Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 09:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC) GTA San AndreasRegarding your note on revision history, I am not adding anything new I added back what was removed without consensus, it is the one who removed the info without consensus that should ask for consensus, I merely added back info that was there even few days ago and had stayed for a long time, things about vehicles and all, but yeah selectively choose me to seek consensus, when I reverted it to OG state not added new info, as per rules the one who had removed long time established info should go consensus, anyway good day. Dilbaggg (talk) 03:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC) Appreciation and point of constructive feedbackSoetermans, I want to say that I greatly appreciate your numerous and lengthy history of contributions to the wikipedia community. Although I have used wikipedia for 20 years, I had never created a username and I had only begun editing articles 18 months ago. I am writing to let you know of my experience with the process of communication as a mature person, but also a novice to wikipedia. On January 18th and 19th, I made a series of edits to the plot synopsis for the movie cast away. Initially I made a large edit that included stylistic changes to improve clarity, deletions to remove unnecessary text, additions to crucial elements of the plot, and factual corrections for accuracy. You reverted that almost instantly. So I changed strategies to make series of smaller edits. After reverting several of those as well. I made a "salty" edit summary "No one should care about Bettina Peterson's name. It's inconsequential." You then reverted that as well. The rationale given to reverting my edits was that they were not improvements or were unnecessary. You then sent a message to my IPs talk page. In the immediate aftermath of your reversions of what I considered to be generally thought-out, reasoned, and documented edits, I interpreted your message as discourteous and borderline rude. I was earnestly upset. But, upon reflection clearly your message was boilerplate used because of your workload to the community. (Thank you again). And it seems like you have several versions depending on the nature of the situation. Anyway, at the end of your message about my edits not being constructive, you wrote "If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page." As your page is semi-protected due to past vandalism, any user that wishes to reply to your message must make a username, make 10 edits, and wait four days (actually 96 hours). Although likely an important step to limit the number of random IP talk pages that you might need to monitor, when I was denied the ability to respond, I was not sure if your direction for me to post to your talk page was an intentional slight meant to indicate that my involvement and edits didn't matter. Although I contend that a jeep is not a truck, and construction of something is different than construction on something, I now feel that corresponding about that communication process is more important than discussing the merits of my proposed edits to cast away's plot synopsis. While its arguably better that I've had two weeks to think about this response, I believe that directing communication to your semi-protected talk page from individuals who edit wikipedia without an account, to be problematic. It disadvantages these new users. As the notification that the user cannot post is immediate on your talk page, it can be interpreted as either passive aggressive or at least a "mixed message." Since users then do not feel that they can talk to you, it incentivizes making additional edits and corresponding through the edit summaries, which is inappropriate and as I understand it undesirable within this community. So I have a suggestion for you. Change the language of your message to, "If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page or reply to this message on your own talk page."

Removal of content on American Truck SimulatorHey there! I noticed you removed a big chunk of content on American Truck Simulator. I do agree that it did rely heavily on primary sources (I agree that the Trucks section was completely unnecessary, maybe not so much the states section but I'm not gunna argue on that), however do you think the map would be of use in the article? I feel it would be helpful to illustrate how much of the US the game currently has rather than a simple "The game is expanded up to the Midwest" which is somewhat vague as the Midwest is made up of multiple different states. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 20:18, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure how I can specify it further, the citation itself says "dozens" within. Is there something from the article I can use to change? Not sure how I can adjust this for you.

Do not revert my (and others) edits on UltrakillI removed the stylization besides the parenthesized note, this is standard (see Doom page). I do not think it is necessary or in good faith to revert the entire paragraph of updated story me and other editors had put. While it was inflated at first, I and others fixed it to be concise and reasonable. This is a video game in early access, it receives updates, this is why the page did not previously contain a section on the final war. I have also noticed that you constantly revert articles often with no real reason, other then when the accounts are newer or because for whatever reason you believe that it was not necessary. You have also stated in a topic that you do not play games, it does not make since for you to arbitrate the necessity of a story you neither know, or care about. If you have complaints about my edits please either make a proper edit, or go to the Ultrakill talk page and ask other editors what they think. Hellaciousphlegm (talk) 17:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I apologize for some of my behavior, it had stemmed from a misunderstanding from a issue on your talk page . Please reply to my talk page with a precise issue that you have. I do not believe the "plot is bloated" I'm not even sure you've played this game? Despite being a self-proclaimed video game philosopher I find it strange you want to remove important information, also I do not want to have a edit war I just want this to be resolved in a way that does not involve reverting the whole page. Hellaciousphlegm (talk) 17:34, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

An apology for edit warringSoetermans, I apologize for the recent edit warring with you and other editors at A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Thank you for calling me out for violating the WP:3RR. Will be more mindful about the guidelines. Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 14:52, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
April 2024You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Atomic Heart. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} .

Xenoblade Article IntroductionI feel like if you think the wording is an issue then you're fully free to change it to something you think is more fitting, obviously I don't know how you think so I'll just be guessing if my prose meets your standards. I personally think however that it's better to have information that is worded slightly awkwardly than information that is demonstrably incorrect and perpetuates misinformation.

No, Soetermans, I am not hounding you. Contrary to what you may think, if you write me a message, I have every right to reply to it - just as I replied to the person who insulted me - and that is all I have done. Every single message I have written over the past few days has been a response. Nothing more and nothing less. You started it, and you are the one who is WP:HOUNDing me, trying to give me orders and refusing to go away. Now, instead of realising that you have no power to tell me what to do - much less enforce it - you're trying to make out that I am doing something wrong, simply by responding to messages you have left for me. I thought an eye for an eye makes everyone blind? If that's so, then why do you keep writing to me, over and over and over, trying to tell me what to do, especially when I have told you that I don't take orders from you? You are ruining my enjoyment of Wikipedia. Your behaviour is highly disruptive to me and I don't appreciate it, so stop harassing me at once. In the mean time, I will add an addendum to my list above: 5. Every time you write me a message - especially when you try to assert some authority which you do not have - I will reply to you, as I have every right to do.
ChangesI really appreciate a lot of your changes! You've added a lot and cut down on some of the info I added that wasn't necessary to begin with. Some of the information I added however, has it's place in rational logic. The one was the comparison I was making to other games. I don't think it's "unfair" for the use of that word is entirely subjective. The use of the subjective narrative comes across as odd because within the first paragraph, in order for new players to the Hitman franchise need to understand what the game is and how it plays. In order to do so, making a comparison to other gamin franchises is an easy way to do so. I'll site the Metriod Wiki for instance. That Wiki used the same comparison model that I used in this circumstance and that Wiki is labeled a "Good Article" and the Hitman one is not. Another instance of trying to replicate what the Metriod article has done is in the form of adding two games under that "Latest Release" table at the beginning. It's important to note that Hitman 3 is actually not the latest release, The Reprisal is. Metriod does something very similar in their table as well. Again, I'd like to thank you for your contributions and effort to help make this page really great. I do a love a lot of your edits and inclusions, but as stated before, two of the edits made on my end, were made in an effort to make Hitman Wiki a "good article" and in doing so, I replicated what another "good article" has done in some aspects. Thanks for your time, and again all your help! BSloth BeachSloth (talk) 11:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Bier?Beer? Child care? Goed zo: daar komt de wereld verder mee! Proost. Drmies (talk) 17:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC) The FinalsHello, I am new to Wikipedia so hopefully I am writing this in the right place. I recently added a controversy section to The Finals page to try and cover the controversial changes to the ranked game mode. If you visit the subreddit or any other social media platform revolving around the game it is a major talking point and in my opinion is a notable controversy. The edits were removed due to me citing discord, however the reason I sourced discord is because it was an official dev post on the official discord server. The devs do not communicate on any other platform as far as I can tell. I checked the subreddit, the finals website, the finals twitter account. This information was only shared on discord. I tried to find articles that reported on this change however I could not find any. I spent about two hours yesterday trying to find credible reporting on this game and there is almost none. All I could find to support my claims were in the official discord server and twitch VODS. if you could give me some guidance I would appreciate it as I believe the edits I tried to make are notable enough to be included in the Wikipedia article. Thank you. KevinFlynn82 (talk) 21:57, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for July 26An automated process has detected that when you recently edited David Thewlis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Wheeler.

I've been trying to make more Mega Man X articles GA in past months but I decided to take a break after X6 became GA. I'm not sure though when I return to them since I'm busy trying to work in Heavenly Delusion currently. If you are interested, feel free to nominate any article you want. It took me also a while to find sources for the protagonist himself, X, in order to pass current demands for notability.Tintor2 (talk) 00:24, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

WikiprojectsI noticed that you had reverted a number of edits by Consistently Heinous WikiProject's to pages back in January. I came across this user recently as well when they picked this activity up again. In reviewing their activity, I noticed your reverts and edit summaries, so wanted to make you aware of the discussion I had with them as well as to let you know that I went through their activity and removed all of the Discrimination project and Death project additions they had made. I had pointed out to them that Discrimination is likely an inactive project so adding it doesn't accomplish anything and that if they're not participating in the project, it's not helpful to just dump articles into any given project. Instead, they should participate actively in the project (something their edit history doesn't indicate they are actually doing) so that they get a handle on article assessment and learn the project's goals first. (That last part was something that they clearly did not understand since they were adding to the Death project that were very clearly outside that project's stated scope.) Just wanted to let you know in case they pick this activity up again. ButlerBlog (talk) 14:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC) Tagging of Draft:A Car's life: Sparky's big AdventureI recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Draft:A Car's life: Sparky's big Adventure. I do not think that Draft:A Car's life: Sparky's big Adventure fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because G4 only applies if the previous deletion was the result of a deletion discussion. In this case, the previous iteration was deleted as an abandoned draft, so I declined the CSD.. If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead, if this was an article, or another process such as MfD or XfD as appropriate. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 13:13, 5 November 2024 (UTC) About a reverted edit to UltrakillHey there, i am a new Wikipedian, so sorry if i get somethings misunderstood in advance. I was just wondering why you reverted my recent edit to Ultrakill, since i added info that seemed to me to be very trivial info. I added some links and did some grammar edits along with some very minor info additions. If there is a reason why, please, let me know. Thanks, Diamond. D1am0nd (talk) 22:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
ArbCom 2024 Elections voter messageHello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add Payday 3 priceI know that a price is not necessary in an article without a 'justified reason' due to WP:PRICES, and the original version of the price section on Payday 3 was not necessary as the price had not been changed. However, the price was permanently reduced on 30 October 2024. Is telling people about the price drop not a justified reason to include it? Ewanb0100 (talk) 13:39, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
Regarding Wuthering Waves's charactersHey there, I'm the person who added the characters for Wuthering Waves. Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact both have their characters listed, with Genshin even having entire articles dedicated to some of their characters (See Zhongli and Furina for examples.) I based my reasoning on said articles, so I'm trying to understand why these games are allowed to have their characters shown, while Wuthering Waves can't. Thank you, and I hope to see your response soon. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 19:35, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
