Orphaned non-free image File:Cyberdemon (DOOM 1993).png
editThanks for uploading File:Cyberdemon (DOOM 1993).png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Upcoming inactivity
editI'm leaving this message here so that I will be able to link to it on my userpage when the time comes. I'm going to have significantly reduced activity from around May 22nd to June 2nd, possibly extending from June 3rd to the 14th. I will try to check Wikipedia as much as I can through my inactivity, but since I will be leaving the country and then coming home to deal with some personal life stuff, it will likely take several hours to even days to respond to notices. λ NegativeMP1 17:55, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edits (Chris Redfield)?
editThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I added reliable sourced and reduced editorial bias. Wikipedia articles should be neutral, so I presented viewpoints fairly. Mary.Perry.Panda (talk) 06:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, but that applies to writing style and not what the sources contain. An opinion that was concluded by numerous reliable sources is not editorial bias. An example would be "X received generally negative reviews from critics" versus "X is a really bad game." Anything that isn't what reliable sources say can arguably fall under WP:OR. I wrote a message on a talk page explaining this.
- The sites that you added are also barely reliable per WP:VALNET, and don't count as significant coverage (articles that go in depth about something are given more weight than a trivial listicle) or towards notability. The way that these articles were added didn't explain much about why they were praised either and the articles don't have much substance to them. λ NegativeMP1 06:57, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- most of the sources in the reception don't go in depth about Chris Redfield as a character. Kotatsu writers simply said: He is boring. no explanation, nothing. It is a useless source. Mary.Perry.Panda (talk) 07:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

- ---> This is not true. Viewpoints should be presented fairly. The editorial bias (reception section) is obvious. Mary.Perry.Panda (talk) 07:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- What is written in secondary sources is what gets put on Wikipedia. I've said this already. If sources are mostly negative about a character, that is what's getting put in, not poorly written content farm articles or user generated polls. See WP:RS. λ NegativeMP1 07:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Could I see the source for your claim (what gets put on Wikipedia)? Mary.Perry.Panda (talk) 07:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I just posted it. WP:RS is an official English Wikipedia policy that states in its very opening sentence "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources." It even supports that minority views can be included if adequately covered (which these are not). It's evident from what I've said on other talk pages as well as that that you're not paying attention to the advice I'm trying to give, and I will not responding to this any further. λ NegativeMP1 07:19, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

List of songs in Fortnite Festival
editwhat policy does it supposedly break? I still haven't been answered about it WrestleLuxury Wiki (talk) 18:30, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- You were infact answered about it in the deletion discussion, where numerous editors brought up WP:GAMECRUFT, which is an extension of WP:GAMEGUIDE: "Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not an instruction manual, guidebook, or textbook. Wikipedia articles should not read like." Unlike other rhythm game song lists, which were more or less DLC lists (and therefore, up to a certain extent acceptable), there is no worthwhile coverage or commentary of Fortnite Festival's track selection. So the list is contrary to the point of Wikipedia. Also, for future reference, stating that our arguments "make no sense" and that I'm "hating on" you when we link appropriate policies that explain what the problem is demonstrates a lack of competence. λ NegativeMP1 18:40, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Thoughts on Minecraft – Volume Alpha for DYK?
editHi! I've been thinking that we could possibly nominate Minecraft – Volume Alpha for WP:Did you know, since we still have a bit of time left (within the seven-day window). I wanted to get your thoughts on this first, since you were the main contributor to the article. A possible hook could be;
- Did you know... that the success of Minecraft – Volume Alpha led its creator to top the Billboard Emerging Artists chart, twelve years after the album's release?
Thanks, SupremeLordBagel (talk to me) 11:23, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- I unfortunately believe the article is just outside of the window, since it's currently June 27 in the United States (eight days after the review concluded). I'm also not really up to the mood for reviewing DYKs right now, which I would be required to do per QPQ. However, I do plan on doing further edits to the article in the future and eventually nominating it for FA (which I think should be possible), and if that happens then the article could one day be on today's featured article. λ NegativeMP1 21:54, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, NegativeMP1. Thank you for the feedback on this. In terms of phrasing: this is why someone (neutral) on Wikipedia had looked at this article - as I am a player of this game - and submitted it on my behalf; yet no changes were made by this person in terms of phrasing. Hence, I assumed it was okay. Now, it turns out it is not. However, I can change sentences, but then I need to know which ones need changing.
Frankly, I do not know how the reception section can be expanded. Wurdian is not Candy Crush with a huge playerbase. It has around 100k registered players and has only had one officially rated review; I cannot change that. It is simply not that popular (yet) and by no means do I intend to advertise it. Pretty baffled that this is denied based on the reception of such a small game. The Wikipedia page of Wordfeud (a similar game) barely has one, yet that page is up. I genuinely do not know what more to add to the reception; unless the game will be reviewed by more organisations. I can link how it is perceived in the Appstore and the Playstore, but I was under the impression that that is a no-go as it would indirectly be an advertisement for those stores. Therefore, I would appreciate how to continue with this article, especially in terms of the reception. Although now I am afraid that it will simply not meet the requirements due to a lack of available sources/rated reviews.
Rob 0017 (talk) 19:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry if my initial comment/rejection reason was a bit vague or harsh. To put it simply, Wikipedia requires that subjects have enough significant coverage from reliable, secondary sources to meet the general notability guidelines. For video games, SIGCOV is generally a decent amount of critic reviews, or long-lasting coverage in other ways, which this game doesn't seem to have a lot of unfortunately and would not be likely to survive a deletion discussion. As for the game you mentioned (Wordfued), many people try make articles for subjects that aren't independently notable, and some of them slip through the cracks. There's a good chance that game is not notable either, but nevertheless "other stuff exists" is generally not a good rationale.
- As for the writing, the manual of style/writing guidelines for video games (MOS:VG) generally recommends having one central "Gameplay" section, which should summarize the key points of the gameplay enough for a general reader to understand without going into excessive detail. The draft for Wurdian has three separate sections to explain the gameplay, and it goes into a lot of detail that might not be necessary for an encyclopedic entry (see WP:GAMEGUIDE), and there's some weirdly worded sentences not fit for an enyclopedia (ex. "Any player can create a tournament and then act becomes the host of the tournament"). And for what I would do with the draft for now, I recommend you keep working on it, and maybe if it gains more coverage in the future, it might be notable enough to be moved to mainspace. λ NegativeMP1 21:51, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the quick reply NegativeMP1. With this second comment it has become clearer. I am relatively new to Wikipedia, so these links are welcome information; not everything is that easily findable. For most parts, I simply looked at other pages. I have changed some wording, deleted excess sentences and merged the sections which focussed on gameplay to one section: Gameplay. The sentence you cited above, was a mix of two sentences that I apparently missed whilst reading.
- As for the reviews: I assume at least two more (rated) reviews are needed to have a more sound reception? Either way, this will be something for the future, because unfortunately there is only one officially rated review at the moment. Rob 0017 (talk) 14:18, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- One other question: I understand that the "other stuff exists" argument does not work; that was not my intention either. However, does this mean that the English Wordfeud Wikipedia page should not exist in its current form? Or because it has slipped through the cracks, it now is what it is? Rob 0017 (talk) 14:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- For the prose quality of the draft, it is definitely looking better. As for the sourcing, three critic reviews is generally the accepted standard for subjects being notable at WP:VG, though it's not policy.
- As for Wordfeud, there's a pretty decent chance that someone might nominate it for deletion at a later date, or put in the work to fix up the reception section before that happens. Things that "slip through the cracks" generally do, at one point or another, get caught. λ NegativeMP1 20:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the quick reply again @NegativeMP1 and I greatly appreciate that you state that the prose quality of the draft is better. Well, I will keep the draft and will update it in the future when there are more (rated) reviews available. If you have any other points in the meantime to improve on, please kindly advise me. (There is no rush.) The above information is already very valuable to me, as it helps me learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you for having shared that and also for having taken the time to read the drafts. Rob 0017 (talk) 22:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Congrats, and a question
editHey, congrats on your promotion. This is a big accomplishment and well deserved.
I wanted to ask if you could look over the current state of my current large project to see if it's on the right track. This is obviously a bit of a tough one to chew and I know it's not your usual topic area. Compare to the structure of the original article to see what I'm trying to go for. I think the current one is not really up to snuff at all. The model article I'm using is this one, as it's a featured one and similar enough.
Basically I'm wondering if you think it is 1) on it's way to doing well, 2) what sections you think are missing (still not done outlining everything)
Thanks, ForksForks (talk) 20:24, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- As you stated, this is a subject that is well beyond what I have ever written about, or ever will write about. But for feedback I can provide, I find your current rewrite more informative, clear, and better sourced than the one currently in mainspace. This is a very tough topic to chew, but I think so far you're doing a good job. λ NegativeMP1 20:36, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks and of course if you ever need something read over drop me a ping. ForksForks (talk) 03:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Minecraft's composer issue
editWhy do you not think that Lena Raine, Kumi Tanioka, and Aaron Cherof are not the lead composers for Minecraft for the page List of video game soundtracks considered the best? Their composition takes a significant chunk in Minecraft's OST by the release of Tricky Trials so I have no idea why you'd remove their names when they did have significant work in the Minecraft. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 08:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I don't list them on List of video game soundtracks considered the best because they are not simply not the lead composers. At the games release, C418 was the only artist featured in the game and remained that way until 2020, and he's still considered the main artist (all but one of the sources used in the list only list C418's work, the other lists both C418 and Raine). Raine has only composed music for the game for about four years, and Tanioka and Cherof have composed music for even less. Additionally, the way they're music has been added to the game is less of "here's all of the music for your game" and more of "here's some extra tracks." Gareth Coker contributed more to the Minecraft soundtrack (at least on console) than all of the extra artists, yet we don't list him for similar reasons. λ NegativeMP1 17:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Halo Infinite Article Edits
editHello - I hope you are doing well.
I am writing this as a first-time editor. I am confused why, after removing speculative sentences (despite having citations), my purely fact-based points have been removed by you. I am not sure if you are the same person who previously removed the text, but I understand if you did regarding the speculation. That part has been removed.
However, your comment included a note that it is rarely appropriate for Wikipedia articles to include player sentiment. I am linking two of the largest competitors to Halo, Battlefield and Call of Duty, below to demonstrate that this is false.
Call of Duty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_(2019_video_game).
"Criticism focused on the handling of the campaign's subject matter, including the depiction of the Russian military, as well as balancing issues in the multiplayer."
Battlefield 2042: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2042
"The game received mixed reviews from critics and a more negative reception from players for its technical issues, lack of features, and certain changes to the gameplay. The game failed to meet the sales expectations of Electronic Arts."
Both articles mention criticism and not just praise of the games, with Battlefield 2042 specifically mentioning player sentiment.
I would love to understand why these two articles document player sentiment, but Halo is above such criticism. FactCheckerofFactCheckers (talk) 02:00, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry if my initial revert reason was a bit harsh or confused you. Wikipedia very rarely takes into account fan reception per the user generated content policy, and we go by whatever reliable sources say. So basically, for video games, reliable sources are where we get our reception, and fan reception usually isn't included on its own unless its very, very well documented (ex. a review bomb). Battlefield 2042 is a special case like that, since it was extremely well covered by reliable sources, and MW2019 doesn't fall under that since its purely the opinions of critics. I'm not saying that fan reception for the Halo Infinite article isn't warranted, but to go into that level of detail in the article lead (greater than that of the critics opinions) generally isn't warranted. Note how Battlefield 2042 only goes "the game received mixed reviews from critics and a more negative reception from players" before listing why they didn't like it.
- Now, a sub-section of the reception section (similarly to Battlefield 2042) could probably be doable and I'd personally allow it to stay (though I'm not sure what others could think). I did manage to find a few sources that discuss how players reacted to Halo Infinite, such as [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5]. λ NegativeMP1 07:33, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reply as well as sharing the links, both of Wiki procedure and Halo articles.
- The feedback you shared recommends adding this player sentiment lower on the page; I disagree with this. While I acknowledge Call of Duty does not explicitly list player sentiment in the 'leads' section, Battlefield 2042 does. More specifically, the page includes both critic and player sentiment in the 'leads' section, not below the fold of the page.
- Further, while you argue Battlefield is an exception, I am directly challenging your qualifications for deciding which titles are or are not an exception to include player sentiment. Halo and Battlefield 2042 are arguably the largest culprits of negative player backlash in the past few years, with both of us now presenting articles supporting this data.
- To your later point, I am aligned with rephrasing the structure of the passage as well as reducing length to match player sentiment in the aforementioned competitors. However, I am not aligned with a) removing player sentiment from the 'leads' section when Battlefield includes it and b) your qualifications to conclude that Battlefield 2042 meets an exception 'threshold' when both of us have now provided articles showcasing strong negative player sentiment and related player statistics.
- With regards to reliable sources, I am confused as your shared articles include GameRant, the same reliable source I originally listed when speaking to player sentiment. I have IGN and Polygon articles that also speak to this negative player sentiment.
- What are the available next steps? Currently, I see:
- - Edit passage in Halo Infinite leads page to align with length and structure of Battlefield 2042's negative player sentiment, with reliable sources cited
- - Triage what qualifies as a exception for overwhelmingly negative player sentiment via dispute resolution FactCheckerofFactCheckers (talk) 18:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit? (Furina)
editI added a note on one of her in game features that you quickly removed, and I'm requesting more explaination than what you included in the edit reversion.
Thanks The Eunie-Cycle (talk) 23:03, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- HI, I reverted the edit because the detail of Furina being able to walk on water isn't sourced anywhere in the article body , and adding that detail would've failed WP:V. I'm sure that somewhere there's a reliable source that says she can walk on water. I'll check for myself when I can. λ NegativeMP1 23:43, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Is this a reliable source? https://www.eurogamer.net/genshin-impact-furina-ascension-talent-materials-best-build-team-weapon-artifact-constellations-9326
- I'm not sure exactly what sources count as reliable or not, but this article does mention that Furina's skill lets her walk on water. The Eunie-Cycle (talk) 23:59, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, Eurogamer is a reliable source. As for what sources count as reliable or not, a list of reliable sources for video games can be found at WP:VG/S. λ NegativeMP1 00:03, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
