The user involved (just removed off of AIV) was deleting things off of Current Events. I tell them on their talk page. They then accuse me of being a sock, which I'm not. I'm just logged out of my regular account. 108.160.125.102 ( talk) 01:34, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
So from what I can tell, the IPv6 is claiming to be reverting sock edits related to an IP that Ponyo blocked as part of a checkuser action. I cannot really validate that, I don't know the case. Either way, it does not appear to be bad faith vandalism, so doesn't belong at AIV. IPv4/Dreigorich is simply reporting it, so consider it duly noted, and declined as not vandalism. IPv4 clearly doesn't geolocate to the IP that Ponyo blocked, but Ponyo has access to more data than I do. I asked Ponyo to take a look at the case. I see no reason to issue blocks just yet and recommend both IPs go find something else to edit for now. -- ferret ( talk) 01:43, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
That IP, those IPs--now that they're screaming at full blast, they are reminding me of someone, a screamer, who would say their name after a while (I know, sounds very sexy). Look at the IPs: after the first two they're all over the place, and I threw out a few rangeblocks; one of them is their "home range", I think, since they've been making the same trivial edits to children's TV shows and stuff for four years. But thanks for the blocks, and the semiprotection--I thought I'd let it go for another round or two and see what else they came up with, but protection is the better option, I know. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 01:58, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello,
You reverted my edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Chell_(Portal)&oldid=prev&diff=837216031 and claimed it is unsourced, but it has a source cited. In fact it is the same source that was already there, I just brought more information from the same source to the article. It talked about the poster and I added more information written down on the exact same poster, but you deleted my edit as unsourced, even though it was from the exact same poster the rest of the section was sourced from. Why is that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nohus ( talk • contribs) 00:21, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
I actually dug back through to see just what was on the Brian Peppers and Longcat pages. Apparently the former was two paragraphs with no references, while the latter was just "Longcat is long". I just had to laugh that those were being used as reasoning.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 01:09, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi! This user keeps reverting the List of Square Enix video game franchises article without proving his points that Hat Trick Hero S's a port of Hat Trick Hero '95, not a new game. I've asked him five times for a source and he's acting on bad faith, because I undid his claims, since he didn't have anything confirming what he added to the article's correct. He already broke the 3RR and is trying to engage me in an edit-war. Can you help me on this one, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.164.80.49 ( talk) 16:44, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I see you have protected the article when the sock has last removed the contents of it. You might want to have a look at the changes he has made. 1.He has removed the names of the University: (State Technological University of Madhya Pradesh) you can can confirm this here: https://www.rgpv.ac.in/ which is the official website of the university. Rajiv Gandhi Technical University you can confirm this here on the About Us page of official website of the University https://www.rgpv.ac.in/AboutRGTU/AboutRGPV.aspx 2. He has removed references, affiliations, campus area, images of the university (you can see the names of university here too) which are already on wikimedia. 3. He has removed the table without any reason. I request you to restore the content. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.88.168.9 ( talk) 17:07, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
But then you deleted my edit and caused a merge conflict, while I was still editing. In the user talk you have said that it was because it did not appear constructive. How should it be more constructive then and if I write it in a blog post, then cite it on the page, would it be any different?
Here is a part of the text:
It was later revealed by former employees that the whole development of the game was funded to be used as a front for a massive money laundering scheme by foreign investors from Russia. Near the release date several hundred thousand copies of the game were bought from Russian bank accounts. Then the team was dismissed and the fictive development was put to a hold. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.236.131.37 ( talk) 19:04, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Ferret. You said here that the IPv6 is an LTA, and has been /64 range blocked for 2 further years. But actually you have only blocked the range for 31 hours. Bishonen | talk 21:18, 16 October 2018 (UTC).

I see now that you were correct about the pro controller bundle. I had not realised there was a game bundle that included the pro controller as well. I'm not sure whether another sentence for the console, game, and joy-con bundle should be included as well. As for the part where I reverted an edit made recently under the main section, the user stated that the project plan was finished, when it really was that the idea was first being conceived. The project plan was likely not finished in the same month, and even if it was, talking about the idea for the game itself sounds better and is more important than talking about the project plan. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please reply with whether you thought my ideas were a good idea, or go ahead and implement them yourself, as there's no point in me doing it if it's just going to get reverted again.

Hey,
I saw that you reverted all of the additions I made to Diablo Immortal, with the incredibly condescending comment, "Almost none of this is salvageable". I understand if you feel like you're holding back a tidal wave when maintaining Wikipedia. But if you feel like treating contributors that way, you should just step away for a while. Because alienating the userbase is kind of against the ethos of Wikipedia.
Drkirienko ( talk) 15:06, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
That's all well and good. But you could have easily put in something like that in as a summary, rather than the judgmental tone that you used. All you've done is to discourage participation.

No, I don't want to override you. I too saw the AIV report as a VOA, and like you decided that wasn't true: there are a few constructive edits. However, looking at the whole picture, including the deleted edits (which are more than twice as many as the undeleted ones) I decided that it was very close to a disruption-only account, even if not quite. I thought it was a close call between on the one hand a limited block with a strong warning about a possible longer block, and an indef block but with a fairly friendly block notice, encouraging the editor to make an unblock request with a promise to change his ways. I decided to go for the second of those, but I accept that you took it a different way. Your block + my warning should, I hope, get the message across.

Can you please tell me how repeated attempts to place the adjective "non-profit" in quotation marks at College Board - an obvious smear against the organization that is rooted in discontent about how it charges money for its services - is a "content dispute" as you recently labeled it at WP:AIV? This is long-term vandalism at that article and your support of a "new" editor who popped up just to continue that vandalism is very disheartening. (This should have been more obvious after I also reported the same editor for edit-warring on my User Talk page.) ElKevbo ( talk) 19:01, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello, you reverted my edit adding the Amethyst game engine to the list of game engines, because you qualified it as "non notable". I find the qualification a little bit arbitrary (as Amethyst is the largest Rust game engine publicly available), I was wondering what criteria is used to determine whether or not a game engine is irrelevant. Thank you in advance. Moxinilian ( talk) 01:58, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

So the band's own homepage is not a reliable source? The interview says:
This means they had five original members (Shadows, Zacky, unknown dude, Matt Wendt and Rev). Two of them left, one for college (unknown dude) and their old bassist (Matt Wendt). Then they added Syn and Justin. Even if Matt Wendt was the one who left for college, it would still leave upon one other dude that was mentioned by the interviewer.

Hello,
I noticed that you reverted my edit quickly once published. Much of the information can be rendered "useless" but my main points should stay about his political views, net worth, twitter activities, etc. Under the 'Twitter Controversies" section, a prior section of his page discussed about race, particularly white.
"In November 2017, Persson was criticized for posting a tweet that read, "It's ok to be white." In follow-up tweets, he said he believed privilege is a "made up metric." Critics of Persson said his message was "tone-deaf" and "ignorant"; The Root called the tweets a "white-privilege meltdown."[33]" - Currently on his page
"In December 2018, Persson again caused controversy in regards to politics, race, intelligence, among other things. One tweet that generated much attention was a tweet about intelligence among different races.[34] It has been speculated that Persson was insinuating scientific racism. Another tweet that was controversial was when Persson responded to a user that was denying that there was an "agenda against white men" by replying "There clearly is an agenda against white men."[35]" - My edit.
Half of my edit is identical to the previous one. I am curious as to why you would revert my whole edit? I do understand why but couldn't you atleast take a little bit of time and let the "okay" edits stand? All that I am doing messaging here is to gain understanding. I also added a portion back onto the Wikipedia page due to overlooking secondary sources. Those have been added also.
Including, by the sounds of the [ or questionable sources as sources on themselves], it is ok to use Twitter as a source. According to the 5 points, the tweets appear to uphold 3/5. They are direct sources from Markus himself; his own views. News organizations are not going to be tracking his every tweet. And with the amount of tweets in regards to his political beliefs, would it be ok to now include such a section? I think so.
I eagerly await your response! Thank you!

Hi, I recently nominated a page called Rhythm Wagholikar for deletion, a page about a non-notable author. The creator of that page User:Mukesh.bhardwaj40 left a message asking for help on how to make it better, I explained him what I could regarding WP:GNG, conversation is on my talk page. He then showed me a list of awards "Rhythm" won, then I explained those aren't eligible. He then went on trying to push me to somehow say yes to include the author or the book . Him trying hard made me suspicious and I did a check on his talk page. He made an article called Oye Digital marketing that got deleted. Basically that is a Brand marketing agency, that promotes people's web presence i guess. Then I googled the username and the Oye agency together and It brought up some interesting results, you might wanna have a look there. Daiyusha ( talk) 16:15, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

The content of the small edit is made up of information that is objective, basic in its complexity, and impossible to source in its nature. Evidence should not need demonstration. Look through your own eyes, not through some rules. Read what was written. This situation is a symbol of wikipedia's decline and ossification. What's the point of contributing with something that is true if one cannot find a "source" from it, even if the nature of the text is unsourceable. Threatening with ban against an attitude of collaboration this page was founded upon is downright tyrannical and contrary to the spirit of the early days of this page, i hope you can realise this. sigh — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aeduh ( talk • contribs) 16:26, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Well one thing is with Black Ops Three I just added that it’s not like the first two and that people tend to get confused about that and then you removed it.

Heya Ferret ... I saw your edit about "not including emulators in the infobox". While I bet that is how Jedi Academy was implemented on the Xbox One, it is certainly not apparent to users that this is an emulated product. Only a very limited number of original Xbox games are available on the Xbox One. They must be released as such, rather than just loaded into an emulator.

By comparison, Ghost Warrior 3 is made of freedom. For clarity, this isn’t Far Cry (the open world is nowhere near as vast), and the 26 missions and 16 side missions won’t take you all that long to get through, but what’s here is well-designed enough."
Actually one can say Porecca is unreliable, he complains about empty roads (mostly true) but he does not know the goal behind the game's open world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichalZim ( talk • contribs) 16:36, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for explanation. Still, it seems strange to me, that this guy giving title of the worst game of the year ( Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw) to a quite entertaining game has credentials and can be quoted, but you can't write that another reviewer liked something, because hey, this reviewer does not have credentials. Mick Fraser's experience as a reviewer is another matter, to delve into at a different time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichalZim ( talk • contribs) 20:09, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

"Reverted 1 edit by EzekielT: You've been reverted on this multiple times by multiple editors. The onus is on you to make your case on the talk page, not wait a month or two and try again. See WP:BRD."
I was reverted only by one editor, Serge. Who was also the only editor who voiced opposition to my edit. And we were having a discussion about it, and then all of a sudden the admin left the conversation. Around a month later, Serge reverted my edit without notifying me. Since the discussion had not concluded when Serge reverted my edit, I added it back. I also made a compromise to the user by leaving the (3DS family) 74.84 million and (DS family) 154.02 million figures there and not deleting them. -- EzekielT Talk 22:00, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

The additions about Markus Persson's support of conspiracy theories was removed citing the lack of secondary coverage. However, one of the items had 2 citations and both items linked directly to Persson's statements on Twitter.

Got your message, but thought to message you directly. As I posted on the talk page, I thought to justify some of my FFXIV editing by showing Ibberd not to be a bit character as Axem Titanium referenced him due to how he progress the storyline as a "Knight of Cerebus"-type of villain. The first being the infamous "regicide" in 2.5 where Ibberd chopped off Raubhan's arm and turned the Crystal Braves on the Scions, starting at 1:35:22, then acting against Lolorito in 3.0 to execute Raubhan as a "traitor" to their nation, and finally Iberd unmasked as the Griffon before committing suicide while using the aether in Nidhogg's Eyes (which the Ascian got in the 3.3 epilogue) and his subordinates' dying prayers to create Shinryu in the first half of 3.5. 2603:9000:7D0A:8C00:934:7319:9A57:C47D ( talk) 22:25, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey there. I saw that you've been working a little bit on Ridley (Metroid) along with 999999 other things as always. I saw that you had reverted some blatant fancruft including links to wikia. Sadly this kind of topic needs a bridge between an encyclopedia and a fansite. :-/ I personally would like to officially link directly to wikia (whether as a citation or some other template) and I want to agree with the other editor's edit message in response to you, as a way to offload fandom. It sounds like he was intending wikia as a soft source in lieu of WP:RS. But there isn't one official way to offload fandom at wikipedia other than to delete it, and the wikia administration is kinda problematic and I hear that site has lost many of its wikis due to its admin behavior. Are we not allowed to put wikia in External links? It seems like there should be a template for that, like there is for findagrave and twitter lol. But anyway that's my semi-blubbering opinion. Luckily, Ridley has a fair amount of RS. Anyway I thought you might want to be aware in case of fandom resurgence, and might want to check that I didn't delete a WP:RS or such. No offense since you're so busy but I am honestly surprised that you put up with such extreme fandom in this particular article, and I just got Nintendonix banned for all the endless garbage WP:OR. I've never seen anyone else NOT ONLY mention WatchMojo over and over in countless articles but ALSO just not even bother to actually cite the dreck among all the carefully wikicoded WP:OR about it! — Smuckola (talk) 04:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

The user involved (just removed off of AIV) was deleting things off of Current Events. I tell them on their talk page. They then accuse me of being a sock, which I'm not. I'm just logged out of my regular account. 108.160.125.102 ( talk) 01:34, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
So from what I can tell, the IPv6 is claiming to be reverting sock edits related to an IP that Ponyo blocked as part of a checkuser action. I cannot really validate that, I don't know the case. Either way, it does not appear to be bad faith vandalism, so doesn't belong at AIV. IPv4/Dreigorich is simply reporting it, so consider it duly noted, and declined as not vandalism. IPv4 clearly doesn't geolocate to the IP that Ponyo blocked, but Ponyo has access to more data than I do. I asked Ponyo to take a look at the case. I see no reason to issue blocks just yet and recommend both IPs go find something else to edit for now. -- ferret ( talk) 01:43, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
That IP, those IPs--now that they're screaming at full blast, they are reminding me of someone, a screamer, who would say their name after a while (I know, sounds very sexy). Look at the IPs: after the first two they're all over the place, and I threw out a few rangeblocks; one of them is their "home range", I think, since they've been making the same trivial edits to children's TV shows and stuff for four years. But thanks for the blocks, and the semiprotection--I thought I'd let it go for another round or two and see what else they came up with, but protection is the better option, I know.

Hello,
You reverted my edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Chell_(Portal)&oldid=prev&diff=837216031 and claimed it is unsourced, but it has a source cited. In fact it is the same source that was already there, I just brought more information from the same source to the article. It talked about the poster and I added more information written down on the exact same poster, but you deleted my edit as unsourced, even though it was from the exact same poster the rest of the section was sourced from.

But then you deleted my edit and caused a merge conflict, while I was still editing. In the user talk you have said that it was because it did not appear constructive. How should it be more constructive then and if I write it in a blog post, then cite it on the page, would it be any different?
Here is a part of the text:
It was later revealed by former employees that the whole development of the game was funded to be used as a front for a massive money laundering scheme by foreign investors from Russia. Near the release date several hundred thousand copies of the game were bought from Russian bank accounts.

I see now that you were correct about the pro controller bundle. I had not realised there was a game bundle that included the pro controller as well. I'm not sure whether another sentence for the console, game, and joy-con bundle should be included as well. As for the part where I reverted an edit made recently under the main section, the user stated that the project plan was finished, when it really was that the idea was first being conceived. The project plan was likely not finished in the same month, and even if it was, talking about the idea for the game itself sounds better and is more important than talking about the project plan. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please reply with whether you thought my ideas were a good idea, or go ahead and implement them yourself, as there's no point in me doing it if it's just going to get reverted again.

Hey,
I saw that you reverted all of the additions I made to Diablo Immortal, with the incredibly condescending comment, "Almost none of this is salvageable". I understand if you feel like you're holding back a tidal wave when maintaining Wikipedia. But if you feel like treating contributors that way, you should just step away for a while. Because alienating the userbase is kind of against the ethos of Wikipedia.

No, I don't want to override you. I too saw the AIV report as a VOA, and like you decided that wasn't true: there are a few constructive edits. However, looking at the whole picture, including the deleted edits (which are more than twice as many as the undeleted ones) I decided that it was very close to a disruption-only account, even if not quite. I thought it was a close call between on the one hand a limited block with a strong warning about a possible longer block, and an indef block but with a fairly friendly block notice, encouraging the editor to make an unblock request with a promise to change his ways. I decided to go for the second of those, but I accept that you took it a different way. Your block + my warning should, I hope, get the message across.

Can you please tell me how repeated attempts to place the adjective "non-profit" in quotation marks at College Board - an obvious smear against the organization that is rooted in discontent about how it charges money for its services - is a "content dispute" as you recently labeled it at WP:AIV? This is long-term vandalism at that article and your support of a "new" editor who popped up just to continue that vandalism is very disheartening.

Hello, you reverted my edit adding the Amethyst game engine to the list of game engines, because you qualified it as "non notable".

Hello,
I noticed that you reverted my edit quickly once published. Much of the information can be rendered "useless" but my main points should stay about his political views, net worth, twitter activities, etc. Under the 'Twitter Controversies" section, a prior section of his page discussed about race, particularly white.
"In November 2017, Persson was criticized for posting a tweet that read, "It's ok to be white." In follow-up tweets, he said he believed privilege is a "made up metric." Critics of Persson said his message was "tone-deaf" and "ignorant"; The Root called the tweets a "white-privilege meltdown."[33]" - Currently on his page
"In December 2018, Persson again caused controversy in regards to politics, race, intelligence, among other things. One tweet that generated much attention was a tweet about intelligence among different races.[34] It has been speculated that Persson was insinuating scientific racism. Another tweet that was controversial was when Persson responded to a user that was denying that there was an "agenda against white men" by replying "There clearly is an agenda against white men."[35]" - My edit.
Half of my edit is identical to the previous one. I am curious as to why you would revert my whole edit? I do understand why but couldn't you atleast take a little bit of time and let the "okay" edits stand? All that I am doing messaging here is to gain understanding. I also added a portion back onto the Wikipedia page due to overlooking secondary sources. Those have been added also.
Including, by the sounds of the [ or questionable sources as sources on themselves], it is ok to use Twitter as a source. According to the 5 points, the tweets appear to uphold 3/5. They are direct sources from Markus himself; his own views. News organizations are not going to be tracking his every tweet. And with the amount of tweets in regards to his political beliefs, would it be ok to now include such a section? I think so.
I eagerly await your response! Thank you!

Hi, I recently nominated a page called Rhythm Wagholikar for deletion, a page about a non-notable author. The creator of that page User:Mukesh.bhardwaj40 left a message asking for help on how to make it better, I explained him what I could regarding WP:GNG, conversation is on my talk page. He then showed me a list of awards "Rhythm" won, then I explained those aren't eligible. He then went on trying to push me to somehow say yes to include the author or the book . Him trying hard made me suspicious and I did a check on his talk page. He made an article called Oye Digital marketing that got deleted. Basically that is a Brand marketing agency, that promotes people's web presence i guess. Then I googled the username and the Oye agency together and It brought up some interesting results, you might wanna have a look there. Daiyusha ( talk) 16:15, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Look through your own eyes, not through some rules. Read what was written. This situation is a symbol of wikipedia's decline and ossification. What's the point of contributing with something that is true if one cannot find a "source" from it, even if the nature of the text is unsourceable. Threatening with ban against an attitude of collaboration this page was founded upon is downright tyrannical and contrary to the spirit of the early days of this page, i hope you can realise this. sigh — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aeduh ( talk • contribs) 16:26, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Didn't see you reverted to a previous version at same time as I was going through them. I never looked at the ref just pasted it in to the article from pending changes. Sorry about that, RhinosF1 ( talk) 22:11, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi. So I was wondering how I’m not adding important things to the call of duty’s. Well one thing is with Black Ops Three I just added that it’s not like the first two and that people tend to get confused about that and then you removed it. You edit summary was a little confusing to me so could you explain? And with call of duty WWII I added dates and some more to the story line. I understand about second person so in the future I will change that but could explain that too? Thanks! Somebody persome ( talk) 14:59, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Oh! Thank you! I will try to work on this before I add more things! I’m very sorry about all this it’s just I really like doing this and I was really confused! Once again thank you! Somebody persome ( talk) 15:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Well what do you mean sources? I don’t really understand that part. Could you maybe explain more? Somebody persome ( talk) 16:06, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
The game was released worldwide on November 3, 2017, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Whoops, I got things mixed up. I thought we used the mm/dd/yy format mainly instead of the dd/mm/yy but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for correcting me. HurricaneGeek2002 ( talk) 14:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
Heya Ferret ... I saw your edit about "not including emulators in the infobox". While I bet that is how Jedi Academy was implemented on the Xbox One, it is certainly not apparent to users that this is an emulated product. Only a very limited number of original Xbox games are available on the Xbox One. They must be released as such, rather than just loaded into an emulator.
Has this difference been discussed before w.r.t infobox? I believe it is a very important distinction. And/or where would that discussion be found? Thanks! Gstein ( talk) 04:52, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
I rolled back your edit; I was in the process of creating the discussion because I was following the steps in order. Usually, I give the person posting a template like that a few hours before removing it, to prevent a back and forth once the discussion is opened.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Multiplayer (disambiguation) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Multiplayer (disambiguation) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Daiyusha ( talk) 16:56, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
I understand that reverting is more easy, but instead of it you could just rewrite it in the way you thought was more accurate. You completely revert all I did, without discrimination. However in source number 54, CD Projekt admits that: "The Company had legitimately and legally acquired copyright to Mr. Andrzej Sapkowski's work". And the work is The Witcher. Isn't it?

I made some changes to Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire with several links about how players are Boycotting / Striking/ Revolting due to astonishing rates or in game items being dropped. Why was it removed?

@Ferret: I believe it is important since many players from across the world are participating in the Boycott / Strike / Revolt.

This is what wikipedia says about notability: "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article."
I'm not creating an article but merely adding the engine to a list, that has many reliable third party sources and notable games using it. If this doesn't belong on the list, then why 4A does? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddmanx ( talk • contribs) 21:02, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sniper:_Ghost_Warrior_3&oldid=prev&diff=884084624
Well, why would godisageek be an unreliable source in this case? They know about Sniper Ghost Warrior's 2 biggest problems, i.e. rails, lack of freedom and in Sniper Ghost Warrior 3's open world they see fix for this. They explain that SGW 3's open world is not Far Cry, but still they like what has been done here...
"My biggest complaint against Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 was the lack of freedom, that a game that should be about intricate recon and precision execution was so frustratingly linear. By comparison, Ghost Warrior 3 is made of freedom. For clarity, this isn’t Far Cry (the open world is nowhere near as vast), and the 26 missions and 16 side missions won’t take you all that long to get through, but what’s here is well-designed enough."
Actually one can say Porecca is unreliable, he complains about empty roads (mostly true) but he does not know the goal behind the game's open world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichalZim ( talk • contribs) 16:36, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for explanation. Still, it seems strange to me, that this guy giving title of the worst game of the year ( Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw) to a quite entertaining game has credentials and can be quoted, but you can't write that another reviewer liked something, because hey, this reviewer does not have credentials. Mick Fraser's experience as a reviewer is another matter, to delve into at a different time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichalZim ( talk • contribs) 20:09, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
I realized that Doug will be transitioned to President on April before you reverted my edit. Just to be clear, I was too busy to revert my edit, due to school. RareButterflyDoors ( talk) 02:52, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
"Reverted 1 edit by EzekielT: You've been reverted on this multiple times by multiple editors. The onus is on you to make your case on the talk page, not wait a month or two and try again. See WP:BRD."
I was reverted only by one editor, Serge. Who was also the only editor who voiced opposition to my edit. And we were having a discussion about it, and then all of a sudden the admin left the conversation. Around a month later, Serge reverted my edit without notifying me. Since the discussion had not concluded when Serge reverted my edit, I added it back. I also made a compromise to the user by leaving the (3DS family) 74.84 million and (DS family) 154.02 million figures there and not deleting them. -- EzekielT Talk 22:00, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
do you have any idea how many pages there are with the led/lead typos?
being lead is lead was lead has lead have lead had lead
etc
and do you have any idea how many pages give false positives? DS ( talk) 03:11, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi dear admin. I'm one hundred percent sure that the source User:Shadegan mentioned doesn't say anything about Lurs in Luri. He must prove that his source mentions that, but I'm sure that he can't. You shouldn't leave the page after protection, and if I am right, you should undo his edit. please read the talk page or the two last sections of User talk:Fajr18. Then, you can decide if I am right or wrong, and I'll respect your decision. Best regards. Taddah ( talk) 15:23, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello. Sorry for that, I will take my mistakes into account. Just have to adapt a bit more to EnWiki's policies. Ur frnd ( talk) 07:35, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
The additions about Markus Persson's support of conspiracy theories was removed citing the lack of secondary coverage. However, one of the items had 2 citations and both items linked directly to Persson's statements on Twitter. This wasn't a claim someone just made about him but Persson himself expressing own opinion. It is my position that this was removed in error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pickle.monger ( talk • contribs) 17:42, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Got your message, but thought to message you directly. As I posted on the talk page, I thought to justify some of my FFXIV editing by showing Ibberd not to be a bit character as Axem Titanium referenced him due to how he progress the storyline as a "Knight of Cerebus"-type of villain. The first being the infamous "regicide" in 2.5 where Ibberd chopped off Raubhan's arm and turned the Crystal Braves on the Scions, starting at 1:35:22, then acting against Lolorito in 3.0 to execute Raubhan as a "traitor" to their nation, and finally Iberd unmasked as the Griffon before committing suicide while using the aether in Nidhogg's Eyes (which the Ascian got in the 3.3 epilogue) and his subordinates' dying prayers to create Shinryu in the first half of 3.5. 2603:9000:7D0A:8C00:934:7319:9A57:C47D ( talk) 22:25, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey there. I saw that you've been working a little bit on Ridley (Metroid) along with 999999 other things as always. I saw that you had reverted some blatant fancruft including links to wikia. Sadly this kind of topic needs a bridge between an encyclopedia and a fansite. :-/ I personally would like to officially link directly to wikia (whether as a citation or some other template) and I want to agree with the other editor's edit message in response to you, as a way to offload fandom. It sounds like he was intending wikia as a soft source in lieu of WP:RS. But there isn't one official way to offload fandom at wikipedia other than to delete it, and the wikia administration is kinda problematic and I hear that site has lost many of its wikis due to its admin behavior. Are we not allowed to put wikia in External links? It seems like there should be a template for that, like there is for findagrave and twitter lol. But anyway that's my semi-blubbering opinion. Luckily, Ridley has a fair amount of RS. Anyway I thought you might want to be aware in case of fandom resurgence, and might want to check that I didn't delete a WP:RS or such. No offense since you're so busy but I am honestly surprised that you put up with such extreme fandom in this particular article, and I just got Nintendonix banned for all the endless garbage WP:OR. I've never seen anyone else NOT ONLY mention WatchMojo over and over in countless articles but ALSO just not even bother to actually cite the dreck among all the carefully wikicoded WP:OR about it! — Smuckola (talk) 04:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
Why did you revert my edit on the Grey Matter Interactive article? Go to Moby Games, type in the games (Spider-Man 2000, True Crime: Streets of LA), click on Credits and choose Windows/PC to see who developed the ports. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westcoast1978 ( talk • contribs) 22:34, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
