editThank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to The Godfather does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Darkwarriorblake (talk) 17:26, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:36, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Editing The Godfather without an explanation
editThank you for your recent contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your edit to any article, please provide an edit summary. So far you have not done so, for example, during your editing The Godfather (film). You made 187 uninterrupted revisions within the period, 10:42 hrs. (GMT) April 1 – 17:13 hrs. (GMT) April 2, without an explanation of the reasons for your changes.
Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit, and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism.
It is also helpful to other users reading the edit history of the page.
With kind regards, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 09:33, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for responding. Having examined many of your revisions, I had never imagined that your editing was anything other than well-intended. Well done! Kind regards, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 15:05, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
I hope that you will take a moment and come to the talk page and join the discussion, here, about your recent edits. I want to be clear that I do not feel you have done anything substantively wrong, it is simply that a very large number of edits, in a relatively short amount of time, especially in the absence of edit summaries, is puzzling to other editors, and it is difficult to discern the reasoning behind the changes you have made. We would like you to take the opportunity to provide that explanation, please. Thanks! ---RepublicanJacobiteTheFortyFive 14:26, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

editThanks for your work on The Godfather. My edits there are not meant to disrespect your contribution in any way. Your ideas are fine.

Baccano!
editI've noticed that you've nominated Baccano! for GA. Makes me a bit jealous as there haven't been many editors other than me (though I've ignored it lately). But then that's my problem (Ack! I'm having OWN problems!) and it's not your fault I was too lazy to nominate it myself. You're welcome to it. Anywho, I think the reception section it still a bit short, even for a GA, though there isn't a shortage of reviews on the talk page. And I seem to remember a discuzsion deciding against flagicons in infoboxes. Hope you don't take those first few sentences seriously. Plain text reads harshly. :P ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 19:39, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oh! I'm alright with it. I was afraid you might read it like that. I don't even know why I left the above message to begin with; it doesn't accomplish much, it's silly, and it reads way too grumpy and upset. Don't cancel the nom, and I'm sorry for any problems, concerns, etc. my silliness may have caused. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 15:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Baccano! soundtrack.jpg
editThank you for uploading File:Baccano! soundtrack.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 20:28, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

editYour recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Drmies (talk) 18:25, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Just as a note
editFirst, I really appreciate the work you're doing on the BI article; nearly all you've done to date is fine. I did restore those two paras you removed only because the aspects were heavily sourced. One other comment [1] - most of what you did in this edit is fine - a lot was written before the game was out and thus using developer statements to qualify things about gameplay. However, as a note in the future, there is no reason that the developers or other third-party reactions can't be named in the plot or gameplay sections, if they have made a statement about either that helps to clarify the topic, that's great, as that's more out-of-universe and the better style we want. For example, one part you removed (in an earlier edit) was about the comparisons various journalists made about Columbia, including Levine's quote about the Death Star; that information is not inappropriate to include in the plot section, though arguable it is clunky text for the section and removal can be seen as appropriate. But just as a caution that plot and gameplay don't have to be as "pure" from development information, if it flows right and explains things better. --MASEM (t) 14:34, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- As another note: this edit, while rewriting the prose is good, I'm a bit concerned about using the manual for everything, particularly when we can use third party sourcing for the same; personally I'd use the latter but I can understand using the primary source in other cases. I've opened the question at WT:VG#Manual vs third-party sources for gameplay sections, only as we don't have good advice in this area in general for video games. --MASEM (t) 16:38, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Irrational edit
editHi Wrath X,
I don't mind shortening Irrational Games to Irrational (or BioShock Infinite to Infinite for that matter), but the reason why I changed the wording because of the following: the sentence is "Irrational and creative director Ken Levine...", which means to say Ken Levine is both director of Irrational Games and creative director at Irrational Games, right? But Irrational Games is only mentioned once before that in the lead and separately in the infobox, and since the sentence starts off with the word "Irrational" directly followed by "and creative director" it might not be immediately clear for the average reader that Irrational Games is meant, and not the adjective irrational. Same goes for the subject of this new section: you could see it as an "edit that is irrational" or an "editing of/at Irrational". I'm not saying that the previous revision was better somehow, but it could be interpreted differently. --Soetermans. T / C 12:44, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
- I understand what you're saying, and good point. I'll rename it to "Irrational Games". --- Wrath X ( talk ) 15:00, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, I'm glad I could make you see my point. English isn't my mother tongue, and even though I consider myself to be very proficient in the language, it can be quite hard to explain stuff like that. I've pinged you on the Infinite talk page for another talk. Thanks, and happy editing. --Soetermans. T / C 15:15, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

The Dark Knight/The Dark Knight Rises Country of Origin
editThe American Film Institute does not credit the United Kingdom as the country of origin for either The Dark Knight or The Dark Knight Rises so this is why the AFI citation was placed. The American Film Institute only cites Great Britain as the country of origin in Batman Begins; this was because Syncopy Inc. had a larger role in that film than in either The Dark Knight or The Dark Knight Rises. I'm inclined to side with the American Film Institute because these films are the intellectual property of an American film studio (Warner Bros.) and were produced by an American production company (Legendary Pictures). Syncopy Inc. was cited as a production addition namely due to the fact that it Christopher Nolan's company, but to warrant a country of origin for solely Syncopy Inc. is not wise. Einsteinbomb (talk) 06:51, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- Read this. Wrath X (talk) 7:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- The American Film Institute is not only the most prestigious, but also the most reputable source for film information; with that said, I'm going to take their word for it. Einsteinbomb (talk) 07:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- Where are your sources that the "American Film Institute is not only the most prestigious, but also the most reputable source for film information"? Wikipedia's Template:Infobox film explicitly uses the Lumiere project database to define country of production, stating that "defining the nationality of a film is a complex task." At no point does it mention the American Film Institute as the ultimate single source for film information. Other sources such as the British Film Institute and Lumiere itself must be taken in to account. Out. Wrath X 7:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- All major film schools are associated with the American Film Institute and this in its itself created the reputation it currently has. Furthermore, this was an American production done by Legendary Pictures which was the primary production company on the set. Einsteinbomb (talk) 17:04, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- Did you work on the film? How do you know which company was on set? The film credits state "Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Syncopy Production". The film is explicitly stated to be "a Syncopy Production". Also, two of the film's three producers are Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan, both of whom are the heads of Syncopy. That means something.
- Did you even read Template:Infobox film? It exists for a reason. Regardless of what you and I think, Template:Infobox film states "defining the nationality of a film is a complex task. There are no widely accepted international or even European definitions of the criteria to be used to determine the country of origin of a film." Consequently "preference is given to reliable databases like BFI, AFI, or Variety." It doesn't matter if YOU think the American Film Institute is the most important source, because Wikipedia doesn't. Template:Infobox film treats the AFI on equal standing as other sources, such as the British Film Institute. Wrath X 17:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- Warner Bros. is the distributor of the film (owns the intellectual property) but Legendary Pictures was the main production company of the film along with DC Comics. This is why it's introduced that way, friend. Syncopy Inc. was involved as well but mainly as a producer credit towards Christopher Nolan, Legendary Pictures was the main production arm of the film. Look up Legendary Pictures and you'll see it was this production company that brought The Dark Knight to Chicago and set up everything with regards to the production of the film, this truly is quite easy as any search would suffice. Nobody is removing any sort of citation for the British Film Institute so your point is moot. Einsteinbomb (talk) 18:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- My main issue is that the AFI link states the films to be only American, while the BFI states them to both an American and British production. That's why I'd rather use the latter link. And of course, avoid redundant links. Moreover, my point would be moot if you weren't removing the United Kingdom entry and its accompanying BFI link in the Man of Steel article. Our discussion concerns both The Dark Knight films and Man of Steel (all of which state "Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Syncopy Production" in their respective credits). Frankly, I'm surprised you haven't removed the United Kingdom entry in The Dark Knight articles seeing as how you keep insisting they are only American productions, but have done so for Man of Steel (maybe because Superman fights for the American way?). Our discussions are getting us nowhere as agreements are only reached through a consensus. Honestly, I'm much more frustrated by the fact that no one but me has responded to the discussion you started more than a week ago. Wrath X 18:59, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- I also hate redundant links but as to why the British Film Institute solely gets citations when this is an American financed and American intellectual property is beyond me. I didn't change The Dark Knight's British Film Institute citation due to the fact that we have contradicting institutions as to where the country of origin is. So, I decided to merely add it in addition to the British Film Institute citation, so both citations describe each country of origin according to both the American and British counterparts. The Man of Steel article had no citation when I came across it and the American Film Institute stated the country of origin was United States, so this is why the article solely has a AFI citation.

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
editWhy do you keep editing the article? It was originally there, keep the category, please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebb1993 (talk • contribs) 16:53, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- "Originally there" is not a valid reason. "Terrorism in fiction" is already covered by its subcategory "Films about terrorism". Adding both is redundant. Moreover, according to Category:Terrorism in fiction, "Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large. It should directly contain very few, if any, articles and should mainly contain subcategories." Wrath X (talk) 17:04, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
It's still a terrorism themed movie. Please leave it in anyway. I have many other movies listed in that same category. You're better off removing all the movies in that category at that rate... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebb1993 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- It's a terrorism themed movie hence it's placed in the Films about terrorism category. Subcategories exist so that the main category isn't bloated. Some works such as video games, tv series, plays, etc. don't have terrorism subcategories so they can be placed in the main category Terrorism in fiction. However, films do have their own subcategory so they should be placed there. Wrath X (talk) 21:04, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Then I suggest you get rid of all the movies in that category and move it into the "films about terrorism" category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebb1993 (talk • contribs) 05:17, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

VG infobox
editHey, could you contribute towards the new infobox discussion we're trying to make the new standard, to avoid this edit warring?
EDIT: If you aren't going to actually contribute to the discussion, then why be so pedantic with the outdated guidelines? I'd like to resolve this soon, and your input on something other than the edit summaries would be appreciated ~ Dissident93 (talk) 06:58, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Primarily because the discussion should be held here: Template talk:Infobox video game, where the focus is the template. Moreover, I don't mind much if the template is changed, but I do want the infoboxes in articles to stick to the template. That is why, until the template itself is changed then the article infoboxes will abide by the current template. -- Wrath X (talk) 07:31, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- I agree, but the discussion wasn't started by me, and the more people we get discussing it, the better. Game articles (including GA/FA ranked ones) have always had some exceptions to the infobox guidelines, even without violating any of the current rules, which I thought my edits fell into. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 07:36, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Also, I do consider your composer listing as somewhat original research. You have to manually go out of your way to see who wrote tracks in the OST as opposed to listing staff as how the game (primary source) objectively lists them. If the game lists Williams first then that's how it should be in the infobox. If The Godfather lists Marlon Brando first in the credits, then that's how it should in the infobox despite him not being the main character. Moreover, I get that you want Kojima listed as producer and writer as he's pretty famous and he's the creator of the franchise. But the game credits him equally with the other three writers, thus all four writers should be treated equally. Besides, Kojima is primarily notable for being the designer and director of the Metal Gear series, and he is already listed as those in the infobox. Honestly, I don't mind if the staff limit can be extended a bit but until that happens the infobox should stick to the current template. It's infuriating; I list more than three writers in an article only to be corrected by someone and then you come along and do the same thing as me and I have to be the one to correct you. Then the edit war ensues. -- Wrath X (talk) 07:43, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Original research is me asking the composers themselves. "Going out of my way" to fact-find violates that? Isn't that what a source is? I get what you mean about the actor credits, but screentime/who's the main character in a film is debatable, number of contributions from the game's officially endorsed soundtrack isn't. The recent consensus agrees that they should be ordered in list of contribution, I mean, the writer field already is. Hondo is even clearly credited as "lead composer" in the game anyway. And of course all four writers should be listed, the "three or less" rule really applies when people try to add every writer in the game, ending up with 10 or something. Not having any listed because it's more than the general guideline is asinine, and fails to improve the article at all. I also don't mean to be rude or hostile, but if Konami properly did their credits, instead of splitting both composers into two seperate sections (one for "music", other for "composition"), this wouldn't even be an issue. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 05:14, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- That was not a consensus, only two people agreed (Mable, PresN); I'm not even sure about Mable since he actually said "order or hierarchy credited makes more sense" with PresN noting that was the opposite of what you said. Anyway, this is a consensus: it's an RFC with editors voicing their opposition or support with a consensus reached. But never mind, for The Phantom Pain I guess I won't mind Ludvig Forssell being listed first in the composer field since he is credited "Lead Composer", and Daniel James being omitted entirely since he isn't even mentioned in the opening credits. But if the credits had explicitly stated "Music by Justin Burnett and Ludvig Forssell" as opposed to "Music by Justin Burnett; Lead Composer Ludvig Forssell" then Burnett should be listed above Forssel per the credits. Do you agree with this? Take The Dark Knight for example; its credits state "Music by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard" therefore Zimmer should be listed before Howard in the infobox. Going to the OST to check if Zimmer really wrote more tracks than Howard would be overdoing it. Another problem with using the OST is that they also contain songs which definitely should not be taken into account in the infobox. Phil Collins made significant contributions to the Tarzan soundtrack but since they were all songs and not the music score then he shouldn't be in the film infobox. OSTs also, I think anyway, can omit certain tracks from the film, game, etc..
- Moreover, the funny thing is that when I first started editing The Phantom Pain's infobox I actually listed all four writers but Soetermans reverted my edit citing the Template:Infobox video game. I didn't oppose since I thought he made a good point. Then you come along and do the same thing I did. I revert your edits, edit war ensues, and then Soetermans takes your side. Lol. Basically, I'm in the wrong regardless of whether I follow or go against the template. This isn't the first time I exceeded the infobox limit and got reverted by editors who cited Template:Infobox video game by the way.
- Anyway, I guess I won't oppose your composer edits in Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain but I still think the composer field in the MGS4 infobox should stay the way it is. According to the ending credits, MGS4 has a total of 11 music writers; all are credited as "music", no one is credited as "Lead Composer" or just "Composer". However the opening credits only list two music writers: Harry Gregson-Williams and Nobuko Toda. Listing 11 composers would be a too much for the infobox so I think only Williams and Toda should be listed per the opening credits. The Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain infoboxes only list the composers appearing in the opening credits so I think this game should do the same. Moreover, MGS4's opening credits explicitly state: "Music - Harry Gregson-Williams - Nobuko Toda"; Williams and Toda are credited equally, with no lead among them, and with Williams credited above Toda so I think that Williams should be listed first in the infobox with Toda second. -- Wrath X (talk) 06:52, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

edit You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

editYour recent editing history at Star Wars: The Force Awakens shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- We are editors, not transcribers. We do not simply write down what's on a film's credits., If there is researc from a reputable and reliable source -- and the American Film Institute is certainly that -- which expands, contradicts or gives firther context to the credits, then we, as editors, are obligated to report that to our readers. THere is no "must", for instanxce, about the billing box. As has been told to you before, when an actor's name is above the title in larger typeface than every other actor that actor is the star of the film. This is how the film business works, and you cannot ignore it or wave it away. The rest of the actors on the poster are co-stars, or featured actors, but the person ABOVE THE TITLE is the star. Period.Now, all this has been explained to you before, and it seems, from looking at your talk page, that you don;t pay attention to what people are saying, simply close your eyes and ears and pretend that you don't hear it. This is the kind of behavior that will get you blocked from editing, and I strongly advise you to stop, now, before you hit a wall of crap. BMK (talk) 02:34, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
You accuse me of not paying attention to people, even though you're the one ignoring consensus and the template rules.

Undiscussed or contested edits to Infoboxes
editPlease be more careful about editing infoboxes. While your edits haven't broken anything, you have been reverted a couple times lately for jumping the gun. Changing templates can put a lot of load on the server, especially widely used ones like infoboxes, and those changes can take a long time to be applied to every article using the template. In particular, at {{Infobox animanga/Video}} you made a change, it was reverted, and you made it again. Per WP:BRD after the first time you were reverted, it should have moved to discussion, rather than doing it a second time. -- ferret (talk) 11:45, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing.

Your edits on A clockwork orange
editHi. You recently made an edit without seeking consensus while suggesting that consensus should be sought. When discovering it had been reached, you again changed it back, again without seeking consensus. So here is the section of the style guide that led to the consensus being reached. Gender identity Shortcut MOS:GENDERID Main biographical article on a person whose gender might be questioned Give precedence to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. When a person's gender self-designation may come as a surprise to readers, explain it without overemphasis on first occurrence in an article. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Avoid confusing constructions (Jane Doe fathered a child) by rewriting (e.g., Jane Doe became a parent). Direct quotations may need to be handled as exceptions (in some cases adjusting the portion used may reduce apparent contradictions, and "[sic]" may be used where necessary). The MoS does not specify when and how to present former names, or whether to use the former or present name first.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:46, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
Also, consensus is best sought on the talk page, not by making edits.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:49, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
"Screenplay" and "writer" infobox fields
editRegarding this edit, the "screenplay" infobox field is used if films divide writing credits between screenplay and story writers. 2001 doesn't have a story writer nor does it officially credit a source material, so the use of writer field is the de facto. Please read Template:Infobox film carefully. Tks, Slightlymad (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:22, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Fallout 4: Far Harbor. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Changing established setups like this which are approved for use in infoboxes needs to stop. The functionality is new so there are of course fewer articles using than not. This is a featured article, that was approved as such while using Wikidata, so that should be all you need to know about it's acceptability. -- ferret (talk) 16:22, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Red Dead Redemption 2 accolades
editHi Wrath X, thank you for your continued help with the Red Dead Redemption 2 articles, particularly with finding the awards that I missed (and fixing up my frequent mistakes). I wanted to seek your opinion about a different format for the Accolades article; rather than trying to imitate the format set by previous lists about video games, I've followed the format more commonly found on film lists, in response to a comment made in the current FLC. You can find an example of the new format in my workspace. If you have any opinions on the matter, I would really value your input. Thanks again. – Rhain ☔ 13:18, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Minor comment about Sekiro
editListing just 3 is not a hard limit by the way. We can list up to five or so if their importance dictates it, although this doesn't change anything in Sekiro's case. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 11:13, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Dissident93: I actually agree that we can list more than 3. I am however more reluctant to do this for sub-leads since they don't lead the overall department and there generally tends to be several of them (potentially bloating the field). Uncharted 4's infobox has 5 people listed as programmers but since they're credited as "lead programmers" I don't mind. Had the various lead artists of Sekiro been "lead artists" then maybe I'd list them. Btw, if 3 isn't a hard limit maybe Template:Infobox video game should be edited to say "Preferably or If possible list no more than three people in this field" or something similar. Just my take though. -- Wrath X (talk) 12:01, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Max Payne 3
editPlease don't use Edit summaries to hold a discussion. You made a change. I reverted it based on a reading of the documentation of Infobox video game.
You should not revert this on "Maybe we should talk to the project then." and link to an offsite source. Wikipedia's guidelines aren't driven by offsite sources, they're driven by .... Wikipedia's guidelines. If you want them changed, you discuss it at the template or project, rather than edit war.
WP:BRD. You made a bold edit. I reverted it, with a guideline (template documentation) backed reason. You should revert yourself and open the wider discussion you desire. -- ferret (talk) 01:54, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Ferret: I understand. You mentioned reading the template documentation, so I had a look at Template:Infobox video game and it does indeed say that "technical director" is synonymous with "lead programmer"; similarly it also says "design director" is a synonym for "lead designer" and of course it also mentions "art director" together with "lead artist". I'm going to add an edit summary in the article citing the template documentation. I hope this is acceptable. -- Wrath X (talk) 06:53, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- I feel you're not listening, especially since I just said not to use edit summaries and dummy edits to hold discussions. Yes, the documentation offers that Technical director is sometimes used instead of lead programmer. It denotes this as a second title to look for, not as the preferred title. The Max Payne 3 credits use both titles however. As the actual Lead Programmers are designated, that title should be preferred. Right now, the actual lead programmers have been removed from the infobox. -- ferret (talk) 15:51, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Ferret: Apologies. I'll start at the beginning to clarify: Many video games (including Max Payne 3) credit the "technical/design/art director" ahead of the "lead programmer/designer/artist"; to me this suggests the former roles take precedence over the latter.
- BUT, as pointed out by you, the "technical/design directors" are mentioned after the "lead programmer/designer" in the template documentation. And you're saying that the infobox is supposed to follow that same order. Personally, I thought that the infobox should list the head staff however they're labelled and that it necessarily didn't have to strictly follow the labels of the documentation. However, you're saying that if I want to dispute this then I should start a discussion in the talk page.
- I have a few questions regarding your position:
- 1. The template documentation actually mentions "art director" before "lead artist" in contrast to "technical/design director" being mentioned after "lead programmer/designer". Is this not inconsistent? Does this mean that we prioritise "art director" over "lead artist" in the infobox?
- 2. Max Payne 3's opening credits have one "lead producer" and 3 "producers". As mentioned previously, I would opt to list the head staff even if their labels didn't strictly follow the documentation so I prioritise the "lead producer". On the other hand you would opt to follow the order in the documentation. For the producer field, the documentation mentions "producer" first and in fact doesn't even mention "lead producer". Does this mean then that you believe that the 3 "producers" in Max Payne 3 ought to be listed above the one "lead producer"?
- Apologies once again if I'm not making much sense as I'm a bit tired.-- Wrath X (talk) 17:58, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- I'm actually on team "We should remove credits from infoboxes unless notable and linkable". To get clarification on the template's instructions, I recommend posting to the template or WP:VG. -- ferret (talk) 18:09, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
