User talk:Michig

Michig is busy and is going to be on Wikipedia in off-and-on doses, and may not respond swiftly to queries.

If you are here to ask why I deleted an article or to request undeletion, please first read Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Notability, and if you still don't understand why the article was deleted leave a message at the end of the page, and I will deal with it when I have a chance. If you email me instead calling me names, making silly accusations, or making misguided legal threats I will very likely ignore you.

World of Guns: Guns Disassembly

Hello, Michig. I wanted to discuss with you the possibility of re-creating the World of Guns: Gun Disassembly article. First of all, the previous deletion discussion was extremely civil and I agree with all the points made. Here, then, are my points for creating a small article anyway.

Besides being featured twice on Rock Paper Shotgun (the second time is here), World of Guns was covered very positively in one of the more popular (and, uniquely, politics-free) US firearm culture blogs, The Firearm Blog. This, I think, reflects its unique position: it lies somewhere between being a hardcore simulator, a casual game for proverbial CSGO fans, and a real, viable engineering reference and teaching aid (The Firearm Blog editor notes that he actually used the game as a reference for repairing old firearms). The effort put into the simulation library seems sizeable to say the least - developers list "150+ models with 19 000 individual parts".

Here is its Russian-language article - see the ref section, it got more coverage in the Russian-language gaming press, including a segment on a TV show about videogames: Link. Also, the game seems to be reasonably popular in terms of user base (Steam Spy lists around 2.2 million installs, and Google Store lists "1 to 5 million" installs for the earlier version of the app; plus about a million users total on VK.com and Facebook).

To be honest, being an avid firearm enthusiast, I personally used the app a lot over the years. And I think it's extremely unique, sort of like Microsoft Flight Simulator of firearms. Pity it has little coverage, again probably because of its awkward position between casual and niche markets.

So, these are my points for creating a stub / small article with a video game template. What do you think?

I'm not familiar enough with those sources to judge them, but blogs, even if popular, are unlikely to be accepted as reliable. --Michig (talk) 15:47, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies Regarding AfD for Parvardigar (Pete Townshend song)

I just wanted to apologize for the confusion on the AfD for Parvardigar (Pete Townshend song) as I intended to ping both of the users who provided "keep" votes, but I accidentally copied and pasted your username instead. I wanted to apologize directly to you regarding this matter. Aoba47 (talk) 18:04, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. Please don't worry about it. --Michig (talk) 19:01, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Accidental reverts

I was slightly amused to see your edit summary [1], because yesterday I had a very similar experience. a tiny slip of my finger as my mouse cursor was moving over the "rollback" link reverted 24 edits to an editor's user page, covering nearly six months. It just seems a funny coincidence that you should do almost the same to me such a short time after I did it to someone else, that's all. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:48, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Easily done with those instant rollback links on the Watchlist. When your mousepad starts scrolling for no apparent reason it doesn't help. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a setting in preferences to remove the rollback link - I never (normally) do rollbacks without going into the page history first anyway. --Michig (talk) 15:59, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Comprehensive List of Dizzy Games

Hi, Michig.

Thank you for editing my list!

However, I do not completely comprehend your comment: "declined speedy deletion - A7 does not cover computer games".

What is "A7"?

Best regards,
