What,NO I would never,not again! 74.178.177.227 ( talk) 15:38, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Serge,
Thank you for contacting me on this issue. While not written in a policy or guideline, there are two standard naming formats for lists of characters depending on type. If the article is list-class, its title should take the form "List of x characters". If the article is article-class, its title should take the form "Characters of x". All of the lists of characters that are featured follow this convention; there are five lists of characters that are Featured Lists ( List of human Sesame Street characters, List of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow characters, List of Uncharted characters, List of Naruto characters, and List of Tokyo Mew Mew characters) and there are two lists of characters that are Featured Articles ( Characters of Carnivàle and Characters of Final Fantasy VIII). I noticed that the Chrono Cross list was declared list-class on its talk page, so I altered the title to match the appropriate naming convention. Are you looking to submit the list for featured list candidacy or featured article candidacy?

Kudos for not taking the bait for a supervote in Q15 on your RFA. Consider that in some cases you might have a greater impact as an editor who !votes in those cases instead of being an admin who waits to close it ... assuming you trust another admin to do the right thing :-) Best of luck.— Bagumba ( talk) 20:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi there Sergecross. As you may have seen, one of my comments in your RfA has proven to be a bit controversial with another editor, and they've based an RfA question on it. It's being discussed both in the "general comments" section of the RfA, and on my talk page, so just be aware of that. You may want to hold off on the question pending the result of these discussions, but how you handle it is ultimately up to you of course. Anyway, best of luck! Swarm X 22:19, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

I am going to jump the gun by three hours and say that there aren't going to be 23 new opposes without any additional supports by then. Congratulations on adminship. Go Phightins ! 23:13, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
In regards to my edit adding 'near-universal' to Skyward Sword, my apologies for not realising such a consensus had been reached.

Hi there,
Sorry about the mass title change. I wasn't aware that there had been any real thought or reasoning put into the titles of the video game articles, and so I thought it would be a fairly minor thing to re-title them.
My reasoning is well-meaning: Most information on any product or other item have a main article describing the thing itself, and as a sub-set of that, the article has a history section. If the history section is particularly large, then the article is split into two: A main article describing the product or other item, and a history article, describing its history. The point is that there is normally only a history article for something in addition to a main article for it, not instead of it.
When looking up the article for "First generation video game console" / "Video game console (first generation)", I noticed that it didn't exist, and instead redirected to a history article. Furthermore, the "history" article contained many sections that didn't describe the history of first generation video game consoles, but rather described features of the consoles, or lists of the various brands of game consoles.
It made logical sense to re-title the articles, and to add a "history" section to them (as half of the information in the article wasn't "history" information). The logical alternative is to simply create another separate article for the non-history-related information, and leave the "history" articles as they are. What do you think? I'd love your advice, as you seem to have a lot to do with video game articles!

Hi. I hope you don't mind, but I have nominated the recent article you created, Off TV Play, for a DYK at Template:Did you know nominations/Off TV Play. -- Odie5533 ( talk) 09:43, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
[ [5]] there,the discussion, anything you wanna add? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.177.48 ( talk) 16:47, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Hey Sergecross73, Congrats on the successful RFA. I see you have came a long way since I last saw you after the Minetest AfD. Anyway, I am wondering if you would be willing to review me at my newly opened Editor review request at Wikipedia:Editor review/John F. Lewis. If you could throw in your opinion and maybe look at my deleted contributions with your administrator abilities that would be great. Regards, John F. Lewis ( talk) 22:39, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Hey, I am really disappointed that you completely reverted my changes on this article without discussion, mentioning this in the comments or openly doing a complete undo. I added valid, correct information, based on hours of on hands experience with the game and I corrected the "look and feel" entry according to the references and my experience with the game itself. It has been plain wrong cited before, stating falsely it "controls" like KitN", while it clearly says "it looks and feels like KitN" in the referenced article. You relisted the article as an orphan, but failed to acknowledge that I have linked it at the Sting Entertainment wiki page. I will undo your changes, please start a discussion before reverting correct entries next time. Feinmotoriker ( talk) 00:23, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
It seem like you changed the Nickelback website and decided to put a genre that they are not. Since the wikipedia of Nickelback has been saying Pop Rock for 2 months now it is easy to forget about that. It did not started like that and it was never pop rock in the mentioned. Nickelback music is not Pop Rock. Pop Rock are artists like Maroon 5 or Avril Lavigne. Nickelback are not included in there. Wikipedia has to be more real source than a false source. Nickelback music is not Pop Rock. Also I am new here on Wikipedia. Thank You.
The Best Selling lists are a joke. You have certifications - even though most countries did not have them in the 1960s, and many didn't have multiple platinum awards til 1980s. "Claimed" sales are cited - but that can be anything in the media or online. Emphasis is on 'consistency' but not 'credibility'. Coachtripfan ( talk) 19:10, 17 December 2012 (UTC) |
On 18 December 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Off TV Play, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Off TV Play feature of the new Wii U does not work for all games, and some developers have chosen not to offer it? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Off TV Play. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I find it rather offensive that you call me IP,but anyway Serge this guy has been blocked before,I would hate to see him get blocked again because of this,you should agree with me,is it not like what you and Salv tried to do to me?. 74.178.177.48 ( talk) 15:36, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Hey Serge. Had another IP, 63.134.188.237 ( talk · contribs), pop up and add in the number of titles to the tables at List of Virtual Console games for Nintendo 3DS (North America). I've undone it since we're still discussing the matter on the talk page. However, I decided to take a look at the geolocation for this IP and the one we've been dealing with on the talk page already, 50.121.115.151 ( talk · contribs). The 50.121 address comes from Terra Haute, Indiana, while the 63.134 address comes from Paris, Illinois ... sounds like not a big deal, until you see that these cities are separated only by a few miles and the Indiana/Illinois border. Also, I've had past dealings with this IP editor on this very page, if you look at their talk page. I believe there is a reasonable chance this editor may be using multiple IPs to try and get their way. -- McDoob AU 93 15:50, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
