Have you left the video games side of Wikipedia for so long that you've forgotten how difficult so many casual Wikipedia writers are?
— Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Video games § Plot concerns
Oof. And as if it were even possible to forget what it's like to maintain a plot section—doomed to expand in perpetuity; the ouroboros of Wikipedia czar 22:11, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi again. Somebody going by the name TA79Bandit has been continuously reverting my edits to Galaga for a few hours now. Somebody added a world record holder table with unreliable sourcing, which I've then removed, only for him to add it back and act hostile towards me and other editors. He continues to lambast me and accuse me of intentionally removing information, and he refuses to respond to any talk page comments I've made. I've pointed him towards WikiProject Video games/Sources to show him which sources are reliable and which aren't, and seems to ignore this. I do not consider myself entirely innocent here, as I myself have likely gone over the 3RR as well (and I completely respect any action taken towards myself if such is the case), but this dude's actions are ridiculous. I fear this could jeopardize the GA nomination for the page, as I've worked really hard to get it to where it's at. Thanks again. Namcokid47 ( talk) 18:01, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
I'm pretty confident Mercury Meltdown is close to GA class, but it does look a little off. Do you see any glaring issues for this article? I personally don't like how I organized the Lead and the Gameplay, but I'm running on vapor. Blue Pumpkin Pie ( talk) 14:01, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi Sergecross. Hope you've been well. I was wondering if, as an admin, you can delete this rather rude edit summary: [1]. I know it might seem a bit pedantic, but I spent a lot of time working on that article and its rather annoying to have some fly-by IP effectively disregard all the effort from myself and others because someone (probably me, I haven't checked) made a couple typos. I don't want to have to look at that every time I check the article's edit history, which is actually relatively frequently as there have been a couple disputes and vandals at the page. If there's a more appropriate place to take requests like this let me know. I haven't really had to deal with anything like this before. Damien Linnane ( talk) 04:03, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
I know the content is in dispute, but while I was researching for a draft WP:LTA page for The abominable Wiki troll, I found that the IP address that re-added the entry back in September 2018 (WHOIS info here, edit here) and an IP address cited in an ANI discussion (" Community ban for User:The abominable Wiki troll"; WHOIS info here) share the same geolocation information - both are assigned to Sky UK broadband, based in the UK. Other IPs coming from there that have edited the page around the same time include 5.64.203.172 ( [2]) and 5.71.120.78 ( [3]).
I feel like it's painfully obvious at this point that the entry was not added in good faith, and that this whole ordeal reeks of WP:POINT. Electric Burst( Electron firings)( Zaps) 22:55, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
Hey, those style errors were in the article when I edited it, wasn't me. Also, can you help me find some reliable sources? I can't find any big publications that reviewed the album, but it deserves to be on this list because it is the worst album I've ever heard and I literally can not find any good opinions on it. Almy ( talk) 02:50, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Can you please remove alternative metal and industrial metal from the "Composition" section? The sources are not reliable. I'm surprised that nobody noticed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.41.61.113 ( talk) 06:46, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
As I said, you seemingly have an idea of what rock is and Lizzo doesn't align with it, so I really doubt your issue is with the wording of that sentence in that source. You specifically picked on that source when the sources for two other genres on the page describe the album as a "mix" or the album as "switching" between genres. By your logic, we should never include genres when the source is using multiple in a "mix", "because if it were a [genre] album it wouldn't be switching or a mix"...but I doubt you checked those.

Hi Serge, re: this note, I don't think this user wants to edit here anymore. [4][ Not sure what their deal is. Maybe they're older, maybe there's something else going on, but they've just demonstrated a lot of general confusion [5] and maybe it's best that they go enjoy life doing other stuff.

Do you have any feelings about this? I think I'm getting lost in the discussion. Talk:The_Good,_the_Bad_&_the_Queen#Requested_move_28_August_2019 Popcornduff ( talk) 00:33, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Had a quick question that perhaps you could help out with or lend some advice. Recently, a "merge" discussion was started at Talk:Gwazi#Proposed merge with Iron Gwazi. Realizing that this was going to need admin assistance and could possibly be seen as controversial, I closed that discussion and opened a formal WP:RM request. 5 other editors already support the move in the closed discussion. Can those responses be inserted into this RM? Perhaps it would close right at the 7-day mark instead of being extended. That's my main concern. Thanks in advance! -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 12:38, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
