Given the lack of responses on the peer review for Dawn of Sorrow, would it be a better course simply to send it to WP:FAC? If so, could I simply close the peer review? The wording at WP:PR is confusing, although I believe a nominator can close their peer reviews at will. Thanks, Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 06:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
About possibly a Castlevania task force of WP:VG? Given the example of the Devil May Cry task force ( Wikipedia:Featured topics/Devil May Cry), a focused effort could fix up the Castlevania articles in a similar fashion. There's more than enough information available on SotN, HoD, AoS, and numerous others to make it to FA status. Given, the older games are a significant problem, but the prospect of improving the aforementioned ones to GA or FA status is compelling. Thoughts? Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 05:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I thought I'd mention this one to you, since getting this to GA status would take about 5 minutes tops. The reviewer said he wanted a better intro, and its extremely simple to do as the article is so short, but I need another pair of eyes. Doable? I'm going to copedit the Characters of KH tomorrow :) Judgesurreal777 03:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
According to the featured topic criteria, any three featured articles covering a specific scope can receive the said status. Three articles I have worked on ( List of Naruto chapters, List of Naruto chapters (Part I), and List of Naruto chapters (Part II)), have all been sent to WP:FLC, with the Part I and Part II articles featured and the first one still at WP:FLC. Should the first one pass, should I open a featured topic nomination? They cover the scope that they set themselves to, and I can't see any overlying problems. Given that you were heavily involved in the Kingdom Hearts featured topic, input onto this idea would be appreciated. Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 08:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Your sandbox page looks like a good start. I would really be interested in helping out or even co-heading the project with you, so could you keep me up to date on the progress? Zemalia 05:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:LOTD) 17:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
This is an article I created a few months ago, and its about half complete. Just wanted to show it to you, since its there if you were interested (hint hint) :) Much has already been accomplished with it, but I think stupid people want to split it up unless it gets trimmed and a few more references. -- Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 20:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I have been working on this article for a little while, and I wondered if you think it has a chance of becoming a GA. Any thoughts? The Prince ( talk) 22:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks =) I have a draft for Aria of Sorrow in the works, and I think I can pull of Characters in Castlevania: Sorrow series for an FA run with the information uncovered during the writing of Dawn of Sorrow, in the mold of Characters of Kingdom Hearts. The only annoying thing is that there's no merchandise to speak of, but that should be fine, given that I'm still covering all relevant points of the topic. Regards, Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 02:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Okay. I've fixed the conception and reception sections and replaced all the excess images with a single one for fair use concerns in the above article. All is left is a tad bit more sourcing of the character text, a copy-edit (given I wrote this a long time ago), and I think it can go for FA status. Your thoughts? The relevant models have been Characters of Final Fantasy VIII and Characters of Kingdom Hearts and I feel that the article is as comprehensive as I'm going to get it. Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 01:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I've been debating at FAC nomination for Characters in Castlevania: Sorrow series over the lack of inclusion of more out-of-universe information in the individual character section (when it doesn't really exist), and whether the reception is trivial. Aid would be appreciated. Thanks, Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 09:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Your continuous efforts in editing is amazing. Who knows, you might have motivated me to start editing again. Salutations! — Bl ue 。 08:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC) |
Just thought I'd drop you a line just in case you didn't put the article on your watchlist; I've reformatted the article and replyed on the talk page.-- 十 八 09:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. At WP:GAN, Super Mario Sunshine is being reviewed by an IP address. I think this is quite strange, and I would prefer that the article got reviewed by an established user. What do you think? The Prince 21:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello Guyinblack25; I'm doing the same here as I have on User talk: Clyde Miller—typing a full script of the content in question. I believe that this is the way to go about it although I'm not certain. The content in question may not be as substantial as you anticipated, but something's better than nothing. Okay, here it is:
Author: Steve Jarratt
"Mario in 3D? Can't be done. He's a 2D character in a 2D world. How would it work in three dimensions? How could you control him or see where you were going? What a strange idea...
Excitement was high in 1996 because the N64 had just come out, and this excitement was compunded by the release of Super Mario 64. I still remember key moments, like the first time you explore Peach's castle, or racing penguins down ice slides in Cool, Cool Mountain, or watching as a sunken pirate ship appears through the murk as Mario swims towards the bottom of Jolly Roger Bay.
Super Mario 64 really is masterpiece of game design: the initial promise of so many doors and paintings to discover, plus the ingenious way it crams so much replay into each level (you can re-enter the level multiple times to gather all the Power Stars). Genius, Nintendo had pulled off quite a feat. Not only had it made another gaming epic, but it had taken its numer-one 2D franchise and convert it flawlessly into 3D, retaining the gameplay essence of the Mario series but creating an awe-inspiring, non-linear journey through a solid, fully-realised world. It set the standard for other developers to follow but it would be years before SM64 was matched, let alone bettered.
It's been ages since I visited Peach's castle and in writing this I remember, to my shame, that I have unfinished business – especially with a particularly tricky section in Tiny-Huge Island. So if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get those last few Power Stars... ten years after I started, but better late than never.

I see that you posted on that page. I would really like to actually sort that page out and merge bits with the main article, but the main problem is the fairly obsessive main contributor (unintentional major case of WP:OWN). The article has good information in the creation and reception sections for the actual game, but they have just been piled into that article to provide a false notability. Anything else on the page is either repetitive plot/game guide material or complete original research back by sources that aren't really backing them. I've tried both the project and an AfD in the past, but somehow neither have worked (no consensus, and a lack of response or whatever). If I could just get some help in explaining that an article on the geography of one minor game is mostly undue weight, that would help. TTN 22:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
We're about to rename the article. Would you please see List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars#Requested move and give us your thoughts? Thanks! Taric25 ( talk) 02:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
On getting Characters of Kingdom Hearts to FA status. Such character articles are rarely brought up such a standard, and your effort is worthy of every praise. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 01:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. In the reception section of this article, these sentences include a lot of scores from reviewers: "Game Informer initially rated the game a 9.75,[28] but re-rated it a 9.0 a decade later in their "Retro Review" section.[20] GameSpot called it one of the 15 most influential games of all time,[6] and they rated the Nintendo 64 version a score of 9.4[19] and the Wii Virtual Console version an 8.[29] The Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, known for its harsh scoring, rated Super Mario 64 a 39/40.[6]". Should these be removed? The Prince ( talk) 15:16, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I think the article is looking very good. The only thing I would like to comment on is that it doesn't contain any critisism. It is no big deal, though, and I myself haven't heard of any specific critisism of the game. Other than that, I think it's ready for FA. The Prince ( talk) 13:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could help teach me how to build a Featured Article. I feel like I haven't really ever put one together by myself, and you have made many by now, and I am desirous of getting Ghostbusters (franchise) to featured status. Could you maybe tell me step by step what, in general, you would do? I really am not sure how to approach it. :) Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 23:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I noticed you have a userpage on the Dutch Wikipedia. Are you Dutch too (like me and Krator)? JACO PLANE • 2007-12-14 23:04
Thanks =) Another thanks for nominating me for a triple crown award at User talk:Durova. Feel free to comment at Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Seasons of YuYu Hakusho, another topic I've nominated for featured status. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 19:24, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
I've heavily rewritten the above article and nominated it for GA status. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially copy-editing, as I have an enormous headache right now after finishing that. =/ Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 02:22, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Taric, I was wondering if you could provide me some of the Nintendo magazine references you have. I'll read up on the one linked in the reference section, but if you could provide the text of the others I'd really appreciate it. ( Guyinblack25 talk 18:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC))

Thanks =) There is a slight possibility that I'd pursue the FA for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions next.
