Re: Purah ↗

Thank you for the copy edit! A few bits threw me for a loop (why remove the brackets around the contraction and disconnect that one sentence?) but I appreciate the help all the same! Kung Fu Man (talk) 20:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

:{{u|Kung Fu Man}} No problem, and thanks in return for your fixes. I was poking around somewhere last week when I came across the article and noticed it was GA-nommed, so I took a look at it and things took off from there. '''sixty''''''nine''' '''• whaddya want? •''' 21:04, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

source use help

Hey again Beemer, this source https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342945119_Female_Representation_in_Video_Games ↗ is kinda tough for me to add for the article ↗. I have difficulty with English sometimes as I am not native, but only if you do have free time. I already sent req at GOCE for the article to be copyedited once again. Thank you again for making this article better when you actually helped me before. :D GreenishPickle! (🔔) 13:51, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

: Howdy. Unfortunately there's no mention of Ada in this paper. I ''did'', however, find some content on Kitana that's definitely worth squeezing into her article, so it's not a total loss. (And now I have to be nosy and ask, where do you call home?) :) '''sixty''''''nine''' '''• whaddya want? •''' 04:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
::I managed to find it and already added to the article, just in time you've replied here somehow, but not sure how to convert that source correctly so for now I just cited a bare URL lol:-D. Great Job. Thou, cleaning up that article is a nightmare. It seems like most of the editors here doesn't care that much at MK articles. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 04:30, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
:::True, unfortunately, but despite ''MK'' being one of the biggest game franchises of all time, NRS has also been consistently terrible at marketing the individual characters toward mainstream audiences, aside from the big four (Scorp, Sub, Kitana and Mileena). Heck, even characters like Eddy Gordo have gotten more mainstream attention. Okay, rant over. :) '''sixty''''''nine''' '''• whaddya want? •''' 05:00, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
::::Hey, at least we have Ermac and Liu Kang as "good articles." There's this one guy below your talk page who wanted to take Jade to GA, but the lead, appearances section and especially the concept and design section can take quite a while to fix everything, but it is worth it rather than cleaning up Kitana's article. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 05:07, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
::::So, Ermac was given a mask as a redesign for a backlash before lol. There are no sources yet to update his reception of the redesign in MK1 as of now. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 00:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::{{U|Greenish_Pickle!}} Thanks for the heads-up. Shoot, I feel like I'm the only schmuck out there who ''didn't'' mind him without a mask. The tweet is only a few hours old but there'll almost certainly be some reception soon. '''sixty''''''nine''' '''• whaddya want? •''' 04:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Re: Access dates in citations

Thanks for the notice. I've been using an automated fill-ins for some of the reflinks, and sometimes, they don't include access dates, for some reason. Nice work on Jade, by the way. I'm thinking of trying to get her to GA.

By the way, I've been meaning to bring back Goro too. What do you think of the draft? MoonJet (talk) 07:22, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
:{{u|MoonJet}} Thanks. Not sure why I felt so compelled to just dive in there and do so much in one sitting. :) I'm legit impressed that so much relevant reception now exists about her (and you digging it up), despite her still-relative lack of importance in the series. Unfortunately before I could then reply about Goro I started feeling unwell, so I'll get to that tomorrow. Cheers. '''sixty''''''nine''' '''• whaddya want? •''' 06:59, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
::To be honest, much of this reception has existed for a while. It just wasn't uncovered at the time she was in AFD last year. As for her lack of importance to the story, she's a popular character nonetheless. Not to mention, characters that has had sex appeal usually gets a decent amount of coverage. As for Goro, no worries, I can wait. MoonJet (talk) 20:47, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
:::{{u|MoonJet}} Hey again. I've also ended up dealing with personal issues this week (when it rains it pours) but tomorrow's finally my Friday and I usually save all my MK-related work for weekends while armed with coffee. :) Anyway, it's getting ''so'' much harder to find viable MK character reception nowadays, especially for the guys. Heck, I'm honestly surprised I've found as much as I have for someone like Ermac. '''sixty''''''nine''' '''• whaddya want? •''' 05:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
::::Yeah, so many of the old gaming websites and publications go under, so reception certain characters may have had before really thins out today. Not to mention, Google searches are usually filled with Valnet sites these days, sources that remains divisive among this community. I refuse to believe a character as unique as Goro didn't have way more coverage back in the day. I also want to see if the likes of Kano, Noob Saibot, Sindel and Quan Chi can be brought back too. But let's focus on Goro for now. MoonJet (talk) 20:54, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
:::::I think in regards to the whole Valnet debacle, there ''are'' some nuggets out there that honestly go into depth about a character (i.e., this ↗), but they're few and far in between. "10 Interesting Facts about [MK character]" - yeah, they don't have anything we don't know already. Anyway, I'll take future Goro discussion to your talk page.

Source verification on Mister Cee ↗

Hey! I noticed you removed a couple of lines on the Mister Cee ↗ article. I just wanted to make sure I'm not doing something wrong:

- on the Today article, it states, ""Damn man #RIP to the Legend and good friend MR Cee Fly High my Brother," rapper Memphis Bleek wrote." at the very bottom. 
- per WP:PAYWALL ↗, reliable sources shouldn't be rejected just because they're paywalled.

Is there something I'm missing here? Thanks! Staraction (talk ↗ | contribs ↗) 14:32, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

:In the meantime, I've re-added some parts to the article. Thanks! Staraction (talk ↗ | contribs ↗) 14:46, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
::{{U|Staraction}} Oops. I didn't even see the Memphis Bleek quote when I first looked at the Today article because it's all the way at the bottom. Sorry about that. '''sixty''''''nine''' '''• whaddya want? •''' 17:22, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Johnny Cage ↗

I'm starting a new thread because the topic of Ada to Ermac is becoming longer lol. Anyway, if you're actively working on this article and planning to send it into GAN, I'm happy to help in return for the favor that you did to Ada's article. Also, I'm dropping this one https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ermac&diff=prev&oldid=1218840316 ↗ just like the RE characters (this all started because of the success to an FA article Jill Valentine ↗). Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 04:55, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

:{{u|Greenish_Pickle!}} Sounds good to me. After these past 48 hours, though, I think I’ll take an MK break for a day or so and then dive back in again. '''sixty''''''nine''' '''• whaddya want? •''' 20:48, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
::Ah, cmon. I thought I saw another socks but it turns out to be you lol Greenish Pickle! (🔔) 22:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

::::It will be nice if you turned Kenshi into GA, given that you've worked a lot on that article. 🥒Greenish Pickle!🥒 (🔔) 09:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::{{u|Greenish_Pickle!}} I think you must be psychic, because after submitting my edits I entertained the thought that this ''might'' actually have a chance at GA territory. Only roadblock is the gameplay section that's in need of an overhaul. 💥Casualty '''• Hop along. •''' 02:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::Gahh, I guess working at MK characters is much harder, because of gameplay and especially at appearances section to find citations (It is very hard to find that for MK plot). 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 03:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::::{{u|Boneless_Pizza!}} You're telling me. It's so damn frustrating when you compare it to something like Resident Evil, where there's loads of stuff available (their characters being less cartoony doesn't hurt either). I'm going to have to throw in the towel on Kenshi and nom it again later after quite the reality check from KFM. 💥Casualty '''• Hop along. •''' 01:37, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

AfD

I think it wasn't really a matter of SPAs at the AfD but the sheer visibility of the page.

Sfn errors

Hi, when you worked on Mileena ↗ you generated some sfn errors here ↗ and here ↗, which I believe I have now fixed.

Do you know there are scripts to highlight sfn errors? Otherwise small errors can mean that the references don't match the bibliography. I use Svick's script, there are some instructions about it here ↗. TSventon (talk) 17:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

:{{u|TSventon}} Thanks for the heads-up and fixes. I didn't know the Preisler cite was missing, and regarding Carvalho, I had no idea how to properly split his name, so I just said the heck with it and left it whole. 💥Casualty '''• Hop along. •''' 18:54, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

::My main point was to recommend the script as it gives a big red message when there is an error. I looked at Portuguese name ↗s and I'm still not sure where to split de Carvalho, but the sfn template will be happy as long as the surname matches the surname in the full citation.

Sindel

We're already discussing Sindel on the article's talk page. I would suggest reverting your revert to redirect, and discuss there. Plus, I was just about to add another source, and I was going to add even more after that. MoonJet (talk) 02:48, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

:@MoonJet 3 editors already doubt its notability. So, I will say the redirect is valid. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 06:31, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Sergey Mishin's death

Hopalong, the reference does not even refer to Sergey Mishin. We need a reference for his death before we can list it. You apparently mindlessly reverted my edit without taking note of the lack of a valid reference. Kelisi (talk) 18:35, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Re Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Srini_Kumar_(2nd_nomination) ↗

I for one frankly do not see how it improves the encyclopedia if people are not doing due diligence research before filing AFDs, especially when they are repeated listings. I strongly believe your nomination was errant and premature and it should be withdrawn. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ ↗ 07:25, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Better source request for :File:ReptileMKXrender.png ↗

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

:File:ReptileMKXrender.png ↗

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright ↗ status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the ''exact'' source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{BASEPAGENAMEE}}}} this link]. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions ↗. Thank you.  ilikeyossy '''Yoshi! (msg me)''' 00:33, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Chris Turner

Hi. I'm happy enough that Turner was removed, as I doubt his notability also. However, factual accuracy is critical here, so please return to Rose Tattoo ↗ and search out the one reference to his name in the article (vague as it might turn out, it exists as one mention and not none). (this section ↗ - "Initially Cocks switched to bass guitar to cover Rilen's departure, then Chris Turner (ex-Buffalo) joined on bass guitar.") Thanks. '''Ref''' (chew)(do) ↗ 07:20, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

:{{U|Refsworldlee}} D'oh, and I'd initially seen that when skimming through the article but then forgot about it when writing the edit summary. If I'd known better I'd have said that he was mentioned only in passing. 💥Casualty '''• Hop along. •''' 16:01, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
::That's okay, a genuine oversight. (P.S. I operate a musicians tribute feature on a music social network I belong to, and sadly there's just not enough on Turner to include him in an obit there - so you are definitely not wrong to remove him, IMO.) Thanks. '''Ref''' (chew)(do) ↗ 21:46, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

"Bassist" is generic and can be deceiving

You recently altered a Deaths in 2026 ↗ description of Ian Hampton from "bass guitarist" to "bassist".

Personally I assume that anyone described as a "bassist" plays a Double bass ↗ though I can understand its use for anyone playing any Bass instrument ↗ that produces Sub-bass ↗ range sounds.

I realize that anyone writing in the context of a particular kind of music may use the word for whichever kind of instrument is used for that music but I think specificity is more informative.~2026-22893-71 ↗ (talk) 16:19, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
