April 2026

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Il burbero ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you. '''<span style="color:#00d5ff">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>''' (<sup>Talk to me ↗</sup>/<sub><span style="color:orange">What I been doing</span> ↗</sub>) 02:11, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

GA reassessment for The Legend of Zelda (video game) ↗

I see you've made contributions to ''The Legend of Zelda'' (video game) ↗ so I thought I should let you know that I saw several {{failed verification}} and {{citation needed}} tags on the article and have put it up for GA reassessment. Given your past contributions to the article, you may be interested in helping. You can find more at the reassessment page ↗. <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; border-radius:35% 0; font-weight:bold; background:linear-gradient(300deg,#ff0d00,#1AD); color:#fff; padding:2px 5px;"><span style="color: white;">Gommeh</span> <sup>(<span style="color:white;">talk!</span> <span style="color:white;">sign!</span>)</sup></span> 16:27, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

:{{ping|Gommeh}} Yeah, I did bring it up. I usually like to give some articles a month or two before submitting it for a GA re-review as I feel these can be corrected but its also just what I happened to stumble upon. There are potentially more problems in the article I haven't really spotted yet or maybe a lot of them could be solved by simply reverting some sections back to how it was when it passed its first GA review. Hard to gauge but I'm happy to add some comments once I can give the article a bigger skim. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:29, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Space Invaders Atari 8-bit version

I recently added some content to Space Invaders (Atari 8-bit video game) ↗. When you have a chance, you may want to check my formatting as I'm not that familiar with the style used in the article.

Also, the article looks very close to GA quality. A bit of clean up and copy editing should easily get it ready. If you need any help, I'd be happy to give it a bit of polish before you nominate it. (Guyinblack25 <sup>talk</sup> 04:01, 22 June 2026 (UTC))

:Hi! Sorry for the slow response {{ping|Guyinblack25}}! I think you added them well! I had a lot of trouble getting into this format, but I think its worth it to make editing easier in the long run. If you would like to give it a polish please do, I can take a look at it after. I did think it was close myself but I guess I wimped out on reviews which you have gone above and beyond to add. Thank you! Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:08, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
::I made copy edits. Double check the changes to make sure the intended meaning was preserved. I think the last section still needs some more polish, but it should be pretty ready for GAN.
::PS- Back in 2008, I never would have thought old ports like this game and its 2600 counterpart would be able to have their own articles let alone reach GA. Congrats on giving these two life. I'm sure retro gamers appreciate being able to read about them in proper detail. (Guyinblack25 <sup>talk</sup> 15:00, 24 June 2026 (UTC))
:::Thankfully the developer seems happy to be interviewed about his time at Atari, so he's got lots to say! I'll try to check it out in the next couple of days. :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:16, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
::::Hi @Guyinblack25. Sorry for the slow reply. I made a few changes from your edits. It was basically fine outside one or two bits and bobs. The only big thing I think we need is a source for the genre for this specific version of the game. I don't disagree with your situation, but we should add some source that states the genre. Even if it just says "shooter" or whatever we happen to find. Otherwise, I think we could submit it after. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:37, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::Honestly, I think calling Space Invaders a fixed shooter is ok without a source. Space Invaders and its first ports are such basic examples of a fixed shooter that it would be as controversial as calling the Mona Lisa a painting. If it was a more modern game with more complex gameplay (like a shooting game with RPG and rogue-like elements set in an alternate historical fiction), then I be a stickler. That being said, you've done most of the work on the article, so I'll defer to your judgement. (Guyinblack25 <sup>talk</sup> 20:48, 2 July 2026 (UTC))
::::::Hmm. I think it would be fine to say its a video game. Unless you are involved with video games, one wouldn't know the genres. (I.e: my parents who have seen me play games, know who Mario is, but they wouldn't know its a platformer). Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:04, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Not sure if these are enough for a page. Timur9008 (talk) 01:48, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

:Some of these seem good. You basically have to look at them to see if there is content in them that discusses the game either in term of history (i.e: about the production, some sort of documentation that doesn't read like a database entry or a press release). Or something critical (i.e: reception of the game, where it fits in history, etc.) Like, I wouldn't use that ''Kotaku'' database entry for example as it does not seem to to fill any of those. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:31, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::This is all I found sadly. (Nothing on Newspapers.com aside from ads) I also don't know Italian so I can't really use that Electronic Games source. Timur9008 (talk) 17:21, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

List of JJBA video games concern resolved

Hi! I hope you're doing alright. A while back, you said that one of the statements about Joseph Joestar in the List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure video games ↗ was unsourced, and the only sources I could find were blogs, so I removed it. Is there anything else I need to do?

As always, thanks for your help and support! The article wouldn't be anywhere near as good as it is without you! :D - OpalYosutebito 『talk』『articles I want to eat ↗』 04:24, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Problem with case-sensitive reference names (James Pond 2 ↗)

Hi there,

I noticed that James Pond 2 ↗ apparently had a missing/undefined reference that appears to date back to this edit ↗. I wasn't sure what you meant to do at first, but I notice it was moved elsewhere under the name "EGM".

This should have worked, but as far as I can tell, the problem is that reference names are case sensitive, so "egm" didn't match "EGM".

It's an understandable and minor mistake, but I thought I should mention it anyway.

Thanks for your contibution and all the best, Ubcule (talk) 18:10, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

:Hi! Sorry for the mistake! I'll be more careful for further edits. I appreciate you pointing it out. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:24, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
