GTA V

I have re-rated GTA V to a B. It's quite good, and should have few problems at GAN and really doesn't need much work for FAC (although I recommend a peer review and an A-class nomination, of course). Good job! — Mr. V (t – c) 06:29, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I've put a lot of work into the article so it's good to know an outside reviewer is pleased with it. Will check over the article for any problems, and then push a GAN. CR4ZE (t) 01:49, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day

Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.

Quality

Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content

Is more content needed?

Headings

Does this article have an appropriate section structure?

Images

Is the number of illustrative images about right?

Links

Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?

Sources

For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

Moving your talk page archive

You probably want your talk page archive moved from:
User talk:CR4ZE/Archive1"
to
User talk:CR4ZE/Archive 1"
Note space between "Archive 1". That is the name format that ClueBot III will use based on your current config. Makyen (talk) 20:33, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

The main reason to do this would be that other tools which you may use in the future may not find that archive page because of relying on the space being there. ClueBot III will have no problem with it.Makyen (talk) 01:31, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Grand Theft Auto V

Dear fellow Wikipedian, I saw that you reverted an edit I did to The article Grand Theft Auto V. I linked a word pretty much primary to the article. It is nowhere written that a word can only be linked once in an article. A word can be linked as many times as appropriate. The only main requirement is that the word must not be linked more than once in the same section. And even that is not an absolute rule. It can also be tweaked if the situation calls for it and this has been done in thousands of articles. You removed it saying that the word has already been linked in another, much farther section of the article. This is a very weak reason, even simple words (though not WP:Overlink) can be linked if they are situated so faraway and the word I linked was one that was primary too the article. Furthermore, the sentence required for it to be done. All other games in the sentence were linked, and it looked inappropriate for only one last word to not be linked. It did not appear good and looked out of place. So i have reverted your revert. Hope you are still happy.

King Of The Wise (talk) 10:46, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

By your logic, then, "Grand Theft Auto IV" should have been wikilinked in its first use in the paragraph, in the sentence about the GameRankings score. You didn't do that, because you felt that you should wikilink later on just because there was a list of other games that were linked which made it look inappropriate without a link. Therefore you must have also thought that for some reason it's fine to have "It is also currently the fifth-highest rated game on Metacritic, tying with multiple other games, and behind only" not linked, but not fine if it's "Grand Theft Auto IV". That is an even weaker reason. We are not creating an avant-garde piece so we don't need splashes of blue in the text just because. I've seen redundant wikilinking brought up in GANs and FACs all the time. We only need to link when there is relevant contextual information provided in the article that has been linked to. "Grand Theft Auto IV" is linked once in Gameplay in a sentence which compares the game's additional vehicle types, but not again because we assume that the reader reads the article sequentially from start to finish and is familiarised with wikilinked terms as we introduce them. CR4ZE (t) 10:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

GTA V

Regarding the revert here, both the WP:OVERLINK issues as well as changes to link, e.g. changing [[Melee#Use in gaming|melee]] to [[Melee phase|melee]], are done by Reflinks. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 14:16, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

@Sam Sailor; So having the link as [[Melee#Use in gaming|melee]] is okay, and your change was just a Reflinks default? And the same for linking publishers in Template:Cite web? In regards to citing publishers in the template, User:Rhain1999 and I agreed that either every publisher is linked every time in the (publisher=) field or that they are linked in the first instance and never again after that. Rhain went with the former. Is that okay? (We have the article at FAC so small things such as this matter). CR4ZE (t) 14:25, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

As for overlinking, if two of those IGN sources are a mile apart in the reflist it seems logical that they are both linked. If there are, say, 50 of them, maybe not. However, if you guys found it appropriate, I'm the last person to waste time on it. But Reflink seems to think differently. Yes, it's the default apparently, no action on my part there. As for the links to redirects, the choices Reflink makes is without question also IMO less valuable than links directly to sub sections. In other words: I understand your motivation for reverting. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 14:34, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Regarding redirects, well, it's maybe a situation where Reflink's choice makes sense in some cases, but not in other cases. Have a read of User talk:Dispenser/Reflinks#Redirecting links to sections. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 15:56, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

In the instances of sub-section wikilinking in Grand Theft Auto V, they make the most sense as they are. If "melee phase" or "continue point" ever split off into their own article, that would require going through 'What links here' to fix the redundant links from other pages, but there is I'm sure a streamlined way of doing so should that ever happen. CR4ZE (t) 04:15, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Threes!

Thanks again for the thorough review. I appreciate your diligence. (And that Yeezus thread was really interesting... but let's promise not to do that.) See you around czar ♔ 01:35, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Also if you have any extra FAC advice for the article, let me know (I'll watch this page) czar ♔ 02:05, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

The debate over Yeezus to me brings up the need to have a wider discussion at a WikiProject (WP:ALBUM/ WP:VG), resulting in the insertion of a new guideline into the project's MoS. In regards to Threes! being sent to FAC, I think the mid-sentence footnotes would come up in addition to the "universal acclaim" use. The prose would need meticulous tightening. Take the following sentence as an example: "The game had no inclination towards minimalism and the pair felt that they needed game mechanics to make the game appear more difficult and worthy of player attention". A mouthful. There's three uses each of the words "the" and "game", which would make the sentence's prose a little unwieldy to read. Consider things like that, and as it's quite a short article, keep reading it aloud to reword sentences to be as succinct as possible.

Feel free, if you're interested, to move along my GAN for GTA V development or GTA V's FAC. Don't forget we have work to do on Saints Row, but like you I'm not rushing to work on that one. CR4ZE (t) 04:34, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Grand Theft Auto V to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon, please nominate it at the requests page; if you'd like to see an FA on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with 1,301 articles in Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be).
You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Bencherlite^Talk 09:09, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I created a user talk page, User_talk:Longshot45/The Amazing Spider-Man universe. If you get a chance check it out then we can make it into an official wiki page. Thanks - Longshot45 (talk) May 8, 2014 5:08

Additional content of GTAV

CR4ZE you do know that all updates in GTA Online are also present in the single-player mode. Why did you remove the section then. Additional content warrants it's own section. It doesn't belong under the "Multiplayer launch" section. KahnJohn27 (talk) 07:59, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

GTA Online PS3 aggregate scores at GameRankings

On GameRankings the aggregate score is based on only 1 review of the GTA Online. I think it should be removed. It isn't a real aggregate. KahnJohn27 (talk) 08:02, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Arkham Knight for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Arkham Knight is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

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. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:52, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Game Informer

Thanks! Is there an official title and author byline on the article, or is it just credited to the magazine? czar ♔ 15:47, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Ah yes. I had the cover saved in another folder for some reason (it's been three years since I've looked at this). I can send through the cover page if you want, although it's just a big screenshot with a short blurb. Title is "EMBRACING THE CRAZY" and words are by Dan Ryckert. Starts on pg 48.

Disambiguation link notification for June 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Infamous Second Son, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sleeping Dogs (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Help

Thanks for the review. I wasn't responsible for a lot in the article, mostly just the front section and images. But no one ever responded to me when I asked them for feedback, so thanks you for that! Also, do you have any tips for writing better and making it focused? URDNEXT (talk) 17:23, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

@URDNEXT: I hope that the major contributors were notified, but otherwise you should have really gone through head-to-tail to make sure everything was up to scratch. You didn't need to close the peer review so soon—in fact a bot closes it down automatically after about a month anyway. What's hard for me to give feedback on is the prose, because there are expectations that I would have that are more in line with FA-quality, which wouldn't necessarily be required for GA. I'd expect the prose to flow a little cleaner than it's doing now. I gave you that optional example in the GA review to steer you where I'm thinking; it truly helps if you read the article aloud. If you find your mouth getting caught around sentences you know they're a problem. Try George Orwell's effective writing principles. Always drop a word from a sentence if it's possible, and use simple language wherever possible ("use" can almost always replace "utilise"). Echoing what I said in the review, you need much more, high-quality sourcing throughout even for GA standard. Basically anything not listed at WP:VG/RS should be taken out (unless you want to put a case up for an individual source at the talk page), and anything that can't be covered by RS's should go. Development left me wanting to know more about how the game was designed, rather than its publisher problems. That information should be kept in, but it only took Google searching for me to find developer interviews and the like that give some good info about the game's design. That to me is a scope (3a) issue. I don't think there's enough research into the critical reviews either. If you wanted to (and I'm not saying the Reception sections I've written are the optimus cognito), take a look at the stuff I've done on Skyrim, GTA V and Second Son, because that's the kind of analysis and length that I think is solid. You can certainly have a shorter Reception section but you need to make sure you get the main points covered by a decent pool of reviews. CR4ZE (t • c) 15:04, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

GA

First of all, things like formatting of references have nothing to do with GA process. Second, both "CVG" and "ComputerAndVideoGames.com" is actually very correct - these are the official names of this website, plus "ComputerAndVideoGames" without ".com" (go and check).

For what and how should be actually reviewed, see Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles ("Perfectly formatted citations are not required." but also other things, read it all with comrehension). --TRIGGERWARNING (talk) 23:15, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Contrary to a (very) popular meme, there's also nothing wrong with using social networking accounts (as long as it's not just random people of course). --TRIGGERWARNING (talk) 23:19, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Cheers for your concern, but I never asked for, and don't require, your help with reviewing Good Article Nominations. As already noted on the review page, the concerns I had with the article go far and beyond the issues you seem to have a problem with me pointing out. If you subtract my out-of-scope comments, that still leaves organisation, sourcing and scope problems large enough to merit the fail. If you have a problem with the review, take it to the WP:GAR, but in the meantime, my verdict on the article has been finalised. CR4ZE (t • c) 00:10, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Niemti/@TRIGGERWARNING:- per your topic ban, you are not allowed to participate in the GA process, and per Wikipedia:Topic ban#Topic ban, that includes talking about GANs. Drop it or get blocked. --PresN 03:15, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Apologies PresN—I didn't realise that this way Niemti. I otherwise wouldn't have responded to the comment. CR4ZE (t • c) 05:38, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Grand Theft Auto V

Hey, man! Do you have any information or sources that give information on how Rockstar designed Michael? I'm working on a draft, but I can't seem to find anything. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! URDNEXT (talk) 20:55, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

@URDNEXT: No, not really, at least not to the same extent as Trevor Philips. It's for that reason that I don't think a page for Michael would meet notability in the same way that Trevor does. Trevor can be singled out because his reception was much more polarising, especially with the torture controversy—that, and Ogg happened to give a lot more interviews than Luke and Fonteno on his character's development. I'd advise that you work at the list article first, and if you can get enough on Michael, propose a split. Rhain1999 and I would eventually like to bring that article to FL, so I'd encourage you to work away at it. I'll be looking at Sleeping Dogs (video game) at some point in the near future. CR4ZE (t • c) 07:09, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

CR4ZE Alright, so can I join you guys on the list thing? I can be really helpful. URDNEXT (talk) 12:25, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Of course. That's the spirit of Wikipedia. CR4ZE (t • c) 13:35, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

I mean lie, in a team way... Like the avengers. I know it sounds like exagerating, but if we could plan our moves and communicate with each other while editing, we could be a hell lot more productive. Think about it. Let's say we take on Gta 5 characters. Then we assign each other to certain sections of the article (as long as its confortable). What do you think? URDNEXT (talk) 14:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Infamous Second Son you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Hi CR4ZE,

I haven't been very active on Wikipedia lately, trying to focus on my studies. I wanted to let you know that I appreciate that you noticed my work on The Last of Us, mentioning me in the GAN discussion. It's not the reason why I edit Wikipedia, but it's always nice to know someone notices your hard work. Hopefully I'll be back editing sooner than later. Kind regards, --Soetermans.

Videoball review

Racking up the requests, I see. If you have a moment, I'd appreciate a short note or review at the Videoball peer review about the article's current state given the available sources (this is to say that it cannot meet the GA criteria for being unreleased, but it can still be included within an Action Button Entertainment good topic because the article is in good condition where it isn't eligible for GA itself—the good topic criteria asks for a peer review). I thought it'd be fast for you since you've already reviewed the article. czar ♔ 15:55, 22 June 2014 (UTC) P.S. I'll be sure to leave some FAC comments for you soon—don't have enough time to function as it is

Quick question

WP:VG's Newsletter department is looking for editors to interview for our upcoming Featured Editor column, and your name has come up in discussions during the last several quarters as a likely candidate. The interview consists of some 15 questions that you can answer however you like and which you can tinker with up until the newsletter is published. You can review previous interview questions here to get a sense of the kinds of questions you would be asked. If you would be willing to answer some questions, please let me know at my talk page. -Thibbs (talk) 13:34, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Lost track of time today and I have to get to sleep now. You can start in on some questions here for now. I'll fill it in a bit more tomorrow. The newsletter is due on Wednesday so hopefully we can get it done by then, but no big deal if it's a day or two late too. -Thibbs (talk) 02:32, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Hey, CRAZE, how's it going! I was wondering if you could help me with Sleeping Dogs (video game) since I really need help with it. Ever since I joined Wiki I have been trying to tackle the article alone but I can't seem to do it by myself wit the amount of experience I have. Is there any way you could help me take it to GA?

AC: And Then There Were None

Hi. I began the copy edit on this article, but began to run into issues that went far beyond c/e. So I went to the FAR discussion... don't you think it might be better to wait until the issues brought up in FAR are addressed, prior to submitting it for c/e? Onel5969 (talk) 22:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

I made the request for a copy-edit because I figured that would be one step towards preventing the article from being delisted. I agree that the issues are deeply-rooted and thought a c/e would help. CR4ZE (t • c) 08:18, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi CR4ZE. I'm quite busy these days and I don't think I will be able to improve the article or even give it a review. Wuzh (talk) 12:16, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

@URDNEXT: I'm in the process of reviewing and hope to have it to you within the next few days.

Copyedit request

Hello! The other editors and myself are gearing up to put Dota 2 up for Featured Article Candidacy, but first we're making sure everything's in order. Tezero specifically recommended that I contact you about copyediting the article before anything else. Would this be of interest to you? DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 02:10, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

I think that was JimmyBlackwing, but yeah, the more the merrier. Tezero (talk) 02:30, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

It was? Damn my peripheral organizational skills! DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 05:09, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Well, this is awkward...Of course, I'm happy to help out. I'll take a look at it in the future. Any potential FA is a win/win for the project. CR4ZE (t • c) 13:56, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Yes, to have one more set of eyes (yours) on the page before it goes through its (hopefully) final peer review, would be fantastic. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 00:42, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Glad to see that DarthBotto took my advice. I hope it's not too inconvenient, CR4ZE: I recommended you as a copyeditor because of your great writing on Development of GTA V. WPVG doesn't have a lot of really talented copyeditors (like Deckiller or TKD of old) anymore, and the GOCE has always been hit-or-miss; it's hard to find people who can bring an article up to 1a caliber. Thanks for accepting the request. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 01:16, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

I have a question about your suggestions on the talk page, CR4ZE. You mention that you would like some elaboration about combat? Could you explain what more you want? I mean, I was using Halo: Combat Evolved as a basis for the rewritten gameplay section, so I hope to keep things pragmatic. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 01:07, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

GTA V

Remember due weight, don't add too much on the latest controversy since we've yet to find out its importance, I think with one pro commentary from Kotaku and one against like IGN it's fine Loganmac (talk) 12:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the concern. Rest assured that I had considered this all in advance—I could've included more commentary from other publications but I knew that would raise an issue of undue WP:WEIGHT. By the same token, we needed to have some discussion from games journalists in order to present an unbiased view. I understand this is a contentious issue already, which makes it difficult to discuss from an objective, encyclopedic standpoint, so I think any editors involved with this article should take it upon themselves to peer review and raise their opinions.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Grand Theft Auto V PS3 PS4 comparison.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Grand Theft Auto V PS3 PS4 comparison.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. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:38, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 17, 2017, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1100 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

Hi CR4ZE.

• This is what the article looked like before I touched it: [1]
• This is the difference between my first edit and my successful GA nomination passing: [2]
• Changes in preparation for FAC. This includes implementing changes recommended at peer review: [3]
• Changes while FAC was open: [4]
• Changes between FAC being closed and renomination: [5]

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything more specific than this. Changed between FAC closing and FAC renomination are not too drastic, however, this is because I had already fixed the majority of concerns raised by both Ealdgyth and SlimVirgin before the nomination was closed (I was working overtime trying to address everything in the hopes it wouldn't be). As I mentioned at the first nomination, SlimVirgin opposed the nomination over several issues that had already been fixed. Her remaining issues included the fact I had assumed good faith and not personally checked offline sources (I now have, it cost me well over $100 I might add, but I can email you scans of every offline source used in the article) a lack of mentioning when costumes appeared (added an entire new paragraph on that) and rewording something she thought was a contradiction (it wasn't). These changes are all view-able in the last diff (I expanded with some of the offline sources once they arrived). If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask. Happy to continue talking here if you like. Freikorp (talk) 00:34, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

@Freikorp: Thanks for that mate, that's a big help. Any chance you could still reach me by email re print sources? Cheers. CR4ZE (t • c) 01:24, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Emailed you. :) Freikorp (talk) 01:31, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

I noticed your comments at the FAC. I would suggest, rather than entering a dispute with another reviewer, to focus solely on WP:WIAFA. While a single oppose (if it came, which it hasn't yet) could prevent the article being promoted (if it was a serious issue such as sourcing or copyvio, or a misrepresentation of sources), when it is a matter of interpretation, articles have been promoted over one or more opposes in the past. It is better just to focus on your own review. Despite what another reviewer may think, I have no opinion one way or another on this article; however, I want any article that is promoted to be the best that it can, and to meet the FA criteria. Sarastro1 (talk) 09:35, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Duly noted. Cheers. CR4ZE (t • c) 11:45, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Hey, if you're still up to do the review you can start the review by clicking on the revised template. After two months waiting for the original reviewer to even answer the pings, despite him being very much active on Wikipedia, keeping him on seemed like a lost cause. (Should have happened sooner, but I was busy moving.) Cognissonance (talk) 17:23, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Cognissonance, you have my deepest apologies for not being able to step in to the review after I said I would. I should've just taken over the review after your ping, but I have been extremely busy and inactive on Wikipedia these past few months, so I just didn't have time to conduct the review. In good news at least, the article passed with flying colours. It's a fantastic read, so great work and congrats. If you're planning to take the article along further and are looking for comments at a peer review/ FAC, please feel free to ping me on board and I'll happily give you some thoughts. Cheers! CR4ZE (t • c) 10:18, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

No hard feelings, man. I hope we'll work together in the future. Cheers :) Cognissonance (talk) 11:10, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Grand Theft Auto V torture sequence.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Grand Theft Auto V torture sequence.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:59, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Jill Valentine

Hi. You commented at Jill Valentine's FAC2, which was a long time ago, so I understand if you don't want to get involved again (or even remember commenting in the first place). But JV's FAC3 was dismissed on the basis that I hadn't contacted previous commentators, so I've gone through all previous FACs and "peer reviews" and tried my best to address any issue which had ever been raised. I'm happy with the article as it is now (in that I believe it meets the featured article criteria), but I'd appreciate any feedback from any previous commentator. Do you think there's something I could improve before renominating? And would you be interested in commenting at FAC4? I'd ideally like to address every issue you may have before renominating, so the FAC can be as uneventful as possible. ;) I'd appreciate any feedback you may have, if you have the time. Cheers.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Grand Theft Auto V combat.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Grand Theft Auto V combat.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

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.

Regarding Four Award nom

Hello CR4Ze, I noticed you withdrew your WP:Four Award nomination of Development of Grand Theft Auto V, stating in the edit summary that it was ineligible because it was promoted to GA before it went through DYK. In fact, Four Award allows this. I've checked the article and it appears that you are Four Award eligible. I'd recommend you re-nominate, unless I'm missing something? Ergo Sum 14:24, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

I came here to post the same thing. It doesn't matter what order you do things in. On a quick check of the four elements it looks straight forward to me. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:57, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

It's in the records list as a current award, not a former one, so I don't think a re-nom is even needed :) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 17:18, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you all for reaching out and sorry for causing confusion; I was confused as well. I originally received the award from TonyTheTiger when the article passed FAC in August 2014 but it was taken away a few weeks later, with the explanation given that DYKs needed to nominated before GA promotions. I forgot about the awards completely, renominated myself for the article, then remembered I had received it many years ago but thought that the reason it was taken away was sill valid. The eligibility rules must've changed since then and that's what caused the mix-up. I also was never notified otherwise that my award was revalidated and didn't know I was already on the Records page. Anyway, thanks again for following up! — CR4ZE (T • C) 23:46, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Warner Bros. Movie World

On 30 October 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Warner Bros. Movie World, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Batman and the Joker parade down the street daily at Warner Bros. Movie World? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Warner Bros. Movie World. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Warner Bros. Movie World), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A barnstar for you!

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar

Good evening CR4ZE! Congrats on getting Warner Bros. Movie World as one of the (if not the first) modern amusement park article as part of WikiProject Amusement Parks (APARKS) to featured article status! I know you've worked hard reorganizing, editing, and researching extensively the article in its entirety. Cheers to your amazing work over the past months to promote the article to its spot! Well deserved! All the best, Adog (Talk・Cont) 03:57, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks so much for this, Adog! Idlewild and Soak Zone technically has the honour of being the first, if we're counting small-scale kids' parks in the mix. Nonetheless, I'm delighted to have my work recognised. Thanks again and see you around! — CR4ZE (T • C) 11:04, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

TFA

Thank you today for Warner Bros. Movie World, introduced: "Hollywood on the Gold Coast, with a distinctive Aussie lilt. The only place on Earth where you can blast ray guns at 3D Starros in a Cyborg simulation, drop backwards into stark-black from a Scrappy-Doo huff, and catapult out of the Metropolis tunnels on a Superman punch, all in a single day. Over a near-thirty year tenure since its star-studded 1991 opening, Movie World has grown into one of Australia's premier theme parks and most popular tourist attractions. Those old enough will recall the good ol' days when "experiences" that captured the magic of cinema were sought over high-octane scream machines. Five year old me still revels in awe at the studio backlots along the tram tour, and screams in garish delight as I plummet down the Wild West Falls and zip through the veins of Gotham on Batman Adventure. Throughout the 2000s, the park's status as a thrill-seeker's playground burgeoned. Today, its skyline is dominated by arguably Australia's strongest coaster lineup, including the crown jewel, DC Rivals HyperCoaster. The menacing 60 m near-vertical drop in the backwards-facing final row should be on every enthusiast's bucket list, and one I can't wait to experience again (when us south of the border are allowed across it)."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
