It appears I got into a edit war over on the article for GTA VI. While I feel like I the changes I made to the article were pretty minor other editors may not feel that way. I hope you have a great day! Ric36 (talk) 22:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

So article of Planet of Giants states that "a recreation of the original third and fourth episodes using newly recorded dialogue and animation based on the original scripts" this is sourced to:

pages 126-127 of Wright, Mark, ed. (2016) "The Sensorites, The Reign of Terror and Planet of Giants". Doctor Who: The Complete History

This claim is repetead in List of actors who have played the Doctor which attributes the narration for the Doctor to John Guilor without a source. I was wondering if you knew, or if you still had access to the book, could check the relevent pages of the source too see if John Guilor is mentioned by name, if so it could be used for the list so I can get it to FL status. I ask you as you were the one to add the information and source to the page. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:57, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@OlifanofmrTennant: Page 127 mentions Guilor's involvement in the recreation, but it doesn't specifically state that he played the Doctor. That being said, it's definitely true (see this video). Here are two other refs that specifically mention Guilor's role as the Doctor:

• Wright, Mark (September 2012). Spilsbury, Tom (ed.). "Planet of Giants". Doctor Who Magazine. No. 450. Panini Comics. p. 91. ISSN 0957-9818.

The article The Daleks' Master Plan you nominated as a good article has passed  ; see Talk:The Daleks' Master Plan for comments about the article, and Talk:The Daleks' Master Plan/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Hi,

The template documentation says the nomination count excludes wins. Is it wrong to point that out? Also, isn't it normal to follow the template guidelines? Additionally, see this talk Wikipedia:Teahouse#Awards nominations count. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Anoopspeaks: If it's stated in the template documentation, then the articles should follow suit (though, notably, that was only added more than a year after the template was created), but many articles don't, so it would be contradictory to add it to all of them. If you think the note is necessary, perhaps it can be added as an optional parameter, so you can activate it wherever it's needed, but I think wider consensus is required before adding it to all 1,300+. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:30, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Rhain A note is necessary as the documentation says it excludes wins. Otherwise, it will be confusing to readers when they see different articles treating it differently. Also, I am surprised that the clause was not removed from the template documentation, considering the majority use it as you mentioned. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 23:45, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Anoopspeaks: I think different articles treating it differently is exactly the reason why it could be added as an optional parameter, so it can be activated on articles that follow the documentation. I'm surprised the clause hasn't been removed too; it might be worth starting a discussion about it, since it seems most editors miss that part. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:51, 6 July 2024 (UTC)  Reply

@Rhain I had added the notes as optional, but updating the documents requires discussion, I think. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 00:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 13:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's so nice to have these sources at your fingertips. I searched the Internet Archive myself, but to no avail.

I already wanted to take something from the Portuguese article, but in my opinion, 30-50% of the information there is superfluous. And you have everything straight from the most basic and plausible sources. M.lebedev (talk) 13:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can you give a link to this source? Reiner, Andrew; Miller, Matt (December 2004). "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas". Game Informer. Vol. 14, no. 140. p. 170. M.lebedev (talk) 13:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oh, that's it. I found it thanks to the link you sent earlier. M.lebedev (talk) 13:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rhain, have you completed your review of this nomination? The review isn't considered complete until an icon has been included indicating the status of the nomination; a tick is required to signal the bot of this completion so it knows to move the nomination to the Approved page, and so that promoters can tell whether it's a regular or AGF approval. Please return as soon as you can to continue (or complete) your review. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Seems I forgot the tick—thanks for the ping. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Saying that Rockstar Games is developing Grand Theft Auto VI while it's developed by other studio which only belongs to Rockstar Games (to be strict, even this is not officially confirmed) is false. Eurohunter (talk) 13:37, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

For this reason, there is no developer mentioned in infobox. Eurohunter (talk) 13:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

We know is that the game is in development by Rockstar Games; this is both true and verifiable. If we discover the primary developer is one of its subsidiaries, the article can be edited accordingly. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 13:44, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

User:TechnoSquirrel69 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

This is one of those cases where I'm shocked the editor has not been recognized with this award before. Rhain (talk · contribs · count · logs) is a content creation veteran with over 70 GAs spanning the last decade, primarily relating to video games. Some of my favorite examples of his work are   Hayao Miyazaki and   Red Dead Redemption 2, not to mention   The Last of Us (all Million Award–eligible, by the way)! I met Rhain when he reviewed my first GAN, and above even his considerable writing experience, I was struck by his attention to detail and his humble, helpful communication style — two things I'm sure will stick with me throughout my editing journey. This project needs more editors like him, and I hope you'll agree he deserves this recognition as a small token of the community's appreciation. Seconded by MPGuy2824.

Congratulations to Editor of the Week, - seems about time ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm following up about your recent reverts of me, where I classified Characters of The Last of Us Part II as a list, which I was quite confused by. Just to be clear, you don't think the items included at List of The Last of Us characters are lists? Additionally, you also nominated and helped promote Characters of the Last of Us to featured list status. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Check the edit history and WP:NVGC. There's also a relevant discussion here. In short, it was loosely determined that character lists with significant individual development and reception are article-class, whereas plain lists are list-class. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
