[edit] Please stop using talk pages such as Talk:Anita Sarkeesian for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article; not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:06, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
Actually I removed "general discussion of the topic",[1] answered with "discussion related to improving the article". --Niemti (talk) 16:21, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
The image is not appropriate for use, in the article's current state, as the image does not depict anything that is not either A. depicted in another image, or B. explained through text. Additionally, the caption text has no more relevance to this image than any other image of her; less so, in fact, when you consider that the text deals with them in the context of video games. The comic itself is not notable either (at least not so much that it needs to be shown); as such, including it seems extraneous to me.
As for Mileena, I feel as though the image used right now is not as notable as a Playboy image; Sexy Mileena is an art done by Midway in their own game, while appearing in Playboy is a noteworthy magazine featuring her in a non-trivial way. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 09:44, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- In Playboy they posted a generic character art (actually even fully clothed, this one as far as I remember - well, "fully clothed" for Mileena's game standards), which was not famous, it was just there ("Sexy Mileena" was made for this purpose, got rejected for some reason). --Niemti (talk) 09:47, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- Fair enough, though I still stand that an image of Mileena, plus commentary on what Sexy Mileena depicts, gives readers an adequate understanding of what the image looks like. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 09:51, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- Btw, a similar story (Playboy rejecting Mileena pic made for them, using a generic picture instead) was later with that pic. --Niemti (talk) 09:55, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Articles on Wikipedia should be informative and this image shows useful information about the topic. So IMHO removing the picture isn't a good idea. Thanks, Sir Lothar (talk) 11:55, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
No it's not "useful information about the topic" and it's a good idea. Only 1 screenshot is allowed per game, at most 2 if they really relay something. --Niemti (talk) 12:11, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- "Only 1 screenshot is allowed per game". Please provide some links to this rule then. Thanks, Sir Lothar (talk) 12:28, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Sure:

Now you can enlighten how me how a title screen provides "critical commentary" or maybe any more "identification" than the gameplay screenshot. --Niemti (talk) 12:34, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Sarkeesian
[edit]Niemti, I implore you to stop making comments at Anita Sarkeesian like you've been making. Whether or not you realize it, many of these posts contain serious violations of Wikipedia policies and guidelines, as you've been told multiple times now. I would hate to see the issue escalate, but I'm afraid that's going to be required if things don't improve. Thanks, Cúchullain t/c 14:49, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit war
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/30px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mortal Kombat: Rebirth. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 79.123.86.25 (talk) 21:00, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Problems with GA nominations
[edit]Hello. There has recently been a discussion noting concerns about the quality of the prose in some of the articles you have nominated for GA class. As you stated that you are not from an English-speaking country, I would like to recommend that you post a request at WP:GOCE/REQ for one of the volunteers at the Guild of Copy Editors to work on and improve the prose of your articles before they are reviewed by a GAN reviewer. I think this would go a long way in improving the quality of your submissions and increase the chances of a successful and expeditious GAN. Please consider my recommendation, and I wish you luck in your nominations. --Odie5533 (talk) 03:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- The quality of the volunteers at the Guild of Copy Editors, I'm not sure about it. --Niemti (talk) 09:02, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- That's definitely a valid concern, but I have seen some amazing work by some of the GOCE volunteers. Perhaps if you post a new request, a different editor may be able to effect more improvements. --Odie5533 (talk) 00:22, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Using "You"
[edit]I noticed in Battletoads (video game) that you used the word "you" several times in the gameplay section. Per WP:YOU it is actually discouraged that you write articles in the second-person, it produces a non-encyclopedic game guide-like feel and it makes the assumption that the reader is going to be playing the game. Hope you hear me well. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:11, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
I didn't write it. --Niemti (talk) 17:13, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- You introduced them in this edit. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:15, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Nope, I just copy-pasted it in this edit. When I say "I didn't write it", I mean "I didn't write it". --Niemti (talk) 17:20, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Where did you copy-paste it from? Did you cite the original source? --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:21, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Battletoads, and no. --Niemti (talk) 17:25, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- I just did some research, I'm finding snippets of the text verbatim in many other areas, such as here. It looks like a lot of this article is actually the result of plagiarism by other editors. I'm going to have to tag the article because of this. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:31, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Probably ratherIt was Wikia that plagiarized Wikipedia (note all the red links that don't lead anywhere anymore). --Niemti (talk) 17:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)- If you want I can help rewrite the article over the next few days so that it isn't so close the other source. I'll even aim to get it to B class. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:38, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

- Hi. I saw you added the image back to the article. I had removed the image because I thought it was against the WP:NFCC policy criteria #8. My problem with the image is twofold: the NFUR is rather lacking, particularly for criteria #8 where the Non-free Use Rationale (NFUR) for the image states, "Development section of the article." The NFUR purpose is supposed to be a bit more detailed than simply where it will be used, and it should go into why it will be used. The other problem I am seeing with the image is that it isn't really integrated into the text at all. If the concept art is important to the development discussion, then the text should somehow show that it is important, or at least the caption should make some claim to the importance of the image in discussing the development of the game. I'm not against the idea of having concept art on a video game article, I just would like to see that the WP:NFCC policy is met by providing a reason for the inclusion of the non-free artwork. I hope you can understand where I am coming from with this, and I did not intend to appear to be removing the image for no reason. --Odie5533 (talk) 13:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Command & Conquer (1995 video game) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Odie5533 (talk) 23:40, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

GAN for Mortal Kombat
[edit]I just did the review for the first, saw your post and will wait on the second one till you do your rewriting. Just ping me when ready, I'll come back to them each day to double check though. I know GAN is a nasty process of waiting and a random draw of which reviewer you get. Do not despair though, Tomcat7 may be rude to me, but I think my notes on Mortal Kombat are fair and its really only a few mirrorings and a couple of broken refs to fix. I'm not the most experienced GAN reviewer, but I certainly do check things through. Mortal Kombat was a game I played, didn't really like much, but I still enjoy the history of such games and you presented it quite well. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:57, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Splitting content
[edit]Hi. I noticed you split content from Mortal Kombat II into another article, Home versions of Mortal Kombat II. I support this change and it definitely improves the article, but in the future please remember to write in an edit summary that the content was copied from the original article. This is necessary because the license Wikipedia uses require a trail of authors. Something as simple as "Split from Mortal Kombat II at 21:25 Dec. 12, 2012; see that page for a list of authors" would suffice. I have added a null edit to the history of the page for this one, but if you need to copy text to another page in the future such as spinning off another section, please remember to add a short edit summary indicating where the text came from. Thank you. --Odie5533 (talk) 22:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

DOA 5
[edit]Looking at DOA 5's GAN and seeing it not having much discussion, the review may have to end as a fail. Would it be alright it I close it. I mean you can take the article to WP:GAR if you are not satisfied by the results. GamerPro64 16:34, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
What "discussion", now? Like, between me and who, exactly? If you want to pick it up, do. --Niemti (talk) 16:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- I can pick it up. I just passed Mortal Kombat 2 after you did all those changes, a few minor typos and you added a bit of OR in your re-write which I removed. Otherwise, you have done a great job addressing the issues and improved it quite a bit. I could take a shot at that other one. I'll have more time in the next few days to do articles, this week was a wash sadly. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:14, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- "OR" was from the book. Sure, go on. --Niemti (talk) 12:03, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- If it was in the book, just mention it in the article, it will count that way and it won't be tagged as OR then. It can be replaced, sorry for calling it WP:OR. Now, I did a detailed review to address quite a few issues. Its going to need a lot of work. Once you tighten the matter up, I'll re-run through the rest of the issues that remain and go from there. Most of the issues could be handled with a rewrite of much of the prose and a few general comments I made. You got a few deadlinks, but the problem is the prose. It is really the killer right now of the article. It reads like GameInformer and that's a problem. Just check out the GA page for more.ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:43, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

- Sorry, you are still mixing it up. de:XCOM: Enemy Unknown covers the 2012 fireaxis game , de:XCOM the old 1994 one (and the rest of series). cheers Shaddim (talk) 22:04, 22 December 2012 (UTC) PS: Ah, now I get you. The page de:XCOM page covers the series AND the individual game. cheers Shaddim (talk) 22:05, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
THE X-COM ARTICLES ARE ABOUT THE SERIES. All of them, in all languages. And the game named XCOM isn't "the old 1994 one", it's "the new 2013 one" (that's besides "de:XCOM" simply not existing, too). Jesus. Christ. --Niemti (talk) 22:14, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
- Not in german WP, there is for the 1994 XCOM/UFO: Enemy Unknown game and the complete series (beside the 2012 fireaxis game) only the de:X-COM page. Shaddim (talk) 22:23, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
Cool. Now go and make more articles, then come back and link them when they exist. Oh, and don't make any more false links. --Niemti (talk) 22:42, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you are talking about: while I made a typo in this discussion (XCOM instead of X-COM), I don't made a typo in the original edit. de:X-COM was and is linking to the correct page in deWP (I don'r follow your "wrong page argumentation"). whatever, no good reason to dispute about, so near to christmas ;) cheers Shaddim (talk) 23:06, 22 December 2012 (UTC) PS: please, do comments on edits, every time you don't, a kitten dies.

IP hopping vandal
[edit]Thanks for bringing this incident to ANI. It happened again, so I've had Devil May Cry 4 semi-protected for a week, although was declined on the other two articles.

Kasumi (DOAD AUS New classification)
[edit]Hello! I noticed you changed the quote for the new(er) M classification of DOAD here. I know your edit highlights the change more, but I still feel it is best to use the exact quote from the ACB's website. (Second reference after the quote) (However, I'm not sure that's what exactly appears on the box...) What do you think? Thanks, DarkToonLink (talk) 00:04, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Because it's irrevelant. Actually all of the new rating is irrevelant for the subject (Kasumi), because the whole "chil porn" idiocy was quietly dropped and the only change was from "mild violence" to "violence". --Niemti (talk) 01:27, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Moshe Friedman
[edit]Self-proclaimed Rabbi who visited Iran, Denies the Holocaust, helps Hamas. Can you help with edits on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshe_friedman Tellyuer1 (talk) 18:10, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Niemti,
Our difference of opinion as to whether this article should be split not withstanding, you have deleted a large amount of the above article with the edit summary "(Undid revision 531476673 by Op47 (talk))". I did not add the material that you have deleted, so the edit summary is incorrect. I am sure this is not what you intended, would you have another look please. Also, in future would you discuss articles on their talk page not mine. That way, anyone can see what is going on and can have a chance to join the discussion. Op47 (talk) 21:17, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
I see, you were making the split. You were warned above about this earlier on your talk page, when you make splits or copy content then you must attribute the copy correctly. Now can you please review Template:Copied and add the templates to this article and the article you have created as appropriate. Op47 (talk) 12:47, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Yay!
[edit]We did it! :D I have to say, it was a lot of fun when we first worked on building up the Kony 2012 article way back when. Though you should have let me know about the GA nom beforehand, I could have jumped in to help sooner. ;3 But, it worked out. I hope you don't mind if I take partial credit for the GA and list it on my userpage. Oh...were you planning on going all the way to FAC with it? We might need to do a lot of prep work beforehand, if so. SilverserenC 11:06, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Please stop (bioshock)
[edit]Why are you removing categories that are completely valid for the games and the series? --MASEM (t) 03:26, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Normally articles should not appear both in a category and a "parent" of that category. Seriously, you're long enough here to know such things already. --Niemti (talk) 03:29, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Wrong, see WP:DUPCAT. It would be one thing if we had "BioShock" and "Rapture series of BioShock", as the latter would always be under the former. But the categories like Alternative History and FPS aren't Bioshock exclusive things, and thus DUPCAT applies. --MASEM (t) 03:35, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Please also BRD - you should not be reverting my reverts until consensus is reached. --MASEM (t) 03:36, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Well, soundtrack is there and it's not a game. "But the categories like Alternative History and FPS aren't Bioshock exclusive things, and thus DUPCAT applies" - I don't follow you. --Niemti (talk) 03:38, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- If you look at WP:CAT and WP:DUPCAT (on the same page), they explain what you said, you would normal not include the parent cat when you include the child one. So, again, if we had "BioShock" and "Rapture series of BioShock", I would only include the latter on the pages releated to BioShock 1 and 2 and associated characters; the relation to BioShock the series is implicit from that. But the categories of things like Alternate History games and FPS games are non-dilutive relative to BioShock, and thus inclusion in both the BioShock category and the genre category is acceptable per DUPCAT. --MASEM (t) 03:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Seriously, what? Infinite is FPS[7] and OF COURSE it's alternate history. --Niemti (talk) 03:52, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not saying they aren't. I'm saying that per DUPCAT, we would include both the the BioShock series category and the categories for these genre, even given the fact that that the BioShock cat is a child cat of those genre categories. --MASEM (t) 03:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, OK. --Niemti (talk) 03:57, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- And just as a thought, using Back To The Future as an example, it might be good to have "BioShock games" which take up the other game genre cats. (as BTTF uses "BTTF Films", itself a child cat of "Time Travel Films"). As you have it, you effectively have things like the Soundtrack under "Alternative history games" (ultimately). If anything Category:BioShock probably should only fall into Category:Video game franchises and no others (that I can think off), and with Category:BioShock games under BioShock, with all those genre as parent categories for it. --MASEM (t) 04:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, OK. --Niemti (talk) 03:57, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, maybe. Also "Science fiction by franchise". --Niemti (talk) 04:09, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yea, there's lots of different orthogonal paths into Bioshock alone, but the SciFi by franchise certainly works as well for the Category:BioShock one. --MASEM (t) 04:28, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and make the Bioshock games one, and put the games into it. Feel free to populate more parents in the top categories there if you see any. --MASEM (t) 04:59, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
GITS
[edit]I see you finally stumbled upon Ghost in the Shell, and yeah. It needs a lot of work. I'm currently in the process of discussing it with Lucia Black, the major contributor of the last two years. The entire scope is a mess and I had to pull this out of being a manga only page. Lucia wanted Ghost in the Shell to be Ghost in the Shell (manga) and actually made the manga a redirect back in Oct until I noticed it when she put up the franchise for GA. You might want to read the fun over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Anita Sarkeesian discussions
[edit]I wanted to let you know in a less heated context than your proposal in talk that without having looked deeply at the issue I do agree that the counter-reaction to the non-gaming press's sympathy with Sarkeesian should probably have a place in the article. Destructoid is not bad as a source in my view, and I'm sure there are others that could be used as well to show that the there are some in the gaming realm that find all of the sympathy with her to be over the top.
But I also think it's important that you consider the reality of the situation at that article. There is clearly a consensus of other editors who disagree that this material is relevant to the issue and in order to change their minds you will have to advocate for your idea in a persuasive manner. You can't ram your views down the throats of other editors even if you feel very strongly about the issues. Specifically, insults and mockery are not helpful to your cause in the least. If you can't make the case for your position without being petty about it then you'd do better letting a like-minded editor handle the counter-arguments.
Part of being persuasive in this matter also includes taking steps appropriate to your goals. If you want to include material on Destructoid's reaction to the mainstream reaction to AS's detractors's reactions to her posts then your central concern is in expanding the article. A request to rename it is tangential to the issue and serves as a distraction. It is clear to neutral third parties who review the situation that the request is being made as a work-around to side-step consensus regarding the content of the present article. If you are interested in expanding the article's reception section then this is a rhetorically poor way to go about it because it comes off more as misdirection than direct engagement with the meat of the issue.
Anyway I just wanted you to know that I have no opinion on the issue that seems to me to be your true concern (i.e. adding the gaming press's reaction both positive and negative to her) although I lean in favor of including it. But at the same time I recognize that there is a consensus against it and I think that your proposal to move the article is the wrong way to deal with this consensus with an opposed view. If you get to the point at some future date where you are interested in engaging with the actual issue of whether the reaction section should be added to then you'll find me much more sympathetic to your views. I'd give it some time before I revisit the issue though as you seem to have created a lot of bad blood at the talk page. -Thibbs (talk) 13:11, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
ANI
[edit]Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--Cúchullain t/c 16:26, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Just a thought
[edit]Do you realize how illogical it is? If AS is not notable (as you tell), why bother with discussing her biography over and over again at the BLP talk page? But you are not alone. For example, I too behave strange. May be that's because none of us should be editing here? My very best wishes (talk) 15:00, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Oh man, AfD failed, redirect discussion failed, there is a standing ANI about you, and you go berserk? Even if to assume that you are right, do not you already know that policies (including WP:RS, WP:NPOV, whatever) do not really matter? What matters is only WP:CONSENSUS. It does not matter why you lost, but you lost. I am sorry, but only you can help yourself. My very best wishes (talk) 20:47, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
- AfD didn't fail, because it wasn't brought up yet. It will be in time, not now (I've got to make a proper article first). Then we'll see. --Niemti (talk) 21:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
- Do not you realize that AfD will not succeed? If you open an AfD, I will not be there, but quickly looking at article and sources, I would vote "keep" (I do not know much about AS, and I am generally an "inclusionist"). I must also admit that there are BLP issues involved. The tone and character of these off-wiki internet discussions is such that one should really stay away. I do not understand why you need this, except being obsessed too much with the subject. Who cares if there are a few more articles on-wiki on marginally notable subjects, and you do not edit them? Why edit if they are not notable? Just ignore this whole thing and go edit articles about more important bad guys or good guys, as you did in past. My very best wishes (talk) 21:56, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
- P.S. Actually, I do not contribute to certain subjects not because I would not be able to contribute (I know these subjects very well), but because I feel that editing them would emotionally distract me (and attract some contributors who watch my edits). Same is possibly here. My very best wishes (talk) 17:40, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- You mean, the Nashists were harrassing you on Wikipedia? --Niemti (talk) 17:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- No. I only mean that you should not edit any subject if you feel strongly emotionally attached to it and there is an ungoing serious dispute (such as an ANI thread about you). Would you agree with this? If so, please tell at the ANI that you voluntarily agree not edit BLP article about AS.My very best wishes (talk) 19:00, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- I already did. --Niemti (talk) 19:01, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- So you do agree with me? Simply telling that you unwatched the page is not enough. You should clearly state at the ANI that you will not edit this article including talk page, if this is your intention. Such is this environment.My very best wishes (talk) 19:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- I did, including on the talk page itself. I'm tired of repeating same the things over and over again, so I won't. They also like to say that I "rant" (a well argumented discussion, explaining everything, and such), so OK, I'm not "ranting" anymore. --Niemti (talk) 19:24, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

[edit]I've reviewed your GA nomination for TMNT (film), and some issues need your attention. When you get a chance, please have a look at Talk:TMNT (film)/GA1. —Bruce1eetalk 09:10, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Niemti, I'm beginning the copy-edit you requested to the above article at the GOCE Request page. Please feel free to contact me, or to correct or revert my changes if I'm doing something I shouldn't. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:05, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Sure. --Niemti (talk) 22:08, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- Done - I've significantly reduced the size of the 'sex appeal' sub-section because I don't think this should be allowed to dominate the rest of the 'Reception' section. Text and sources are on the talk page if you need them. Feel free to contact me about any issues arising from the copy-edit; good luck with your planned GA nomination. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:13, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi Niemti, I am having a problem with user TheRedPenOfDoom on the Joseph Kony page. She (I think it's a 'She') keep reverting and removing any reference to the video being controversial, despite media consensus that the video is controversial, by constantly demanding 'sources' for the claim, then after I provided a reliable source, claims that 'controversial must be attributed' while I see no such requirement on Wiki policies. Her edit-warring and lack of sources for her own edits lead me to believe she's 'owning' the article and not editing in good faith. As you had a run-in in the past with her regarding the same, care to weight in? Any advice on what to do? Zzsignup (talk) 10:23, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
[edit]The article Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters for comments about the article. Well done! //Gbern3 (talk) 20:55, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. Could you, um, read through the article and see if there's anything to be corrected still? Like I just removed superfluous "the" from before the people's nationalities through the article after realizing it's probably wrong. --Niemti (talk) 23:05, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
- I went back to the article and I agree that "the" was unneeded. Good call. I did edit the bit about Zoe Bell though because it didn't seem like good grammar to use the name of a country in place of a nationality. Let me illustrate what I mean:
- Stunts for the more aggressive witches were done by [Egypt] stuntwomen and actress Zoë Bell –using Egypt in place of Egyptian
- Stunts for the more aggressive witches were done by [Indonesia] stuntwomen and actress Zoë Bell –Indonesia in place Indonesian
- Stunts for the more aggressive witches were done by [Peru] stuntwomen and actress Zoë Bell –Peru/Peruvian
- I replaced "New Zealand stuntwomen" with "Kiwi stuntwoman"—capitalized because when kiwi is used as a nationality, it becomes a proper noun. //Gbern3 (talk) 10:43, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Uh, but Kiwi's "the colloquial demonym for New Zealanders". It's really just a flyless bird. --Niemti (talk) 12:33, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, it's a bird; However, it really is widely used as a nationality. The wikilink in the article goes to Kiwi (people) and the reference provided in that article links to this website by the New Zealand government defining themselves as such. I purposely didn't use "New Zealander" because I was under the impression you didn't like this term since you removed it. I thought Kiwi would be more to your liking, but if you don't like it after all, I won't be offended if you remove it. //Gbern3 (talk) 04:55, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Wanted to say, nice job on the article! I remember seeing the article just before this film came out and shrugged at its quality. This morning I saw in the article alerts that it was a Good Article!?

Orphaned non-free media (File:Heavy Metal July 2005.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading File:Heavy Metal July 2005.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:15, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

WL2 undos
[edit]Wasteland 2 is no longer isometric as stated and linked to in the IP editors summary, the camera is rotatable as well as the height can be changed. I'll give you the chance to revert your undo mistake.--Sxerks (talk) 17:28, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Which means it's isometric. --Niemti (talk) 17:48, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Isometric projection is orthogonal, which means there is no parallax distortion. If objects that are further back are smaller than objects that are closer, it isn't isometric. You are misunderstanding the meaning of the term.Frogacuda (talk) 22:00, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- Which means you have no idea what isometric is. Not too hard to find, it's even here on wikipedia.
- Isometric like Fallout: Video_game_graphics#2.5D, 3/4 perspective, and pseudo-3D
- 3rd person like WL2: Video_game_graphics#Third-person perspective
Yeah, "it's there on Wikipedia": Isometric graphics in video games and pixel art. And no , W2 isn't TPP (FO3 is, optionally). --Niemti (talk) 20:15, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- LOL, did you even read the article you linked to? Can you read and understand English? Have you been keeping up with the development of the game see:video time index and developer comment for WL2--Sxerks (talk) 20:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- LOL, I did, LOL, you didn't (read or understand). LOL, By the late 1990s, RPGs like Vandal Hearts (1996), Final Fantasy Tactics (1997) and Breath of Fire III (1997) were using 3D graphics to create rotatic isometric environments where the player could freely rotate the camera.. LOL, Leaked video of Wasteland 2 shows off isometric view - Destructoid, Wasteland 2 video shows off isometric perspective, “camera angle diversity” | PCGamesN. LOL, anything else? LOL. --Niemti (talk) 20:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- You are linking to OLD videos, the CURRENT one is linked in my previous comment. The camera angle they are talking about in your old link is the height, and didn't include rotation at that time. Did you even watch the video and listen to the Developer's comments?--Sxerks (talk) 20:58, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Would you calm down? Yes I did, now you know an isometric view with an adjustable camera exists, and the world is safe again. --Niemti (talk) 21:07, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Isometric means the camera is locked and can't move left or right, in the September video the camera moves up-down, but is still locked left to right (isometric). In the current February video, the developer states that it is no longer "a static isometric camera" as it rotates left and right allowing you to see the back of objects which are not shown in a static isometric view. Do you understand the difference now?--Sxerks (talk) 21:24, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Do you often talk to yourself on the Internet? It's no longer "a static isometric camera" indeed, it's now a rotatable isometric camera, like in Syndicate Wars in 1996 (Wikipedia: Syndicate Wars preserves the isometric view of Syndicate, while adding rotation and pitch controls over the view). That's fine that you finally understood the lack of difference now. --Niemti (talk) 09:49, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- You must be one of those people who hates admitting you're wrong, I feel sorry for you. You're really searching hard to find even the smallest thing to back you up, but, "rotatable isometric camera" is an oxymoron, and whoever wrote that on the article is also one.--Sxerks (talk) 15:26, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

There's just that much patience for someone who obsessively keeps arguing against the very basics of what Wikipedia is and stands for, and wasting everyone's time, all while not ever contributing anything of any actual value to the article. And now some the original researchers are even canvassing people who had never even edit Wikipedia before at all, somewhere (maybe they made an angry thread on a forum, or maybe it's their "GAME BLOG" of some kind, I don't really care, they just won't pass). --Niemti (talk) 16:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- I came to this talk page to discuss this, since it's not related to the wl2 discussion. I was just reading up on whats been going on with WL2, and that included dropping by Wikipedia. When I read the article I noticed that it claimed the camera was still isometric, which is OUTDATED/INCORRECT in relation to that video, as well as the official comment here http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2/posts/412225 So I removed the mention in the article, because the information was BAD. Maybe I'm wrong, but even if information has a source, if that information is WRONG is should be removed, Correct? Ideally replaced with correct information, but CLEARLY OUTDATED/INCORRECT material needs removed. The fact I've never edited wikipedia from this IP address before is totally irrelevant, merely being an old editor does NOT make you right. And for the record, I've made several dozen (mostly small, as this should have been) edits to wikipedia over the past few years, and this just happens to be the first from this permanent IP address. I do not care to make an account, either. One more thing, I came to check if the article had been correctly updated since my feb 22 update, no WP:CAN Involved.173.197.176.165 (talk) 04:56, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Look, man, fundraising and 10 years of false starts AREN'T part of the devlopment cycle, but they are relevant historical context for this article. There are many other articles out there that use similar structures to make this distinction, and organize a large chunk of info in a way that is readable and useful. There are no laws governing what sub-sections can appear in game article, and even the standards regarding the main sections are merely suggestions for standardization. Whatever you feel about stupid IMDB (which is 100% accurate in this case and is used throughout Wikipedia as a source) stop deleting the part about actually making the game, and stop trying to create a wall of text without meaningful organization. Those are both destructive. Frogacuda (talk) 21:58, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- We don't have setions about "relevant historical context" in video game articles. Yes, we "laws governing what sections can appear in game article" (sections, not "sub-sections"), they are: gameplay, plot, development, reception, references, and optionally external links (in this specfic particular order). IMDb is not a reliable source because anyone can edit it (including you and me). --Niemti (talk) 13:52, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Would you minds citing where it says a large section cannot be broken into sub-sections? Because I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist, and until you do, the article stays how it is. Frogacuda (talk) 13:18, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
I have reverted your edits on this page because quite frankly you are not fit for purpose. Firstly you don't understand page alignments, secondly there are far too many images of the same things (there is already a link to these repetitive images (or image farm) on Wikicommons), thirdly the removal of referenced text is a disgraceful act (what is it WP:IDL?), fourthly I suggest you take a look at WP:CITE before adding your own version of unformatted references. It is Notes, Citations and References (sources on which the page is substantiated). Not just version of ad hoc: year here, puiblisher there etc
All you have done is messed up a perfectly good article for no valid reason. I am not going to try and revisit all your cosmetic changes because I don't have time. Fight me if you want, but I can already see you have a record for being someone who is self-opinionated and out of their depth!!86.184.58.240 (talk) 14:54, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

This article wasn't even correct - the mass graves are of the KIA fighters, the "references" fail verification (especially BBC onem supposedly "sourcing" the figures, but actually not at all - actually it's only a news about a museum being opened), it's awkwardly written (including claims that the instruments of the massacre were "Automatic weapons Armoured fighting vehicles Flamethrowers" - no, it was only all kinds of infantry small arms including pistols and rifles, hand grenades, and flamethrowers to set the buildings and corpses on fire), it doesn't even mention the largest massacres (like the largest one, on the railway enbankment where 7-10 thousand people were killed), and more. --Niemti (talk) 14:04, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wasteland 2. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Odie5533 (talk) 01:14, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Waco Seige
[edit]Hi
I like the work you have done on the Waco Siege page, but have to ask why you removed this text during this edit [9]:
"...and that they were "willing to kill but (were) not cold-blooded killers." It explains..."
I feel it has changed the balance of quoted material from that source to being negative instead of neutral. Prior to your edit the negatives were balanced by the "not cold blooded killers" part, which is now removed. Chaosdruid (talk) 15:12, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
It's in the quotbox later on. --Niemti (talk) 15:16, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thx for the quick reply :¬) How about moving that quote box up to the section that you edited and then we can remove all that duplication. The quote box does seem a little out-of-place
therewhere it is now, it does not seem relevant to either the preceding or following paragraphs as far as I can see? Chaosdruid (talk) 16:03, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- It's supposed to be the last part of the text before the report sub-section, following another quote from Stone on the same subject (his evaluation of the group's state of mind and criticism of the FBI tactics). Btw, for some strange reason this sub-section header is not showing up (even as it's still in the article menu). --Niemti (talk) 16:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- OK, we'll leave it as is then, good work btw :¬)

[edit]Isn't it better to leave Simon Phoenix et al. in the category they were in? — Brianhe (talk) 02:41, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Not really, it's just a redirect. --Niemti (talk) 02:42, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
no citation needed?
[edit]Hi, you undid my revision on ninja gaiden. I added the 'citation needed' tag on this sentence: He is often regarded as the most popular ninja character to ever be featured in video games. which is an unreferenced and subjective comment. how come it doesn't need a citation? thanks.
WP:LEAD - the leads don't need citation, it's just a summary of the article. --Niemti (talk) 17:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
ok thanks, I had added it because I've seen many times in the past the tag [who?] added to lines like 'many think this is the best country album of the 90s' but i hadn't properly seen the 'reception' section of the ryu article which backs up the statement i'd tagged. cheers
Preview button
[edit]The preview button exists for a reason; if you insist on deleting an articles text en-masse just to add it again, please use it. Pointlessly adding, saving and adding again just to bump up your edit count will not be tolerated. --Jasca Ducato (talk) 13:16, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Will be trolerated. --Niemti (talk) 13:17, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
If you continue to persist in your behaviour, you are facing a ban. Please do not continue with you non-use of the preview function and store your in-progress edits on your desktop. If you wish to discuss this, please see the discussion here. Jasca Ducato (talk) 14:51, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Lede of Yoshimitsu
[edit]Hi Niemti, I'm about to do a copy edit of Yoshimitsu, and I noticed you tagged it as having an inadequate lede. I've just glanced at the article so far, but the lede looks appropriate to me. Did you have any specific concerns I could try to address? --BDD (talk) 23:03, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
First of all it lacks any real description info about the character (biography and design & gameplay), also all kinds of other appearances (even generally speaking). The lead should summarize every aspect of in the article. --Niemti (talk) 23:12, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll make sure to add a bit on those aspects. --BDD (talk) 23:20, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for March 8
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charlie (Street Fighter), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chris Klein (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DR/N discussion regarding camera view

Clarity
[edit]Ok, you want me to re-review an article that you undid my revisions, attacked my advice, tried to make it seem like I was giving either stupid advice or advice outside of the guidelines of GA Review, wasting my time in the process, and now you want me to do it again? I don't get paid to do wikipedia, we normally treat each other with respect and gratitude for others taking time to review our articles, and you are making a constructive process feel worse than a trip to the dentist. Now I am willing to review it again because you are a very active, seemingly enthusiastic, and on occasion very productive wikipedian, but you've got to get with the program. When someone reviews your articles, the normal answer in most situations are either "yes I'll fix that" or "could you clarify what you mean?" if it seems like the advice is unclear or not great. You let me know what you decide. Judgesurreal777 (talk)|
- What? There were several days now without any answer, despite my bumping. I'm just asking to finish it, that's all. If you don't want to finish it for whatever reason, you can give it to someone else. (Also I wish I'd be "paid to do wikipedia", but it's not a job but an addiction.) --Niemti (talk) 21:14, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- Without a behavior change, I am not interested, and besides I ended that review with a fail already. If you want it reviewed, renominate it because my part is finished. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 01:48, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- You did what? When??? --Niemti (talk) 01:49, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
