The sequence in the Vault, from entering it, descending down and finally opening Alma's cryogenic storage unit, is a carbon copy of the same sequence in AKIRA. Is this worth mentioning somewhere in here, or would it be rendered as Original Research? I think it's noteworthy as it is one of the major events of the game (ie. all games have sections inspired from other sources if you look hard enough, but this is a very distinct setup). 208.251.140.163 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC).
I've added a list of levels which the game F.E.A.R. contains, because I think it is a good idea to see how many levels the game contains and how it is structured. But the user called "Xihr" is deleting it every time without discussion and by simply referring to the wikipedia directive "WP:NOT#GUIDE". I've read it and I cannot see how adding a level list is hurting this directive. It's just a simple list, not a guide nor an advice nor an suggestion or something else what is conflicting the directive. It would be very nice if Xihr would explain it before he simply removes something by arbitrary behavior. I'm not playing a game with Xihr, I just don't' like it when someone simply delete the work of another one without consultation like in this discussion thread. 84.63.194.11 ( talk) 09:55, 27 December 2008 (UTC) James
I have no idea why you're continually trying to remove this part of the discussions, except perhaps either to play WP:POINT games or to try to hide your embarrassment at the resolution. It certainly is not a case where WP:NOT#FORUM can be invoked, since I was responding to your claims about what I had said (which were wrong, since I was quoting a policy, not a guideline), and we were discussing the actual policy and what you were doing wrong with respect to it. The added absurdity is that you're trying to remove a discussion which you yourself contributed to. I'd be happy to WP:AGF here but you're making it an itsy bit impossible. I would suggest you drop it since a WP:3RR case wouldn't look good when you're trying to remove someone else's responses to your own comments about their editorial actions regarding your edits and a discussion of the policy that led to those actions. Please move on; you are making yourself look exceedingly silly here. Xihr 23:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
I really don't want to get involved in this, but I will have to ask that you both take this discussion somewhere else. This talk page is for the discussion on how to improve the article; it is not a place to discuss talk page guidelines. Please, take this to your own user talk pages or the discussion on these guidelines. I will not delete any portion of this thread, because I believe in preserving it for posterity, in case of (heaven forbid) a request for comment or even request for arbitration. I sincerely hope that this does not progress that far and that we can solve this dispute. Delta ( talk) 22:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I know I'm eating my own words about keeping things on topic, but whatever. First and foremost,THE REVERTING NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. Specifically, I am talking to you, the IP address (is there something else we can call you?). Constantly reverting after making replies or reverting after other's replies is a big no-no. It makes things much more difficult to keep track of and consequently, this whole thing will never get worked out.
Now, as I understand it, Xihr was defending his edits and "IP Guy" argued with him about whether they were valid or not. Then, the discussion was 'closed', but IP Guy started reverting the page due to his opinion of WP:DISCUSSION. And here we are.
Reverting talk pages are usually frowned upon, unless the edits made are slanderous and offensive. Since none of that has happened (and it better not!), it's best to keep all of this (yes, all of this!) as a record. In terms of WP:DISCUSSION, removing irrelevant topics is more along the lines of taking out fanboy talk or things waaay off topic like the weather. Things related to the article, such as an editor defending his edits, is completely acceptable. Hopefully, this will settle things once and for all, and we can get back to editing the article. Delta ( talk) 02:48, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Delta, it sounds like you find Xihr's behavior acceptable. He was not defending, he was offending. And you must confess that nothing he has ever done was constructive, and I mean EVER. If you look on his page you can see that most of the time he spends here is reverting articles from others. If there is a reason to revert something it's okay, but doing this without explanation is vandalism, like in my case. After he reverted it many times I've started this thread to discuss it. He defended himself by accusing me of violation of some Wikipedia policy. This policies are existing, but it's pretty obviously that he don't know the content of it, or is not willing to understand it. In this discussion he was never willing to show good faith. He kept accusing me of something, but he never quoted a relevant line of the policy he was referring to. But this is important, because this rules are not written in stone, and they could be interpreted in another way. It's not obviously what's right or wrong, but he insisted to see me as a violator instead to explain his point of view exactly with reasonable arguments. Is this really the way things should be handled here? I'm new here, and surely I make faults, but everyone who reads this thread can see that I'm willing to learn. At least I've removed the level list by myself after you, Delta, convinced me with reasonable arguments. To leave this thread clean and to avoid what finally happened (thanks Xihr) I was deleting everything what was out of topic after I agreed with you and deleted the level list. This was the topic, and the discussion should be over after we found a consensus. Xihr seemed to be unsatisfied, perhaps because I deleted the level list and not him. Nevertheless, I've explained my actions by referring to the WP:DISCUSSION -> KEEP ON TOPIC. But this seems to be a rule that could be broken from Xihr's point of view by transforming it into a personal discussion thread. And then he accused me of defacing it. That's what I call self parodying. Accusing others to violate rules by breaking the rules by himself, really funny.
Explain me, why newcomers like me should do anything here, when everyone would act like Xihr? You can still call me IP-Guy, because I won't create an account here. It's not worth the effort to do anything here again so long guys like Xihr are reverting things by arbitrary behavior without explanation, and can make their own rules. Don't you also think that someone who is referring so much like him should also act in the way? I'm out of it. It's pretty hopeless since there is no way to communicate in a reasonable way to Xihr. I hope at least you are happy with this result. Or in other words, that you should understand as a gamer: YOU WON! GAME OVER! 84.63.184.144 ( talk) 11:40, 9 January 2009 (UTC) The IP-Guy
Just for information: If you read Xihr's talk page carefully, you will see that he is known for making troubles with other users, e.g. in the discussion "Sade Adu" he already had trouble with an admin, Tabercil. Most of the discussion are about unexplained and invalid reversions. And I've seen that he deleted comments from IP-Guy, which was unacceptable in this thread. I think that the Wikipedia rules are also valid for his discussion page, so stop deleting comments immediately! 193.100.62.28 ( talk) 12:04, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Protip: The only way to ensure the end of a discussion is to end it yourself. That means stop talking, and let them have the last word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.152.148.234 ( talk) 05:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
A good point was brought up in a discussion. The current plot summary is way too in-depth and detailed for what's appropriate according to WP:PLOT. I propose reverting the plot section back to this one, as I feel it was concise, had plenty of references and wasn't overly detailed Delta ( talk) 16:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

The article is a wreck—barely C-class, currently. Back in 2007, it was a pretty strong A-Class article for the time. A straight revert would probably improve the article, but perhaps some of the newer content could stay. JimmyBlackwing ( talk) 01:57, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
There is an upcoming album named "F.E.A.R." by Papa Roach that is not mentioned in the upper section of this article. I believe there is now a need for a proper disambiguation page that would link to all the F.E.A.R. articles. -- 149.156.157.66 ( talk) 11:52, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: no consensus. ( non-admin closure) Steel1943 ( talk) 18:33, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
– Series has more than 3 video game articles now per WP:NCVG, set this page to be the secondary article. Neverrainy ( talk) 16:48, 7 October 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. bd2412 T 14:27, 17 October 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:03, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved. The arguments are equally convincing, but the headcount is much more in favour one way than the other. For what it's worth: yes, people do recall the first game the most, and they might recall the sequel, but not the threequel. But on the other hand, I think WP:NCVGDAB is a good guideline to follow in these cases. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Sceptre ( talk) 01:55, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
– Not sure why the last move request failed. Pageviews indicate that the series page and other games in the series get roughly 200 views daily while the F.E.A.R. article gets around 400, indicating that many people are probably getting brought to the first game when they just want info on the series. It makes sense to move the series page to the main namespace, as all the games are clearly notable in some respect. @ Steel1943:, @ Neverrainy:, @ Cuchullain:, @ The1337gamer:, @ Amakuru: as involved in the last move attempt. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 04:35, 19 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)--Relisting. A1Cafel ( talk) 02:46, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
Naming conflicts often arise between a video game and a series based on it. The conflict should be settled according to the disambiguation guidelines and the specific conventions below. In many cases, the series will be the primary topic as a broad concept article covering all the related uses, including the original game. In such cases, the series should take the base name while the video game article is disambiguated. I don't see why this article should be an exception, on the contrary, available evidence indicates it should not. No such user ( talk) 09:12, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: no consensus. ( non-admin closure) Steel1943 ( talk) 18:33, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
– Series has more than 3 video game articles now per WP:NCVG, set this page to be the secondary article. Neverrainy ( talk) 16:48, 7 October 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. bd2412 T 14:27, 17 October 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 ( talk) 15:03, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved. The arguments are equally convincing, but the headcount is much more in favour one way than the other. For what it's worth: yes, people do recall the first game the most, and they might recall the sequel, but not the threequel. But on the other hand, I think WP:NCVGDAB is a good guideline to follow in these cases. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Sceptre ( talk) 01:55, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
– Not sure why the last move request failed. Pageviews indicate that the series page and other games in the series get roughly 200 views daily while the F.E.A.R. article gets around 400, indicating that many people are probably getting brought to the first game when they just want info on the series. It makes sense to move the series page to the main namespace, as all the games are clearly notable in some respect. @ Steel1943:, @ Neverrainy:, @ Cuchullain:, @ The1337gamer:, @ Amakuru: as involved in the last move attempt.

Naming conflicts often arise between a video game and a series based on it. The conflict should be settled according to the disambiguation guidelines and the specific conventions below. In many cases, the series will be the primary topic as a broad concept article covering all the related uses, including the original game. In such cases, the series should take the base name while the video game article is disambiguated. I don't see why this article should be an exception, on the contrary, available evidence indicates it should not. No such user ( talk) 09:12, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
