Page name

While I like the Dragon Quest names over the Dragon Warrior ones, the norm is to use the translation name, whenever it exists. So this page should be Dragon Warrior Monsters (video game). Any thoughts? Icecypher 16:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, I just decided to split each individual game off from the main Dragon Quest Monsters page. I decided to follow the precedent agreed here and call it Dragon Quest Monsters. I don't mind what it is called though. – ARC Gritt^TALK 19:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to use Dragon Quest as the games' name everywhere, but still, I've been told many times the names used in the localizations. I'll add a topic on the talk page on Wikipedia:WikiProject Dragon Quest, a project you'd be more than welcome to join, BTW. Icecypher 17:15, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name in Europe

The article claimed (for some reason) that the game was called DQM in Europe. I don't know where the hell this person got that idea. I remember the game coming out here (in the UK) under the name DWM and I just checked Amazon.co.uk and it was. If it was called DQM in other European countries, please feel free to add that to the article. Accuracy is important to me. Liam Markham (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In germany, it was called Dragon Quest Monsters, I don't know about other european contries though... 70.188.164.6 (talk) 21:34, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Dwmscreen1.png

Image:Dwmscreen1.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

On Wikipedia, Original Research abounds

"Unlike in Pokémon, the player can use and battle up to three monsters at once; this leads to a larger use of strategy"[3].

This is not okay. The linked page verifies that 3 characters are used at once, but it does not state the opinion that this leads to deeper strategies. When you insert your own conclusions it's called original research and it's forbidden on Wikipedia. No, it doesn't matter if you think it's "obvious". No, it doesn't matter if you polled 5,000 players and they all agree. You don't get to state obvious opinions. You only get to state verifiable facts OR other people's opinions. You do not get to combine facts into your own opinion — TheBilly^(Talk) 17:31, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Verifable facts OR other peoples opinions you say? In that case (using your example) I do think it's fine if you polled 5,000 players and posted their consensus, don't you think? Just using your example but that's a bit contradictory there. 123.211.170.95 (talk) 15:15, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge request

I propose that merge Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry no Wonderland 3D to here. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines#Dealing with remakes, there are not so much development and reception information in 3D remake article.--Cyber defender 222 (talk) 10:55, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merged: no objection within 30 days.--Cyber defender 222 (talk) 08:18, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 31 March 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus (non-admin closure) — Dicklyon (talk) 04:28, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon Warrior Monsters → Dragon Warrior Monsters (video game) – Per the video game series article representing this subject, there have been at least three titles in this series that have been released in English under the "Dragon Quest Monsters" title (as opposed to "Dragon Warrior Monsters".) As seen in this discussion for the redirect Dragon Warrior, there is a good amount of confusion/interchanging of the terms "Dragon Quest" and "Dragon Warrior" in English when referring to any aspect of or related to the Dragon Quest video game series. With that being said, I propose that this move happen, and the the leftover redirect Dragon Warrior Monsters be redirected to the series article, Dragon Quest Monsters. Steel1943 (talk) 20:11, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: As with what happened to the above-referenced redirect Dragon Warrior, redirecting Dragon Warrior Monsters as proposed before fixing incoming links will result in incorrect links. (This shouldn't affect consensus in any way since links can be fixed, but I felt the need to point this out to this discussion's closer.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:14, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know. Sources I'm finding for "Dragon Warrior Monsters" seem to be referring to the first game, rather than the series or any other game.[1][2][3][4][5] I'm also not seeing what other games were released as "Dragon Warrior Monsters"?--Cúchullain ^t/c 18:18, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Cuchullain: I'd say "See Talk:Dragon Quest (video game)#Requested move" for a similar discussion. (Not sure if that discussion changes anything, but that's why I partially thought about starting this discussion.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:29, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I don't see evidence that the Game Boy game is in any way not the primary topic, based on searches. It is very easy to find the series article once readers realize they were using a nontraditional synonym, if it is indeed one. czar 15:11, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
