Operation Wolf[edit]
Did you not watch the NES commercial? The enemies are outright referred to as terrorists. I often think of the enemies as such also. The NES cover art says so also.
Regarding your reverts[edit]
Hello, MrMajors. I was wondering if you would explain the edit summary, "a satirical source is not an unreliable source," as I don't understand how we could use a satirical source in the majority of cases, especially Kingpin which appears to be fictional. --Super Goku V (talk) 09:40, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- Kingpin is a satirical publication in the same way as Private Eye is, but it's not a deliberately fictional satire like The Onion or Weekly World News. --MrMajors (talk) 16:53, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- Very well. I am not familiar enough with Private Eye for the example, but you seem to understand more about this than I do. If you are convinced that the satire is done in a non-fictional way, then that is enough for me. Thank you for reverting my edits. :) --Super Goku V (talk) 07:18, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Arm Wrestling[edit]
Hello, sorry for the late but I do not check my contributions often. I've seen now that you've undid my revision 1061702353 on Arm Wrestling (video game) because "not noteworthy". The fact is that Arm Wrestling never had an home computer or console conversion back at the time and “Arm Wrestle” for the zx Spectrum, published in Italy in 1986, is the only actual home version of the game that though unofficial, clearly inferable from the game's graphics and gameplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N87qCl-AouA this is a gameplay in a spanish youtube channel, in Spain the ZX Spectrum computer was very popular (as actually was in all Europe, South America and Eastern Europe). It is common that clones or sequels of famous video games are often mentioned in the “legacy” chapters as well as unofficial conversions. Moreover, in this case it would seem the only existing domestic version of this arcade, albeit unofficial, it seems appropriate that it be named. I think that the existence of this conversion is actuallly a fact and that if this is noteworthy or not is an opinion. I conclude briefly, I don't want to trigger any further discussion but I wanted to clarify my opinion and why I had inserted this change on the page, thank you! --Carlosanta (talk) 15:49, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
Golden Brown[edit]
Hey there, looks like you read a book once and now you're an expert in time signatures! Not to worry, I'll show yo a thing or two! 13/8 doesn't equal 3+3+3+3+4/4 at all! That's 13/4 (not 13/8!) if you wanted to make it in 8th notes it would be 26/8 which is downright crazy I know! Well great to hear from ya and hope you learned a thing or two. So next time just stay off the edit button cause maybe you're not right (even though ya got a couple of internet article that say you are haha!) Newo70 (talk) 11:16, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
do you also realise the harm of your comment saying 'it doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, I citied it from somewhere else'? Maybe stop and think for a second before you publish stuff you have no idea about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newo70 (talk • contribs) 11:26, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources . If you think it "doesn't make sense" then find a citation that says so - one that's not based on a Youtube video, or somebody elses attempt to transcribe the song onto sheet music.MrMajors (talk) 11:39, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- You're a moron. You don't get how time signatures work at all and obviously' by your edit history you're not a musician.
- 13/8 doesn't equal 13/4. You have no idea what' you're writing. It can either be 13/4 or 13/8. Not both. You can't keep changing the sentence to say it's 13/8 made up of 3/4 and 4/4 because that makes no sense. It would equal 13/4 if it were true
- You are stuck in a stupid loop of citing a source because you're a an idiot on wikipedia with no critical thinking ability. Maybe stop and think of the quote you keep pushing in the context you're pushing it with? Newo70 (talk) 11:48, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- I guess you're also saying the people who wrote the song also aren't musicians either because they say its 13/8. Perhaps you should consider that the fact it seems to "makes no sense" is also the very reason it is being discussed in the first place. MrMajors (talk) 11:55, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- No, I"m saying the guy who wrote the song doesn't know how to count compound music.
- You really still don't get it. If your edit were right, you would need to change the rest of the sentence to be 6/8 and 8/8 instead of 3/4 and 4/4 but you still don't get it. Because you really are that much of a drone you can't think for yourself. But yeah go on, keep trying to revert the edit because you cited a book. Newo70 (talk) 12:01, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- No, you don't "get it". Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources until you do. MrMajors (talk) 12:04, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

December 2022[edit]
Your recent editing history at Golden Brown shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
See WP:CONTEXTMATTERS. We are not required to parrot wrong facts from one source when we have the correct facts from another source. Binksternet (talk) 15:15, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
Stick to factual material. Do not include "original research" such as opinions about a song, or interpretations of the lyrics or even statements about what the song is "about", unless they can be provided in the form of quotes that can be cited from sources with some authoritative insight (such as the songwriter or a notable performer). Other websites are available for people who want to give subjective interpretations of songs.
Worms (1995) DOS version screenshot[edit]
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Worms_(1995_video_game)&oldid=1040477624 I thought the rationale was obvious: The additional screenshot was of the DOS version, which is a bit different than the Amiga version shown in the only other screenshot. Screenshots showing the differences between platforms would have been interesting. As for it not being low resolution, how was it high resolution? It was like 320x200 pixels. WikiP's own guidelines on video game screenshots is that down-scaling these images makes no sense because it makes things unrecognizable, and it's acceptable to use the original resolution. The Amiga screenshot itself it clearly the original resolution. Frogtumor (talk) 22:41, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
Naked Eyes[edit]
Hello. I notice you undid my addition regarding Nakes Eyes' appearance in a radio commercial on American Top 40 in 1984. Your reason for removing it was because no citation was given. Why would I need to include a citation when my very addition itself included it's own reference source in the post. 173.254.160.201 (talk) 15:48, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Simply saying that the appearance happened is not enough. See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources. MrMajors (talk) 08:05, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
