== Harvey Smith's work on Thief? ==

I don't actually think Harvey Smith did much for Thief: Deadly Shadows and in fact it is probably more like people confuse him with the Project Director, Randy Smith. Harvey Smith that "Periodically, someone credits me with Thief, which I love, but did not work on. (I’m mentioned in special thanks for Thief 3, probably.)" , and the most I could find a reference for was in under "Additional Design".

== Gameplay image or video ==

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good image or video that could visualise the gameplay? A video is fine, I can edit it if necessary. ] (]) 14:03, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

== Pointless entry until release ==

Whatever any dev may have said about any feature the game may have - it all may change until release day. The whole entry is pretty pointless until the game is actually released, IMHO.] (]) 19:00, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
:It comes out in a month and all previews back up what is in it, nothing has changed. So your comment is pretty unnecessary IMHO. ] (]) 19:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

== Corvo Attano ==

I can't see this ingame poster you're talking about, but to prevent any further confusion I just asked Harvey Smith and he says Attano . ] (]) 19:18, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

== Smith and Colantonio stated... unreferenced tag ==

I added the tag to "Smith and Colantonio stated that it is impossible for a player to accrue all of the powers and abilities in a single playthrough." because I didn't see a cite immediately after it, and I think generally for a direct attribution, which this basically is even though it doesn't quote, adding a cite is encouraged, or even required. If it's in one of the other sources used in the article, could that ref tag be copied to the end of that sentence, for clarity? —<B>]</B> <sup>]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-3ex;">]</sub> 19:29, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

== "Dishonored" redirect ==

Right now the page {{no redirect|Dishonored}} is a redirect to ]. Now I doubt many people would type in the word "dishonored" looking for that page. "Dishonor", definitely, but I'm sure at least 99% of people who type in "dishonored" are looking for this game. What does everyone think? Should I change the redirect or not? If nobody posts anything here I'll ] and change the redirect; if that's not what the community wants it can always be changed back.

== Copy Edit Progress ==

I have removed all of the redundant reference tags (seriously? Three consecutive identical references in 3 sentences?) and will be checking grammar, spelling and overall language. :) ] (]) 11:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
:I disagree on a lot of the reference tags, if the exact same reference is repeated one after another without interruption that's a side effect of expanding the article, but in some cases you've removed references entirely from a section meaning points are now longer properly referenced. In other cases they might appear later in the same section but they're after multiple other references, so the original point is now not referenced as far as someone checking the first immediate reference is concerned and they realistically shouldn't be checking every ref in a paragraph to find the one relating to the point. Where multiple references are used one after another for a single point, it is because the point is not entirely covered in the single source. ] (]) 16:00, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
::I understand that, but the fact is that several of these paragraphs were littered with references, making them extremely hard to read. I may have been overzealous left and right, but I stand by the majority of these removals. As with most triple A-titles these days, there consist a plethora of online reference materials, which results in a short sentence being followed by three or more references... ] (]) 10:09, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
:::I understand removing repeat references in consecutive sentences, I'm just saying that when your CE is done I will have to restore some of them because there are some unsourced statements now. ] (]) 02:28, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
