DYK?

Hi, I saw the article you recently made He Fucked the Girl Out of Me and I think it may be worth nominating for WP:DYK, would it be ok if I went ahead and nom'd it (or if you simply did it yourself)? Iostn (talk) 19:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Go for it! What's the hook? ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 20:20, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I was looking at an article you worked on and followed a link back to your profile. The last sentence of it has a link to your Twitter account, but looks like you deleted that. :) ThistleChaser (talk) 19:29, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh damn! Good pick up. Which article was that? I should probably find a way to get rid of that. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 22:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Backyard Football Draft

Hey. I just found out you declined my draft. Really sorry I missed a few details. I've just been having trouble finding sources related to Backyard Football. Most Backyard Sports-related articles are related to Baseball instead (I was lucky that How Backyard Baseball Became a Cult Classic had a brief mention about Backyard Football preceding Backyard Baseball 2001 and the fact that the former was the first to include pro players before the latter). And the reason I only had one review listed was because that was the only one I could find. I found that review on Mobygames, but there were only three other reviews; two of them didn't even let me onto their archived websites and the other one just didn't look reliable enough. Besides, the game isn't even on Metacritic; the only versions available on there are the GameCube version and the 2010 version. 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:C536:DF6B:1EB6:F37B (talk) 13:54, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

After you declined my Backyard Football draft, I started looking for more places and wanted to personally ask you, do you personally think that any of the BYF reviews on GameSpot might be notable enough to add? 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:C536:DF6B:1EB6:F37B (talk) 18:16, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Could you shoot me the link of the GameSpot review? The Allgame review would be definitely reliable - none of the Mac magazines are listed as RS but could be decent reviews if the content is alright. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 08:40, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

[1][2]

These are the only GameSpot reviews that are related to the original 1999 BYF (the others are either related to the GBA or GC versions). Also, the Allgame review is offline, and I don't know if I could find the full thing. 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:31E4:4606:ECC:9966 (talk) 22:12, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

V R X C E S, are you there? 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:849D:3C14:8056:3DCB (talk) 00:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay - unfortunately, the GameSpot reviews are actually GameFAQs user reviews which are WP:USERG and not reliable under WP:VG/S. These are just random people reviewing the game. I thought you meant GameSpot reviewer articles. I reckon the Internet Archive and some sleuthing could salvage the other print/web reviews. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 00:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

I see. I guess we'll just have to wait until the release of its remaster to find more reliable sources. 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:60DF:4591:D68D:E4AA (talk) 21:57, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Pinball FX

Hello, thanks for your input. I've started by editing the Reception section by adding the Metacritic link and 2 more reviews. Also changed the sentence about Steam reviews.

I was wondering if the gameplay section should be less detailed and condensed down to about 3 sentences?

That table list certainly is quite long, but could be useful to some. There is a similar table on the Pinball FX3 page (Pinball FX 3). [as an aside, that page should be called Pinball FX3 rather than Pinball FX 3 - is that something you can tweak?] Should it be a collapsible table rather than one that shows by default?

This was triggered by someone on a discord asking why there wasn't a Pinball FX wikipedia page when all the other notable pinball games have one, and timing happened to be on a day I wasn't doing anything. I've had some assistance from 2 others who also play it. Wilbers (talk) 17:07, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

No stress mate, I know the notability process is a bit inscrutable and can come off as cold to editors trying to help. I think the best thing that can demonstrate the game meets the WP:GNG is finding multiple review sources from those identified as reliable on WP:VG/S. Three of these tend to be a clear, irrefutable case for the game being notable. You may find evidence for these from sites like Metacritic, Mobygames, Google News or the Internet Archive. It's important to note that some reviews included are just blogs or unreliable websites that may not help a case for notability. Can chat about the other stuff too. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 22:07, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I have been through that list of reliable sources. Out of those there is a review on pushsquare, an article on gamespot, and a video interview on shacknews, https://www.shacknews.com/article/135662/zen-studios-pinball-fx-video-interview. I've added the first 2 to the draft, but not the interview yet.

There was also a Polygon article explaining what the ticket system was, so I've added a citation to that in a suitable place. Wilbers (talk) 00:31, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Awesome! Push Square is a good source. I've also found situational review sources in Softpedia [4] and Gaming Age [5] as well as an inconclusive one in PS Universe [6] so I think this will not be too controversially notable. The other issues with the article are not as major and wouldn't as seriously prevent a draft from getting across the line. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:20, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, I've added all of those to it. Is the reception section now acceptable? Wilbers (talk) 09:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, the article now has enough sourcing to suggest it's a notable game. There's still a lot of cleanup needed to conform the article with the manual of style for video games, particularly excessive detail and non-neutral prose and I'm happy to help edit and cut some things that would likely be removed pre-publication if that would help. Otherwise, can pass and others can fix it later as it's notable at this point. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 21:37, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Great. There certainly is a lot in that manual of style, and I've only properly looked through the first third of it. The non-neutral aspect is one I'd struggle to fix myself, and some of the detail I'm not sure what to keep or not. The long table will need to remain (albeit moved within the article and/or made collapsible if that is how it would typically be presented) as its the only way to fit all those wikilinks in which will be helpful for the pinball WikiProject. Wilbers (talk) 23:52, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

No worries, at any rate, can give some pointers but happy to pass the draft. One minor note - as there's already a game called Pinball FX, might prompt a move to Pinball FX (2023 video game). On non-neutrality, can remove a few flagrant things like endorsements of third-party sources etc. Otherwise, feel free to resubmit! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 23:59, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, its had some more edits, with the gameplay section substantially reduced. I've just resubmitted it. Wilbers (talk) 10:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Done - it's now Pinball FX (2023 video game). Congrats! I've added some tags to the article for other editors to cleanup, but these aren't issues that should affect the article's publication now that the review content is in there. Thanks for your patience on this one. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 21:08, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Go Home Annie

Hello, I've significantly expanded the article at Draft:Go_Home_Annie with new souces and info. If it's ready it would be nice to review it now, as to avoid waiting time. Merry Christmas and have a happy new year. Kiksam (talk) 15:35, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

You too mate. The standard for WP:GNG for games typically requires a few reliable reviews to demonstrate notability, from sources like those in WP:VG/S. Can you find other reliable sources out there? All I can find is SECTOR.sk [7] and Thumb Culture [8] which are both not assessed for reliability. Those probably are a bit borderline for me, but are probably enough to pass draft and not raise any issues. If you're able to find any other reliable WP:NONENG coverage that would be really good.
