Development of Grand Theft Auto V

Hi czar. Sorry to bother you, but I'm not sure where else to turn with this. There is an edit war taking place at the Development of Grand Theft Auto V article (I am a big part of the problem, I'm ashamed to admit), and I don't like how it's playing out. Another editor, Mainline421, continues to claim that my edits are "disruptive" and that I am showing ownership, but fails to provide any reasoning as to how or why. Despite this, he continues to claim that the issue has been discussed on the talk page; when discussed on Mainline's talk page, still no proper reasoning was given. On more than one occasion, he has agreed to reach a sort of compromise between our opinions, retaining pieces of both our edits in order for the edit warring to stop, yet still continues to revert my edits entirely. I've also explained every one of my edits previously, but with no response. I'm a bit lost, and participating in edit wars is the one thing I don't want. If you could help in some way (even if it is just by telling me to stop), I would truly appreciate it. Thank you. – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 23:17, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

It's always best to bring an edit war to a more public forum—usually helps to diffuse any of the back-and-forth. WT:VG is typically a good venue. I left a note on the talk page and will keep an eye on it. A discussion of each individual point of contention is a logical next step. The article should revert to its last stable version while the new changes are discussed on its talk page, but I suggest that an uninvolved party (such as myself) be the one to make those changes (though involved parties can help identify the last stable version). My general advice/opinion in these situations is to ask whether each successive response is a step towards de-escalation. czar 23:40, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hitwicket

Hello Czar,

Our wiki page "Hitwicket" was recently marked for deletion as the article lacked significant coverage from reliable sources. Our game 'Hitwicket' is the most popular cricket management game in India & in a lot of cricket playing nations. We do have a lot of reliable sources to back up our significance. We were recently funded by Chennai Angels a month back & the news has even been updated on their wiki page as well (reference point 7) . Link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chennai_Angels

Please refer the following links which we want to add to our deleted page to provide coverage from reliable sources.

@Keertisingh25, here's what I can do: I could restore the page to a draft area where all of the unsourced content would have to be deleted and rewritten with citations to reliable sources. Alternatively, you can just start a draft and write fresh from the reliable sources. The article should not enter the main article space with unsourced content. Keep in mind that per our conflict of interest guidelines, you would need to declare the nature of your interest in the subject on the article's talk page. Most companies leave the writing of WP articles to unaffiliated editors. Re: the sources, I removed the duplicates from the list above and struck the sites that should not be used as sources. "Reliable" source means that it has a reputation for reliability, like The Hindu, not sportskeeda.com, which is a platform for self-publishing fans. Might there be more coverage of Octathorpe than Hitwicket still available? The majority of the above coverage is about the investment from Chennai Angels—it would seem that a natural place to start would be a paragraph about the investment process and rationale on Chennai's own page rather than a dedicated page for Hitwicket. czar 14:44, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello Czar, Please refer two additional links were in we were covered by The Business Line & Bangalore Mirror to talk about our game, its strategy & offline meet ups where users of Hitwicket have met each other to discuss the game, something very unique just to Hitwicket unlike other online games.

http://www.bangaloremirror.com/bangalore/others/Beyond-the-realm-of-online-gaming/articleshow/44881150.cms http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/blink/work/bl-ink-live-cricket-matches-virtual-cricket-and-cricket-based-mobile-apps/article6937357.ece

It would be good if you can restore the page to draft area & we will delete unsourced content & rewrite with citations to reliable sources.

PS - I'm digging the minimalist ambiance provided by that Zabriskie piece. I don't know him in particular, but I gained something of an appreciation for ambient music over my many hours of late-night reading during my school days. Sadly the mere presence of Wikipedia's sound clips seem to crash Firefox v3.6.28 for me every time so nobody using that browser can edit this page or any other with embedded sound clips. Why am I running such an out-of-date version of Firefox? Well it's the most advanced version that can operate on Mac OS X Tiger... You can mark my devotion to the ancient rickety non-touch-screen antique down to equal shares of nostalgia and laziness... -Thibbs (talk) 11:38, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

VG series reviews

I came across your edit to Module:Video game series reviews doing broken ref patrol this morning. The change to default status for GameRanking reviews caused them to disappear from a number of articles, and cite errors to pop up in those articles for unused refs.

Mentions not working?

Hey Czar, sorry to bother you, but you might know.... I've found two cases today, just back-checking my talk page contributions, where someone Pinged me and I didn't get a notification... any ideas why that might happen? The last mention that I got notified on actually was when you replied on the Desi article. -- ferret (talk) 22:25, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

@Ferret, did you get this one? And do you have diffs for the ones you missed? Not a bother at all. The ping templates have changed a few times without letting everyone know so there's still a bit of mystery. czar 22:51, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I got that one. The two diffs I know of are here, which looks like a bare user link (Should mention, yes?) and here (As well as the next diff). Maybe being edited interfered? -- ferret (talk) 23:01, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

These two didn't send because the author needs to sign in the same edit. In the first case, the editor added the ping in a subsequent edit but didn't sign it again (could have replaced their sig). In the second case, the editor used a nonexistent template redirect {{yo!}} and in their edit correcting the template (to {{yo}}) didn't sign their signature, so it didn't send. Both cases were fine in the end, but they just needed to resign their posts to actually send the ping. czar 23:28, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Didn't know that it was tied to signing. That actually makes a lot of sense. Need to keep it in mind for my own pinging. -- ferret (talk) 23:40, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

SNAFU Con

I respectfully have several issues with the movement of this article to Draft.

1. Primary source, if you are referring to animecons.com, parts of it are considered reliable by WikiProject Anime and manga. I do agree sourcing could be better on several parts, but I feel even with the sources you deemed "local", this article meets notability, weakly yes.
2. You also didn't even finish the cleanup work properly, several links still pointed to SNAFU Con's moved page.
3. A message on my talk page would have been a nice courtesy. It was rather unpleasant finding the article was moved with the message "uses mostly unreliable, primary, and local sources → not ready → send through AfC".
4. I would prefer to see this go to AFD. This article will more than likely get no work in draft and be deleted after whatever period that happens.

For the time I have restored the page and marked the page with notability. I look forward to working with you on this issue. Esw01407 (talk) 23:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

@Esw01407, when an editor adds content, the burden is on them to prove that the content is worth adding. I sent this back to draftspace because I don't think it would have passed Articles for Creation review, and that is the incubation space where an editor would walk through what it needs in order to stand on its own. I have no interest in taking it to AfD or deleting your work—I want to see it improved and we have a process for that. Please restore the draft and work on it there until another editor has reviewed it. czar 04:28, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Moving my page (Dragon Coins) to a draft

I recently saw you move my page dragon coins to a draft, it doesn't need to be a draft, I want other people to also work on the page so that the page won't be a stub. I am planning to revert it as making a draft of dragon coins won't help the it in anyway. Ae9000ae (talk) 10:25, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

@Ae9000ae, if you want help, you can reach out at a noticeboard like WT:VG, but the article in its current state is not ready for mainspace. It would need many more references from reliable, secondary sources. This all said, the burden is on the adding editor to make the article/contents presentable—articles, especially messy ones, do not magically de-stub. czar 16:59, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Actually it is ready for mainspace, I sourced it with help, also it provides information that is ready for mainspace, etc. Ae9000ae (talk) 19:36, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

An Articles for Creation reviewer will help you. WP requires significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources (?) and a draft with solely two Twitter refs and an IGN wiki ref will not be enough. czar 19:47, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Apple Music geography

I've been working on this section to bring it into line with the pre-existing geography sections on the Google Play Music, Spotify, and Rdio pages. Wouldn't that make sense? Or do you think we need to remove the geography sections from all those pages as well? --Akhenaten0 (talk) 18:23, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@Akhenaten0, the maps, as an illustration, can be justified if there are sources that discuss the service's international rollout, or to emphasize which countries or regions do not have the service. But, if anything, the sources tend to discuss rollout by region (e.g., launched in U.S., Europe, next year launched in South America and Russia, etc.), which the prose should summarize. An image could help with visualizing the phases/years of proliferation, but it puts more emphasis on the countries that display the clearest at a small resolution. In any event, WP doesn't harbor indiscriminate lists of countries so those should be removed from each of those articles. czar 18:47, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

So is the solution, perhaps, (1) to summarize to first the total number, then based on "most of" by continent, and stick the rest in a footnote like in Comparison of on-demand streaming music services? Or (2) should the availability be linked in the infobox as in the Google Play Music article? Also, (3) is there any place for the image in the article? Maybe just floating earlier on? Finally, (4), should we then cut the lists out of the Google Play Music and Spotify pages? --Akhenaten0 (talk) 20:58, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure the total number matters as much as reflecting what the sources say. If the sources give a number, we can cite them—ideally a source that lists all the countries would be best for readers who are interested. But ultimately we're an encyclopedia and shouldn't be the place someone is looking to check for Apple Music coverage (though we can link to a site that has the info). I wouldn't recommend getting into an original research breakdown of continent-based coverage, but the map visually shows that info, if that's what you're making. Geographic coverage should fit in the overview of the service, or next to info on its rollout. I personally think the image would be fine—a nice visualization of something that would be laborious in prose—but I think the first priority is scrapping the indiscriminate lists. czar 21:37, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Is this ready to be mainspaced?

Hi, could you please take a look at my "draft" for SimplePlanes? It's located at User:Anarchyte/simpleplanes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchyte (talk • contribs) 11:25, 3 January 2016‎ (UTC)

Hey @Anarchyte, nice work, but I don't think it's ready yet. While it's good that all claims are sourced, it should have more review coverage. (I'd shoot for a three as an absolute minimum.) The lack of coverage for this year-old game would indicate that it's not particularly notable... Also is there really no better source to replace that Steam ref? The article might be best off repurposed into one about the dev (Jundroo), wherein all of their games can be discussed (each with their one review apiece). And I'd recommend tagging the article with {{AFC submission}} and sending it through that AFC peer review process when the time comes. czar 16:56, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the response czar. So if I add another review (I found one I might be able to use) and if I add another reference for the steam greenlight, it'd be fine? I didn't want it to go through AFC because that can take months and I'd rather get 1 person who knows a lot about WP:VG to take a look. Anarchyte 00:53, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Also, would this be usable? [1] It mentions the popularity on Steam. Anarchyte 01:07, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

@Anarchyte, you'll want to use sources with a reputation for accuracy (reliable sources). WPVG keeps a list of generally good sources at WP:VG/RS and you can use the custom Google search to search them all at once. So Android Police and One Angry Gamer/Blog Job would not be reliable for statements of fact. GameZebo, 148apps, and Hardcore Gamer reviews are all right together, but they're smaller sites and, overall, a weaker case for a dedicated article. (The case would be stronger if the article was for the developer with a section on each game because then the sources for the other games would us more cause for an article that covers them all.) Perhaps try the dev's website as a primary source for basic statements like the Greenlight stuff. By the way, AfC doesn't take that long. Most submissions I've watched recently were addressed in hours or, at most, a few days. czar 03:17, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, I added a primary source from the Jundroo blog for the greenlight thing and I added 2 more reviews (not counting the Hardcore Gamer one you supplied), one of which being written in Dutch. I think it covers the notability guidelines now and at the worst would require a refimprove tag. I could possibly make an article for SimpleRockets but it seems too difficult to find sources for SimplePhysics. As for the company (Jundroo LLC) all the results when I google "Jundroo" come up are for SimplePlanes and SimpleRockets. Anarchyte 08:37, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

The idea is that the Jundroo article would be justified by the coverage of its games (Rockets, Physics, Planes) that might not stand as articles on their own. czar 08:51, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

MOTHER 3

Now I don't really want to be rude but I feel like you have a little bit too tight grip on MOTHER 3, it feels like you are not really improving on bad edits and are just reverting it. I feel like you are really discouraging people to improve on the article.--Mpo9 (talk) 19:05, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

@Mpo9, if there's an edit that you think needs discussion, the standard practice is to bring it to discussion on the article's talk page. I don't think anything out of the ordinary is happening on Mother 3—the article is quite complete as written. czar 19:40, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Building Up School Zone

Hello, I am under the impression that the Draft:School Zone Interactive article is currently in the melting point as it is. My research tells me more about the "School Zone" organisation than the actual software division. I believe it might convenient to merge and what I have written with a new article on "School Zone Publishing Company" itself. Writing an article about a company is very new to me, so if you can contribute or find other suited wikipedians for the article, it would be of great help. In the mean time I will dig up as much information about the Software division as I can. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Deltasim (talk) 16:40, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

@Deltasim, WT:VG can help with digging up video game-specific sources, but otherwise you're likely best off with databases such as HighBeam that index old newspapers and magazines. WP:TWL has more info on editors with access to different databases, but anyone with access to a university library will have online access too. This doesn't mean that there will be enough stuff to write an article about the company, but you can try. In any event, it's better to keep the article in draftspace until it has enough sources to be ready for primetime. czar 17:00, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

ZMR page redirected back to En Masse Entertainment page

Hi Czar. I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this, but I noticed that the page I created for the ZMR online game had been removed and now redirects back to the En Masse Entertainment page. I was not informed of this directly and given no time to rectify any issues before it happened, so I'm unsure what the problem was so I can try to rectify it, nor whether if I do try to create a better version of the page if it will simply get deleted automatically again. I assume it was removed because of length and relevance. I had done this page in a hurry and had planned to return to it and improve it, but now with it gone with no comment or warning, I'm unsure of the best way to move forward. Thanks for any help or direction you can provide. Baraqorn (talk) 17:15, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

@Baraqorn, not deleted, but redirected. I restored it to Draft:ZMR if you want to work on it there. Remember that dedicated articles require significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) Otherwise they're best covered in their parent article (in this case, En Masse Entertainment). I noticed that you've added references from unreliable blogs in the past, so I would encourage you to look through the vetted list of sources at WP:VG/RS and try the accompanying video game reliable sources custom Google search. And do you have any affiliation with En Masse? If so, our policy is to disclose the potential conflict of interest on the related talk pages. czar 08:24, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for all your help. I will work on improving the draft. I am affiliated with En Masse, so will make sure to tag the talk page with that information. Is there a template for doing that? Baraqorn (talk) 18:42, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

@Baraqorn, usually editors leave a talk page message detailing the nature of their conflict of interest (COI) connection as well as their familiarity with the WP:COI guidelines. And it's good to add {{Connected contributor}} atop the talk page too. czar 05:45, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Category:A-Class indie game articles

Should this category be deleted? You created it in 2014 but the project doesn't use A-class anymore. CSD doesn't apply to project categories so I thought it'd be quicker to just ask you to delete it rather than CFDing it. --The1337gamer (talk) 12:38, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

@The1337gamer, indeed. Done. czar 15:47, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Berenstain Bears (Atari 2600 game)

I am wondering why Draft:Berenstain Bears (Atari 2600 game) was moved to draft-class. The entry was fairly detailed for a new article (better than most stub-class entries, for sure) and included references in every section. This is a very rare and valuable game - as well as one with historical import. Please advise. Darb02 (talk) 16:17, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

@Darb02, it's in the edit summary—there aren't enough sources and it would need more in order to pass an AfC (new article) review. Dedicated articles require significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) A place to start would be a video game reliable sources custom Google search and then any print magazine coverage. MobyGames usually lists a few leads for print reviews, but even that came up dry. In any event, it's best to merge and expand from a parent topic rather than leaving the page to linger with a single secondary source (though AtariAge may not be reliable itself). czar 16:23, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Uniana sources in Korean

Hi CZAR, Have you tried Google search for Uniana's name in Korean? I even found reliable images unexpectedly. Just copy paste 유니아나 not just Google but other useful search engines, too. Parrothead1983 (talk) 18:31, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

@Parrothead1983, did you find anything in specific, like articles about the company itself? czar 18:33, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps these look like plenty. One of them dates back to last June.
