[edit] City 17

Hi there! I added on the City 17 page that the city was on the seashore, but you disagreed. But when you get out of Ravenholm to get the buggy, you can see by viewing the citadel that you're not far from the City, you're in the suburbs. And it's a big City, since Breen wanted to establish his admin. there. So I think City 17 is on the seashore, Gordon didn't walk 1000km from it to get to the sea, since City 17 is on the seashore, I think. So, what do you think? Klow 22:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Thanks for the Welcome!

Hey ZS, thanks for the message, I've been reading wiki for ages but just now decided to actually contribute to it. Seems to be much fun, I've started a project on a certain genre of music because of the massive confusion arount it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Emo , could you give your opinion on my first attempt?

Thanks!


Edited: have no idea how to send messages on wiki it it OK I've left a comment?

[edit] ZS, where are you??

You're a kickass contributor/keeper-in-liner...person...for the GTA: LCS wiki page. I've been trying to maintain the Vice City Stories wiki page, but it's getting messy with anonymous editors who can't spell and frankly, I myself don't have the know-how about copyright images/links/etc.

The wiki pages about Vice City Stories needs YOU!

[edit] HL2 date formatting

Hi - popped a reply on User_talk:Oscarthecat#Changes_on_years_links_in_Half-Life_2 --Oscarthecat 18:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

And started a thread here, would appreciate your involvement. --Oscarthecat 19:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the message

Thanks a lot for spending your time and sending the welcoming message :) Glad to make some useful contributions to the Wiki and hope to continue that in future. Best regards, Se7en Rus 20:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Combine Technology etc

Hi ZS, thought I'd drop you a line since you seem to be a regular maintainer of the HL2 stuff. What do you make of the NPOV claim posted on Talk:List of Combine non-combat technology in Half-Life 2? Because of the rather antagonistic tone and the failure to mention any specifics or to actually remedy any of the alleged problems, my first thought is that it's just someone trolling. I've asked them to go into more detail, but given the somewhat unhelpful attitude so far I'm not sure that any will be forthcoming, so do you think that the (somewhat peculiar choice of) NPOV warning should remain on the article?

[edit] Need for Speed Article

Hello. Thanks for politely addressing the issue. I have attempted to provide references for the realism section. I hope this helps. I realise that not all things could be referenced but I have attempted to modify them appropriately. Mostly the section is well referenced to a variety of sources. I hope this helps. If it is satisfactory please remove the NPOV template. GuardianOfTruth 20:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing Information

What i said about the origins of The Sims was mostly true. Though your right EA didnt get involved into game intill 1997 that was an accident your right. Much of this information was actually a behind the scenes feature of The Sims 2 on the demo disc in Makin Magic. So i will re-edit some of my mistakes, Sincerly 70.100.155.238

[edit] PC Box art for NFS: MW

You ask me why the PC box art is more important than the X360 one? What are you sitting in front of right now? What are you using to view Wikipedia?

Although it is widely known that MW was an X360 launch title, using its box art for the article here in Wikipedia doesn't suggest at all that it was a launch title. PS2 has had a lot of exclusive titles and their articles here use the PS2 box art(of course!!). Does this mean that they were all launch titles for PS2? Definitely not!

Using the PC box art in Wikipedia makes more sense because Wikipedia was developed for viewing on Personal Computers(rather, Wikipedia is meant to be accessed with a PC). I hope you take my comment in the right sense.

As a general rule of thumb, I say that the PC box art should be used for all games that have a PC version.

P.S.: Okay, exceptions like Halo can be allowed. Let's discuss this...

[edit] Set Up Tuning

Hey ZS - Sorry about the edit. Personnally, I was unaware that you could do that on nearly all the NFS games, it's just that it seems wierd to me to you can tune a car during a pursuit (even though the tuning options are too simple in Most Wanted IMO), so I thought it would be worth mentioning it and I was going to add that it seemed "wierd" to have such an option during a pursuit but not for a race, but I don't mind.--Skully Collins 15:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Message by 193.231.125.64 pertaining Grand Theft Auto (series)

Excuse me if you do not like the 1995 thing.I thought about the three-years pass to enxt game thing and it came out that GTA would be in 1995.I thought of it as a good idea,as a guy once said that most of the ideas in GTA came from 1995.If you do not like it,then delete it,please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.231.125.64 (talkcontribs).

[edit] sean mc sean and VCS

Hey,

I've noticed that an editor named sean mc sean keeps vandalizing the VCS page. I think he means well, but he keeps deleting the Avenging Angels section, adding barely leglible sentences, and adding pointless gangs etc. I know we shouldn't "bite the newbies" and all that jazz, but every time I revert to your old version, he doesn't get the hint and adds his junk again. Could you leave him a message on his talk page? I would, but I'm not a hardcore wiki-guy and don't really know the best way to tell him to cease. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Oodus (talkcontribs).

[edit] Re:CVG navbox standardization

Yeah, I think there should be something done about it. I never approached it because I knew it would be reverted and start a big edit war, seen on other game templates. There are also a lot of articles that are probably gonna be AfD'd soon, so I don't know yet.

[edit] Images in the Black Mesa Research Facility article

There is currently a discussion at the BMRF article concerning the images being used. Specifically, an admin, Geni, believes that there are too many, and has already cut way over half the images that were previously in the article. He says that the number of images was not in accordance with Wiki's fair use criteria. In order to meet this policy, I believe that a certain and specific number should be kept. Since you took or updated many of the images, I would greatly appreciate your opinion on the images I have proposed to keep. However, Geni has already added the orphaned fair use tag to many of the images, so they will be deleted in about five days. I don't mean to hasten your response, but unfortunately a time limit has been imposed in this case. :( MarphyBlack 03:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SimCity 3000 screenshot

I feel that the in-game screenshot of SimCity 3000 that features the World Trade Center should be deleted and replaced with an image that does not contain it, since the WTC is a highly sensitive issue. I understand that the screenshot is used in the discussion to demonstrate the gameplay, however I feel that the image as it is may not be keeping in with a NPOV, since some people may become upset by it. Surely, having the WTC in the screenshot is not necessary to illustrate the play of the game. I feel that the image should be replaced with a similar in-game screenshot, but without the WTC.

I don't have a problem personally with the image. I was just concerned in case anyone else would have found discontentment with it. I apologize if my comment was at all disconcerting. You did a good job on that city, too, by the way. Stovetopcookies 03:34, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need for Speed: Underground

Hi, ZS. I was surprised to see that you replaced the PC box art with the PS2 one, after all, you had agreed that the PC box art of games that have a PC version should be used. Today, I got a message from one of the admins that the Image:NFS U PC.jpg was orphaned. I saw that you reverted it because of the EA Classics cover. Could you replace the cover with a standard PC box art instead? Because whenever I upload a new version of any picture, it doesn't get changed. Regards rohith 14:37, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: NFS:U

I can't replace an image with a new version of that image. The old version will still be displayed, with the dimensions stretched/shortened to that of the new image. And, it doesn't get cured by clearing my browser's cache either. And mine is a broadband, too(384kbps). Anyway, what I was trying to say was that could you upload a new version of Image:NFS U PC.jpg or Image:Nfsubox.jpg?(As opposed to uploading an image as a new file altogether) And could you upload the PC box art this time? rohith 17:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Replied at messager's talk page
I was wondering whether you could upload a new PC box art and replace either of the existing ones.(I'm nearing my max. data transfer limit) rohith 18:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GTA Navigational boxes

I noticed that you have redesigned the navigational boxes on the bottom of GTA related articles. I personally believe that the following template would be better because it is what most articles seem to be using. Also when many different sized and / or styled navigational boxes are placed at the bottom of an article it can look quite unpleasant. This template could be used for all GTA related navigation boxes too.

[edit] Seconds From Disaster

You sent me a message earlier about whether the articles i was doing was based on the seconds from disaster program and in fact it is. I've put stuff which i picked up from s.f.d on the articles is because some things which were on the previous articles did not have enough info about what really happened. For example the American Airlines 587 article previously said why the tail fin came off. when i saw s.f.d i decided to put points i picked up and put them in the article so that people know the reasons weren't caused by something else, say a fault in the fin itself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by B06Todd (talkcontribs).

Reply: The last post that you had provided doesn't indicate that it was concerning who is editing who (it would be appreciated if sufficient details are included when discussing in this talk page), and as such, left me to assume that the post is referring to casual discussions. Neither have I expected one to direct a message to the wrong user and leave the message uncorrected for almost a day.

On that note, have you looked into the history page of the article again? The page should locate specific editors who made specific edits accurately. You could also try additionally to bring up discussions on article changes in the article's talk page as well (although the likeliness of replies varies from topic to topic).

Btw, I've used GTAForums with few conflicts with other forum goers; it's expected to be a proper place to discuss GTA topics as long as one has proper etiquettes. ╫ 25 ◀RingADing▶ 16:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC) ╫
