Hello, I've been working on the Universe of Kingdom Hearts article trying to improve it to GA. Judgesurreal777 suggested that I get your input on it since you've contributed a great deal to the similar FF articles. It is currently under peer review at the WikiProject Video games. Any thoughts you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ( Guyinblack25 talk 19:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC))
Hi, I noticed that you signed the above dispute to certify, but did you really mean to endorse? Certification is for those who have "tried and failed to resolve the dispute." Checking Ned Scott's talk page I see comments from you but usually tangential to any dispute. -- Tony Sidaway 00:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
No, this is something I saw on the History Channel several years ago and Jaws has been one of my favorite movies. In the real world I do Southern History. Thanks again for the copyedit. Dmoon1 17:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Remember this one? Passed as a GA and I put in a request for copyediting? Well it was finally answered. Quality work, even though it was a new editor. What I wanted to ask you, and I know you're busy, is if it is okay for the campaign to be in the form it is currently in (sort of a list with a little prose). Originally it was all prose but the copyeditor changed that. Should I restore it back to prose or is it better in its current form? In case I decide later to go to FA.-- Clyde ( talk) 17:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
The articles are coming along, I've got six characters left to do on the overview article, and I'm trying to dig up some stuff for general development and reception of the characters (any references you may have would be appreciated), and I've got a paragraph up on the merchandise of the characters. With luck, the characters article will be done soon and moved out to mainspace. The minor characters list article is also coming along nicely since Clawed One reduced the size of most of the sectons, so a reworded and reorganised (but still incomplete) version should follow the main characters article by a few days. It be nice if I could find a list of credits for the casting of Insurrection and Retribution though. They give who did voices, but not which actor did which character.
I've figured out a way to reintegrate the factions, I'm going to stick them in short paragraphs in their respective species pages, moving all plot details into the relevant faction. This way, it'll open up the main bulk of the article to the design of the species, gameplay aspects and other out-of-universe information, and won't end up in several articles for factions full of nothing but plot detail. The locations article is coming along, I've not really changed much of it in a while but I'll get back on it after the characters are done. I've also thought about creating a list article for capital ships, similar in function to something like Weapons of Middle-earth - it'll only contain named ships (Gantrithor, Hyperion, etc) and with luck some development information as well - I'm sure there's a commentary on the creation of the ships in cinematics somewhere. It's all coming along gradually: I'm hoping to have most of these, if not all, uploaded by the end of the month. -- Sabre 13:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
I just tried merging a number of the rewritten minor characters into the main article (archived version here), but it's took the file size to 76kb (and it's still an incomplete list), which according to WP:SIZE#A_rule_of_thumb means the minor characters should be taken out. Under the old policy there was no problem: a simple yet effective list could be used. The problem arises with the new WP:FICTION policy: minor characters have borderline notablity on their own, but "encyclopedic treatment" certainly causes the article to become too long (I realise that this is aimed at separating information from the main game article, but it has to be applied to other circumstances as well). So under existing size policies, the minor characters can't be merged, but under the new WP:FICTION policy, they should be merged. Transwiki-ing (not that I want to get involved any more than I am with SC wiki) or deleting isn't really an option.
I think we need a small tweak to the new policy, maybe something along the lines that "minor characters should be contained within a characters article unless encyclopedic treatment causes the article to become too long. In these cases the minor characters should be split off into a list article and this article is treated as an extension of the parent article". So minor characters stay in the host article unless it starts to mess with WP:SIZE, in which case a new article is created that has it's notability intrinsicly linked to the notability of the article it was split from, and thereby addressing the real-wold information deficit - information about the main characters generally applies to the minor characters anyway. It just doesn't seem right that no minor characters should be included simply because there too many. -- Sabre 09:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship. Unfortunately the nomination did not succeed, but please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Wikipedia project, and I'll try again in a few months! If you ever have any questions or suggestions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, -- El on ka 06:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm almost done with the Bob Meusel article, and I'm wondering if you could copyedit it before I place it in WP:FAC. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 00:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
One, I was wondering if you could copyedit E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Atari 2600), as it is up for FAC again and someone already suggested a copyedit.
Second, what are your thoughts on fixing Duke Nukem Forever's proseline? Kraktor denied A-class standing, and he hasn't responded to my requests for assistance. i read the Final Fantasy FA development sections, but I perceive those as nice and easy – development hasn't dragged out for ten years, or if it was delayed it's still relatively easy to cover it. How do I adquately cover the myraid of development hell while avoiding proseline? hbdragon88 04:57, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
I'd say that ROTJ is done, except for a few references that need to be added. If you'd like to copyedit it, I'd really appreciate it. ;) The Filmaker 04:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Ugh, I wish I *was* ready. There are still a handful of unsourced statements (such as the one about it being Sakaguchi's last directed game in the main series), the prose for the plot section still needs a bit of work, and I need to play through the PSX version or get a hold of a copy of the GBA version for true Square Enix script references (the ones I have are from a translation). But I'd still be willing to nominate it if the project wants. ~ Hibana 13:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
I think that this IP (76.169.178.139) needs to be blocked for preventing any other vandalism on Derek Sherinian article. -- ΛэтєяиuS 09:29, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Looks swell. I kept thinking they looked a little thin on their own, and am glad someone thought to merge them. Thanks! -- EEMeltonIV 03:58, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
See What you did to me? Seriously, do you mean a soft redirect? I didn't think you can redirect to a wikia article. CitiCat ♫ 14:35, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't know. I planned on taking another long break after this article since school is about to start back. I had to do a project on The Slave Community for my summer semester class, if it had not been for that I probably would have taken a break after the shark attack article. Around a year ago, someone asked me to revise the Han Solo article, so I had been thinking about that, but there are articles in worse shape. I still need to do something for the Horror Project, as well. Thanks again for copy-editing these last two articles. Dmoon1 16:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I have created an article about the whole Ghostbusters franchise as there wasn't one. I would really really really love if you would take a look at it, and help me get it into better shape in any way you can. It is a new article, it needs help, and I folded a bunch of stubby ghostbusters articles into it that are going to get reverted unless I can build up this article better :) Thanks much!
