Backlash
Thanks for the welcome, I've been a registered user for three years. :-) It was not general discussion and relates to the article. The sorts of responses I was expecting might have been:
- No idea, can't find any sources that explain this
- You're wrong, six isn't a particularly low number of matches for a PPV, not worth mentioning
- Yes, there is a reason for this which is (blah), we should note this in the article
- There is a reason, which is (blah), but it's not especially notable for the article.
--Jameboy (talk) 21:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- Discussion of the article includes what is not in the article as well as what is. When I see something that looks a little unusual that I can't readily explain myself or by reading the article, I may decide to point it out, in case something has been overlooked in the article (in this case it is probably less likely as it's already a GA). This is a million miles from a "Cena sucks - who agrees?"-type comment. --Jameboy (talk) 22:10, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- Alrighty then. Can you recommend any good message boards, as I have other questions relating to wrestling articles that I'd like to discuss somewhere? --Jameboy (talk) 22:37, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Game & Watch
The information for those DSiWare releases comes directly from the Nintendo.co.jp page, where for each entry they are indeed titled 'Game & Watch so-and-so' (or, more accurately, 'ゲーム＆ウオッチ so-and-so'). Until Nintendo releases information on those games being released for NA/EU/AUS, we have to go by what they're being called on that official page, whether or not past handheld releases have been individually named in the same manner.
IMO, it's no different from the 'Art Style: blah-blah-blah' format for games in the Art Style series, only that there's no colon separating the series from the name (yet). -- Khisanth (talk) 15:05, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Not listing the game's full name as seen in the shop on the article about games listed in the shop is not helpful to the average user (who may somehow think Mercs and Wolfs of the Battlefield: Mercs are two entirely different games), and redirecting to the articles for the original release(s) of the ported games is enough to educate those interested enough in finding out more about the game(s) in question. An experienced gamer would know the difference and would probably understand what we're talking about (especially if they'd played the game before under the original non-seriesed or non-subtitled title), but I'm pretty sure Misplaced Pages is trying to focus more on accessibility for average users trying to find out more about the games available to them in the Wii/DSi Shop. :)
Even the title screens for the games themselves (as shown on that Nintendo.co.jp page) have 'Game & Watch' prominently featured above the game's individual name. I suppose once there is more information about a NA/EU/AUS release for these games, we'll know for absolute sure how to list them. Though I certainly agree with you with regards to page naming and creation for the games that don't yet have wiki articles (the official title for those pages would be Ball, Manhole, Mario's Cement Factory, whatever, because the original release would be covered as well as the GBC/GBA/DS/DSiWare ports), as pertains to the DSiWare list, I really think we should stick to the titles as officially listed by Nintendo in the Shops in order to keep things accessible. -- Khisanth (talk) 15:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
List of best-selling Wii games
Here you forgot to update the Japanese numbers, so it only accounts for 1,100,000 units. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 02:02, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- I meant, we cannot have 1.9m sales for Wii Sports Resort while giving references for only 1.1m. In other words, if we don't need to provide a reference for the rest of the sales, we could as well mention it sold 7 million and wait for the amount to catch up?
