Bot which informs creator of an AFDYou wrote at AFD last year:
I noticed the above comments on WP:AFD, do you know any tech savy editors who would be able to create a bot which contacts the creator of an article when it is put up for Afd? Thanks. Ikip (talk) 08:11, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
NOTPLOTThanks, Just fixing it isn't my ideal solution, nor do I think that it's the best thing to do considering the results of the RfC. But I thought I'd give it a shot. Feel free to try something yourself, I'm going to have a hard time arguing for something I think is the wrong thing, even if it's the better thing. But argue I will...

discussionsyeah, I'm finishing up with school this week, and I'm going to try and finish the bleepin' review of Grand Theft Auto clone next... and then I'm gonna be watching Star Trek... but I'll see where I am next week :) --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 23:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC) I suspect I can insert myself in this section... Finals period is a week and a half; naturally, I have to wait the whole week and a half, because of a final on next Wednesday. I can't say I'll be super available after, as [first] summer term starts the week after, but not having to worry about finals should increase availability. :) --Izno (talk) 00:10, 5 May 2009 (UTC) I just want to say our finals were last week.

Neverwinter Nights 2The Good Article review for Neverwinter Nights 2 has begun! There is some work to do, but overall it looks like we're in good shape. BOZ (talk) 19:22, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
AfD thingySince I'm done with finals and pretty much slumming 'till I can find a job, what was that AfD thing you wanted us to do? --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 19:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC) ARSmoved from user talk ikip: ikip, I just want to chime in here and say we need to be able to discuss this without accusing each other of bad faith. If we can't do that, there's no point on continuing our discussion, and we may as well invite a group of independent editors to deal with it. I can understand why you might assume bad faith from AMiB. I don't understand how you can do it from me, and continue to push comments about me and WP:FICT that are both incorrect and irrelevant. If you don't think that I would make the same criticisms should a deletionist contact hundreds of other deletionists to join some Wikipedia space and subsequently link to various policy discussions, then you don't know me very well, and you're assuming bad faith. I know it's hard to have a discussion about your behavior and not take it personally. I hope that you can look at the number of times I've tried to disagree with you in a way that's constructive and helpful. But the only other thing I can point out is that I'm not looking for a punishment, because I don't think you've done anything with malice, bad faith, or even awareness of the full consequences. I just want the problematic recruitment and discussion-linking to stop, and my hope is that some neutral party will help you to understand why you should do it voluntarily. I think we're going to have to get outside input on this issue anyway. But if we inevitably do, I'd rather it were at a forum where we were talking about the appropriate use of ARS, and not at a forum where we have to start discussing personal attacks and assumptions of bad faith. That part is really up to you. Randomran (talk) 18:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
ArchiveHi. I noticed that your page has finally been archived. Would you mind if I applied {{talkarchivehist}}, which adds historical and diff links? Flatscan (talk) 04:38, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
AfD businessI'll try and do some of this tomorrow, but we should look to standardize the headers for each month. that way I can get a script written to tell us how many of XYZ category VG articles were kept/deleted/no consensus per month. For some months we can get month to month data (though I don't imagine there is a seasonal variation to it. I have some other ideas once we get that out of the way. Protonk (talk) 04:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
PlotFair points. Well, the page is protected, which'll probably help. Gives some time for consensus to emerge. I'm not sure I like it being in WP:NOT still, but if we start by defining it not as "not plot summaries" but something more specific, then at least the major problems get dealt with, and by cutting back to the minimum, we can at least get something to move forwards from. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 21:27, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Are you (or anyone else who is working on that article) planning to make the corrections that I noted at the GAN? Per convention, I normally give seven days for those to make the necessary corrections, otherwise I cannot pass. It's getting to about seven days with no improvement on verifiability (the fair-use rationales are a rather easy fix and am not worried about that as much). Thank you, MuZemike 21:32, 13 May 2009 (UTC) StandardizingI've started merging/renaming section headings. I think that at first we will lose some specificity and gain some workable comparisons--if we only have 1-2 articles per month in a category it is hard to make claims with any degree of confidence. If you think I'm messing some stuff up feel free to send me a note to stop or to reconfigure section headings. Down the road we can break out larger categories and see whether or not there are any patterns to very specific types of articles. My suspicion is that there are not, but we shall see. Protonk (talk) 04:33, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Hobit (talk) 14:42, 22 May 2009 (UTC) Hopefully, I'll get to making my full GA review of the article after this weekend. I'm trying to go on a wikibreak over the extended weekend, so I'm not going to be fully active. I did not forget, however, about this GAN. MuZemike 16:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Mediation at WP:FICTI'm suggesting we ask for mediation to help build teh guidance at Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). What I propose is that a mediator be the only person to edit the project page itself and be the one to guide discussion and discern consensus. I've proposed it at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Mediation. As a past participant in the lengthy debates, I'd appreciate your input and hopefully your agreement. Hiding T 10:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC) third-party sourcesI really like the essay Wikipedia:Third-party sources, which you seem to be the main contributor to. I want to thank you for your work in creating this page! I actually had been looking for a similar essay/guideline and was surprised that it wasn't more well-developed, I only found the page today. I added a new section, outlining the treatment of non-independent sources, based on issues I have seen come up frequently, both in AfD's and on highly controversial topics. I would be grateful for any feedback you could give on these contributions. I hope this page can attract more attention and perhaps move towards eventually developing consensus and becoming a guideline or policy. There are a lot of detailed guidelines on notability, but I feel that there is a lack of discussion of what exactly constitutes an independent third-party source, and I see a lot of wrestling with this in AfD's and disputed topics. I think a page like this could really help. Cazort (talk) 15:44, 20 June 2009 (UTC) The WPVG Newsletter (Q2 2009)The WikiProject Video Games Newsletter Project At a Glance

Happy Bastille Day!Dear fellow Wikipedian, on behalf of the Kindness campaign, I just want to wish you a Happy Bastille Day, whether you are French, Republican or not! :) Happy Editing! Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 23:26, 14 July 2009 (UTC) Your POV please?I know you're involved in editing the GTA series pages, so I thought I'd let you know that I flagged the Compilation packs article for deletion. I think it's pretty obvious that the article needs to be deleted, but ould you express your opinion here? VG Editor (talk) 08:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC) Survival Horror References?Hi Randomran, just wanted to thank you for your work on the survival horror article and ask you a question. The article is pretty nice now; I stopped editing wikipedia sometime last year and it's really improved since then. My question was about some of the edits you made on the 16th and 17th of April to that article. That looks like where most of your clean-up occurred. I noticed that you removed a number of references, though, and replaced them with others, mostly from news sources. Specifically, I was surprised to see a couple of sites that contain some serious in-depth research on the topic in question replaced with articles that glean over the topic but don't go into detail. I didn't see any relevant commentary about this in your edit comments or in the discussion page, so I thought I'd ask: what was the problem with some of the external references that were removed? Thanks! --waka (talk) 13:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I know this happens but, as you are probably aware, it's ilegal. I actually considered sending an article that Dr. Alexander Kaufman wrote with the taskforce and it dawned on me, under the terms of JStor that I couldn't. I think Wikipedia has to be very careful about abridging the terms and conditions of journal use or it will end up finding itself in more legal trouble.

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articlesI noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire. I intend to revise those articles following the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles. Thank you.

While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy. The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Final Fantasy gameplay until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion. You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

–MuZemike 14:27, 7 July 2011 (UTC) Hi there. I notice that you were involved in this article's peer review and was wondering whether you could help me with it again. I have recently given it a bit of a re-write, trying to stick to the guidance provided at VGPR of broadening the audience and so forth, but would be very grateful if you could read over the article and tell me whether I have actually achieved these aims (after all, after reading over one's own work too many times, one can get somewhat lost in it and require the assistance of a fresh pair of eyes). I am conscious that I have not yet addressed the reliable sourcing issue—I am working on it—but for the time being, could you just have a look at the article prose and tell me whether any of it needs to be cut etc.? Because, after all, why bother accurately referencing a sentence that will just get cut at GAN anyway? Thanks in advance. It Is Me Here t / c 17:01, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
