Hellboy Web of Wyrd

Hey Rhain!

My name is Drew, I work with Good Shepherd Games, the publisher of Hellboy Web of Wyrd. Thanks for creating the wiki page!

I was wondering if you would do me a massive favor and remove the colon in the title, so it reads "Hellboy Web of Wyrd" for us? Just so that YouTube pulls the key art when it auto-generates the Hellboy Web of Wyrd category.

I've already updated the text in the body.

Thank you for reading this! GoodShepherdGames (talk) 15:47, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

• @GoodShepherdGames:  Done per WP:COMMONNAME. I've also noted your professional association on the talk page; I'd recommend looking at Wikipedia's guidelines on conflicts of interest before making additional changes to the article or related content. Thanks! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:44, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

  Thank you very much! And will do, thanks for the tip, I'm new to this yet. Very appreciative of your graciousness. GoodShepherdGames (talk) 21:46, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Doctor Who (series 13)

A while back you declined the article Doctor Who (series 13) GA status in this review. I would like to get the article to GA status, so I would like to ask do you feel it has improved significantly enought that no major work is needed or can it be resubmitted OLIfanofmrtennant (she/her) Questions? 21:08, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Obviouslly with copy edits OLIfanofmrtennant (she/her) Questions? 21:08, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant: Thanks for reaching out—I'm glad that you want to take the article to GA! Unfortunately, it still needs quite a bit of work. Very little has been done since my review, and almost all of my concerns remain. I would recommend working through my points individually to ensure each has been addressed. Please don't hesitate to ask if you'd like clarification on any of them, or if you'd like me to check on your progress. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Do you feel as I am adressing the problems the proper way. Questions? four OLIfanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:36, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

It's a good start, but there's still a lot of work to be done, in my opinion. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Lake (video game)

On 25 September 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lake (video game), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a freelance game developer successfully pitched a video game with a picture of a car driving around a lake? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lake (video game). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Lake (video game)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Doctor Who FA proposal

I think it would be a good idea to get the article for Doctor Who itself to FA in honour of the 60th. If there is any intrest then I think it is feasible, if not then theres always the 70th. I placed a comment on the talk page of the wikiproject but I though reaching out directly would be a bit better for getting attention. Questions? four OLIfanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:18, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant: Thanks for reaching out; I saw your message at WT:WHO as well. It's a nice thought, but with less than two months until the anniversary, I don't think this is a feasible task. The article is in decent shape but needs an intense amount of work before it reaches GA, let alone FA. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:21, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Do you think possibly a DYK would be possible? one of this conditions for a DYK is getting a GA promtion. If you think GA is possible I'll get to work but Like I said "theres always the 70th." Questions? four OLIfanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:26, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant: GA is not impossible, but I still think it would take an incredible amount of work—and an article of that size would require a fairly extensive review, so getting a DYK in less than two months is nigh impossible. Improvements are always a good idea, but it seems unlikely by that deadline, unfortunately; the 70th is much more feasible. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:31, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Rhain1999

I have made a few edits on Wikipedia from different IP addresses and previously had an edit reverted by you. I noticed a user named "Rhain1999" on the Red Dead Wiki over at Fandom.com and I was just curious if it is you or merely a coincidence that they have a similar username 2600:6C52:7200:432:2D3A:BB51:B0E8:F32 (talk) 06:58, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Sushi-X's real name is confirmed in the Electronic Gaming Monthly article

Rhain, you always claim that "Sushi-X" never had a real name, but I believe that his real name is Ken Williams, as stated in the History section of the Electronic Gaming Monthly article. And you always undo my fixes on the Space Station Silicon Valley article, as the GameRankings link said that the EGM score was "8.375/10", but you always change it to "33.5/40" to make it more like Famitsu instead of EGM. And you always make GamePro reviews scoreless when they actually have a score without you knowing it. And you always remove most of the reviews from the Reception chart, including CNET Gamecenter, EP Daily and Nintendo Power. If you insist that the Space Station Silicon Valley article remain unfixed and unchanged, then I'm not working on the article anymore. --Angeldeb82 (talk) 22:34, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

@Angeldeb82: I'm not sure I agree with your use of the word "always" here, but to address your concerns:

• "Sushi-X" was a pseudonym used by several EGM editors. It's apparently true that Williams was the primary user of the name for about five years, but this doesn't appear to have been the case by late 1998.
• EGM and Famitsu use/d the same scoring practices, so that's a logical comparison. I think cumulative is more useful than average in this case.
• I am well aware of GamePro's scores; I just think they're unnecessary and add nothing of substance.
• Ten reviews is enough for {{Video game reviews}}.

"if you insist that the ... article remain unfixed and unchanged"—I don't believe there's anything to be "fixed", but I would never insist an article be "unchanged". I welcome all changes to improve the encyclopedia. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:12, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Lords of the Fallen, stars and digits

Hi,

In the table with the scores of the game Lords of the Fallen you replaced stars with digits. I feel it's less readable than before. If most scores are out of 10, one feels that 2 out of 5 is very low. Because it is usually "out of 10".

Can I change it back, please? MichalZim (talk) 14:23, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

@MichalZim: "2/5" is the exact same as "", so I'm not sure I understand the concern. Regardless, the {{rating}} template has been discarded for {{Video game reviews}} per template documentation and WP:VG/REC. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 14:44, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Undid deletion to IndieLand Section on The Completionist Article

Hi @Rhain, I undid your deletion to The Completionist article's description of failure to donate IndieLand funds. Based on the perennial sources' aggregate discussion of Dexerto, I agree this site is presenting tabloid journalism of YouTube videos. However, the statements contained within include the subject's confirmation of the allegations, claims which are supported by IRS filings linked in the prior source. Thus, I believe this constitutes the rare case of Dexerto satisfying BLP requirements of reliable sourcing. BluePenguin18 🐧 ( 💬 ) 08:27, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

I appreciate you providing a detailed explanation prior to your reversion. I still disagree with the inclusion based on the reputation of Dexerto but I understand your point; Khalil's response certainly makes it more useable. That being said, I think it's inappropriate to cite the IRS filings and the website directly—the paragraph is focused on the claims by Jobst and Mutahar, it's not up to us to verify those claims—so I've removed them, and added {{better source needed}} to the Dexerto ref. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 08:40, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:44, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Why are you undoing my edits?

I am a professional editor and proofreader. I get paid to fix people's incorrect grammar and poor structure. I am contributing my professional skills to Wikipedia for free. Do you believe that Wikipedia prefers incorrect grammar and poor structure over correct grammar and prime structure, or may I continue to improve the page? 208.77.56.242 (talk) 00:27, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

You are always welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, and your efforts are appreciated. However, as explained thrice, Wikipedia uses the "logical quotation" style, so most of your edits in that regard are incorrect. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:35, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

I did not see that explained anywhere, much less thrice. However, if that's really how Wikipedia wants it, then that is a very sad and grammatically wrong state of affairs that I will begrudgingly leave alone. I hate having to read pages with incorrect grammar, and I experience an intense craving to fix it. Wikipedia is being foolish on this topic, but it's their site and their awful rules, so whatever. Thanks for replying. 208.77.56.242 (talk) 00:47, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

It should have been explained better, but the links to MOS:LQ were provided in the reversions. Thanks for reaching out. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:50, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Vindictive Much?

I find it sad and pathetic and humourous that you actually went a looked into my previous edits to find fault. You seem to be a very bitter human. This is why wikipedia is a great source but a flawed system. Moderators destroy freedom of speech because they come with narcissistic personas. Snowbound (talk) 02:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

It's very standard to check through a user's recent contributions after they have vandalised or disruptively edited an article. Your accusations of vindictiveness and bitterness appear misplaced. And I am not a "moderator". – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 02:55, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

GTA V, most profitable/financially successful entertainment product of all time

Don't you think it is worth mentioning in the lead, that it is/was the most profitable/financially successful entertainment product of all time? In my opinion, it is quite noteworthy to belong in the lead, with or without the $6 billion figure. Autoadrenaline (talk) 07:07, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

@Autoadrenaline: The lead already mentions that it's "one of the most financially successful entertainment products of all time". I'm not sure any extra detail is warranted, especially in such a cramped paragraph. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 07:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

I understand the point. However, the sources emphasize it as the "most," not "one of." I believe sticking with "most" is justified considering it is one of the game's significant records/milestones verified by reliable sources. I also wondered about the absence of sales details between 45 million and 190 million copies sold. While not every incremental figure is necessary, highlighting major sales milestones like 50 million, 100 million, and 150 million might provide a clearer overview, don't you think?"
