Wikiproject Video games Newsletter survey

Hello Roberth! I'm conducting a feature for the video games newsletter similar to that of a survey. I'm going to ask users their opinions on a specific matter and highlight unique and common answers to determine consensus on a subject. Your input would be very valuable, alongside others, to help answer this question.

The question is: How do you determine what makes a video game character notable enough for their own page? Do you follow pre-existing guidelines or have your own opinions on the matter?

Lists of cancelled games

Hi, I'm concerned that your continued attempts, sandboxing, and creations of lists of cancelled games (really, any lists of games), is getting to the point of disruption.

It would probably be a good idea to stop creating those. This is a friendly note, but if you continue, you may end up topic banned from lists of games, and possibly all video games and lists. --Izno (talk) 03:55, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno:*sigh* Oh well, I guess that day would had to come eventually. I'll delete the current list I have on my sandbox, which wasn't even going to be its own article (i was doing the 32X list to later integrate it into the main 32X game list).

Game Machine charts

Hi KGAMR. Great work with the Game Machine arcade charts! Thanks to your work, I've been taking an interest in arcade game charts lately. However, one issue I've noticed is that you usually wrote something along the lines of "Xth most successful arcade game of the year". However, the charts are not referring to the entire year, but only to individual months (or half-months more specifically). I've corrected a few articles to say "Xth most successful arcade game of the month". However, there are too many articles to correct. It would be great if you could look at articles you've previously edited and make this correction yourself. I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks. Maestro2016 (talk) 16:45, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get to it one of these days... Roberth Martinez (talk) 17:01, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The magazine was published every two weeks, and the list is measuring general popularity. The magazine surveyed arcade owners who responded with what are the most "popular" games in their arcades. It's probably most accurate to say "X game was listed as the Xth most popular game in Japanese arcades on a biweekly survey published by Game Machine on DATE"...or something like that... TarkusAB^talk/contrib 19:15, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Monthly charts?

So is it confirmed that these aren't yearly charts at all? There are just too many games that claim to be the 3rd biggest game of the year, etc. It's highly midleading. Should I just remove whenever I see it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.189.171 (talk) 22:11, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

92.25.189.171 - You could change the text as TarkusAB suggested. The Game Machine references are used to demonstrate the game's overall popularity in Japan. It's just a screw up I did when I placed those references, since I don't read Japanese very well... Roberth Martinez (talk) 22:19, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They are biweekly rankings, not annual. They reflect current game "popularity" as collected through arcade owner surveys. I wouldn't say remove it, but reword it to be accurate when you come across it. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 04:05, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thunder Force Gold Pack

Thanks for creating that page! I'm not that big of a Thunder Force fan but I had created a draft a ways back that I never got around to finishing. It's of significantly better quality than your previous pages, too, which I'm very pleased with. Namcokid 47 06:18, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Namcokid47:I like Thunder Force II and IV so that was the main motivation for making the draft. Thanks for the comment! Roberth Martinez (talk) 06:30, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Citations barnstar

	The Nintendo Barnstar
	You are a fellow hard core citation spelunker. For deep diving into ye olden archives for video game citations, I dub thee most excellent. More paper keeps getting digitized so may the dead trees keep bobbing to the surface of the blackened deep, and may machine translation have mercy upon us gaijin. Our princess is always in another castle though, huh?

@Smuckola:Thanks man! I appreciate it. Roberth Martinez (talk) 19:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Covers

Hello! I wanted to discuss something with you regarding Akai Katana. You have switched the NA cover with a JP arcade cover, which I reverted to how it was, due to my edit comment (we are editing on English Wikipedia). If you wish, you may revert me again, and I won't oppose. Similar thing seems to be happening with Arcana Heart (video game), which has a NA cover for the PS2 version. Your comment about this matter is highly appreciated, as I feel we shouldn't use foreign covers unless it's needed (for Japan-only releases for example).

Also, fantastic work on so many new articles! The depth you are reaching for to catch every source possible covering those particular games...just wow. Kudos, and keep doing your thing! Regards, Jovanmilic97 (talk) 13:17, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jovanmilic97:I know both titles have their NA cover arts but since both titles were originally arcade titles released in Japan, i felt it was right to upload their respective arcade flyers but that does not mean that I don't like your work. I hope you understad my reasoning. (P.S.: IIRC, there's a line somewhere in Wikipedia that states that the original cover of a game should be used no matter the region where it came from [i.e. the Japanese Akai Katana arcade flyer]) (P.S.S.: i had a brainfart when writing this reply but i forgot to also say the fact that i upload the original cover of an article doesn't mean that I don't like the work of other editors that upload alternative covers) Roberth Martinez (talk) 14:39, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Help with a draft

Hey! Awesome to see that you're still working to expand the Spanish game coverage on WPVG. It's already so much better than it was a couple of years back, but every little bit helps.

Unfortunately, I'm not very active at the moment. Work has eaten up all of my editing time this year. (Looking at my contributions, I see I've only edited twice since February!) I don't plan to stop editing forever, so we'll see when I can make time for it again. That said, I don't expect it will be any time soon. I'll just have to wish you luck with the Carlos Sainz draft—maybe someone else on WPVG would be open to help? JimmyBlackwing (talk) 03:28, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me rescue Espgaluda's article?

Hello, I noticed the great work you did bringing back the article on ESP Ra.De.. So I was wondering if you could lend me a hand with Espgaluda which was deleted 5 years ago. I added some new references under reception and refideas on the talk page to help remove some of the cruft in the gameplay section. Let me know if you'd be down. Jotamide (talk) 16:08, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jotamide:Sure, why not? Roberth Martinez (talk) 16:41, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thank you very much! Jotamide (talk) 16:49, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, my bad. I just noticed you had a revised Espgaluda article on your draft space. Jotamide (talk) 03:21, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject Video games Newsletter survey

I'm conducting another survey for the Wikiproject Video games Newsletter. If you could leave your thoughts on the matter it would be greatly appreciated. Every response will be compiled into a MOS-Esque answer that balances the thoughts of our top contributors. You're one of them! The question is as follows:

What would you consider the requirements of making a video game series article? What about franchise articles?

If you would like to respond, please ping me here and write your reply. I'll handle the rest. You didn't respond to the last question, but it's worth a shot to check one more time. Panini!^🥪 14:54, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Panini!:What i would consider the requirements of making a video game series article? Hmmm... i would say only one and that would be your knowledge and/or interest you have in a particular series. If you're doing it without any passion or knowledge for that particular series then don't try doing it. For franchise articles, try to throw everything at a wall and see what sticks. I would also apply the same logic i described earlier as well... Roberth Martinez (talk) 16:07, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Potential request for help and advice

Hi, I don't want to much bother (or write to much) on friendly notice. If you can, could you investigate the edits made by unregistered user with accounts 141.136.245.131 and 89.164.199.18 reverted by user FMSky. The edits made by former are I think well made, constructive, analitical and fair but with some mistakes of course; FMSky's edits are possibly result of vandalism and unfairness (and violation of some rules potentially), while the former's aim is to make a correct grammar mistakes (comas, colons, duplicate words (and numbers)) and to make texts comprehensible, smooth and, in some cases, some shortening and so on. The topic is about video game titles (sections Gameplay, Development and Reception, the latter probably not in all articles). I know you are not administrator but if you can check it out; if it is vandalism, then possible revert to all or partial. I went to another user to talk but was mistake (little edits about 40), while you have a lot. Please also refrain from bad unregistered users bias - not all unregistered are all bad, while others can be fair and honest; it is also for registered (some good, some bad). In addition, I also respect some Wiki rules, even though some of them I am not agreedable with them too much, just calm opinion. You can delete message freely, but before this please read it if you can. If there is another one who can help and understand, well thank you. Peace.
