Nomination of Hidden races for deletion The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hidden races until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:25, 8 January 2024 (UTC) "Review" linksAgain, it's still not helpful to add external links to "Reviews" for boardgames, especially when those links are to some kind of catalogue entry that just gives a neutral one-sentence description of the game and where to buy it from. That might be a useful source for production information about the game, but it's not a review. A "Reception" section is definitely the right way to approach this. Belbury (talk) 11:10, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
Just noting here long after the fact, that "Reviews" sections can lead to good things: [1]. :) HI BOZ I hope 2024 will be an awesome year for you ! ^_^ Thank you for being on Wikipedia !
Higher Further Faster (talk) 02:21, 9 January 2024 (UTC) Restored pages and moreMy congratulations on some of the pages you restored for Space Phantom and Solarr. As there is a AFD discussion for the fate of the Death-Throws, I ask that you help in transferring the information of it's members that redirect there to their respectful List of Marvel Comics characters pages like you did with the members of the Circus of Crime. As for your comment in the AFD discussion for Hidden races, I agree with your reply to me and that some of the information will have to be transferred to the target page in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE.

VultureCan you add stuff about Earth-65B Vulture (photo only, the pages behind the photo has some info about him) and Earth-42 Vulture (He is only referenced in the movie through his two companies and mentioned indirectly by JJJ)? Vulture (Blackie Drago) is mentioned to be existing in 1610B in ITSV Also Earth-31913 universe's Vulture (Ik that it ain't a concept and just was an idea pitch but eh) Marc Webb-verse also have Vulture Swordjetska (talk) 20:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Great Library of GreyhawkHey there, BOZ!! Just wanted to say "hey"! So, I'm sure you recall, but a few years ago, the Great Library of Greyhawk wiki on Caonfire! went down due to software not being updated, and a massive amount of spam accounts and spam articles. Anyway, a few years ago (2018) the wiki was moved to a new host, and has been growing and flourishing over at Greyhawk Online. So, I thought I would invite you to visit us there, since you used to be pretty active on that wiki. ... we've even exported some of your edits from here on Wikipedia to be on the GLoG! We'd love to have a fan who's as great at writing and editing as you are back as a registered User on our wiki! It'll be great to see you! Take care, and I hope you have a great day! — IcarusATB (talk) 15:13, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Also a glider (Unknown if it is 2099 like Vulture's Arm peice/Multifactor's Jaw or AU like the three Doc Ock tentacles, despite being in the concept art of the lab, ots the only thing not mentioned about). There one more supposed Goblin holding a pumpkin bomb (could also be Hobgoblin but seems like Jesús Alonso Iglesias was the only one who worked on Hobgoblin) Doc Ock appears again in Peter's flashback as tentacles only and later in the flashback there's a photo of him along with Kingpin, Rose, Hammerhead, Mysterio and supposedly Silvermane, can't really tell (Tombstone and Goblin are also there, there are also some other unidentifyable photos) 12 different variants of Doc Ock appear (two as tentacles only) (one being comic book accurat-ish) (10 of them being Otto) appear as prisoners, one being Pirate Doc Ock who is female (Boomernag and Clam are also female in the movie btw) plus Superior Spider-Man (this varant uses tentacles instead of the normal arms). A pic of Lego Doc Ock appears on a newspaper and a hologram of 616 comic Dock Ock appears with the line from No Way Home He also is referenced to member of Sinister Six in Earth-42 (He owns two comapnies- Eight Ock and Oct 8).

Draft categoriesI'm fully aware of that template. The thing is, however, it isn't the same amount of work either way: it takes more time to wrap categories in the template than it does to remove them: removing is just a handful of clicks on the minus signs in HotCat, and thus only takes a few seconds, while wrapping can be more complicated: it requires opening the page, finding the categories (which aren't always in the place they're supposed to be, because sometimes novice editors place them in unconventional places in the article, and sometimes there are even multiple groups of categories in more than one place in the page), and typing the template out by hand. So categories that take just a few seconds to remove can take anywhere up to a full minute to wrap — but the polluted category reports only run once per week, meaning that by the time the report runs there are several hundred categorized drafts to clean up all in one shot. Which in turn means that it's already going to take me a few hours to get through all of them even the quicker way, and would take me days to get all of them cleaned up if I took the longer way. But I don't have a responsibility to dedicate days and days to the task without doing anything else, which means I need to be able to get in and out of each page in the absolute shortest amount of time possible. I mean, sure, if one comes across just one or two categorized drafts, then taking a small amount of extra time to wrap them instead of removing them isn't that big a burden. But when one has to power through hundreds of categorized drafts all at once, the extra time piles up into a much, much longer project than anybody actually has a responsibility to take on. I've asked numerous times in the past for a bot to automatically disable categories on drafts (literally 90 per cent of the job would be eliminated just by a category-disabler bot running through Category:All content moved from mainspace to draftspace a couple times a day), so as to vastly reduce the amount of time that human editors actually have to invest in it — but it still hasn't happened, which means humans still have to do it. So those of us who take on the job have to be allowed to do whatever it takes to minimize the amount of time we actually have to devote to it. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Removing Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter: Interactive Big Game HuntingHowdy, Let's discuss the Rocky Mountain Trophy Hunter article and the adaptation section. My rationale for mentioning the GBC port in the lead part of the article comes from many other articles doing this. See Need for Speed: ProStreet, 50 Cent: Bulletproof, and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. Thus, I believe the adaptation belongs in the lead. As for the expansions, I agree they belong in their own section since that's how other, larger articles do it. Battlefield 2 comes to mind. I am currently attempting to get an article on Xantera off the ground, and find citable reviews for their games. If I can get enough sources for RMTH, I will create a Game Boy Color version subheading, but as it stands, I see no justification to combine its mention with additional content for the PC version.

Speedy deletion nomination of Centaur (Dungeons & Dragons)
A tag has been placed on Centaur (Dungeons & Dragons) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Centaur (Dungeons & Dragons) (2nd nomination). When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. – sgeureka t•c 10:50, 10 July 2024 (UTC) Your submission at Articles for creation: Bruce Harlick has been acceptedCongratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia!

Miner 2049er ThanksThank you for all the extra reviews on Miner 2049er. Not bad for a game I only really tried playing around 2023. :) I have since removed the ones I know we can't really use (Video Game Critic, per Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources). I tried to pull out some more specific quotes as so many reviews just say "what else can be said" or similar terms. Not sure about woodgrainwonderland.com as I know MobyGames uses it for reviews, but it seems very...bloggy? Not sure if it would muster as a reliable source. I'll try to look at the foreign language reviews as well as I find those really interesting, and hope I can pull something from it, but the reception section is already getting huge! Any suggestions would be great, but no pressure as you've already done a ton of work. Thank you again as I've been feeling really out of it for editing wikipedia, gestures like this really help.

Removing August 2024 When adding links to material on external sites, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I see you did the same at e.g. Xenophobe (play-by-mail game).

Dark Champions vs Dark Champions: Heroes of VengeanceI got interested in the Dark Champions: Heroes of Vengeance wiki for some reason. When I started looking at how to improve it, I ran across the separate wiki for Dark Champions (which apparently had two editions, in 1993 and 2004.) In reading the article, I assumed the 1993 edition of Dark Champions was the first in the series, and Heroes of Vengeance (also 1993) was a supplement. But the more I started to dig into it, the more puzzled I became. I can't find any articles for Dark Champions published in 1993, only for the 2004 edition. The only Dark Champions publication I can find that was released in 1993 is Dark Champions: Heroes of Vengeance. So here's what I think is the actual timeline:
I think some of the confusion lies in the fact that several reviewers in 1993 shortened Dark Champions: Heroes of Vengeance to Dark Champions (such as Mark Arsenault in Shadis #9:p.36, or Jean Belcesak in Casus Belli #79:p.17 -- although the illustration beside the Casus Belli article clearly shows the cover for Dark Champions: Heroes of Vengeance.) So if my timeline is correct, both articles need some clean up to differentiate them from each other. Does this make sense to you? Do you have any further info to add to this before I get started?

I thought quite a while before adding the "basic properties" subsection to Dice because of exactly the concern you raised (too detailed; better put elsewhere). I did finally put it in DIce as it seemed the best option. Before I did, I searched for other articles in which to put the section's info, but could find none that quite fit; the closest I found Dice Notation, but that article really was about notation, not properties. In your comments re reverting the entry, you indicate that there is an article where this information would better fit....could you tell me its name? I'd like to check it out! More generally, given your long experience with this area and Wikipedia editing and administration, I'd also much appreciate you advice more generally as to where this information would best be placed on Wikipedia, if at all. The info does seem useful to d20 players (it has been to folks I play with) and I think some folks more generally (those interested in probability theory, for instance). Still, the topic does not seem important enough to warrant its own page...but maybe I'm wrong about that. Or perhaps the info is too esoteric to include in Wikipedia at all? Of maybe there should be a more general discussion of this issue in some appropriate forum (e.g., a page's Talk page)? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

So the first is about the new DMG. I can't help but notice that there's no information on it, yet. Which is ... surprising, to say the least. With the millions of Users on Wikipedia, I would've thought there'd be a whole bunch, honestly. But, the only thing is a small infobox. Is there a policy I don't know about regarding not publishing info 'til it's available in print to the general public, and the preview and digital copies already available on DnDBeyond don't count? The second is if maybe you could help me understand how reception and reviews are listed. On 26 September 2024, Oknazevad (who, granted, edits a lot so in theory knows, unless they're just being a jerk) removed all of the "Further reading" and a list of places reviews of the various DMGs could be found. All of them. (link to compare deletions in History) Like, didn't move them to a single section together, or reformat them properly(?), or note that they're not correctly formatted, or whatever. Just deleted all the content entirely. ... this seems to go against Good Faith, and doesn't seem to follow general Wikipedia policy ... and I feel like there's something I'm missing. Can you help me understand what was wrong with the citations and Further reading? —IcarusATB (talk) 13:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Since my name was invoked, I just wanted to drop in and say that removing those "Reviews" sections that do nothing but list magazines and issue numbers that contained reviews is actually Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia is not an index, and if a review isn't actually being used as a reference, it does not belong in the article text. It's fine to list them on the talk page or in a hidden comment as a suggestion for future use, but not in the article itself. Also, we don't need to mention every review something got in the reception section, especially if it's a fairly routine capsule review of a few paragraphs in a magazine that does dozens of them a month, as was common historically. oknazevad (talk) 10:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC) ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message Hello!

Recognition at work on "BG: DAII" articleHi, I want to tell you that I am glad that you saw my work on BG: DAII which I made it yesterday. I thought to contact you earlier, but I was busy. I was also the one behind BG: DA last year in November. On both cases, my aim was to reorganise and rewrite the articles as possible. I tried to make it as fair and constructive as possible while also avoiding mistakes as much I could. Some of the things include reducing the quotes, especially in Reception section while maintaining the same meaning that various reviewers wrote, and also to keep text flowing and simple in all sections as possible and not too much cluttering. I am not the only one who does this - there are some others who are doing it in the same way. This is seen in some, if not all, franchises, and some individual games, especially in some modern indie games. I know one user who is doing it in the same way. For others I don't know who they are, but I am sure there are others like that. Sometimes I do well on some examples, in some not, but I do my best. Probably you can understand this what I am saying. Also, thank you for small fix that you gave, I did not notice it earlier. 141.136.161.212 (talk) 17:13, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
