Edge (video game) Top 50 iphone games?

Do you know which issue mentioned Edge as one of the top 50 iPhone games? Based on the resource list, i think it could either have been on 197 Issue of Edge magazine or the 210 issue.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 07:00, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

I have both those issues, but don't have access to them immediately. User:X201 may be able to help. - hahnchen 12:15, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Have checked those two issues and nothing leapt out at me. Looked through anything related to mobile in those issues and still a blank. - X201 (talk) 14:33, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

That's so weird because one of the sources in Edge (video game) shows it was rated top 50 iPhone games in Edge magazine. I'll continue to research on it. I'm also working on Every Extend Extra. WP:VG/RS October 2006 of Edge magazine has an interview with Tetsuya Mizuguchi and . Do you have the ISSN number, andthe text of the interview and review?Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 05:34, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Source request

I read that there is a Making of: Border Down article in Retro Gamer 53. Are you able to scan this and provide to me? Thank you TarkusAB 13:41, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Nevermind, I found it! TarkusAB 02:53, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Edge magazine request

Hey Hahnchen, according to the WPVG ref library you've got a copy of the September 2003 issue of Edge. I'm trying to track down some Halo info from that issue; I don't know the story name but at least one possible citation I need is on page 109, so I assume it's whatever story is on that page. Could you assist? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 15:21, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

I will take a look this weekend. - hahnchen 15:35, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

It's not September 2003. Page 109 is a Sega Rally feature. No Halo coverage from a quick scan, unless the it's a passing reference in the middle of an article. The issue mentions Halo on the cover, but only in reference to Killzone. - hahnchen 11:25, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the look. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 22:31, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kartridge

Hello Hahnchen,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kartridge for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

If this was the article you flagged for speedy, then that's some hot bullshit and you should not be reviewing articles. - hahnchen 23:54, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Ever, Jane

I've created the article Ever, Jane. It's currently a WIP but I have a number of sources yet to be added. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 19:56, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Magazine source request

Hi there.

I'm researching for an article rewrite of Space Channel 5. I've recently come across an issue of GamesTM, some kind of "retro" feature about 25 Sega titles, featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with staff. I found a version on Wayback, but it's incomplete. Do you have the issue? --ProtoDrake (talk) 13:11, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

The magazines are in storage, and I will have access to them on October 4th. I'll have a rifle through then, but would ideally like an issue number. - hahnchen 14:15, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Done some more digging. I can't find which issue of GamesTM it appeared in. But the feature I'm seeking can be found in their "Retro" compilation Volume 6. (Archived link) I can fudge through on the pages I found in this archived version from some kind of compilation, which covers the original game, but I'm thinking of doing its sequel too and the article seems to cover both. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:21, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

OK, that helps, I will look for it when I have my magazines. - hahnchen 10:34, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

@ProtoDrake: Got it. The archive.org link only misses the final page. Email me, and I'll respond with a scan. If you want to cite the original GamesTM magazine, it's issue 133, pages 128-133, published in March 2013. - hahnchen 11:12, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

V2000

Hi. I just noticed your request for V2000 (video game) on WP:VGR. If you'd like, you can request undeletion of the draft at WP:REFUND and work on it once restored. Jalen Folf (talk) 14:07, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Road Rash article request

Hey there. I'm working on getting the page for Road Rash up to GA, and I'm told that there's a substantial article on such in the August 2010 issue (#99) of GamesTM, which you appear to be in possession of. If you're able to confirm that you have it and can get that article sent over to me somehow, that'd be amazing. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 04:06, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Yes, my magazines are in storage. I won't have access for a few weeks. Email me and I will respond with the scans once available. - hahnchen 14:18, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

A humble request...

Hi hahnchen, if you don't mind I have an inquiry for your attention. The WP: VG's reference library section points to you as having access to the Issue 135 of GamesTM (May 2013) whose contents include a retrospective piece on Ron Gilbert's thoughts about the early days of his work at LucasArts. I wonder if it's possible to ask you to provide access to a scan of the relevant passages should you be willing to take time to help with this issue. Thanks!
