Sega hybrid name
There has been a proposed move to move Sega CD to Sega Mega-CD/Sega CD, and the issue of the rather awkward hybrid name has been brought up again. After a protracted war on the Talk:Sega Mega Drive page, the article was finally moved to Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis. I wanted to bring the issue here because it shouldn't exist - we should pick one name and stick with it. How awkward is it to type Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis and having to pipe that link in? I would rather do ] so I would only have to write it out half the time. Same with the Sega CD. Hbdragon88 07:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- That is pretty ridiculous. Unless I missed it, though, no one actually cited hard numbers to determine which "system" was actually more popular worldwide (though I strongly suspect it was Mega Drive). Not that I want to open up another can of worms, but was this ever taken to RfC or other arbitration? --SevereTireDamage 11:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well yeah, the Google test has problems. And while the Mega Drive probably is more popular - as it was the name in all territories except the U.S. - I think the "Genesis" defenders made a persusasive argument, saying that just naming it the Mega Drive would confuse U.S. readers. This resembles the gasoline title war, except that it appears that that war was solved without RFC or Arbcom involvement (but I'm not sure). Hbdragon88 16:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Super Metroid
I'm making a strong effort to greatly improve the Super Metroid article and I wondered if anyone might be interested in helping. I've done a lot of work on it in the past, but it had become very jumbled up and full of stuff that was totally off-topic both for the article itself and for Misplaced Pages. It breaks my heart to see this article with a B classification; my goal is for it to be in tip-top shape.--QuasarTE 09:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Resident Evil
There is discussion ongoing at Talk:Resident Evil about the role of dab pages when disambiguating between a game and the series named after it. A third opinion would be appreciated. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 10:04, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Bulbasaur
Bulbasaur is up for a featured article review. Detailed concerns may be found here. Please leave your comments and help us address and maintain this article's featured quality. Sandy 14:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- What?! It's been what, two days since it appeared on the front page? Hbdragon88 16:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- True, although it's been featured for at least a month or two now, right? It's succesful, drawn-out 3rd nom was made back in February, so it was a bit of a delay. Which also means that's several months worth of change to the article. It's had a rough life it has. Three FACs, two peer reviews, and now it might end up on the chopping block if it doesn't pass it's Review. Heck, if it doesn't pass it's review, it seems like a guarenteed removal, considering the whole community worth of Pokemon haters out there. -- gakon5

An online peer-reviewed ludology journal
People here might want to check out gamestudies.org, which appears to be a peer-reviewed scholarly game journal. Browsing a bit, I was able to find articles on The Sims, Grand Theft Auto, Halo: Combat Evolved, Lara Croft, Counter-Strike, and others. The CS one is particularly interesting in that it covers behaviors during multiplayer — the type of stuff that traditionally has not been well-sourced or has been outright deemed unverifiable here on Misplaced Pages. There's a lot of interesting material to use. — TKD::Talk 00:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Who wants to work with me to make RuneScape a good article?
Having recently joined the Computer and Video Games WikiProject, and as a member of the Good articles WikiProject, I have a goal of making RuneScape a Good article.
The RuneScape article has previously failed a Featured Article nomination and failed a Good Article nomination. I sent it for Peer Review, raising several concerns, but received no significant responses.
If you wish to collaborate with me to make RuneScape a good article, please read and reply on RuneScape's talk page. Thanks.

Working on the AdventureQuest article.
Having recently joined the Computer and video games WikiProject, my first task will be to work on the AdventureQuest article.
The article desperately needs a rewrite and cleanup. Although I will help with that, one of my main tasks will be to provide in-game screenshots, as well as to play the game to check facts provided (in some cases, in-game screenshots may be used as proof of concept).
However, as a level 58 non-Guardian, I stopped playing AdventureQuest several months ago due to the Guardian Only Login feature. I recently tried to log in, and discovered a new survey which non-Guardians could take in order to gain unlimited login access for 24 hours. This allows me to log in to play the game, take in-game screenshots and fact-check.
Therefore, I need someone to give me the green light, before I take the survey and log in. In addition, I hope you can offer me advice (for example, style) I should bear in mind when making my very major edit(s) to the article, which may take several hours. I will probably do this next weekend, possibly earlier depending on my real-life situation.

Started a Death, Jr. 2: Root of Evil article
I just joined the Project and Misplaced Pages. This project convinced me that it was time to join Misplaced Pages to start contributing.
The game is still under development, so not much is known. I could put in some screenshots, but there is no cover art for the infobox. All the information was from Gamespot.
