:Hello, Its because of Wikipedia's style guide for Trademarks and names ([[MOS:TM]]). It states that articles should ''"Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official""'' e.g. Ineos should be in lower case rather than using what appears to be the company's preferred style of INEOS.

OK I see what you mean. But INEOS is more of an acronym rather than just a preferred title. Standing for INspec Ethylene Oxide and Specialities, as seen in the company's most recent magazine.

Guitar Hero Edge 10

Hiya! I noticed you added Guitar Hero to the list of games that've gotten a 10 in Edge, sourcing it to this article. It seemed a bit off to me though (I don't remember it happening), so did a bit of digging, and both Metacritic and Gamerankings both have Edge giving it 8/10. I'm pretty sure the linked Edge article is a misprint, but thought I'd give you my reasoning. Fin© 09:34, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Game Maker vandalism

Well I see User:Jaymd 123 is at it again with readding the content to Game Maker literally copied verbatim from advertisements violating Wikipedia:COPYVIO. I have tried warning him again on his User_talk:Jaymd 123. I have also traced the IP address logged in before he registered that was making similar edits, it was Special:Contributions/86.177.1.229 and traces Edinburgh, UK and that is right near where YoYoGames the creator's of Game Maker are headquartered. Should we file a clerk check for possible sockpuppetry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.114.167.249 (talk) 17:32, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking care of True Crime

I'd like to thank you for taking the burden of not letting Slepping Dogs as a game in the True Crime series. Some users (although I have a major suspicion it is always the same user) keep on adding Sleeping Dogs. I have told the user multiple times to.discuss about status of Sleeping Dogs in True crime but to no avail. I think it will be better to have the article permanently locked by admins so only registered users can edit it. As you have said Sleeping Dogs is ofcourse related to but not a part of True Crime video game series. Also Sleeping Dogs has a franchise of it's own now.

Kinect Sports style

While Rare is physically based in the UK, they're owned by an American company and their website is rareusa.com. Additionally, all other Rare games I checked (with the exception of the Kinect Sports franchise, due to its vigilant maintenance) use the mdy format over dmy. It would seem to me that the articles' national ties (and that of Rare's games themselves) are thus much closer to America and its style standards than Britain's, so I kindly request that you undo your revert on Kinect Sports Rivals. czar · · 15:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The ownership of the company isn't an issue, (we would need to change all of Sony's external development companies in the US, UK and elsewhere if it was). Video game article's, just like books, follow the nationality of the author. Just because other articles about Rare's titles have been incorrectly created with US English/date format does not mean this article is incorrect or should be changed. The company's website is rare.co.uk, the rareusa.com website is actually the same website, the company page of the rareusa.com states "our custom-built rural HQ in the English Midlands.". Rare is a UK developer and therefore its articles should reflect this. I would be grateful if you do not revert my edits, however, should you still disagree with this, please open a discussion at WT:VG and ask the Wikipedia Video games project for its opinion. - X201 (talk) 15:50, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Right, I'm contending that Rare is based in the UK but follows American conventions in their titles, and not suggesting that any major overhaul is necessary for other devs. I also wasn't planning on reverting anything more than once, which is why I brought it here. I thought this would be an easy agreement, but since it isn't and I lack the time to pursue this further, I have to leave it be with your change. I am no longer watching this page—whisperback if you'd like a response czar · · 16:28, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the capitals title to non-capitals
