Attention Blackwing

Please find my address to the editors of the Megatokyo comic article contributors on the discussion page, as it mostly pertains to you.

Thanks

Hey Black, thank you for cleaning up my Pirogoeth information. -- Psi edit 18:40, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I've been waiting for a decent reason to start editing the thing, anyway, since it was just a huge mess that I couldn't figure out how to fix. Your edit started me off, so I should probably be thanking you. JimmyBlackwing 18:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The following page failed AFD. I archived it here in case you wish to keep it. -- Mostly Rainy 06:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rigism

Rigism is a satirical philosophy created in the 21st century by fans of the computer game Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. The philosophy possesses a set of Ten Commandments (known as Rigmandments), and a "Book of Rigism."

The followers of Rigism believe in becoming "Winner," a physical state which was inspired by the "You're Winner" victory screen in the game. People who enjoy or praise Big Rigs are considered Winner, while those who dislike it are referred to as "Not Winner" or "Loser," both used in adjective form.

You've marked the page with the "tone" warning. Can you help clean it up? That's why I suspected the mark was in bad faith (though it seems you mean well), since simply marking without also either a) explaining on the talk page what you mean or b) trying to clean up some instances of bad tone isn't very useful. I've taken care of some (I didn't notice the emoticon before, good catch). If you see more, edit! :) And please, remember to use the talk page next time, all right?

Summer of '42

I have gone over your concerns about the Summer of '42 FAC debate, and believe they should now all be addressed. I respectfully ask that you reconsider making a support vote now, if the changes are to your satisfaction.Mistergrind 20:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

networking for copy-editors

The red-button bad article comprises one perfect sentence. What's bad about it? Seems to sum up the topic well enough until expansion.

The article is not my area, so I can only suggest that Deckiller, ChrisTheDude, MarkBuckles, Seb Patrick, and Ryu Kaze. Check out their interests and histories: if they're unwilling to help directly, perhaps they can point you to people who will. Keep a list of the good people you come across for future collaboration. Tony 08:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll look into asking them. As for the bad article button, it is actually Special:Random, so the article you get isn't necessarily bad every single time. The random article feature usually leads to extremely bad articles, however, and as such the button will normally "work." JimmyBlackwing 10:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, JB. I'll try to help you out with a copyedit of the article, sure. It isn't my field of expertise to be honest with you (I had heard of Megatokyo but never really looked at it before your FAC), but maybe I can help nonetheless. I certainly hope so, as I think it's a well done and informative article so far. I think Deckiller would definitely be someone to ask for help as well. While I don't know if he's read Megatokyo, he's a great copyeditor. I never nominate an article for FA without getting input from him first. Ryu Kaze 14:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So far, I've thoroughly copyedited the lead, rearranging some info, trimming some wording where necessary, and cutting some stuff that didn't seem to have a source (for instance, the comic's title being a reference to Bubblegum Crisis; this is, apparently, a point of contention, as the article for the anime suggests that the "Megatokyo" domain name wasn't chosen for that reason). I'm not finished yet. I might not be able to go through the entire thing, but I'll certainly do at least one more section. Ryu Kaze 16:48, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great job, thanks. I'll see if Deckiller wants to help, too. JimmyBlackwing 20:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I've gone through the Reception section as well now, and made quite a few adjustments. The most notable changes probably involved a significant amount of the content in the New York Times quotes that was unnecessary. I trimmed it to just that which related to the idea being expressed. If I get time, I might do a little more, but in either case, good luck with the article. Ryu Kaze 20:49, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was a huge help. Thanks! JimmyBlackwing 22:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I've now copyedited the lead, as well as the Themes, History and Recception sections. I dare not attempt to tweak the character and story sections, though, without more familiarity with this work. As it stands, the Themes section was on the edge enough probably. I think L33tminion handled most of the other stuff already anyway, and now Deckiller is going back over it and everything else, so you should be good on copyedits. I'm going to make a comment in this article's FAC that I've made an attempt at copyediting the article and that others are doing so as well. Once more, great job with researching all of this stuff and building a strong basis. I found the article to be very informative and interesting. Ryu Kaze 00:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pity, I was about to change to "support". Nice effort, anyway. Tony 02:25, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It will probably be renominated soon, since it was so close that time. JimmyBlackwing 02:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, mate. It had really shaped up. I'm sure it will make it next time. Ryu Kaze 20:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Final Fantasy V

Hey, I wanted to let you know that Final Fantasy V is complete in terms of the things you wanted fixed. Let use know if it deserves GA status. We are building toward FA, but your comments have been extremely helpful :) Judgesurreal777 04:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Megatokyo

So, how's the reconstruction coming? Looking over the talk page briefly, it appears you guys are trying to work out any kinks before resubmitting it. A good plan. Especially if you can get most of Monocrat's concerns alleviated, since his was the biggest objection during the FAC.

By the way, on the subject of the origin of the name "Megatokyo" which I briefly discussed with you before, I noticed this on the talk page. Without a published source to confirm that he said this, though (unfortunately, we can't use anything from Wikipedia itself as a source), we're still flying in the dark, and we'd need it to be confirmed that this is actually Rodney Caston. Ryu Kaze 03:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I haven't seen a source for the name's origin besides the Talk page comment, but I'm not discounting the possibility of its existence. Sounds like something to bring up on the article's Talk page for help on finding a source - I'll do that a bit later. As for work on the article, my lack of Wikipedia activity recently seems to have slowed things down a bit, though what is happening looks to be going smoothly. I doubt the next FAC will go as badly as the last one. JimmyBlackwing 19:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck with the new nomination! I've thrown in my support once again. Ryu Kaze 14:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

		The Barnstar of Diligence

A few ideas for Halo: Combat Evolved

I have Halo: Combat Evolved on my watchlist and have been silently seeing the improvements that you've been making. Good work so far. I have a few suggestions, some of which you might have already thought of:

An Audio section on the soundtrack and Marty O'Donnell's goals and ideas would be good. I think that he once said that he was aiming for a score that sounded "ancient, alien, and epic".
You might be interested in working into the Reception section this peer-reviewed article on Halo: Halo and the Anatomy of the FPS. It's a bit hagiographic, but it does contain an acknowledgment that the later levels were repetitive, if I recall correctly.
Not sure how much you want to spend on this, or where it might fit in, but a mention of Halo-based machinima (Warthog Jump's exploitation of the physics engine; Red vs Blue) would probably be warranted.

Keep up the good work, and let me know if you want any copyediting help. I'd be glad to look it over before FAC. — TKD::Talk 13:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good ideas, I'll try to work those in. And thanks for the copyedit offer - I'll gladly accept once I've finished making the article comprehensive. JimmyBlackwing 21:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to take a look this weekend. — TKD::Talk 11:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. JimmyBlackwing 11:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Metal Gear Solid 3

Thanks for cleaning up the prose in that article. Some of those sections were written in their entirity by me and it's hard for me to copyedit something I originally wrote. Even though it means more work for me, thanks also for those cite needed tags - better unsourced statements get sorted out now as opposed to during an FAC.
Just on a brief note in case you missed it, I removed your weasel words tag. I think it's reasonable to interpret "We heard many voices from fans" as "many fans". -- Steel 23:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. And I only assumed it was a weasel word because there was no citation before—now that there is one, it's fine. JimmyBlackwing 23:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
