User talk:Ferret

Thanks!

		The Original Barnstar
		Thanks for helping me with the List of Sonic the Hedgehog video game characters article. (I imagine you saw my request at WP:VG?) I've gotten it semi-protected now, so hopefully it should taken care of. Thanks! Sergecross73 msg me 15:44, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Game article

As long as it has a handful of reviews from reliable sources like Gamespot and others (see [[WP:VG/S for a comprehensive list) it should be okay for an article. And as long as you are careful in adding the information in an unbiased way, there's no real COI issue. Case in point, the guy behind Blendo Games is a member of a forum board I'm on. I've asked him for information informally as a friend on the forum to make that article and his game articles. But the only bias is the fact I can add free pictures that he's licensed out appropriately - never a bad thing. WP:COI doesn't prevent someone directly involved from adding information, just that we expect them to add it unbiasedly.

If you want, you can create the article in your userspace and then ask again if you want someone to confirm if its notable or not. You can't yet add images there, but at least you can write out most of the work there. --MASEM (t) 00:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Action-RTS

If there's original research happening, it's pretending that Herzog Zwei had an important role in the Action-RTS genre. It's not even remotely similar to Aeon of Strife or DotA- it's a traditional real time strategy game, which is all specified in the link given. If it belongs on wiki, it belongs in the article for that genre, not this one. I'd like you to remove your reversion.

If you disagree with it's inclusion please discuss on the article's talk page. -- ferret (talk) 19:31, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Starsiege

You wouldn't happen to be the ferret from the Starsiege forums would you? I'm going off of pretty thin reasoning here so excuse me if you have no idea what I mean. Some guy (talk) 03:02, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Nope, no relation to Starsiege. If you spent any time around Half-Life/Counter-strike mod communities, I am the ferret from AMXX/Sourcemod/WC3 however. -- ferret (talk) 11:28, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Ah, all right, I wouldn't know you then. I was just going off of "interested in video games" and "spells ferret with a lowercase f" :P . Some guy (talk) 02:07, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Funny story, but the fact that my user page is capitalized Ferret actually bothers me :) -- ferret (talk) 02:41, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

World at War and Black Ops

Hello! World at War may not have the Black Ops subtitle, but it is no doubt in the same continuity as Black Ops, and it is stated on the Black Ops page that BO is a sequel to World at War - they are undoubtedly within the same sub-series. I'd prefer the sub-series be called Black Ops, as 2/3 games in the series are using that name. Sabre (talk) 18:18, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I see what you mean, I had forgotten how they tied Reznor into BO. It doesn't quite fit right but I guess with Black Ops getting the official "sequel" it'll have to do. Another option though may be to follow the Call of Duty series page, with "historial", "modern" and "future" headings. -- ferret (talk) 18:34, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Historical/Modern/Future would look too lopsided - Historical would have 1,2,3,WaW and Black Ops. Modern would have MW1,MW2,MW3 and Future would have BO2. Sounds a bit all over the place. I think by separating it with official sub-brands, potential players would have an idea of how the story/continuity of each sub-brand goes. Sabre (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Ghost

If ur questioning why i used so much wikia references, i can explain much about them and revert some of them, but if ur asking the character's notability, open ur eyes brah... and you'll see in the pages why this character is NOTABLE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.108.159.168 (talk) 14:55, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

As I replied on your user's talk page, Wikia is not a reliable source and does not establish notability. Wikipedia itself does not establish notability, so opening my eyes and reading wikipedia won't help either. -- ferret (talk) 16:42, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Video game platform discussion

Hi there! As someone who participated in the "platform" discussion at WikiProject Video games, you are probably well aware of the complexities involved in the issue. Thus far we've discussed quite a few points but haven't come to any firm conclusions. One of the participants has suggested that we hold a !vote. Please share your thoughts on how we should proceed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#Starting a !vote. If you would like to !vote, one of the participants has already provided several options. Thanks for your help! CaseyPenk (talk) 16:24, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
