I would appreciate your comment at Wikipedia talk:Non-free use rationale guideline#Expand the guideline. Thanks. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 06:30, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your constructive criticism. When I placed the ((Plot|date=September 2011)) template in the article sections, they were immediately removed by other editors, even in the article Treehouse of Horror VIII, which is longer than 900 word and has multiple subsections, obviously against the spirit of what plot summaries should be per Wikipedia policy. Perhaps the actions of editors that automatically remove appropriate tags should also be investigated. Finally, I think the name-calling exhibited by Viriditas on the notice board to administrators is more offensive than my good-faith edits and a few errors. Thanks again for your corrections and friendly approach. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Northamerica1000 (talk • contribs)
The Good article section in Discussion pages in articles should be revised, it states directly that good articles that don't meet criterion can be delisted as such. This should therefore be corrected. It is never by intention to ever be disruptive or counterproductive. Northamerica1000 (talk) 13:45, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
I can understand your concerns considering the EqD page, although the real concern should be about the article on that Fighting is Magic which I don't know how the hell it got past notability issues.

I am having difficulties understanding the sentence that I got rid of in the context of your edit summary.
"Reasons for this unusual appreciation include a combination of Faust's direction and characterization, [etc]"
I am unsure whether this sentence is referring specifically to the fact that Lauren Faust did the show, or the direction and characterization of the show, of which Faust happened to be a part. In other words, is the sentence saying:
"Reasons include ... Faust's contribution to the show"
or
"Reasons include ... The general direction and characterization of the show, which Lauren Faust helped develop"
If the sentence is intended to mean the latter, I think that adding Lauren Faust's name is irrelevant and only causes confusion. If the sentence is the former, the phrase 'direction and characterization' is confusing and I suggest revising it to the example sentence I provided.Enigmocracy (talk) 05:09, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
User: JimmyBlackwing has copy edited rhythm game for the purposes of an FAC attempt. Just wondering whether you wouldn't be interested in nominating it.

I see the last sentence does mention Dance Central being the "top-selling game for the Kinect", although that's just Nov 2010. What would we need on Tap Tap? The only interesting claim I can see on our current articles is Tap Tap Revenge 2' Already Top iPhone App, 500,000 Downloads. It's hitting me that I've really not been following new games in general for a couple of years and am pretty clueless about this part of the material. Still, hopefully I can chase down info on any given hints... The only other things I'm becoming apprehensive about are firstly the possible lopsidedness in detail between 2009-10 and everything else. Although mulling it over a lot of it seems to directly involve Guitar Hero/Rock Band and perhaps a deservedly hefty 2005-2010 section on the Western franchises is what we should be looking at. The other thing being whether the Japanese section is given enough weight. I'm leaning towards yes, just not totally sure: it seems to breeze through a little compared to those blow-by-blow sales figures found later on. On the other hand, I think even the less detailed sections are at least as good as 4X and maybe something like the history section of SNES. There doesn't seem to be a lot of directly comparable featured content to gauge against, hmm. bridies (talk) 12:29, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I've tried to find it for quite a while but to no avail, and webarchives aren't helping. Unless it is found, would it not be better to remove the dead link to re-add it if and when the review is located? I'm kinda new at this, so maybe there's some policy in place or something.

Thanks for your work on the above article. I'm not sure if I wasn't paying close enough attention during last season's finale, but I don't remember...
...the 'machine room' being so intricate - all those interlocks and stuff to get to it, etc. In the article, when it says they "take the module to the Machine room" - it kindof pops out and makes you say 'eh?'. Maybe it should be explained a bit more there... Perhaps we have missed something where all that containment was built up around it - but only a week has passed?

Please solve this mystery if you can...
On September 23rd, traffic to Portal:James Bond doubled, and has stayed at the new level since then. I can't figure out what happened.
See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Portal%3AJames_Bond
Traffic to Outline of James Bond stayed the same (though it was at the higher-level already), which leads me to suspect changes made somewhere in Wikipedia.
See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Outline%20of%20James_Bond
I'd like to find out what happened, in case it reveals helpful link placement tips that can double the traffic to outlines too!

Hello, I know you raised the Continuity section issue on the talk page of WP:WHO before and I came for some advice before I start chopping (this way I have a discussion to hark back to if the revisions are reverted). The article of "The Doctor's Wife" is fairly good, but it's main issue is the continuity section, which is about as long as the plot synopsis itself. What do you think should stay and has reliable references (though citing the actual episode something occured is okay if it's really major), and what should just be deleted? I'm not sure about the first paragraph and how I could find that information or whether that really matters. Also, is it really worth mentioning that the Ninth and Tenth TARDIS's control room is used when it's already in the plot and production sections? And isn't Rory's 2,000 year thing just an inference that it relates back to "The Big Bang"?
Overall, I would just keep the jettisoning TARDIS room thing as it relates to Castrovalva (with a reference), maybe the cube thing if I can find a reference, "madman with a box" (think I saw a review mention that somewhere), perhaps the "Ood I failed to save" and then absolutely "the only water in the forest is the river", as that relates to the series arc and I am going to easily find a reference to it right now. What do you think?

Thanks for your thoughts at Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content#.22brief_verbatim_textual_excerpts.22_revisited/ I'm looking at Maria_von_Trapp, where the length of the quoted material in the footnotes rivals that in the main article. I think I know your druthers; it would be better to identify facts in the quotes belong to the article, and write them in one's own words, in the article. On that point we agree, assuming I understand your position.
However, I'm trying to determine whether it is a point of preferential style or stronger. Unlike the example I linked before, where I could improve it in a minute or two, cleaning this up it a chore (and one of more than 6000 items to review, many of which have similar issues.) RAN has been helpful when I've pointed out clear cut cases - obvious copy and paste requiring rewrite or very deficient referencing. On this article I think I am on weaker ground; while I think it could be improved materially, I don't know that RAN is obligated to write an article differently, simply because I like a different structure. Your thoughts would be most welcome.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:59, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

I have performed a search with the contents of 2012 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: 2011 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series.

If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

Hey Masem, we bump into each other a bit on the video game articles. There's an editor going around that I believe is working against general consensus on how Plot sections of video games should be done. The user constantly tags plot sections with citation needed, including his own additions as he adds them. He breaks plots up into unconventional sections, tags them outright as needing rewrites (After making extensive edits), and populates them with excessive numbers of quotes from the games to act as citations. The quotes themselves possibly being OR. I've fought these edits (With talk page consensus) on a couple of articles but I see it's occurring in other articles that I don't watch, after reverting another one today that I do watch.
What's the best approach to attempt to address this? I've responded to the user directly a few times, including a warning about flagging all of their updates as "minor edits" when they change substantial sections of articles. I don't want to police the user's contributions everywhere, that doesn't feel right or in the spirit of Wiki. I'm also a big opponent to people dropping big tags like rewrite, which direct users to the talk page for more information, where the tagging editor did not leave any issues or suggestions. -- ferret (talk) 18:58, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Masem, I don't want you to think there was any bad blood between us. I have full faith that your edit was in good faith. What happened was when you made the edit a bit of the info disappeared (I believe it was about the soundtracks). This was, I'm sure a technical issue. I merely reverted the issue to save the vanished content. I always assumed that you would come back and fix it. Maybe I should of been more clear. 08:38, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

I left a note on User talk:Dream Focus#Merge != Delete reminding this editor that merging isn't deleting and also reminding them to assume good faith but the initial response indicates that they are still looking at this from a very defensive position. Would you mind weighing in there as well? Maybe having 2 editors share their thoughts will help. If nothing else it will allow us to take this to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct to get some other points of view.

Masem, you do a lot of good work on here, but the VP thread is I think indicative of a recurring problem I've seen with you. It's not a consistent problem, but it has been a periodically recurring one. I had no problem with you proposing merger, just as I'm sure you had no problem with me disagreeing with it; the problem was with how tendentiously you carried on your side, and how you were justifying it on a subject that was easily volatile without really knowing what you were talking about, i.e., without understanding how reliable sources, aka the real world, frame the subject and issues. And you kept at it even when this was brought to your attention and offense was expressed, by posting wall after wall of text. You had already expressed your opinion; the best thing to do would have been to just drop it, maybe even apologize, but instead you dug yourself in deeper, as if you had to get the last word no matter what.
I think you can be too much of a policy wonk (contra WP:IAR, if nothing else), which can blind you to the content issues (or even just alternate interpretations of policy) presented by others. Whether because of this, or in addition to it, you also have a tendency sometimes to just repeat yourself in the face of persistent disagreement without advancing your argument or showing how you understand the other viewpoint, and you do it in a lot of words with every post. And in a manner that can seem like you're trying to lecture rather than truly respond. It's less likely to raise hackles in abstract policy discussions, but this was particularly a problem when you were dealing with a subject that obviously brings a lot of emotion with it to a lot of people, one that you admittedly were unfamiliar with, yet you still kept at itIn that context, ignorant statements, no matter how well intentioned, are almost unavoidably offensive. Now that was the first instance in which I have seen that particular problem from you, but I think it stems from the broader issue, that you can focus on your view of policy so much that you elevate compliance over other concerns, and your feeling of certainty and lecturing tone kept you from seeing that you were trying to school people on how to handle a subject that you just didn't understand. No doubt not everyone may agree with me on this, but you know I'm a prolific contributor here on a wide variety of subjects, not a POV warrior, and someone who has regularly participated in policy discussions, closed AFDs, and used his admin tools without any controversy. So I hope you'll take these observations seriously coming from me, take it to heart as constructive criticism, and reflect on how you can improve on these issues. postdlf (talk) 15:57, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

The game hasn't even begun development yet, so it's important to isolate all the (indeed very important) information about its financing, and the impact that's having from discussion of the game's development in order to keep the article organized and useful. Given the proposed "transparency" of the project, there will likely be a lot to say about the development, but none of the information in the article is development related. Discussing how the industry has reacted to this and all is important, but you can't call it "development" or it'll just be a blob of rambling text that no one can use.

Hi Masem, seeking your advice and/or help. A college friend of mine recently released "Break Blocks" through his company "Greater Good Games", being published by Tripwire. Googling a bit, I see a Gamespot review and a few other hits that may work for notability. However I feel I have a conflict of interest here, as I'm looking into the topic because of talking to him.

Hi. I noticed you reverted my link to the Rock Band Aide article pointing out that Harmonix accidentally leaked the Three Days Grace DLC. Just to let you know: that is an 100% reliable source. Harmonix even sponsors Rock Band Aide, and they post all of their trailers for DLC on YouTube. And if you read the article (which I'm assuming you didn't), they even gave a LINK to the blog that they accidentally leaked containing the DLC (which they removed shortly after, but I managed to see it before it was removed) and they even posted the trailer of that DLC on that article.
Anyways, I know you probably didn't read the article so it's all good. Just note that for the future ;)

I saw you reverted my edits but see no mention that articles about porn films and actor articles are permitted. The reason being WP:Censor is linked directly from Talk:Main Page and I wanted to calrify that its pointless moaning about topics like gay pornography being directly linked on the main page on Saturday afternoons as the "community" fullly supports it.

Hi Masem,
I'm suggesting that essayification of the failed proposal Wikipedia:Notability (fiction), which you began on & December 2010, should be reverted to preserve the record of the failed proposal.

IP.*.86 seems to be a on some sort of crusade with fiction guidelines. We have both reverted his edits at this point and he seems to be determined to edit war making massive changes without discussion. Ridernyc (talk) 00:23, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Ridernyc seems determined to editwar to revert back over a month of changes by multiple people. He's trolling my talk page as well. 86.** IP (talk) 00:35, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
The fair use section is IN the edits I reverted; it's just moved to a more logical position. Your 3RR reporting is malformed, contains a lie about something that wasn't a revert of anyone else, and shows you haven't actually looked at the diff in question. You clearly did not bother to actually review the diff you reverted, which does not show due diligence on your part, the 3RR report shows you did not even bother to review the edits in question, or you'd have noticed that I agreed with you, and left the Fair use section stand, due to your argument. It did move slightly, but that was due to me undoing my edit because of your argument at about the same time you did, and I think it got moved when I fixed that, but, really, I do think you need to undo your 3RR report, because reporting someone over false information is just wrong. . 86.** IP (talk) 14:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Indeed, your edit adds a direct lie. The paragraph of the copyedited section reads:
Your edit, based on ridernyc's changes, inserts a falsehood:
The Fair-use policy does not say that. The link's there, if you check, you'll see that quote does not appear anywhere in it. The revised version changes that to read:
Information about copyrighted fictional worlds and plots of works of fiction can be provided only under a claim of fair use, as such, we should limit the amount of detail to a reasonable level that informs the reader about the subject, while not going into excessive detail or attempting to substitute for the original work.
Which keeps the spirit - which is important - but does not lie by attributing a direct quote to policy which does not appear in it. 86.** IP (talk) 14:44, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Limbo (video game) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 10, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 10, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Limbo is a puzzle-platform video game and the premiere title of independent Danish game developer Playdead. The game was released in July 2010 as a platform exclusive title on Xbox Live Arcade, and was later ported to the PlayStation Network and Microsoft Windows via Steam. Limbo is a 2D sidescroller, incorporating the physics system Box2D to govern environmental objects and the player character. The player guides an unnamed boy through dangerous environments and traps as the boy searches for his sister. The developer built the game's puzzles expecting the player to fail before finding the correct solution. Playdead called the style of play "trial and death", and used visually gruesome imagery for the boy's deaths to steer the player from unworkable solutions. The game is presented primarily in monochromatic black-and-white tones, using lighting, film grain effects and minimal ambient sounds to create an eerie atmosphere often associated with the horror genre. Limbo received positive reviews, but its minimal story polarised critics. A common point of criticism from reviewers was that the high cost of the game relative to its short length might deter players from purchasing the title. The title was the third-highest selling game on the Xbox Live Arcade service in 2010, generating around $7.5 million in revenue. The title won several awards from industry groups after its release, and was named as one of the top games for 2010 by several publications. (more...)

The game is presented primarily in monochromatic black-and-white tones, using lighting, film grain effects and minimal ambient sounds to create an eerie atmosphere often associated with the horror genre. Limbo received positive reviews, but its minimal story polarised critics. A common point of criticism from reviewers was that the high cost of the game relative to its short length might deter players from purchasing the title. The title was the third-highest selling game on the Xbox Live Arcade service in 2010, generating around $7.5 million in revenue. The title won several awards from industry groups after its release, and was named as one of the top games for 2010 by several publications. (more...)

Hi, re this revert, I'm just curious to why you believed this was 'good faith'? This user blanked out fully referenced sections, so they could ask about games and post their email address. Reading it through, it seems like they knew what they were doing. Best --Chip123456 (talk) 18:24, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

"You can not be serious!" Plot summaries are assumed to be referenced to the original source? Well, Ok, if you can show me where this is real, genuine policy, I guess I'll go with it or consider whether it is a thing Wikipedia should change. But it must be unique in that it is a primary source that is acceptable? Tell me more :) Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:05, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Masem, I ran across you in the WT:N archive as well as two recent discussions, mixed martial-arts notability, and then my attempt to clarify summary style in re notability. The latter is partly related to the former, in that I am trying to determine how summary style applies to a wide variety of N debates I have observed over the years, with MMA being the catalyst topic. (I believe that a clear statement of summary style might be a workable compromise in the MMA topic-area challenge, so I added text from other guidelines into WP:SS and have been interacting with Dmcq there, and at WP:SIZE (now an RFC there).)
As you affirmed, a number of spinoff articles and lists are technically nonnotable by some readings. Irrespective of the MMA question, I think it important to clarify somewhere (like SS) that these are not "N fails". It seems some count them notable because they are semilogical subtopics, and thus can be regarded as sufficiently notably sourced, while others count them nonnotable but "part of" a notable topic. But like 1998 World Series of Poker, they sometimes rely on their parent topics to demonstrate sufficient secondary sourcing for V.
I'm hoping I can start a dialogue with you to see if my ideas are properly interpreting the guidelines or if there needs to be further clarification. It seems this has not been settled because there are multiple POVs about what N means in these cases, and that ambiguity may need to be preserved. But this is just to whet your appetite, because I've found it best to discuss topics like this with reasonable people first. JJB 05:22, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello Masem. I wanted to let you know that I made a request at WP:ANI for an uninvolved administrator to review the block of Xenos2008 as I believe it was made in contravention in policy. You are mentioned in the summary of events. —Psychonaut (talk) 21:05, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I saw you undid my additions to that list, and I was wondering what the difference between network songs and downloadable songs is. I wasn't 100% about adding them, but since I'd added them to the songs' articles a couple years ago, and they were still on the RB site, I figured they were okay. Thanks. —Torchiest talkedits 03:41, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

At Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content#Proposal_2 I said that our readers are apparently too stupid to understand that File:Casi discovery channel.jpg means they have reached an article about the Discovery Channel. That was sarcastic of course. At Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2012_June_4#File:Discovery_Channel_International.svg, you're being outvoted 5-1. Or course, it's not a vote...but it will be closed as keep as you are the only one voting to get rid of it. This completely breaks policy of WP:NFCC #1. Every rationale on File:Discovery Channel International.svg is for identification purposes, to ensure the reader they've reached the right article. Nobody is so stupid as to be lost on seeing File:Casi discovery channel.jpg. But, that's not the purpose of the non-free logo in reality. The underlying problem is one of culture, as I've outlined before. When policy doesn't match up with culture, it's policy that has it wrong. But, if you try to change policy to reflect culture, you get shot down every time. I find this all very humorous! --Hammersoft (talk) 20:28, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
