Hello,
I am sending you this message about the PunkBuster page. I noticed that you have removed (two times) the paragraph about the privacy warning that I made / translated from the French Wikipedia's page, also you said "Different Wikis have different policies" ( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/PunkBuster)
I would like you to show me the text indicating the "mismatch" between my text and the English Wikipedia policy. Without that, I'll have to rewrite this paragraph.
I consider it very important and necessary to include the privacy warning, while remaining neutral, of course.
Thank you in advance, respecting your work.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.
About the source, indeed, I had not noticed, I wrote it... But i probably made a formating error.
Here is the link:
http://www.evenbalance.com/troubleticket/
I think it is necessary to talk about the " software licence agreement" of this anti-cheat software, given the importance that this software can do to our computers. Maybe just a simple link to the source about the software licence agreement in this case, clearly and neutrally. I thought it was a good idea, because i the text is difficult to find, even on their official website !
Anyway, so even if we add the source about privacy, will it be removed ? Thank you in advance again. 92.169.224.218 ( talk) 16:55, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed you boldly removed most of the technical specifications... BUT there is a problem, the Technical Specifications link redirects back to the same section on the page and not a different page with the actual technical specifications such as the Audio/Video chips.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.94.49.250 ( talk) 20:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

That wasn't a really valid reason to revert, in my opinion. Encyclopedias should have in-depth content, and the details that I added were perfectly acceptable. Also, please leave a message on my talk page when you feel I've done something "wrong", instead of me uncovering the revert by chance when re-reading the article.

I originally saw Take-Two Interactive on the owners section of Visual Concepts and 2K Play. I was not putting false data. - Thethomster2001
Hey. I see that you see things from my point of view regarding this. That person has been making that same unproductive change for some reason at other articles, including EA Sports UFC 2 and Unravel (video game). If you care and since you appear to agree with me, would you mind backing me up in saying that those charts the IP is adding are worse than the widely used ones? I started a section at Talk:EA Sports UFC 2. If you would rather not get involved (would be a good call as I myself despise these matters), then just ignore this. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 07:37, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
I was trying to use the same release date system as the one on the PlayStation Vita infobox (three main regions, with a note for the rest). This is also not unnecessary detail, but quite the opposite, by listing other regions in that note. I know it is unsourced but those dates were on this page for a long time, and got them again from an old revision. The PS2 articles in other languages, e.g. the Portuguese or Korean, list those dates I put in (e.g. Dec 23, 2003 for China). It must be accurate. -- G&CP ( talk) 14:42, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

On 21 May 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the announcement trailer for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare received over two million dislikes and is the second most disliked video on YouTube? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The entry in List of game engines is a "notable" game engine. If you were to apply your same logic to the rest of the entries on the page, I suggest you remove about half of them as none of these other engines are any more "notable". You are using non-objective, non-quantifiable tests and criteria to basically allow yourself to wantonly remove entries at your whim. Basically, its what you decide it is according to your personal preference. There doesnt seem to be any quantifiable test on what is "notable". Evidence from its own community such as number of message board entries suggests it is likely more heavily used than many of your other entries. In fact, there is quantifiable evidence that Grit is a well established product, from its own source repository one can measure the minimum number of years it has been developed, do a source line count, and there is information and testability of the fact it is a functional product. So we have a baseless, non quantifiable, unscientific criteria being used to delete entries according to the personal bias of the editor. Millueradfa ( talk) 12:56, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I've attempted adding the Atomic Game Engine to the Game Engine List page. The Atomic Game Engine is an MIT licensed engine that runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and WebGL. I understand that we need more notability, though please don't consider sharing valuable technology with the world spam :) If you have advice on how we can improve notability, that would be welcome. In the meantime, I will work on generating an acceptable Wikipedia page for the engine once notability requirements are met, thank you! :)

"How in the world does one unreliable source mean more are ok? Removed the entire section as its unsourced and no source supports it that I can find."
I guess my point was that both playstation2.onlineconsoles.com and ps2onlinegaming.com are in the same "tier of reliability" and that I thought it was the standards for the page that would allow them both, not that they were both unreliable. I just wanted to help put the accurate information in the section. I did not know about this talk page until just now, and I'm glad I do because I wanted to have a page to discuss without repeatedly undoing each others' edits.
I own and use my PS2 online, it is still functional but I am not sure what you would deem an acceptable source of this information. Would a YouTube video proving it be acceptable? Does a certain news article have to cover it? What determines what is acceptable? I am sure there's probably a guideline, but I see pages on wikipedia with varying degrees of references. There are other pages on Wikipedia that reference ps2onlinegaming.com, should those references not exist? What about pages for individual games that currently have explanations for their workarounds? Is that a more acceptable place for this information?
Not intending to be a jerk, just want to get the information out there, and learn about some things on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.204.60 ( talk) 00:13, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Okay I can copy paste us over there then. I have read the articles you have linked. If I understand correctly, the standards for the site seem to be high, and quite a few pages on wikipedia I believe do not follow these guidelines. That being said I'd rather those pages remain as they are, rather than change them all over something like this. Hopefully there is a way to state the truth which is also verifiable within the guidelines of the website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.114.25.254 ( talk) 03:24, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
I apologise for the wrong reference ^^. But the previous figure is without a single reference either so I wanted to correct it. But it seems there's only the same one as later in the article (Part sales), with only 7 million (14 million seems more likely, no? I don't have the game so ...)
Anyway, thank you for your work here and have a nice week-end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Touhara ( talk • contribs) 01:38, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
The article's Critical Response section talks exclusively about the critics response to the movie at both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. I want to include the equally as important if not more important general audience consensus from both of the same sources. I have provided links to the sources which are already cited as good sources. Can you please explain to me why you are censoring my update? It has valuable information and good sources.
Again you claim it's "Vandalism" for not "citing a reliable source." This simply isn't true and you are being unfair and inaccurate.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.197.204 ( talk) 15:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
I don't see any discussion on the topic. Could you kindly direct me to where this discussion is taking place? I feel it is valuable to the reader to see both what the critics consensus is as well as the general audience, especially in a situation where it differentiates so greatly - (Critics in the 2-3 range, general audience in the 8-9 range). Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic are both acceptable sources but it seems disingenuous to show only half of the information from the source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.197.204 ( talk) 15:25, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ferret, that'd be nice if we can discuss about the particulars of your motivations for deleting my contributions on this page. First, I'd like to mention that within my sources, are not only forums but news mags about video games, and I added lemonde article as source as well. Is this sufficient ? or must we change something more, like tame the tone or something.

You left "Undoing changes to lead to restore typical article guidelines for VGs." as the reason for removing my changes, which is not a valid reason. The original article before my edits, was/is inaccurate and I updated it to better reflect the current situation and remove inaccuracies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neutral2006 ( talk • contribs) 15:12, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Editing Grammar and spelling is fine, including outdated and inaccurate content is not. As per the WP:VG/GL Lead section: The name of the game in bold italics, its gameplay genre, release date, platform, and other identifying information go first. Then, a brief summary of the article. Finally, why the game is notable and important; this is the key part of the lead section, because it establishes the main idea that will be carried throughout the article. comment added by Neutral2006 ( talk • contribs) 16:23, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Good evening. I am the boy who has been reverting that deleted content on Talk:Lego Island. I initially felt like it was being blanked for no reason, but I am happy that you put the archiving into effect. Therefore, I no longer plan on restoring the content that I have been restoring for the last couple of months. Thank you.

I see that you've been looking at ways to display links to edit Wikidata from the discussions at Template talk:Video game reviews.
Nikkimaria recently pointed me to the French Wikipedia's use of a small pen icon as the link on each field, so I implemented a version of that in the calls made in Module:WikidataIB. Here's a demo of what it looks like when used in Template:Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox.
I thought you may want to experiment with similar devices, so I'm just drawing your attention to what's possible. The code looks like this:
local icon = " [[File:Blue pencil.svg |frameless |text-top |10px |alt=Edit this on Wikidata |link=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/" .. thisQid .. "?uselang=" .. lang .. "#" .. propertyID .. "|Edit this on Wikidata]]" ... return table.concat(out, ", ") .. icon
There's actually an API call for the url, but I wrote the code before I spotted the call. The caption becomes the tool-tip on a frameless image. Anyway, you'll easily find it all in the module. Cheers -- RexxS ( talk) 14:51, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

to the demo infobox. My opinion is that the functionality outweighs the obnoxiousness. YMMV.I kinda agree with your statement. However, I'm double checking each page in the category to make sure it truly belongs, so thanks for helping with that. Another topic I need to know: there is a certain page that I reverted out of the category a little bit ago: /info/en/?search=Jinn_Foo_(Fictional_Character). It looks made up and doesn't cite any sources. I marked it for deletion based of this fact. However, it was unmarked somehow. I'd like someone else to look at the page to let me know their opinion. Since your one of the more experienced editors on this category, i figured I'd ask you while I'm at it. Thanks again. Dohvahkiin ( talk) 18:03, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Did you even look at the edit before rolling it back? I can assure you the source and number I added is going to be miles more accurate than one from an article posted the day of the games PC release... — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingKapwn ( talk • contribs) 08:35, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Re your email: As Wikidatans, we strive to avoid data duplication. Thryduulf is just making sure that there's no other way to present the data. And also making sure that everyone else knows there's no other way. Incidentally, both of those goals are important.

Your remark that "Multiple editors have removed it due to prior talk page discussions" is not correct. My edits are being deleted with NO prior discussion. They are being deleted simnply because some don't like the content, regardless of it being properly sourced and documented. My contributions are supported by quality reliable sources. Please let me know ASAP if you are supporting the deletion of my edits without discussion. What you are supporting is against Wikipedia policies. Santamoly ( talk) 06:55, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

You undid my edits that said "Pokémon GO is not just an augmented reality game, but also an alternate reality game," saying "Please provide a source. Reading over alternate reality, it doesn't appear Pokemon Go really has any of the hallmarks."
I admit that it is kind of an open question and a grey area, but so is calling it "augmented reality." The problem is, there's an "AR" switch that allows players to turn off their camera, and most players turn this off, for two reasons: battery life, and it makes the game easier. But if you turn off the camera, is it still an "augmented reality" game? No, not really.
There's a bunch of other terms that may apply to Pokémon GO: Transreality gaming, Alternate reality game, Mixed reality
We can't just call it an augmented reality game because the marketing departments of Niantic and Nintendo tell us to call it that.

Hi there,
I'm still new to actually contributing edits on Wikipedia, so forgive my dumb questions.
A couple days ago, I updated basic information for 2K. Items that aren't editorializing or false. You, apparently, reverted my corrections.
The name that the company has gone by for years now is "2K." We stopped calling it "2K Games."
The only other item I updated is that 2K Marin is no longer open as a studio. It hasn't been for years now.
And, yes, I work at 2K. But, again, that shouldn't hold any bearing on the above points.
How do we go about correcting this?
Thanks in advance.

I am fully aware of all three of the Wiki policies and was not in violation of any of them up to date. So far, all I have done is become rather agitated by a certain editor who seems to take a liking to messing around with me. If you read the edits they made to the article i was working on, none of their remarks offered anything to edify me in the way of what they were requesting I do, or why they continually forced their opinion on me. As a matter of fact, I tried to fix the article three times, and all of which were deleted without any explanation as to how they could be fixed despite the existence of several wiki policies that I quoted for her edification. In reality, I made no attacks, but rather advised against further contact with me due to her unhelpful, rather frustrating edits which only waste my time, and make things harder for me. If you are a fair judge, you will see that I have had no desire to fight with anyone, as 331dot and i had no problem working things out when he explained the situation. Therefore, in accordance with wiki policy, i have asked for the opposing editor to back down, as no consensus can ever be reached with someone who expresses no interest in reaching such an end.

It is simply not true that the Xbox One has sold only 10 million consoles, and thats a fact.

Your comment cracked me up. Feel free to use my user page as much as you want for yours, with or without attribution, haha. This does remind me of the time when someone once took my user page and copy/pasted everything directly word for word, even formatting, and made it their user page, only with their user name subbed in. That was bizarre to stumble across, since it wasn't even someone I had interacted with much at that point. But even that I was fine with (once I got over my initial confusion.)

Dear Ferret, as you feel you must revert my entire contribution, do you mind if we seek editorial advice on this matter. As I mention, I don't mind you changing or adding, but you seem to just want to remove anything I add. Russell Russell miles ( talk) 14:12, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Ferret, you also removed the names of non-Canadian actors? Could you advice why you object to even that? The matter is of little importance to me and if you want to article at it so be. Can I ask, have you seen the movie or know who Paul Gross is? Russell miles ( talk) 14:30, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Ferrt, I see you changed the caste entry. Could you advise me why deleted them in the first place? What was your objection to them? I currently recovering from falling of a bike a fractured 8 ribs, and my partner is away. I watch the movie as I like Paul Gross and saw the Wiki entry was light in detail. As the Movie entry is lacking a plot summery, could you add one. I don't wish to bother further and risk offend you. Oh, can I ask how many contributions you deleted today and what draw you to mine on what is a very obsure Canadian movie? Russell miles ( talk) 14:50, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
I find that facinating. I have only made minor contribution a few times before and not encountered such a response. If I understand you thought I was vandalising an article so reverted it without seeing that I had added actors names. And am I correct, that other than the entry truggering an alert for its size, you have no intererst in Canadian film making or knowledge of this particular film. You concern is style, size and nature, not content? Is that correct? Russell miles ( talk) 15:13, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Ferret, I have been very polite so I don't understand your offensive attitude. You actually said you deleted my contribution without reading the actor contributions. You also said you felt it vandalism and had been alerted to it my contribution by a robot. I also don't understand you refusal to listen to what I say. I am assuming you had no knowledge at all of the movie (you evade my question in that regard) and just deleted my contribution in entiety. You have now just copied my original work without attribution. Why did you do this? I don't have any interest in changing things as I find it too petty. What I am interested in is why you have this attitude? So my earlier question is how many such contributions do you delet on a given day? Why do you put so much effort into sonething that almost no one else will read. Eg, the entry under Hyena Road had been left unchange since the film maker entered it when the film was realesed. I was the only person to have read it and bothered to enlarge it. I was probably one of the very few to have read it at all. This does strike me as interesting hobby and I would like to understand your motive. Russell PS what is your first name as I prefer not to use Ferrt Russell1960 ( talk) 20:38, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Dear Ferret, yes, I am having truoble loging in to reply. I seem to have got it right now. You actually did say you deleted my contribution as you see any inclusion of material you feel excessive as vadalism. You also said yiu were alerted by a Wikipidia auto program (a robot) and went to article based on size. I asked how often you do such things. It was a simple question. I'm confident you had no interst in my particular contribution. It does facinate me that soneone wouod go to so much trouble for a topic they have no knowledge on. Personally, I'd not be game to offer an opinion in conversation on something I knew little. You have now posted factual inaccuracies as you simply copy the inaccuracies I added ... I had assume you had no knowledge of the film in question. As you would not answer this question when I ask, I figured that was one way to clarify what you were doing. That is why I encourage you to add a plot. - I darn't say it matter as I suspect next to no one will ever look at this entry and only fans of the movie will puck out your factual error. The error is quite obvious- if not you'll see if you look back over the edit history. I'll be interested in how quick it takes you to make the change. Enjoy your hobby.

Look, it's clear you are misunderstanding my comments, but this is pretty easy. I've tried to explain to you a bit about how recent changes are patrolled. There's no robot involved, it's a list much like the article's history list. I've clearly stated why I initially noticed your edit (A very large addition), but also clearly stated that was NOT why I reverted it. I reverted it based on the content, which I read in full and found to be unsourced, full of personal critiquing and opinion, original research, massive spelling and grammar issues, and several other issues. I then took the time and effort to go to your talk page and write an explanation on why I reverted you, something I would not do if I felt the edit was vandalism (I would leave a warning in that case). Wikipedia has policies and rules about content, which I linked you to on your own talk page. Personal knowledge in a topic is not required in order to make a good judgement call that an edit is not suitable to stay live on Wikipedia.
I have removed the plot section I added in a good faith effort to work with you, since you have claimed you deliberately included inaccuracies at Lugnut's talk page. Please note that now that you've made this statement, the edit can be viewed as vandalism, as you are being deliberately disruptive. And for the record, Lugnut is a different person.
Please do not reply to my talk page again. Use the article's talk page to discuss the article's content. Further replies here on my talk page will simply be reverted without comment.

Hi Ferret, The WP:VG Newsletter would like to do a brief feature on Wikidata this quarter. We're reaching out to you and Izno to see if you would be interested in answering a few (10 of fewer) questions to help editors get a better grasp on the concept. We're running a bit behind schedule currently, so if you're interested then it would be ideal for us to get your responses by Monday the 10th at the latest. Is this something you would be interested in? - Thibbs ( talk) 04:24, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Ferret,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Turbulenz for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Abbottonian ( talk) 18:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
you reversed my correction of Frederick Trumps original last name. Why?
Drumpf was changed to Trump only after arrival in the US, due to anti German sentiments at the time. It is literally impossible that he was born in Germany and with the name Trump.
Additionally, calling him a businessman is misleading. He was first and foremost a procurer. That is a type of businessman, granted, but "businessman" certainly doesn't convey an accurate representation of him. Procurer is much more accurate and an important distinction in evaluating his character.
Please justify the reversal of two completely accurate corrections.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.186.102.211 ( talk) 07:02, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I see that you removed the entry from the table. Shall we reinstate it now that we agree to tag it as situational? I'd rather have it at the Genre-specific section instead of Situational sources, as it will make it clearer that it's a source dedicated to a single theme; we could add the usage caveats at the Notes and limitations column. Diego ( talk) 14:54, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
WP:VG is a very active project, and sources are typically discussed for a week before getting added. You boldly added it, and were reverted asking that the discussion have more time. My response wasn't really an endorsement of the source, just a statement that the About Us was promising and a caveat of "If reliable, ....". If you feel necessary, you could ask on WT:VG for others to check WT:VG/S to try to get more eyes quicker. Discussing the merits of the source on my talk won't move things forward in the end. -- ferret ( talk) 19:38, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
I am sending you this message about the PunkBuster page. I noticed that you have removed (two times) the paragraph about the privacy warning that I made / translated from the French Wikipedia's page, also you said "Different Wikis have different policies" ( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/PunkBuster)
I would like you to show me the text indicating the "mismatch" between my text and the English Wikipedia policy. Without that, I'll have to rewrite this paragraph.
I consider it very important and necessary to include the privacy warning, while remaining neutral, of course.
Thank you in advance, respecting your work.
92.169.224.218 ( talk) 04:04, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
About the source, indeed, I had not noticed, I wrote it... But i probably made a formating error.
Here is the link:
http://www.evenbalance.com/troubleticket/
I think it is necessary to talk about the " software licence agreement" of this anti-cheat software, given the importance that this software can do to our computers. Maybe just a simple link to the source about the software licence agreement in this case, clearly and neutrally. I thought it was a good idea, because i the text is difficult to find, even on their official website !
Anyway, so even if we add the source about privacy, will it be removed ? Thank you in advance again. 92.169.224.218 ( talk) 16:55, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey. I see that you see things from my point of view regarding this. That person has been making that same unproductive change for some reason at other articles, including EA Sports UFC 2 and Unravel (video game). If you care and since you appear to agree with me, would you mind backing me up in saying that those charts the IP is adding are worse than the widely used ones?

I was trying to use the same release date system as the one on the PlayStation Vita infobox (three main regions, with a note for the rest). This is also not unnecessary detail, but quite the opposite, by listing other regions in that note. I know it is unsourced but those dates were on this page for a long time, and got them again from an old revision. The PS2 articles in other languages, e.g. the Portuguese or Korean, list those dates I put in (e.g. Dec 23, 2003 for China). It must be accurate. -- G&CP ( talk) 14:42, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

The entry in List of game engines is a "notable" game engine. If you were to apply your same logic to the rest of the entries on the page, I suggest you remove about half of them as none of these other engines are any more "notable". You are using non-objective, non-quantifiable tests and criteria to basically allow yourself to wantonly remove entries at your whim. Basically, its what you decide it is according to your personal preference. There doesnt seem to be any quantifiable test on what is "notable". Evidence from its own community such as number of message board entries suggests it is likely more heavily used than many of your other entries. In fact, there is quantifiable evidence that Grit is a well established product, from its own source repository one can measure the minimum number of years it has been developed, do a source line count, and there is information and testability of the fact it is a functional product. So we have a baseless, non quantifiable, unscientific criteria being used to delete entries according to the personal bias of the editor. Millueradfa ( talk) 12:56, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

"How in the world does one unreliable source mean more are ok? Removed the entire section as its unsourced and no source supports it that I can find."
I guess my point was that both playstation2.onlineconsoles.com and ps2onlinegaming.com are in the same "tier of reliability" and that I thought it was the standards for the page that would allow them both, not that they were both unreliable. I just wanted to help put the accurate information in the section. I did not know about this talk page until just now, and I'm glad I do because I wanted to have a page to discuss without repeatedly undoing each others' edits.
I own and use my PS2 online, it is still functional but I am not sure what you would deem an acceptable source of this information. Would a YouTube video proving it be acceptable? Does a certain news article have to cover it? What determines what is acceptable? I am sure there's probably a guideline, but I see pages on wikipedia with varying degrees of references. There are other pages on Wikipedia that reference ps2onlinegaming.com, should those references not exist? What about pages for individual games that currently have explanations for their workarounds? Is that a more acceptable place for this information?

Okay I can copy paste us over there then. I have read the articles you have linked. If I understand correctly, the standards for the site seem to be high, and quite a few pages on wikipedia I believe do not follow these guidelines. That being said I'd rather those pages remain as they are, rather than change them all over something like this. Hopefully there is a way to state the truth which is also verifiable within the guidelines of the website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.114.25.254 ( talk) 03:24, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
I apologise for the wrong reference ^^. But the previous figure is without a single reference either so I wanted to correct it. But it seems there's only the same one as later in the article (Part sales), with only 7 million (14 million seems more likely, no? I don't have the game so ...)

The article's Critical Response section talks exclusively about the critics response to the movie at both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. I want to include the equally as important if not more important general audience consensus from both of the same sources. I have provided links to the sources which are already cited as good sources. Can you please explain to me why you are censoring my update? It has valuable information and good sources.
Again you claim it's "Vandalism" for not "citing a reliable source." This simply isn't true and you are being unfair and inaccurate.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.197.204 ( talk) 15:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
I don't see any discussion on the topic. Could you kindly direct me to where this discussion is taking place? I feel it is valuable to the reader to see both what the critics consensus is as well as the general audience, especially in a situation where it differentiates so greatly - (Critics in the 2-3 range, general audience in the 8-9 range). Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic are both acceptable sources but it seems disingenuous to show only half of the information from the source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.197.204 ( talk) 15:25, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

You left "Undoing changes to lead to restore typical article guidelines for VGs." as the reason for removing my changes, which is not a valid reason.

Editing Grammar and spelling is fine, including outdated and inaccurate content is not. As per the WP:VG/GL Lead section: The name of the game in bold italics, its gameplay genre, release date, platform, and other identifying information go first. Then, a brief summary of the article. Finally, why the game is notable and important; this is the key part of the lead section, because it establishes the main idea that will be carried throughout the article. comment added by Neutral2006 ( talk • contribs) 16:23, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

I see that you've been looking at ways to display links to edit Wikidata from the discussions at Template talk:Video game reviews.
Nikkimaria recently pointed me to the French Wikipedia's use of a small pen icon as the link on each field, so I implemented a version of that in the calls made in Module:WikidataIB. Here's a demo of what it looks like when used in Template:Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox.
I thought you may want to experiment with similar devices, so I'm just drawing your attention to what's possible. The code looks like this:
local icon = " [[File:Blue pencil.svg |frameless |text-top |10px |alt=Edit this on Wikidata |link=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/" .. thisQid .. "?uselang=" .. lang .. "#" .. propertyID .. "|Edit this on Wikidata]]" ... return table.concat(out, ", ") .. icon
There's actually an API call for the url, but I wrote the code before I spotted the call. The caption becomes the tool-tip on a frameless image. Anyway, you'll easily find it all in the module. Cheers -- RexxS ( talk) 14:51, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

to the demo infobox. My opinion is that the functionality outweighs the obnoxiousness. YMMV.I kinda agree with your statement. However, I'm double checking each page in the category to make sure it truly belongs, so thanks for helping with that. Another topic I need to know: there is a certain page that I reverted out of the category a little bit ago: /info/en/?search=Jinn_Foo_(Fictional_Character). It looks made up and doesn't cite any sources. I marked it for deletion based of this fact. However, it was unmarked somehow. I'd like someone else to look at the page to let me know their opinion. Since your one of the more experienced editors on this category, i figured I'd ask you while I'm at it. Thanks again. Dohvahkiin ( talk) 18:03, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

You undid my edits that said "Pokémon GO is not just an augmented reality game, but also an alternate reality game," saying "Please provide a source. Reading over alternate reality, it doesn't appear Pokemon Go really has any of the hallmarks."
I admit that it is kind of an open question and a grey area, but so is calling it "augmented reality." The problem is, there's an "AR" switch that allows players to turn off their camera, and most players turn this off, for two reasons: battery life, and it makes the game easier. But if you turn off the camera, is it still an "augmented reality" game? No, not really.
There's a bunch of other terms that may apply to Pokémon GO: Transreality gaming, Alternate reality game, Mixed reality
We can't just call it an augmented reality game because the marketing departments of Niantic and Nintendo tell us to call it that.

Hi there,
I'm still new to actually contributing edits on Wikipedia, so forgive my dumb questions.
A couple days ago, I updated basic information for 2K. Items that aren't editorializing or false. You, apparently, reverted my corrections.
The name that the company has gone by for years now is "2K." We stopped calling it "2K Games."
The only other item I updated is that 2K Marin is no longer open as a studio. It hasn't been for years now.
And, yes, I work at 2K. But, again, that shouldn't hold any bearing on the above points.
How do we go about correcting this?
Thanks in advance.

I am fully aware of all three of the Wiki policies and was not in violation of any of them up to date. So far, all I have done is become rather agitated by a certain editor who seems to take a liking to messing around with me. If you read the edits they made to the article i was working on, none of their remarks offered anything to edify me in the way of what they were requesting I do, or why they continually forced their opinion on me. As a matter of fact, I tried to fix the article three times, and all of which were deleted without any explanation as to how they could be fixed despite the existence of several wiki policies that I quoted for her edification. In reality, I made no attacks, but rather advised against further contact with me due to her unhelpful, rather frustrating edits which only waste my time, and make things harder for me. If you are a fair judge, you will see that I have had no desire to fight with anyone, as 331dot and i had no problem working things out when he explained the situation. Therefore, in accordance with wiki policy, i have asked for the opposing editor to back down, as no consensus can ever be reached with someone who expresses no interest in reaching such an end.

to get this new game engine Xenko, still in beta, but with a website from Silicon Studio (xenko.com) inserted into the List of Game Engines? I'm new to this, but I pretty much copied the style and text of similar entries, and now I honestly do know what I am doing wrong that you say I'm breaking the table. And what does red link mean? I created a ritaturk Talk page today hoping that will help me. Thanks for your help!

Your comment cracked me up. Feel free to use my user page as much as you want for yours, with or without attribution, haha. This does remind me of the time when someone once took my user page and copy/pasted everything directly word for word, even formatting, and made it their user page, only with their user name subbed in. That was bizarre to stumble across, since it wasn't even someone I had interacted with much at that point. But even that I was fine with (once I got over my initial confusion.)

Made a request for ReCore to be peer reviewed. Would love your insight. Cognissonance ( talk) 11:51, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
Dear Ferret, as you feel you must revert my entire contribution, do you mind if we seek editorial advice on this matter. As I mention, I don't mind you changing or adding, but you seem to just want to remove anything I add. Russell Russell miles ( talk) 14:12, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Ferret, you also removed the names of non-Canadian actors? Could you advice why you object to even that? The matter is of little importance to me and if you want to article at it so be. Can I ask, have you seen the movie or know who Paul Gross is? Russell miles ( talk) 14:30, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Ferrt, I see you changed the caste entry. Could you advise me why deleted them in the first place? What was your objection to them? I currently recovering from falling of a bike a fractured 8 ribs, and my partner is away. I watch the movie as I like Paul Gross and saw the Wiki entry was light in detail. As the Movie entry is lacking a plot summery, could you add one. I don't wish to bother further and risk offend you. Oh, can I ask how many contributions you deleted today and what draw you to mine on what is a very obsure Canadian movie? Russell miles ( talk) 14:50, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
I find that facinating. I have only made minor contribution a few times before and not encountered such a response. If I understand you thought I was vandalising an article so reverted it without seeing that I had added actors names. And am I correct, that other than the entry truggering an alert for its size, you have no intererst in Canadian film making or knowledge of this particular film. You concern is style, size and nature, not content? Is that correct? Russell miles ( talk) 15:13, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Ferret, I have been very polite so I don't understand your offensive attitude. You actually said you deleted my contribution without reading the actor contributions. You also said you felt it vandalism and had been alerted to it my contribution by a robot. I also don't understand you refusal to listen to what I say. I am assuming you had no knowledge at all of the movie (you evade my question in that regard) and just deleted my contribution in entiety. You have now just copied my original work without attribution. Why did you do this? I don't have any interest in changing things as I find it too petty. What I am interested in is why you have this attitude? So my earlier question is how many such contributions do you delet on a given day? Why do you put so much effort into sonething that almost no one else will read. Eg, the entry under Hyena Road had been left unchange since the film maker entered it when the film was realesed. I was the only person to have read it and bothered to enlarge it. I was probably one of the very few to have read it at all. This does strike me as interesting hobby and I would like to understand your motive. Russell PS what is your first name as I prefer not to use Ferrt Russell1960 ( talk) 20:38, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Dear Ferret, yes, I am having truoble loging in to reply. I seem to have got it right now. You actually did say you deleted my contribution as you see any inclusion of material you feel excessive as vadalism. You also said yiu were alerted by a Wikipidia auto program (a robot) and went to article based on size. I asked how often you do such things. It was a simple question. I'm confident you had no interst in my particular contribution. It does facinate me that soneone wouod go to so much trouble for a topic they have no knowledge on. Personally, I'd not be game to offer an opinion in conversation on something I knew little. You have now posted factual inaccuracies as you simply copy the inaccuracies I added ... I had assume you had no knowledge of the film in question. As you would not answer this question when I ask, I figured that was one way to clarify what you were doing. That is why I encourage you to add a plot. - I darn't say it matter as I suspect next to no one will ever look at this entry and only fans of the movie will puck out your factual error. The error is quite obvious- if not you'll see if you look back over the edit history. I'll be interested in how quick it takes you to make the change. Enjoy your hobby.

Look, it's clear you are misunderstanding my comments, but this is pretty easy. I've tried to explain to you a bit about how recent changes are patrolled. There's no robot involved, it's a list much like the article's history list. I've clearly stated why I initially noticed your edit (A very large addition), but also clearly stated that was NOT why I reverted it. I reverted it based on the content, which I read in full and found to be unsourced, full of personal critiquing and opinion, original research, massive spelling and grammar issues, and several other issues. I then took the time and effort to go to your talk page and write an explanation on why I reverted you, something I would not do if I felt the edit was vandalism (I would leave a warning in that case). Wikipedia has policies and rules about content, which I linked you to on your own talk page. Personal knowledge in a topic is not required in order to make a good judgement call that an edit is not suitable to stay live on Wikipedia.
I have removed the plot section I added in a good faith effort to work with you, since you have claimed you deliberately included inaccuracies at Lugnut's talk page. Please note that now that you've made this statement, the edit can be viewed as vandalism, as you are being deliberately disruptive. And for the record, Lugnut is a different person.
Please do not reply to my talk page again. Use the article's talk page to discuss the article's content. Further replies here on my talk page will simply be reverted without comment.

Hi Ferret, The WP:VG Newsletter would like to do a brief feature on Wikidata this quarter. We're reaching out to you and Izno to see if you would be interested in answering a few (10 of fewer) questions to help editors get a better grasp on the concept. We're running a bit behind schedule currently, so if you're interested then it would be ideal for us to get your responses by Monday the 10th at the latest. Is this something you would be interested in? - Thibbs ( talk) 04:24, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Ferret,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Turbulenz for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Abbottonian ( talk) 18:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
I'm sorry if you thought I was wrong but I was right. It used to say 2009-2015 but I changed it due to the fact later on in the text it said she joined Glee in late 2008. I made no mistake. Watermelongrape ( talk) 09:53, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ferret, I’ve just been having another look at your entry at WP:ORCP. It may well be time for you to take a serious decision now. Let me know what you think. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:46, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
you reversed my correction of Frederick Trumps original last name. Why?
Drumpf was changed to Trump only after arrival in the US, due to anti German sentiments at the time. It is literally impossible that he was born in Germany and with the name Trump.
Additionally, calling him a businessman is misleading. He was first and foremost a procurer. That is a type of businessman, granted, but "businessman" certainly doesn't convey an accurate representation of him. Procurer is much more accurate and an important distinction in evaluating his character.
Please justify the reversal of two completely accurate corrections.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.186.102.211 ( talk) 07:02, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I see that you removed the entry from the table. Shall we reinstate it now that we agree to tag it as situational? I'd rather have it at the Genre-specific section instead of Situational sources, as it will make it clearer that it's a source dedicated to a single theme; we could add the usage caveats at the Notes and limitations column. Diego ( talk) 14:54, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
WP:VG is a very active project, and sources are typically discussed for a week before getting added. You boldly added it, and were reverted asking that the discussion have more time. My response wasn't really an endorsement of the source, just a statement that the About Us was promising and a caveat of "If reliable, ....". If you feel necessary, you could ask on WT:VG for others to check WT:VG/S to try to get more eyes quicker. Discussing the merits of the source on my talk won't move things forward in the end. -- ferret ( talk) 19:38, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
