Hi, as the person who seems to have done most of the work at the last FAR, you should be aware this article's been nominated to be Today's Featured Article on May 24 by an IP editor. If you have views on the subject, you might want to weigh in at WP:TFA/R. Many thanks.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 00:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I am reviewing your GA nomination and have made some comments at Talk:Space Gun (video game)/GA1. Best wishes, Xtzou ( Talk) 18:42, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Cauldron II: The Pumpkin Strikes Back has been passed as a GA. A very nice article. Good work! Best wishes, Xtzou ( Talk) 19:52, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for references and article. Do I have to worry about article disappearing since it is in a sandbox?
Could you also clean up the header for the discussion page for Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire?
Please respond on my talk page.

Something's been bugging me about the last paragraph of Critical reception...it feels oddly out of place with the rest of the section. The first sentence feels like it should be more at home with the beginning paragraph, but the latter two discussing the changes to the game to reflect her attitude on killing seem like they should be part of a design section regarding personality and development thereof. What do you think?-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 14:39, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Good work for both of you for passing Lara Croft to GA!! It looks pretty good. I'm pretty sure it's becoming one of the best examples to follow when editing VG characters articles. Tintor2 ( talk) 14:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
I have completed the merger of the contents of Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire into Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. I am waiting to convert the source article into a redirect pending comments in Talk:Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri#Merger proposal. I would appreciate if you could let me know there whether it is OK to convert the source article to a redirect. Thanks. Vyeh ( talk) 10:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
I made a few tweaks to improve flow. A few notes:
Hopefully I didn't disarm any British English usage; feel free to revert any of the changes! Nice work on the article, too. I definitely foresee it being an FA in the near future. ZeaLitY [ Talk - Activity ] 06:27, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
I think I fixed all your concerns. Get back to me if you think there's anything additional that needs to be done. Tezero ( talk) 19:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for letting me know about the Space Gun article reaching a GA rating. My editing has tapered off a bit due to other commitments but it is still nice to see that something I put a lot of work into has been rated so highly. Thanks for all your input and work on the article as well. AirRaidPatrol 84 ( talk) 09:35, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Sure, not a problem. Just drop me a line once you've updated the list and I'll get right on working on it. Just an fyi though, the sooner you put up the draft the better-- I start my summer job next Monday, and I work from 12:30-6:30 PM on every weekday. So once it starts, I'll be able to help but not on a regular sort of quick schedule like I've been working recently. Also, it's nice to still see you here, semi-retired and all. :) -- Nomader ( Talk) 22:05, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll try doing that. Tintor2 ( talk) 16:04, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know, I'm continuing to help out with fact checking over at RetroGamer and now moved on to freelancing articles for it. My first is an 8 page Atari 7800 retrospective in the current issue (79)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35ZHVnEeKj4 -- Marty Goldberg ( talk) 20:06, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Thought you'd be best for answering this, tried to explain it to him over at the Crystal Castles article but he wants more concrete answer on why we have to limit the amount of non-free images. He started a discussion here: WikiProject_Video_games/Video_game_images#Number_of_images_policy. -- Marty Goldberg ( talk) 02:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the response for him. He's asking about infobox platform lists now here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Guidance_on_platform_section_of_infobox, so I thought you may want to respond there as well. It seems he's looking to be very active here and is already going around doing lots of changes to articles, so you might consider taking him under your wing. He's asking all the right question, and with the right guidance during his learning period I think he could make a great asset to the project vs. the alternative of him doing sweeping changes and then stepping on people's toes. -- Marty Goldberg ( talk) 20:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi there! I was hoping for some advice on the Baby Pac-Man article. When I came on, this page was simply a re-direct. I decided to start an article from scratch here, as the prior version was barely a stub. I saw that a user had erased the prior article and turned it into a re-direct. I had hoped to avoid this happening again by posting justification for an article on the talk page, and creating at least a proper stub with a couple of references as a starting point. Unfortunately, on the talk page, I'm being challenged for notability, which I thought I had established. I have read the guidelines regarding inherited notability, and understand that anything Pac-Man related isn't necessarily notable - but this is an official Bally-Midway product (though not a Namco one) with some 7000 distributed units, a rare hybrid cabinet (both pinball and video) and with adequate sources for, at least, existence as an article. Am I wasting my time trying to build an article? I figure someone more senior on the project could advise. I certainly don't want to engage in a flame war on the talk page. - superβεεcat 18:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Um, wow Gib. I am shocked that you are asking me this. Its been a year since the first review. But, I'll review it again. Also, are you gonna work on the article again when I do the GAR? GamerPro64 ( talk) 19:10, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
What is his deal?— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙) 06:23, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I was wondering if you could take a look at .hack (video game series) and maybe point out any problems you see. It's at FAC right now, but Jinnai seems to have succeeded in scaring off any other reviewers with his unactionable "Oppose and request speedy close". Thanks for your help, Axem Titanium ( talk) 09:29, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Even though you reformatted the timetable in Dragon Quest, that's not why I am here commenting. I am here to ask you if you can review Dragon Quest's A-class Assessment. If you don't want to do it, I understand. GamerPro64 ( talk) 21:05, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I agree about personality and how it can a tough needle to thread. That said, I've just described what the games relate without the copious repetition and speculation in the other version. That's the version I'd prefer to build on because at least the information is accurate and not repeated. Let's hope something concrete can come out of the VG discussion. Spartancourage ( talk) 04:28, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
I have responded to your assessment. 陣 内 Jinnai 19:03, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Just sent you a bunch of stuff that was actually meant for Sabre, so ignore that (by the way, man, you're still using Hotmail? You must be crazy!) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs( talk) 17:33, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Figure I should drop you a line about this-- it's a proposed change that's currently being discussed at WT:VG to the VG game lists. As I'm not really around enough to discuss the merits of it right now, I figure you might want to take a look at it and comment judging by the amount of work you put into making Template:VGtitle work. Nomader ( Talk) 21:50, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Sorry its taken a while, but I made some corrections based on the comments. I haven't done any major grammar review of the article yet, but did want some comments on the specific items mentioned. 陣 内 Jinnai 20:52, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
