== 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.
Do the above, get a good copy-editor, and you should be good. Cheers, <font face="Verdana">[[User:Sephiroth BCR|<font color="navy">'''Sephiroth BCR'''</font>]] <sup>'''([[User talk:Sephiroth BCR|<font color="blue">Converse</font>]])'''</sup></font> 05:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

::::::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)

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 ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 06:07, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

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.

==Your draft article, [[Draft:Vxtreme]]==
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}}

== Re:FT ==

I think it's difficult to define a FT in such a manner. If you were to define the topical scope as "lists of billionaires," then the point is going to be raised as to where are the previous lists. Since ''Forbes'' has decades of lists, the topic won't be comprehensive. However, if you had 40-50 FLs, the topic would be too big. You need to narrow the topical scope to something manageable. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Sephiroth BCR|<font color="navy">'''Sephiroth BCR'''</font>]] <sup>'''([[User talk:Sephiroth BCR|<font color="blue">Converse</font>]])'''</sup></font> 22:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
:That leads to a cherry picking problem of only selecting a few articles in order to get a topic.

::The cherry picking problem still exists. Take it this way, can lists be created going back a couple decades? If so, the topic is cherry picking.

== Re: Creating a WP:FT with Lists of billionaires ==

For a topic called "Lists of billionaires", I think that to pass the requirement of covering the topic completely, you would have to have lists for every year that there have been billionaires. To limit it to recent years, you would have to have a lead article that explained why those years' lists formed a complete topic of study by themselves. --[[User:Arctic.gnome|Arctic Gnome]] <small>([[User talk:Arctic.gnome|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Arctic.gnome|contribs]])</small> 12:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

== dts2 ==

Hi there - couldn't help noticing you've been changing dts to dts2 on various pages on my watchlist, including some in my userspace. Was there any discussion about this change that I missed before the template was "deprecated"? Did you realise that you've been changing people's comments on talk pages (e.g. where there was an old discussion about dts, which you changed to be a discussion about dts2)? Changing other people's comments in old discussions is generally not a good idea. What was the point of the change from dts to dts2 anyway, and why did it need a new template? Regards, [[User:Bencherlite|Bencherlite]][[User talk:Bencherlite|<i><sup>Talk</sup></i>]] 23:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
:Good point - the Talk pages were changed at the same time as the articles. They've been reverted. As for why, it was done in order to follow the [[ISO 8601]] standard that is used across other Wikipedia templates.

: {{tl|dts}} was changed to {{tl|dts2}} because the date format for {{tl|dts}} was changed in order to comply with [[ISO 8601]], the date format used on Wikipedia. If you want, I can revert the change that I made - I made it because if it was not changed then it would be broken after the template changed.

== Re:FT ==

Wow, you're really ambitious aren't you? I think it's a bit hard to justify [[Nintendo]] as the main article; creating a [[List of Nintendo video game consoles]] article might be plausible. Work the rest up to GA/FA status first though before inquiring. As for the supplementary items, I think just the ones at [[Nintendo#Consoles]] are sufficient; although I'm unsure whether you would have to bring just [[Game Boy line]] to GA/FA status or every single individual item (that's another FT by the way if you're interested) in that line. I think the former is fine.

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]
