High Score (TV Series)

Re: this reversion, please advise on how to source that information. Brazilian Netflix (and also on some other South American countries) chose to change the name of the series without explanation or media statement, but they are indeed presenting the show as GDLK, not High Score. See attached screenshot.

Little Shop of Horrors

Re: this reversion, please advise your basis for the claim that the source is not reliable. Mainly, I want to confirm that you are not conflating the notable publication Metro Weekly (an LGBTQ publication in the Washington, DC region published online and in print for almost 30 years) and metro.co.uk, which is completely unrelated. The source is a first-person interview conducted by Metro Weekly with one of the principal actors of the LSOH film, and the source appears to me to be credible. Also note that I was reverting a removal of content with no explanation. Perhaps {{better source}} would be appropriate if you can identify an issue with Metro Weekly.

@General Ization: Thanks, I was not aware of that and undid my revision. --Masem (t) 01:24, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Half Life (series)

please advise why are removing this section "Half-life: The Freeman Chronicles" of the page with the reasoning that the sources are not good enough when other listed titles in the section have similar or NO SOURCES but have not been removed. It seem like there is some sort of bias here?

Beyond Black Mesa has NO SOURCES. I have put many into my listing including many from very reputable media outlets as well as links to the actual films showing that they exist. What other sources would you suggest that would make it ok in your book? Ijduncan (talk) 00:12, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ijduncan that i was asked by angusWOOF to combine this article into Half-life (series) rather than set up its own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ijduncan (talkcontribs) 00:15, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First off, based on the name of the director and your user name, there is likely a conflict of interest in that you are promoting your own film here. See WP:COI. We can't use primary sources and it is far overly detailed for what it is. --Masem (t) 01:06, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
so its too short for its own page according to angusWOOF (even though other series have similar pages) and too long for this page according to you. So what am i supposed to do? Why not edit it to what you feel the length should be rather than keep deleting the whole entry? The series exists just like all the others in the list.
Explain what conflict there is due to me being involved in the project? Its just me adding a note that this series that was made years ago exists and the actors that were involved. Ijduncan (talk) 17:30, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request for FA Review

I noticed you are listed as an FA mentor. Would you be so kind as to assist in reviewing the article Texas A&M University at the peer review page? Buffs (talk) 23:00, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On Hades (game) revert

Hi Masem, I'm contacting you with respect to this revert. I understand your point, and you are right it was already covered briefly in the Development section. Also, the references I added could have been improved. I still believe there should be something on Reception concerning minority representations in Hades though, since it has stirred debate and recognition, with two awards for appropriate representation (one by the International Game Developers Association). I would like to do another attempt, with better sources and including more minority representation issues (like the black Athena or Ares). Can you please let me know if I'm missing something? And, wouldn't it be better to mention these in Reception rather than Development? As an alternative, I can also add the awards to the award list and expand the Development mentions, without doing a subsection in Reception, although I thought it deserved its own space, since it's something notable. Thanks. Samer.hc (talk) 11:07, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ready Player One speculation

Look, the speculation about "a sequel in the works" is by the author himself, from an old source nearly 2 years ago from a less than speculation source to begin with. To mention it in the body is one thing, so present it as undeniable fact in the lead is simply misleading and smacks of both misinformation and fan-based wishful thinking. There isn't any direct, reliable source to corroborate the claim. Further adding doubt is the fact that major movie databases do NOT even list the alleged sequel in pre-production. You seemingly have been around long enough to know this. 2601:282:8100:9440:E023:B27F:BBB3:F492 (talk) 22:17, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, having delved deep into this, even Kline himself admits to speculation, alleging at best TWO YEARS AGO that a sequel is only possibly in "early development", which given the time since then (and the lack of any new sources since then) casts doubt that this has been properly green lit. Please stop engaging in what is called WP:GAMING, and WP:PAGE OWNERSHIP. The fact that we are even leaving that nonsense in the body at all is more than a compromise. Please learn to compromise as well. Peace2601:282:8100:9440:E023:B27F:BBB3:F492 (talk) 22:23, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
