-== External links modified ==
-Hello fellow Wikipedians,
-I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Angry Video Game Nerd]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=712647124 my edit]. You may add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
-*Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20150518094540/http://www.brawlcustommusic.com/game/2093 to http://www.brawlcustommusic.com/game/2093
-When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' or '''failed''' to let others know (documentation at {{tlx|Sourcecheck}}).
-{{sourcecheck|checked=false}}
-Cheers.—[[User:Cyberbot II|<sup style="color:green;font-family:Courier">cyberbot II]]<small><sub style="margin-left:-14.9ex;color:green;font-family:Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Cyberbot II|<span style="color:green">Talk to my owner]]:Online</sub></small> 09:37, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
-==Ghostbusters==
-Hello everyone. In the [http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/men-are-sabotaging-the-online-reviews-of-tv-shows-aimed-at-women/ first source], James is mentioned and describe in one sentence.
-"''And then there’s “The Angry Video Game Nerd,“ a misogynistic web show whose sycophantic Wikipedia entry made me pine for hemlock in my coffee.''"
-Attributing misogamy to Ghostbusters is [[WP:UNDUE]] as the two sources do not say misogamy.
-His observations comes from [http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/291025/ghostbusters-james-rolfe-cinemassacre "Brave, not-sexist movie critic refuses to watch the new 'Ghostbusters'"] and [http://www.dailydot.com/lol/ghostbusters-reboot-movie-critic-refuses-to-review/ "Heroic angry nerd refuses to review new ‘Ghostbusters’ movie"]
-Both are written in condescending and passive-aggressive tones.  Which also seems to violate [[WP:NPOV]]. Cheers. [[User:Supergodzilla2090|Supergodzilla2090]] ([[User talk:Supergodzilla2090|talk]]) 04:04, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
-:Not entirely following you. The misogyny is attributed to Angry Video Game Nerd by Hickey, not the two other sources (he just uses the two sources as his example). He also calls it "crap" in the next sentence. Not sure why it's undue to include that information. The various other sources in the reception and legacy section, which are overwhelmingly positive, are given far more weight right now. [[User:FuriouslySerene|FuriouslySerene]] ([[User talk:FuriouslySerene|talk]]) 14:59, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
-I'm not familiar with [[FiveThirtyEight]], but is it a reliable source? Because the article comes off as sensationalistic. Additionally, I'm not sure this recent Ghostbusters topic is overall relevant to the article, since most sources aren't "attacking" AVGN itself, but instead Rolfe and Cinemassacre. This Hickey is probably the only article that explicitly attacks the AVGN web show as "misogynistic". '''''[[User:Katastasi|<font color="Bronze">κ</font>]]'''''<small>'''''[[User talk:Katastasi|<font color="Bronze">ατάστασ</font>]]'''''</small>'''''[[Special:Contributions/Katastasi|<font color="Bronze">η</font>]]''''' 16:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
-: 538 is a reliable source, when it comes to political and sports statistics. Nate Silver in particular is good at predicting electoral election results. However, personally, I feel like the Hickey article is attributing qualities to Rolfe which do not exist. [[User:PaintingTurtle|PaintingTurtle]] ([[User talk:PaintingTurtle|talk]]) 17:46, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
-:: Exactly, it is more of a sensationalistic opinion piece. '''''[[User:Katastasi|<font color="Bronze">κ</font>]]'''''<small>'''''[[User talk:Katastasi|<font color="Bronze">ατάστασ</font>]]'''''</small>'''''[[Special:Contributions/Katastasi|<font color="Bronze">η</font>]]''''' 19:26, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
-:::I feel as if the accusations of misogyny are undue weight, given they came from a single author. Neither of the two sources the author provided actually claim AVGN is a misogynist. Furthermore, Rolfe comments made about the new Ghostbusters comments were not part of the AVGN series. If anything, this is a discussion that should be held at [[James Rolfe|his article]].  --<small><span style="border: 1px solid">[[user:StarScream1007|'''<span style="background-color:White; color:#CC0000"> &nbsp;StarScream1007&nbsp;</span>''']][[User talk:StarScream1007|<span style="background-color:#003399; color:white">&nbsp;►Talk&nbsp;</span>]] </span></small> 00:23, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
-::::I agree. I created this conversation to stop the edit war but it did not seem to work. So this article might need to be protected. [[User:Supergodzilla2090|Supergodzilla2090]] ([[User talk:Supergodzilla2090|talk]]) 06:16, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
-:::::I was going to open a request for protection, but {{user|Qed237}} beat me to it. I guess I'm getting old and too slow on the draw. --<small><span style="border: 1px solid">[[user:StarScream1007|'''<span style="background-color:White; color:#CC0000"> &nbsp;StarScream1007&nbsp;</span>''']][[User talk:StarScream1007|<span style="background-color:#003399; color:white">&nbsp;►Talk&nbsp;</span>]] </span></small> 17:04, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
-There's an article at [http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/05/the-sexist-outcry-against-the-ghostbusters-remake-gets-louder/483270/| the Atlantic] brings up the issue and mentions Rolfe twice and not in a particularly flattering way. It doesn't use the word misogynistic but it does call all the complaints "logically flimsy". At the very least this has become a notable event for Rolfe. I'm not really following any of this and don't know who Rolfe is or what AVGN is but if the consensus is that this is more about him than AVGN (did his video show up on the AVGN channel?) then I see no problem moving it.
