LittleBigPlanet

Hello! Sorry, this took me ages to find - Template_talk:Infobox_CVG/Syntax_Guide#Syntax_guide: "Use the first public non-festival release in the game's country of origin, as well as any English-language release dates available." Hence, I have a habit of removing JP release dates from non-JP developed games (though likewise I remove, say, a DE release for a JP developed game). Hope that's ok! Thanks!

PC LittleBigPlanet

Hi, I noticed you edit the LittleBigPlanet page a lot, so I've got a question... have you heard anything about a PC version of LittleBigPlanet coming out? Some guy added "PC" under the Platforms section on the main page, and then linked that to the talk page, where he included yet another link to some console blog where someone took a picture of a LittleBigPlanet PC box. No idea why, just wondering if you've ever heard this rumor or if you think it holds any water.

Playstation 3

I just looked at the edit history for the PlayStation 3 page by clicking on the tab at the top of the article. You can view a user's edit history by clicking on the Contributions link next to their name or by going to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/USER_NAME . You may want to have a look at the tutorial if your interested in finding out more about editing Wikipedia. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 19:31, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

List of PlayStation 3 games

The exclusive column doesn't belong. No other video game lists that I know of (except for Xbox 360, which I havent cleaned yet) have it. It's just unnecessary clutter, which just makes these game lists even larger. See: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Should_video_game_lists_by_platform_include_the_exclusive_column.3F for a discussion I started on this. RobJ1981 (talk) 15:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Looking at your edit history, I assumed it wasn't malicious but I really think this should be discussed before it is removed. I will join your conversation on the project page. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 16:02, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Message sent - X201 (talk) 09:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

NEW I'll add to this rather than start a new thread. I take it your ID on the PS forums is the same as your PSN ID? Let me know. If so I'll send you a PM via that as using the PS controller to type a reply to your message from last night will probably make my thumbs drop off. I need one of these :-). - X201 (talk) 08:46, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, it's the same. I only really use the PlayStation Europe forums though. I assume you meant those? ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 08:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Yep, message sent. - X201 (talk) 09:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

SCE

The SCE comment on the LBP page. I missed your mention of it in your edit, just to clarify, my comment wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at a certain IP user. - X201 (talk) 10:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. That IP seems to be pushing the assumption of good faith now! You never know with IP users whether they're being difficult or they genuinely don't know about talk pages and edit summaries. I've put a level two vandalism warning on his/her talk page anyway. Thanks for your help. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 10:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Uncharted 2

Redirecting is fine - it's generally not a good idea to start a future game article with only one semi-official source that basically says "they're working on it". The only argument against keeping the one with "(working title)" is that no one will likely search for it. "Uncharted 2", yes, that's a search term and as you have it, goes to the right place, but I don't see anyone pulling out "Uncharted 2 (working title)" for a search. But it's not critical if it is deleted or not, though once a title is known, I would suggested getting rid of it. --MASEM 16:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

The Panderers

Do not remove my edit in the marketing section of Little_Big_Planet with "not notable". discussion. Rawlogic (talk) 16:35, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I think you've mistaken me for someone else. Please check the edit history and let me know which edit you're referring to? ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 20:47, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I see the one you're talking about. That was a valid revert. The information is and was trivial. The two people who responded to your comment on the talk page seem to agree. If you belive that it is notable, please discuss the reasons on the talk page. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 20:52, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

PSN for LittleBigPlanet

As a regular contributor to the LittleBigPlanet article, just wondered if you wanted to add me for a game sometime - PSN ID is the same as my Wiki one! SynergyBlades (talk) 13:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Sure. Already have X201 on my list. Maybe we could get together for a Wikirace! ;) I'll add you this evening but in case I forget, feel free to add me. Just 'Chimpanzee' (without the 'UK'). ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 13:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Re:AfD

You want to know the reason?. Here is why.

1. . You comment regarding failing notability.

If you do a little bit of googling you will see how much source are there. Does it still fail notability guidelines?.

1. . Adding AFD tag to the article.

AFD is meant only for deletion not for any purpose. Only in some serious case it used for merge.

1. . Your comment regarding "A redirect to the original article should be used for now until it has received significant coverage to demonstrate its notability."

The game was just announced 1 day back are you hoping it will have loads of information on day one?. If this case half of the article should be deleted and be merged because new announcement.

It reminds me of this incident. Even thought i added IGN link in Dirt 2 page you said it fails verifiable information.

For all this reason your afd nomination is of bad faith. --SkyWalker (talk) 17:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

You have not given me a chance to speak. The min i removed the merge you have added the afd tag. The history page says it all. Did you discuss it before you sent it to deletion?. NO. Did you discuss the merge?. NO. If you could have spent little time visiting the link you would have have seen the interview. It does not matter if it is over or not. This is not the first time that is happening to me. Even though i added a reliable source you still claimed no verifiable source is added. Anyways best of luck i will stop creating article very soon. I have given up Wikipedia and will be leaving has time comes. --SkyWalker (talk) 07:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pshomelogo.svg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pshomelogo.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Custom Soundtracks in MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

Unfourtunately you are wrog, because I checked out the music lists, and the custom soundtrack was not here. The were not successful. If you know where it is, then feel free to reply. 70.45.182.188 (talk) 01:20, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

If the Custom Soundtracks was in the XMB, then where can I find it from? To me, I looked up in the Options menu, and nowhere is this feature has been found, nor is my PS3's main menu. 70.45.182.188 (talk) 01:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Never mind. I got it. It was under the "Music" name. Thanks for your help. 70.45.182.188 (talk) 18:20, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry, I just hate it when people remove good edits that were made after the bad edits they think they are reverting. I removed "free" because a big part of PlayStation Network is the PlayStation Store, which obviously charges money. Mike R (talk) 15:27, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

PS Home

Yes, I have a question about the page and an edit you undid of mine. I had put some picture links on the Playstation Home page and you took them off, and in your edit summary you put "inline links-big NO NO." I read the guidelines for links, and I did not see anything in there that said I couldn't put picture links, maybe I misread, can you clear me up here? JDC808 (talk) 1:55 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. In general, external links should only be provided if they can provide information that cannot be included in the article it's self for any reason. Wikipedia Manual of style (links) says that inline links can be used as a form of citation but otherwise should be included in the External links section in an article. Maybe it was a bit over the top to call it a "big NO NO" though - while the MOS doesn't make that big of a deal over it, it's more that it's considered very bad by most editors. Sorry about that.

Aside from that though, I don't think the images are really necessary for a Wikipedia article anyway. Wikipedia isn't a game guide or fan site (see WP:NOT). Extensive image galleries should be left to sites like 1up and Eurogamer. If you happen to find a particularly good collection of images it might be worth putting that in the External links section. Although links to these sites are normally discouraged under WP:VG/EL, if it offers "substantial information that is relevant but not necessarily encyclopedic in nature" then the link may be included.

Good work on the article though. Yours and Ffgamera's edits have vastly improved the article over the last few weeks. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 08:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for clearing up the inline link situation for me, and thank you about the good work part, I'm a little new to editing and stuff here on Wikipedia, sometimes my wording on some things in exactly the best, but you and Ffgamera have helped that out when needed in the article, I'll keep trying to do my best to find more information and such for the article, it's looking really good, Ffgamera did a good job making it and your contributions are a big help to so thank you for your help on the article as well. JDC808 (talk) 11:18 5 January 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Sorry I haven't been making many additions to the article though. I mainly seem to be copy editing the stuff you and Ffgamera add, but that's to be expected as both you and Ffgamera are fairly new to Wikipedia. I don't normally like copy editing as I always think it can come across as a bit harsh. Glad you don't take any offence to it. Obviously none is intended. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 16:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: logo

hmmm.... yeah, I do seem to recall something along those lines, but I can't seem to find it. (it may have been removed when the fair-use guideline pages were overhauled a few months ago) Either way, I definitely agree that the old image is very much superior and I agree with your decision to readd it.
