| == Splitting content of Super Valis IV from Valis IV into its own article == | |||
| I've noticed that you put a bunch of Metroid-related articles on VfD recently and removed them from various categories in the process. Please don't do that; if the articles are deleted they'll be removed from those categories automatically, and if they're not then those categories will need to be restored anyway. And there may be people using the "related changes" link from Category:Metroid who would miss the fact that these articles were on VfD as a result. ] 06:09, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Hey there! How are you doing? Look, i noticed that you were responsible for splitting content of SNES Dracula X into its own article. I want to suggest you splitting content of Super Valis IV that is in Valis IV into its own article, since both the PC Engine and SNES versions are entirely different games, kinda like what happened with Rondo of Blood and SNES Dracula X. I could do it if i knew how to split said content into its own stand-alone article so i figured why not ask for help. Anyways, take care and have a good day! ] (]) 00:42, 5 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
| Oh, and I notice that some of the VfD subpages you've been creating haven't been added to the VfD main page via the link on ]. You have to do that or they don't get voted on or noticed by admins when the vote's finished. ] 06:18, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :I've added the ones I was able to find to ], in case you're looking for them later. ] 06:40, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :{{ping|KGRAMR}} There isn't enough content for a split here, it basically needs a new article from scratch. I'd suggest simply making a new article if you want it to exist. The reception can technically be split off, but only when there's enough content in the rest of the article to justify doing so. ] (]) 00:44, 5 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ==Moving pages via cut and paste loses their history== | |||
| == Category:Body horror video games == | |||
| I just noticed a couple of instances where you've moved pages to new locations by manually cutting and pasting the contents there and changing the old article to a redirect. This causes the article's history to be "lost", since it remains behind at the location now occupied by the redirect. Instead, please use the "move this page" link in the sidebar; this will automatically create a redirect and will move the article's history along with it. ] 06:24, 20 May 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Hi, you were the driving force behind keeping ] a few months ago (see ]). I recently took on implementing the decided purge and quickly looked at every page in that category (and its subcats), and not a single one mentions the term "body horror" (NB: ] says {{tq|... the choices made by the player affect the narrative and visual design..., generally along the lines of eldritch or body horror}}, but the term is not used in the cited sources). This, paired with the fact that afaics, every page in this cat was added to it by the same user (], who also created the cat) on the same day (1 June 2024), made me think that the deletion rationale ({{tq|entirely original research}}) was mostly accurate, but that's not why I'm writing this message. I'm bringing it up, because while I'm happy to add it to articles if I find a source for it (to avoid removing the category), I'm not sure how I would add the "body horror" aspect to a video game article, even if I found sources supporting body horror as a defining characteristic, and I thought since you're a member of ] (and participated in the deletion discussion), I'd ask you (I hope that's alright). | |||
| Oh, I should also note that there's no need to disambiguate page titles (with for example the "(Stargate)" suffix) if there are no other articles that could fit there. So disambiguating ] is fine because there's an aerodynamics term that could also fit under that title, but ] is unique and so can be located right there. ] 06:30, 20 May 2005 (UTC) | |||
| I'm not that familiar with video game article guidelines, but as far as I understand, body horror is not one of the ] that ] states one should use (and for example, ] also says that the infobox {{tq|should not include thematic genres (like science fiction, horror, etc.)}}). WP:VG/GENRE also states: {{tq|Simply borrowing parts of a genre does not necessarily make the game of that genre, and instead can be said to be using elements of that genre in the lead and gameplay prose.}} Let's say that is the case, how would you mention/integrate "body horror" in an article (as I don't know what common phrasings for this sort of thing are in video game articles; e.g., would you just say something to the effect of "The game uses body horror elements." somewhere in those sections)? To provide a more specific hypothetical, how what would you add it to the article ] (this is one of the two games for which you gave in the deletion discussion; the article is currently in the cat but doesn't cite this specific source or use the term), assuming that you'd consider it a defining characteristic? I'd appreciate your input on this, thanks! ] (]) 22:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

| I noticed you renamed my nomination on COTW, from mechani'''s'''ed agriculture to mechani'''z'''ed. On top of this you replaced the former with a redirect, removing the exisiting redirect at the latter and replacing it with the utterly useless "a type of agriculture". Please don't edit what I have written, and in this case the spelling is more appropriate for the reasons that every link to page uses it, and it is only an American thing to use the 'z', the majority of the English speaking word uses an 's'.

| Hi, I noticed that you added this image (]) to the ] page. Unfortunately, it is not from JPL, but instead. I'm not sure if it is really a copyright violation, but most likely it is not free-to-use copyright and it will be deleted soon. Secondly, only less than half of the surface of Mercury has been mapped. The map is mostly imaginary, you can see that it was created by copying the mapped half over the unmapped hemisphere. That makes it unsuitable for the article. If you like to see how Mercury really looks visit at Solarviews.com.--] July 2, 2005 23:18 (UTC) | |||

Category:Body horror video games
Hi, you were the driving force behind keeping Category:Body horror video games a few months ago (see deletion discussion). I recently took on implementing the decided purge and quickly looked at every page in that category (and its subcats), and not a single one mentions the term "body horror" (NB: one says ... the choices made by the player affect the narrative and visual design..., generally along the lines of eldritch or body horror
, but the term is not used in the cited sources). This, paired with the fact that afaics, every page in this cat was added to it by the same user (Latiromazzaire, who also created the cat) on the same day (1 June 2024), made me think that the deletion rationale (entirely original research
) was mostly accurate, but that's not why I'm writing this message. I'm bringing it up, because while I'm happy to add it to articles if I find a source for it (to avoid removing the category), I'm not sure how I would add the "body horror" aspect to a video game article, even if I found sources supporting body horror as a defining characteristic, and I thought since you're a member of WP:VG (and participated in the deletion discussion), I'd ask you (I hope that's alright).
I'm not that familiar with video game article guidelines, but as far as I understand, body horror is not one of the standard video game genres that WP:VG/GENRE states one should use (and for example, Template:Infobox video game also says that the infobox should not include thematic genres (like science fiction, horror, etc.)
). WP:VG/GENRE also states: Simply borrowing parts of a genre does not necessarily make the game of that genre, and instead can be said to be using elements of that genre in the lead and gameplay prose.
Let's say that is the case, how would you mention/integrate "body horror" in an article (as I don't know what common phrasings for this sort of thing are in video game articles; e.g., would you just say something to the effect of "The game uses body horror elements." somewhere in those sections)? To provide a more specific hypothetical, how what would you add it to the article Zoochosis (video game) (this is one of the two games for which you gave a source in the deletion discussion; the article is currently in the cat but doesn't cite this specific source or use the term), assuming that you'd consider it a defining characteristic? I'd appreciate your input on this, thanks! Felida (talk) 22:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
