mercy point

Aoba47, i had a quick question regarding this article. would it be helpful to add "before the hiatus" after "only three episodes had aired" in the second paragraph of the "Broadcast history and release" section? that clause is in the same sentence as the clause mentioning the announcement, which led me to erroneously believe that three episodes had aired by the time of the announcement. i recognize that you had changed "two" to "three" in response to a comment at fac, which fixed an issue in the lead, though i admittedly feel that the edit made the sentence in the article body more confusing.

by the way, i thought you might find it interesting that another work in which joe morton appears is scheduled to be featured at tfa next week. dying (talk) 22:52, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dying: Thank you for the message. I agree with your suggestion and can see how this area is unnecessarily confusing and just not be best worded. I have implemented it into the article, but feel free to let me know if there is anything else that needs improvements. It is always best to make sure that everything is as clear as possible, and I appreciate that you pointed this out for me.

I am not sure how to feel when I think that this article's FAC was back in 2017 lol. Thank you for the Terminator 2 link. That is really cool. It has been a very long time since I have seen that movie so I should definitely rewatch it one of these days. Maybe I should use this as a reason to bring another Joe Morton-related article through the FAC process. Hope you are doing well and have a great rest of your week! Aoba47 (talk) 23:55, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2017): "This is an article about an American science fiction medical drama that aired for one season on United Paramount Network (UPN) from October 6, 1998, to July 15, 1999. With an ensemble cast led by: Joe Morton, Maria del Mar, Alexandra Wilson, Brian McNamara, Salli Richardson, Julia Pennington, Gay Thomas, Jordan Lund, and Joe Spano, the series takes place in a 23rd-century hospital space station located in deep space and revolves around its doctors and nurses. Initially focused on ethical and medical cases, the storylines gradually shifted toward focusing on the characters' personal relationships to better fit UPN's primarily teen demographic."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:35, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind words! It is always appreciated. I hope you are doing well! Aoba47 (talk) 13:45, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FAC

Hi there, you participated in a peer review I opened for the article I Am the Best a while back and I was wondering if you can provide feedback for the FAC of that article at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/I Am the Best/archive1. More comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 16:37, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nkon21: Thank you for the message. Unfortunately, I will have to say no to reviewing this FAC. I have already told another editor that I would review their FAC, and I have been trying to be more aware of my time on Wikipedia so I am not reviewing as much as I did in the past. Apologies for that. Best of luck with the FAC. Aoba47 (talk) 17:15, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FAC

Hello. Can you revisit the FAC. I think I have address your concerns, so is it possible for you to briefly re-review that section and withdraw your oppose. It is in my best interest for you to withdraw your oppose so other people can review it and/or support it understanding that these comments have been addressed. Wingwatchers (talk) 22:27, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wingwatchers: As I already said in FAC, I could not and would not guarantee that I would revisit the review. I may revisit the nomination when other editors have reviewed it. Other editors can review it even with my oppose standing, and some may disagree and support the nomination regardless. I would be more mindful about how you approach reviewers in the future. You have left me two responses on the FAC and now have gone to my talk page when I have already made my position clear on the matter. I do not want to get stuck in a fix loop where we keep going back and forth on individual examples, etc. I still see issues with the "Thematic analysis" section, my oppose still stands, and I would kindly ask you to please stop with the frequent messages. Best of luck with the FAC, and I hope you have a great rest of your week. Aoba47 (talk) 00:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but you have to understand my perspective. Before I proceed to invite others to review it, I want to make the impression that it has no major issues such as "fundamental issues with the prose". I understand that you appeared to be very busy, but this defeats the whole purpose of FAC which is supposed to be the active involvement of both the reviewers and the nominator. I have strived to improve it as best as I can according to your comments, but I cannot make any further progress without your active participation. You also said "Just by looking at the "Thematic analysis" section, I see fundamental issues with the prose [sic]" encompassing the entire article including every section beyond the Themes section including every single sentence in the whole production and reception sections despite that your expertise does no transcends beyond music articles which you omit by stating "I have not looked closely at other areas of the article" indicating that the entire article has so-called unimaginably terrible, fundamental prose issues. This paints a terrible first impression for any potential reviewers and obstructs any potential supporters of the article which is amplified by your FA article experience and reputation. However, when I tried to approach you harshly rejected me without any examples for me to further improve the article. How would you feel if I left extremely negative comments on your FAC and said I might not re-review it for various personal reasons? I want to believe you are acting in good faith but I am conflicted in belief because it appears at want to doom this article from attaining FA status in the beginning. You said you don't want to be stuck in a fix loop when in fact it is the reviewer's role to indicate problems for improvements. You warned be more mindful of approaching reviewers but I in fact do not want to approach you at all have it not for my extensive commitment to the FAC. I wholeheartedly want to address all your issues with the Themes section if you can be just a little bit more specific and assume your reviewer's responsibility beyond initial criticism. Thank you and I hope you have a great rest of your week too. Wingwatchers (talk) 01:23, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Upon reflecting on this I want to apologize for pouring excessive emotions on the above statement. After extensively reviewing the article article, it seems like your issue involved unattributed X challenged Y statement if so I have cited the authors who wrote that. Wingwatchers (talk) 02:26, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the apology. I appreciate it. Aoba47 (talk) 15:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving that behind us and after further extensive review, I referenced John Wick (film)#Thematic analysis and rewrote it from the ground up. Can I ask if it has at least started to align with your vision? Wingwatchers (talk) 22:27, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is looking better. When attributing scholars, like Laili, their full name should be used on the first instance as well as a short descriptor of who they are. The article currently only uses their last names without informing the reader about who they are. The subsection headings (i.e. "Sociology" and "Narrative") are unclear in my opinion and would benefit from something that is more descriptive of the contents. Also, for this sentence, (Frozen is interpreted as a critique of traditional gender norms and societal expectations.), it should be attributed who is interpreting the movie in this way. I am assuming you mean scholars, but it should be more clearly stated. Aoba47 (talk) 01:14, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added their full names, remove the subsections, and mentioned that scholars interpreted it for that sentence. Wingwatchers (talk) 02:24, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will strike my oppose on the FAC page momentarily as I believe this section has been improved. Just to be 100% clear though, it is normal and appropriate for a reviewer to oppose a FAC if they believe the article is not fully prepared for the nomination. While I appreciated and acknowledged your apology above, I kindly ask you to refrain from doing this kind of behavior to other editors in the future. I hope you learn from this. I will not participate in the FAC further. Aoba47 (talk) 02:31, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review request

Hi Aoba47! I was wondering if you take requests for peer reviews. I would like a critical look at Wikipedia:Peer review/List of best-selling Latin music artists/archive1. I would return the favor by reviewing one of your FA/FL content. Erick (talk) 15:37, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the message. Unfortunately, I will not have the time right now to do a review. I am currently in the middle of a few FAC reviews, and once I wrap those up, I plan on taking a break from reviewing in general. Apologies for not being much help, and best of luck with the peer review! Aoba47 (talk) 15:44, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Holidays

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King

You've reverted the edit on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King regarding the company Natsume. In fact, there were two separate companies that both go by "Natsume" when the game was released in 2003: Natsume Co., Ltd. (currently Natsume Atari) and Natsume Inc. Both companies are equally notable and it's a common mistake within Wikipedia to confuse them. Using its full legal name is a reasonable way to prevent such misconception. Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 09:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the post. I am still not fully convinced to be completely honest. My primary concern is still that the game and the coverage surrounding it uses "Natsume" so I thought using "Natsume Co., Ltd." could be potentially misleading. That being said, I do understand your perspective and I have restored your edit to the article. I will see how other editors respond to this change during the peer review process and the future FAC nomination. Aoba47 (talk) 19:06, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the naming inconsistency is a problem, I suggest re-formatting them into something like [[Natsume Co., Ltd.|Natsume]] rather than full revert. The reason I edited the original article was that the links were formatted as [[Natsume (company)|Natsume]], which is not only pointing to its old name (Natsume (company) was moved to Natsume Atari to reflect the company's current name) but it's prone to confusion between two companies like I mentioned earlier. Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 09:05, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification. I had somehow missed the change in the target article so apologies for that. I will keep your suggestion as I do understand your rationale about adding clarity and avoiding any potential confusion for readers. Regardless of my personal opinion, it is best to be as clear as possible in the prose, and on further reflection, I can understand how the edit helped to improve the article. It is probably best to fully spell it out in the prose rather than making readers click on a link to see which company is being referenced. Aoba47 (talk) 09:36, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retired

This is very unfortunate for Wikipedia. I really loved working together with you all these years. Not sure what initiated this sudden retirement but I respect your choice and can only hope for a comeback in the future. Either way, all the very best with all your future endeavors. Your friendly presence will be missed here. FrB.TG (talk) 11:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly hope this is only a temporary break. You're an angel in a world that sorely lacks them. Please come back soon. :) Krimuk2.0 (talk) 19:33, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I echo the same sentiments. You've always brought a sense of welcoming and helpful attitude towards everyone, and have always been respectful with your interactions to editors. I sincerely hope you take a much needed break (if it's temporary), but also wish you the best for all the endeavors outside of wiki that you wish to pursue. Take care!

The Special Barnstar

Very sorry to hear that you've left us, Aoba. You were the first person to ever review one of my GA nominations, and I looked up to you as a mentor for where I am today. I hope you still have notifications on so you see this, because you were one of maybe three editors I would say that I wouldn't be where I am today without. You were a great help at several of my GAs and at least one of my FAs over the years, and your help to the project was invaluable. I remember this not being the first time you've tried to retire, but I wish you godspeed in wherever your life outside Wikipedia takes you. I and many others will miss you, and thank you for being a mentor to my work. dannymusiceditor ^oops 17:00, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Aoba, I'm very sorry to see this banner - and even sorrier it took me this long to realize. I echo the sentiments of everyone above in wishing you well and hoping for your eventual return.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I only saw these messages today as I have been away from Wikipedia since retiring. These messages mean a lot to me. Upon further reflection, I decided to change my retirement to a WikiBreak as I do genuinely miss the editing and the community. I will still be continuing my break though. Apologies for not being able to contribute reviews as normal. My main reason for retiring was frustration with Wikipedia as well as things off-Wiki. I hope everyone is doing well and having a great 2024 so far. Aoba47 (talk) 03:22, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Boneless Pizza!: Thank you for the comment. It was a good idea to start with a peer review rather than jumping directly into the FAC process. I have briefly looked through the article, and I do not see any glaring issues. I will post so comments on the peer review momentarily. Unfortunately, I will not be able to commit to a full review, but I would try to get as much feedback there as possible before going for the FAC. Best of luck with it!

Hi there

Long time no see Aoba. Still busy with reviews? I have been nominating Vinland Saga (manga) articles to GA last year and in the present due to my interest over it, slavery storyline, and the themes they use. However, Vinland Saga (TV series) ended on nomination since March and nobody can give a look. Another user in charge of DYKs toned down some parts to fix the prose and remove quotes. If possible, could you review the TV series? I also plan nominate Heavenly Delusion in the future due to my interest in its story and gender themes but I'll first have it copyedited. Cheers.

@Tintor2: Thank you for your message. I was actually thinking about reaching out to you earlier in the week. I hope that you are doing well. I am sorry, but unfortunately, I am unable to review the article. I am currently taking a break from reviewing anything. I will be limiting my Wikipedia time to tending to items on my watchlist and possibly trying out things in my sandbox. I just do not think that I would be able to provide a really quality review at the moment. I have heard great things about the manga for Vinland Saga, and Heavenly Delusion does sound really interesting. If any of your articles are still up for GAN when I do get back to reviewing, I will take a look at least one of them. Apologies again, and I hope you are having a good week so far.

Yeah. Vinland Saga starts as a historical periodo of vikings as the protagonist Thorfinn is willling to kill anybody just to get chance to defeat his mentor . This is also accompanied by the rise of power of Cnut the Great who kills takes Thorfinn's mentor. This is the part that caught me too cos Thorfinn ends up emotionally destroyed and ends up being sold as a slave for the entire second season. Almost every episode focuses on slavery as Thorfinn searches for something to do with his life and sins which crosses with how Leif Erikson visited Vinland.

Heavenly Delusion could be considered a mix between the last of us and Lost due to the protagonists traveling in a ruined world while confusing flashbacks happened . Also, one of the protagonists is basically a transexual yet their partners feels attracted to them Tintor2 (talk) 02:59, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way. I managed to make one old game icon GA, Mega Man X. Since his games had a bigger narrative than the classic Mega Man's, I managed to find a lot of deep commentary about his characterization. Still, it kinda bugs me if I made the reception section too big even though there were dozens of articles primarily centered around X.Tintor2 (talk) 20:55, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tintor2: Congratulations on the GA. For reference, I am looking at this version of the article, and just to be clear, I am only doing a quick scan-through and not anything thorough. I can understand your concern about the "Reception" as it does appear overly long to me. This section should be an overview of the response to the character. I would look through WP:RECEPTION, but I would look for common themes in the coverage and avoid trivial or excessive detail. This can be difficult to balance as the character first appears in the early 1990s, but it is possible. It would be best to stick to higher quality sources, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources is a helpful resource for video game references. You could also experiment around breaking this section off into smaller subsections.

The second paragraph is quite long and devoted to a single source. This source should be better integrated into the prose and in my opinion, there is an undue weight given to it. I have a similar concern with the way that the Rosângela Fachel de Medeiros is included in the prose. I also notice several other issues with the prose. For instance, this part should be revised, The book 100 Greatest Video Game Franchises compared, as a book does not compare things. I would revise this part, Anthony Hubeny from Stockholm University, to include a better descriptor as the university does not provide any real context for readers. I also notice some reference issues. For instance, this source has an author credited, but that is not represented in the prose or citation, and the Japanese citations would need to include English translations for their titles.

I hope that this is helpful. Again, to be 100% clear, I have not done a thorough read-through of the article, and it may be helpful to reach out to other editors. And again, congratulations for the GA and for taking on such a big, well-known character. Aoba47 (talk) 21:47, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I gave a bit of reogranization and trim some parts. I was kinda confused about what sources be used since there are several one primarily focused on the character in general rather than the video game (which became a bit more necessary in the game project to pass notability guidelines) Tintor2 (talk) 22:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
