what's up with putting sales numbers in the "release" section? [[User:MrGuyWasTaken|MrGuyWasTaken]] ([[User talk:MrGuyWasTaken|talk]]) 22:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC) |

I happened to visit [[Yoshi's Safari]] today and think, "Wasn't this pretty scant not that long ago? Huh..." Turns out, that's exactly correct haha. It just recently got a complete overhaul by someone I happened to recognize. Great work! :) --[[User:Bchill53|Bchill53]] ([[User talk:Bchill53|talk]]) 22:18, 27 March 2019 (UTC) |

:For me sales should be part of release since it's not really tied to how the game is received. I mean, it sold a million copies before reviews even dropped. I've grouped sales with release in all of the FAs I've written and never faced pushback [[User:TheJoebro64|<small style="color:red">JOE</small>]][[User talk:TheJoebro64|<small>BRO</small>]][[Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64|<sup style="color:#D18719">64</sup>]] 00:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC) |

== Location for creation sections == |

== WikiCup 2024 November newsletter == |

I have often wondered where Creation section should be included too within articles but most FAs I have seen in Wikipedia use it above like Lightning (Final Fantasy) or the GA Kratos (God of War). Maybe this could be discussed in the project to discuss a potential change for the manual of style. Any ideas?[[User:Tintor2|Tintor2]] ([[User talk:Tintor2|talk]]) 18:54, 3 April 2019 (UTC) |
|||
:{{ping|Tintor2|p=}}, IMO Creation sections should only come first if the character has a History section (eg [[Anarky]] or [[Joker (character)]]). When writing [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] I chose to place the creation section after the description of the character because I felt like the creation section elaborated on points in the description so it didn't make sense to have that first. It's definitely worth opening a discussion on it.

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|AirshipJungleman29}}, who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|BeanieFan11}}, who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Generalissima}} scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Sammi Brie}} with 879 points, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Hey man im josh}} with 533 points, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|BennyOnTheLoose}} with 432 points, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|Arconning}} with 244 points, and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant15|AryKun}} with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated! |

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone! |

[https://i.imgur.com/ibgympJ.png It looks even worse now]. The near entirety of the "Development" section is being shoved awkwardly to the right... – <span style="color:#124385;">PhilipTerryGraham</span> ([[User talk:PhilipTerryGraham|talk]] <b>·</b> [[User:PhilipTerryGraham/Articles|articles]] <b>·</b> [[User:PhilipTerryGraham/Reviews|reviews]]) 03:00, 8 April 2019 (UTC) |

:{{ping|PhilipTerryGraham}} so add a {{tl|clear}} template at the end of the section? Like it or not, removing an acceptable illustrative image purely for layout reasoning is disruptive and a sign of [[WP:OWN|ownership]]. There's absolutely no problem with including a screenshot; it illustrates the gameplay as described in the section as well as the visual style that's discussed in the development section. [[User:TheJoebro64|<small style="color:red">JOE</small>]][[User talk:TheJoebro64|<small>BRO</small>]][[Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64|<span style="color:#D18719">64</span>]] 04:14, 8 April 2019 (UTC) |
|||
::{{tl|Clear}} only creates a massive gap, which also looks awful. Do we need an image to illustrate what can easily be described in words? [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Meeting the no free equivalent criterion|Non-free content policy]] asks if "{{xt|the subject be adequately conveyed by properly sourced text without using the non-free content at all?}}" We don't really need an image to illustrate the game has a top-down perspective, as the image was {{Diff||889427894|887509816|originally used to illustrate}}. [[Wikipedia:There is no deadline|We don't need to rush]] to slap an image onto an article when there is nothing it can illustrate yet. – <span style="color:#124385;">PhilipTerryGraham</span> ([[User talk:PhilipTerryGraham|talk]] <b>·</b> [[User:PhilipTerryGraham/Articles|articles]] <b>·</b> [[User:PhilipTerryGraham/Reviews|reviews]]) 04:26, 8 April 2019 (UTC) |
|||
:::{{ping|PhilipTerryGraham}} this has nothing to do with [[WP:THEREISNODEADLINE]] and [[WP:NONFREE]]. The image is used to provide visual aid and illustrate the overall gameplay, thus satisfying the non-free content requirements, and it is not "too soon" to place an image in the article. Furthermore, that second point and your statement that "{{tl|Clear}} only creates a massive gap, which also looks awful" gives me all the more reason to think you think you own the article. You can only justify your change by saying you don't like it. Wikipedia is supposed to be a collaborative project, not "I wrote the article so I have the right to review and get rid of every change I don't like."

::::That’s unfair. You say Wikipedia is a collaborative project, but at the same time because I created the article, my opinion on the article’s quality is somehow lesser than others and not equal. You’re explicitly choosing [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|not to assume good faith]] and saying I’m policing people’s opinions, instead of making an argument as to why we should make the article look awful in service of an image that a) does not “{{xt|provide visual aid and illustrate the overall gameplay}}” that text alone can’t in this case and b) preemptively illustrates parts of gameplay not yet covered in the article due to a lack of sources at this time. This is true regardless of whoever says it, whether it be me or another editor. – <span style="color:#124385;">PhilipTerryGraham</span> ([[User talk:PhilipTerryGraham|talk]] <b>·</b> [[User:PhilipTerryGraham/Articles|articles]] <b>·</b> [[User:PhilipTerryGraham/Reviews|reviews]]) 12:18, 8 April 2019 (UTC) |

[[Donkey Kong Country]], introduced as one of those rare ([[Rare (company)|ba-dum-chiss]]) video games where it's impossible to overstate its influence. It transformed ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' from a dusty, archaic product of [[Golden age of arcade video games|the olden days]] into a multimillion-dollar franchising juggernaut, turned the tide of the 16-bit [[console war]]s by giving players a taste of 3D graphics well before they could actually play [[fifth generation of video game consoles|next-generation hardware]], and elevated Rare from a tiny, unknown studio into one of the video game industry's premier developers. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 11:01, 18 November 2024 (UTC) |

==[[User: Internet Informant]] inquiry against accusations of [[Sockpuppet (internet)|Sockpuppetry]]== |
|||
In response to your inquiry about 'sock-puppet accounts' I have done no such thing. I'm sorry you think that but I have only ever done edits whilst logged into my account regardless of the IP addresses. If there was a time I was blocked and then made edits it's because of the accusations against me for 'edit-warring'. I'm not intending for any such things to happen; I just bit off more than I could chew and I upset people without meaning to do that at all. |
|||
I try to fight biases but every so often that's detrimental to the Wikipedia policies which have been used against me even when I'm trying to fight back such pitiful sensitivity and exploitative behavior online. I'm not meaning to perpetuate such activity: I'm just trying to maintain my freedom and expansion of the contents on Wikipedia. I know that I should edit smaller and then work my way up. I've done this for years but I've only done passive editing of articles, and when I edit something as contentious as Star Wars or Alex Jones people try to counter that contribution even though I've cited the necessary information. So in conclusion, I'm innocent of these accusations. I've done no such thing as this sock puppetry: I've only ever used this one account and nothing else, though I have used different, and publicly visible, IP addresses in the past.[[User:Internet Informant|Internet Informant]] ([[User talk:Internet Informant|talk]]) 06:28, 17 May 2019 (UTC) |

== Yooka-Laylee == |
|||
Hey there, I‘ve seen you‘ve removed Yooka-Laylee from the GAN page because I am no major contributor to the article. I just wanted to let you know that‘s not the case. While I haven’t contributed to the article in a while, I wrote the entire lede, plot and reception sections back in they day and they haven’t changed much tbh. I wanted to bring it up to GA status back in 2017 but then life got in the way and I never followed through on it. Also, the problems from the last GAN are rather minor and I would love to work on them with a reviewer. So would you mind putting it back up for GAN? [[User:DasallmächtigeJ|DasallmächtigeJ]] ([[User talk:DasallmächtigeJ|talk]]) 08:16, 8 June 2019 (UTC) |
|||
:{{ping|DasallmächtigeJ|p=}}, done, but I still don't think the article is ready for GA status. Gameplay is unsourced, development seems to be missing some key sources, and the reception section is filled with tons of single-sentence subsections. I recommend withdrawing the nomination for further work.

"the game will be inspired by X" *heavily implies* that it is a major source of inspiration. The source does *not* state this, it is stated as just one inspiration for *some* of the developers. All my wording does is makes this explicit and clear. You need to provide a better reason for making a statement more confusing and unclear than "it saves a couple of words". <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Denziloe|Denziloe]] ([[User talk:Denziloe#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Denziloe|contribs]]) 23:09, 16 June 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:{{ping|Denziloe|p=}}, saying "the game will be inspired by..." doesn't conflict with the source. It literally just means that ''RDD2'' will be inspiration. It doesn't say it was a huge influence or a minor one, just that it is one. Your revision was overwritten and made the sentence read awkwardly.

::I'm not saying it can't technically be interpreted in a way that is consistent with the source, I'm saying that the current wording is open to misinterpretation by readers. Therefore I'm recommending clarification. All that Anouma says himself is that a lot of the younger devs are playing Red Dead 2. "The game will be inspired by Red Dead 2" is patently not a particularly good summary of that statement. |
|||
::If your only complaint is that my wording was clumsy, then I will attempt another rewording (as close as I can get to a direct restatement of what is actually contained in the source). If you still don't like the rewording, you are welcome to improve it. If you remove it, I'll elevate it to the article's talk page. Okay? |

== Batman: Damned == |
|||
Hi joe bro, |
|||
You only see the outline of Batman’s genitals, the entire thing is not visible. It’s not like Dr. Manhattan where that would very much qualify as “full frontal”. Many readers online even said they read Damned issue 1 without noticing because it was so obscured. |
|||
I am not taking clickbait sources into account on what they saw because we both know headlines that have “outline of Batman’s penis” vs “BATMAN IS NAKED LOOK AT IT” are vastly different in how many clicks they will generate, and really that’s all they are about. It is why Bleeding Cool is still making new articles about it, 9 months later. |
|||
I said it’s non canon, but I can see how some people don’t think that matters. But it is absolutely not a full rendering of his genitals. |
|||
:It still classifies as full frontal though, even if it's obscured. It ''is'' complete nudity, and reliable sources call it such. [[User:TheJoebro64|<small style="color:red">JOE</small>]][[User talk:TheJoebro64|<small>BRO</small>]][[Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64|<span style="color:#D18719">64</span>]] 16:39, 20 June 2019 (UTC) |
|||
::Reliable? More than your own eyes? Whatever. It’s clearly not but I’m not going to argue with you anymore. This is a good example of why Wikipedia is ridden with false info these days (way more than it usually is) - stubborn mods that can’t fathom the possibility they’re wrong.

:::I'm sorry you feel that way but that's not how Wikipedia works. We write based on what [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] say. The sources cited are considered reliable, so we go by what they say. It's as simple as that.

|||
::::Ok then. So if I find “reliable” sources saying they feel it is just a silouette, could a paragraph be added saying “some found the controversy overblown...”? I have one already: |
|||
::::www.polygon.com/platform/amp/comics/2018/9/19/17871390/batman-penis |
|||
::::And Bermejo himself calls it “shadowy” on the Bat Force podcast. How many sources would be needed? |
|||
::::Also note that there have also been several major characters that have appeared naked without fanfare: Spider-Man, elektra, bullseye, Jim Gordon, Vampirella. I think a paragraph speaking to a great portion of fans like myself that think the controversy was an enormous click bait tells the story of Batman: Damned the best. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.113.14.224|98.113.14.224]] ([[User talk:98.113.14.224#top|talk]]) 18:29, 13 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
|||
:::::The Polygon source is definitely worth adding. However, I still think full frontal is the most accurate way to describe the scene. "Full-frontal" really just means ''complete'' nudity, which is what the scene was.

|||
I mean that could be in the revision too. Something along the lines of: |
|||
“However a number of fans felt that the outrage was unjustified and overblown- feeling that the genitals were barely visible, little more than an outline. To this point, some readers even missed the nudity while reading the book the first time (polygon source). Many also felt the overblown nature of the controversy overshadowed what had been an outstanding quality of work done by both Azzarello and Bermejo.” |
|||
I could also add some of Bermejos quotes from the batforce podcast about some of the internal backlash at DC, which are interesting. |
|||
:That'd be fine. Also, could you provide me a link to the podcast? That sounds really interesting.

;WMF at work on NPP Improvements |
|||
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at [[WT:NPR|NPR]]. There is now also a live queue of [[WP:AfC|AfC]] submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important. |
|||
;QUALITY of REVIEWING |
|||
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please [[quis custodiet ipsos custodes|be on the alert]] for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. |
|||
The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at [[WT:NPR|NPR]]. |
|||
;Backlog |
|||
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever. |
|||
;Move to draft |
|||
NPR is [[triage]], it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which ''might'' have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations. |
|||
;Notifying users |
|||
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are [[WP:SPA|SPA]] and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging. |
|||
;PERM |
|||
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome ''if <u>absolutely</u> necessary'', but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway. |
|||
;Other news |
|||
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages. |

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#What's changed from last year?|several changes]] to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Tournament points|tournament points]] at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round. |

[edit]what's up with putting sales numbers in the "release" section? MrGuyWasTaken (talk) 22:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- For me sales should be part of release since it's not really tied to how the game is received. I mean, it sold a million copies before reviews even dropped. I've grouped sales with release in all of the FAs I've written and never faced pushback JOEBRO64 00:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
WikiCup 2024 November newsletter
[edit]The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is 
AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, 
BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, 
Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: 
Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, 
Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, 
BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, 
Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and

[edit] |
Thank you today for Donkey Kong Country, introduced as one of those rare (ba-dum-chiss) video games where it's impossible to overstate its influence. It transformed Donkey Kong from a dusty, archaic product of the olden days into a multimillion-dollar franchising juggernaut, turned the tide of the 16-bit console wars by giving players a taste of 3D graphics well before they could actually play next-generation hardware, and elevated Rare from a tiny, unknown studio into one of the video game industry's premier developers. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:01, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!
[edit]Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.
For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.
The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
