Many thanks!
An article merger ideaStarCraft Campaign Editor could go in the series article, since it is probably worth 1-3 sentences of notable information, but not a whole article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 22:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC) The WPVG Newsletter (August 2008)
Re: MoveIt's done :) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:04, 9 August 2008 (UTC) Edge, Sam & MaxI've emailed you the two pages of the review in separate emails. Let me know that you received them. - X201 (talk) 17:35, 11 August 2008 (UTC) Pronunciation of "Witham"Hello S@bre, I would have directed this question to User:Ksbrown who put the IPA transcription in the Witham article, but it looks as though he hasn't been active on WP in a while. The question, quite simply, is how you pronounce the placename Witham. I lived in Essex as a young child (Chelmsford), and I was quite sure it was /'wɪtəm/ (rhymes with "bit 'em"), but Ksbrown has put /'wɪtæm/ (rhymes with "sham") in the article. If you know that to be wrong, could I ask you to go to that article and substitute a "ə" for the "æ"? Thanks. Kelisi (talk) 01:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC) Codename: GordonHey. Since you're a member of the VALVe task force, I thought maybe you could help me. did you play Codename: Gordon? If so could you please tell me what you're supposed to do in that bonus level you get when finishing the game? diego_pmc (talk) 19:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC) Setting/IntroductionI think it should better be called Introduction, since that section doesn't talk just about the setting, but also gives a few details about Frohman's personality. diego_pmc (talk) 13:11, 23 August 2008 (UTC) Guess that means you're fine with both. BTW, you missed one 'naive'. diego_pmc (talk) 15:04, 23 August 2008 (UTC) Good Article Review of Starcraft: Brood WarI have already left some comments at Talk:StarCraft:_Brood_War/GA1. I'll continue to add comments as I continue the review process over the next day or so. --N Shar (talk · contribs) 04:35, 24 August 2008 (UTC) scriptThe script can't change the format from US to int. and vice versa. I wish it could, since some articles are revealed to have the wrong format according to MOSNUM's guidelines; but it can't. Please link me to the article at issue. I wonder whether the removal of the autoformatting has revealed for the first time that the raw formats were in the wrong format? Need to see it (going to bed within an hour). Tony (talk) 15:40, 24 August 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the award!Wow, my first award ever! Thanks! diego_pmc (talk) 14:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC) ScriptHi there, S@bre—I see you've done some good work in cleaning up the dates at GAN. Do you have the script that spares you all of the manual labour? Tony (talk) 08:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC) Re: StarCraft seriesSure, but if you can let me know what you're planning then maybe I can help. If it's going to be done in a few months then obviously I'd prefer it if it wasn't so long...

BJBot (talk) 05:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC) Fair use rationaleAny chance you can add them? Anyways, video game screenshots almost always belong in their respective video game articles, so unless you have an exceptional rationale of why the screenshot belongs in the series article rather than the individual video game article, it should be removed. Gary King (talk) 17:49, 27 August 2008 (UTC) Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 NoticeHi, As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid. We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded. You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page! The WPVG Newsletter for August 2008
Found SomethingWas snooping around for stuff for another game article, and came across this. Don't know if it's useful to you or not. The Clawed One (talk) http://www.gamespot.com/features/tenspot_voiceacting/page6.html
Found some reliable sources, and nominated it at last. Wish me luck! The Clawed One (talk) Re: Ghost FAC?Well you're the StarCraft expert; it's up to you. I'm sure you'd like to see it as FA, but what do recent news releases and such say about the state of the game?

TUSC token 7e5891be50488ecfbb693f6043fd5990I am now proud owner of a TUSC account! HeyHey Sabre. Can you help improving Empire: Total War they are lot of sources and section that can be added like development, naval combat and many other's. Also can you with Company of Heroes it needs to be rewritten and help it to reach good article and then featured article. --SkyWalker (talk) 15:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
GTR thanksThankyou for your support at Wikipedia:Featured topics/Adriatic campaign of 1807–1814, the topic has now passed. Regards--Jackyd101 (talk) 16:14, 24 September 2008 (UTC) Re: Development of Half-Life 2Should be better now. I didn't find any of the information in the other article useful; the summary that already existed in Half-Life 2 was sufficient. I merged the paragraphs together and removed section header. I'll spend the next few minutes copyediting the Cuts paragraph to remove any more extraneous information, then it should be all set. Gary King (talk) 17:15, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Re: Species of StarCraftNo worries. Now that I think about it, I do agree with you that it's important to have that stuff on reception and notability in the lead-on. I was mainly concerned before because the order in which it is discussed is a little awkward....the lead-in talks first about the importance and notability of Starcraft itself, then about how the races contributed to Starcraft's positive reception; then it goes on to talk about the actual races, and in the third paragraph turns around to talk about reception again. Might it be possible to reorganize that a little? Also, I don't know the official stance on lead-in length off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure having over 2 paragraphs is sometimes frowned upon. My suggestion for the lead-in is that the first paragraph talk about the races themselves and their roles in the campaigns (currently the 2nd paragraph of the lead-in), and the second talk about reception and notability; both paragraphs could maybe have a less crucial few details trimmed out. So, maybe something like this:
How does that sort of setup look to you? --Politizer (talk) 20:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Species of StarCraft Good Article reviewHey, I just completed the GA review for Species of StarCraft, (in fact, the whole reason I started editing it was because I had come there planning on reviewing it and then I got caught up in the excitement of editing...it took me until today to remember the real reason I was there), and it passed. The details of the review are here. Congratulations! —Politizer( talk • contribs ) 16:29, 28 September 2008 (UTC) |
