk/contrib} 12:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps if I could access game news sites(work firewall), then I would do a google search, but then it would be a half-a**ed effort, because I don't have time to PROPERLY reference. So, I am removing unverifiable information. ~QuasiAbstract {talk/contrib} 12:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Your Far Cry 2 article edits
Please heed the discussion page of an article before making changes to it, especially changes as significant as reordering the sections. I have a section in the Far Cry 2 article discussion about why I think the sections should be in the order they are, and am welcome to dissenting opinions. I even explicitly stated in my edit summary the last time I reverted your reordering that there is a section on the discussion page to talk about how they should be and why.
Please share your opinions, and for now I am reverting your reordering edit again, as I do believe the original order is the better one. TK-134 (talk) 05:34, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the information, though I still wish it had been included in your edit summaries or on the discussion page. I'm not very experienced on the site as a whole let alone within the realm of video game articles, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will edit the sections so that they transition smoothly now that they are in the correct sequence. TK-134 (talk) 15:51, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

The table looks good, but the article still needs quite a bit of work. The references still need correct formatting/important information and some of them are not from reliable sources. I would weed out the less reputable refs and then work on the formatting. I'm glad you're taking this project on! Oldman is too important of an actor to have a so-so wikipedia article. :) María(habla conmigo) 12:12, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
I'll help where I'm able, but I have other things on my plate at the moment. If you need assistance in copy-editing, finding reliable sources, or formatting, let me know, but I'm afraid that I can't take on major research/rewriting at the moment. I would definitely like to see this article reach GA and maybe even FA one day, though! María(habla conmigo) 12:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Hey
I'd be happy to, since the Total War series articles need a thorough cleanthrough (Medieval II and Rome are unfortunately getting removed from the next DVD release of Wikipedia because they're not of great quality). I can't put too much work into them immediately though, I'm focusing on getting a few of the B-class articles in my scope through to GA (Species of StarCraft, Doom 3, Jim Raynor, Chris Metzen) but hopefully that won't take long as the articles shouldn't need much work to pass. I've watch listed Empire: Total War, I'll see what I can do with that - a restructure is definitely in order there, some of the points made are really out of context (for instance, the two sentence paragraph "While in previous Total War titles army movements were restricted to tiles, in Empire: Total War army movement is completely free-form. The game also enables the player to establish taxes separately for nobles, burghers and peasants, and this can have several effects."). As for Company of Heroes, perhaps, but later down the line. -- Sabre (talk) 16:04, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
You noticed the sandbox article I've set up, thanks for providing some sources. I'm not planning to conduct a full rewrite there, just reorganise and improve the existing prose and update any missing info. Feel free to chip in at any point in the sandbox. You've probably noticed the table factions approach, if you could keep an eye out for more game-central information on in-game factions and then update the table, that would be great. I'm basing it off of a similar table in the A-class Age of Empires III, which shows the sort of information to go for without falling into the gameguide trap. -- Sabre (talk) 16:44, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
I only really tend to write about games I've played, otherwise I don't feel I know enough to write about it thoroughly. So, certainly I can't do anything with Evil Genius, Sanity: Aiken's Artifact or Race Driver: Grid, and I just don't feel comfortable going near Crysis at the moment. Company of Heroes, I could do, I'll consider that for long-term stuff, especially as it should only be two articles - that and Opposing Fronts. As I've said, I'm trying to focus on articles already in my scope, but I will be hitting out towards the Total War series in full strength once I've finished up some bits with the StarCraft and Half-Life series. -- Sabre (talk) 22:35, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Mafia II
Why are you deleting the edits I have made to Mafia II? The article says the game can be released in 2008 or 2009. MOOOOOPS (talk) 18:09, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
"The publisher revealed that Gearbox Software's Borderlands (PC, PS3, X360) and 2K Czech's Mafia II (PC, PS3, X360) are positioned for release sometime in Take-Two's 2009 fiscal year, which runs from November 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009."
This means the game could be released between November 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. That is why 2008 must be left on the article. MOOOOOPS (talk) 21:30, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Its not wrong information if a source say it. If I was simply saying 2008, then that would be wrong information. However when a source says it, then its factual information. MOOOOOPS (talk) 05:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Re: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
The article really needs a lot of work to get to GA (it doesn't even have a Development section) and it's not a game that I'm interested in, so I think I'll pass as I'm currently busy with a few other things. If you ever have a game that comes up then let me know and I'll let you know if it's one I'm interested in, though. You should probably also post a request at WT:VG for some help. Good luck!

Angelina Jolie
Please be cautious when using your Wiki Tool (Twinkle) and undoing edits without researching whether or not it is truly vandalism. This edit that you made to the Angelina Jolie article undid a removal of references that had been discussed on the article's talk page and was not vandalism in the slightest. Thank you. Ms. Sarita (talk) 13:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I suggest you read WP:VAN to recognize what true vandalism is. As far as the Angelina Jolie article goes, it has been discussed in the article discussion page and the removal of the references was thought to be fair. Ms. Sarita (talk) 14:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I agree that a more concise edit summary should have been given. But the user did leave a specific comment stating to check the discussion page, so I figured that it would have ruled out any plausible deniability regarding vandalism. But thanks for patrolling anyway. Ms. Sarita (talk) 14:10, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
That is a crapload of pages. Like I said, thank you for patrolling. I am not too familiar with Twinkle, so maybe I was naïve in assuming what differences you could see before making a revert.
