Hi Gary. I've been following the PR, and the progress you've been making, and I'm impressed with how speedily they've been addressed.

==List of tallest buildings in Toronto FLC==
Hmm, the 9th was the last time that user edited. Can you confirm to the best of your knowledge that you've addressed those concerns? They were mainly about style guidelines, but s/he also mentioned "substance", which was a bit vague! If the style guidelines conform, I think you should add a comment under the oppose and explain that the objections have been addressed, while also explaining that the opposer hasn't been active in the last few days. It might help if an uninvolved editor, preferably from WP:Skyscrapers, added a comment confirming that the list conforms to style guidelines ({{User|Raime}} seems like the best bet). That'll probably be sufficient for the oppose to be disregarded as acted upon. [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] | [[User talk:PeterSymonds|<small>talk</small>]] 22:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

:I've just seen that Raime's already supported the article. If the founder of WP:Skyscrapers is happy with it, then that should be enough hopefully.

:Thanks, I wasn't aware. Seems to be okay now.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PHP&curid=24131&diff=198671321&oldid=198658594 From:] ''I removed the example code because this is supposed to be as encyclopedic as possible.''

If you're going to remove a significant portion of an article then MAKE BETTER USE OF YOUR EDIT SUMMARY. You will also notice that [[Python syntax and semantics]] exists which makes it not a loss of information and I note that you didn't make [[PHP syntax and semantics]] and so you've removed the information that really separates one language from another: its syntax.

The way you've rationalized removing code examples is on par with saying [[Spanish language]] can't have any Spanish words or phrases in it at all. If you have to cut any and all code examples to make PHP a featured article then it shouldn't be done because it doesn't better this encyclopedia.

:I've had a look, and the lead is fine: not too technical, while providing a good summary. It's an excellent article, and technical articles are, as you say, the most difficult to write, because of the balance between enough technical info and ''too much'' technical info!

::I've had a look at this article also. I agree with Peter, it's really good for a technical article. It's a very notable subject, well sourced, pleasingly readable given inevitable technicalities, wonderful non technical, historical information there as well.
::Although the code sample issue didn't strike me, on principle, I'd tend to be in favour of sample code. Helps even a casual reader visualise what the article is about. Most readers visiting the article would probably be technical enough not to be put off by a bit of code. However, I can completely understand the need to keep an eye on these kind of articles and watch that coding and jargon don't restrict them only to specialists in their field.
::I have a maths background, but even so, some maths articles move too fast with stuff I'm rusty about. Mind you, I'd argue computer code is way more user friendly than foreign languages or mathematical and scientific symbols.

== Re:Call of Duty 4 ==
*Merge the "overview", "single player", and "multiplayer" sections into a single "gameplay" section. Talk about the game and its general aspects (first-person shooter, objective, etc.) and then have level three sections for the single player and the multiplayer aspects. Condense the multiplayer section drastically. No need to list modes (comment on a few as examples); basically, your job is to show how the multiplayer works and how it fits into the normal gameplay. Basically, summarize the individual sections, keep it coherent, and cut the extra section headings.
*Move the characters and story section into a "plot" section that covers both characters and the story. Try to keep the story as concise as possible - level four section headings to divide sections of the story are largely unnecessary. Just start a new paragraph. For the characters, describe them succinctly using prose. As for the in-universe referencing, you don't have to - I actually found it easier to cite using that style of referencing. You're free to use third party references or really, anything [[WP:RS|reliable]] and [[WP:V|verifiable]] for them.
*Turn the "marketing" section into a "development" section covering the game and expand more on the development of the game. Include the "game engine" section as a third level heading of the development section. Also, cut out all the headings when you merge the "marketing" section. Move the "music and soundtrack" section above the "reception" section and change it to "audio".
*For the "reception" section, you want to cover how reception treats the different aspects of the game (gameplay - make sure you have comments on both single player, multiplayer, and the gameplay in general -, plot, graphics, game engine, audio, etc.). Listing the scores in the prose is largely redundant due to the table. I'm iffy about listing out all those awards as prose - a table/box/something else may be more appropriate, or incorporate it into the main body of the reception.

::::::Wow, good work. Add a single player section into the "gameplay" section. In the "reception" section cut out all mention of scores since you already have it in the review column. Work towards providing the praise/criticism/etc. of the gameplay, graphics, etc. (quotes are encouraged) - see [[Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow#Reception]] or [[Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow#Reception]] for how I did that. The story section could be reduced a bit also. As for your comment on different FAs, that's generally true. With these kind of articles you're gathering content and slapping in on a page and cleaning up, not constantly updating. As for where to find the in-game script, [[GameFAQs]] tends to have people post things like that. Otherwise, find some blog or fansite that does it or worst comes to worst, transcribe it from the game itself. Remember you can always condense the plot heavily and use third party sources for sourcing if necessary. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Sephiroth BCR|<font color="navy">'''Sephiroth BCR'''</font>]] <sup>'''([[User talk:Sephiroth BCR|<font color="blue">Converse</font>]])'''</sup></font> 18:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

== Regarding Call of Duty 4 ==

Thanks for the offer. I pretty much stopped edits on that article after a group of editors made significant changes to the layout a month or two ago, and I was one of the few who supported the previous version. If there's anything significant you need help on let me know, but otherwise I'm spending most of my time on other articles and schoolwork (trying for a scholarship this year).

P.S.- After a cursory glance at the revamped article, I just want to know if the plot section is still a work in progress. We may have to scale it back a bit, and I wouldn't oppose removing the character sections altogether (they have been the source of much of the disagreements over minor details in the past, and quite frankly I fail to see why they need to be included in the article at all if there is a separate character list on [[Call of Duty (series)]]). {{User|Comandante42}}

:Alright. I'll introduce the character section issue a little later. <span style="border:2px solid #003300;font-family:Candara">[[User:Comandante42|<span style="background:Navy;color:Gray">&nbsp;Comandante&nbsp;</span>]][[User talk:Comandante42|<span style="background:Gray;color:Navy"><i>Talk</i></span>]]</span> 19:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Revision as of 16:19, 8 June 2024

Hi Gary, good to see you're editing. You nominated this one at WP:FAC a long time ago. I'm thinking of rerunning this one at WP:TFA on July 1 ... the article seems to me to be in pretty good shape. Any thoughts pro or con? - Dank (push to talk) 06:07, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, go ahead, sounds good. Gary (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The tool User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages.js pointed out that the last paragraph, about Settlers, Rails & Trails, is unreferenced. Do you happen to have a reference? Would you rather pull it if we can't find a reference? - Dank (push to talk) 19:37, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, I don't have a reference for that. You can remove it, if you want. Gary (talk) 21:09, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just a reminder that this is coming up on July 1. - Dank (push to talk) 21:28, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Vxtreme

Hello, Gary. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Vxtreme".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 06:48, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article Mesh conference has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This conference article is missing a reliable source to establish notability. The first two references are from blog/promotional websites; the other two refrences are dead links. After searching, found social media and event announcement websites, but no comprehensive, in-depth coverage of this conference itself. Article was created on 10 March 2010.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
