Just a few questions on the priorities. First of all, would you consider that Starcraft is Top-priority, being one of the first RTS games? Second, should Age of Empires be Top-priority, being the first historical RTS? Third, should the first game of a series determine the priority of the next? (for example, just because Civilization is Top-priority, should Civilization IV be Top too?) Thanks! · AO Talk 12:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
For your help bringing Eragon (video game) up to GA. Having played the demo for fifteen minutes, I think it's probably the worst game to be the subject of a good article. UnaLaguna 05:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey Jim I have a bunch of assessing to do for a wikiproject I'm a part of, and I just noticed Ikiroid (a friend of mine) made an alternate account. Am I allowed to make one for assessing articles and the like?-- Clyde ( talk) 16:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't know whether you've looked at Gwoyeu Romatzyh recently, but it was promoted to FA earlier today. Many thanks indeed for your thoughtful comments on the article, which have helped us bring it up to FA standard. All the best, -- NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 11:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello Clyde Miller.

It really should be merged into ee1 article.. the problem is there isn't a huge amount of things to be said about it as it's a very small game.-- The Negotiator 15:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Special note to spamlist users: Apologies for the formatting issues in previous issues. This only recently became a problem due to a change in HTML Tidy; however, I am to blame on this issue. Sorry, and all messages from this one forward should be fine (I hope!) -Ral315

Clyde,
I have been reading a lot of your edits within the scope of the VG project, and just now I saw the 'cleanup taskforce member' tag on your userspace. While I do not really believe in creating subpages and all of the other cleanup formalities, I was wondering if you could aid me by cleaning up the Supreme Commander article.
The current state of the article is some unsourced game guide information plus well-referenced sections on Factions and Reception. The unsourced game guide stuff dates from February 2007, and has been moved around a bit to make sensible sections. Factions has been heavily edited by many people, with lots of copy edits. Reception is largely my work.
Recently editing has stagnated, with mostly copy-edits and reverts for the last couple of weeks. I had been wondering what to edit now, and a run with a vacuum cleaner by a good editor seems like a good solution.
Regards,
User:Krator ( t c) 22:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
PS: To avoid confusion later, I read the message on top of this page, and will await a response on my own talk page, or Supreme Commander's.
Do you know what happened to Game Ratio's article? FMF| contact 17:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for all your work reviewing R&C3 it's been loads of help and I'm going to put it up for FAC and see how it fares. Keep up the good work. =) Crimsonfox 18:15, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Yo I noticed that the reception section in SupCom seems to be your baby, but the references in the gameplay section are lacking. An old and widely used trick I've found is to use the description of the game from reviews as refs for parts in gameplay. Basically find a sentence that asserts a fact, and ref it. I could do this, but the time it would take me to orient myself with each reference and find the potential citations would probably take a lot longer than it would for you. Just a suggestion if this is going for GA or beyond.-- Clyde ( talk) 22:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

you should make a template like urgent FACs or FARs except copyediting requests. Maybe article name, status, and reason. Seems like you are getting legit spam from people who need help (I was a lucky one), but you are getting a huge talk page from a bunch of "help me please"'s. Just an idea.-- Clyde ( talk) 00:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I reverted the edit due to the removal of the "trivia" section. I figured it probably shouldn't have been deleted, but sorry if I messed up. Omega Archdoom Talk 04:43, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey about your edit when you removed the trivia section, I think it would be better to keep that in there until you can integrate it into proper sections of the article. Also I'd recommend using edit summaries from now on (the box at the bottom) so people know what you're doing and why. Finally, you might want to add something to your userpage since it makes your name a red link when nothing is there.-- Clyde ( talk) 04:56, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Dude have you quit? Just because your first FAC failed doesn't mean you should give up. It took me two FACs and lots of work to get an article up to FA. If you're still up for it, I'll help you, but now is not the time to give up. C'mon you're so close.-- Clyde ( talk) 20:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Jim you finished with System Shock FAC a while ago and I was wondering if you saw this pattern. Did you notice that on the FAC people will go through many articles, make tons of comments to them, then never follow up? This happened three or so times so far for with me so far, and it is slightly frustrating. Did this happen to you, and is this normal?-- Clyde ( talk) 03:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Yo Gig, why two columns? [1] There's only 24 references, and at the time that made the references overlap and become and unreadable. I also was in a discussion on some TMNT game and one of the involved parties mentioned that two columns can mess up on certain browsers. Just thought you might want to keep that in mind. However I don't know if consensus was reached about it, so I'd guess it's at the user's discretion.-- Clyde ( talk) 15:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
