GameZone ratings

Hey Vrxces! Hope you're doing great! I have recently been working on Draft:MotionSports Adrenaline in which I've reached a stop sign. There is a GameZone review on this game, but no overall rating. What should I do about it in the template? Should I just mention it in the section? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 08:07, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

The archived version of the review shows a score of 2.0 for the game. But ordinarily yes, you would put a citation for a review without a score in the body of the text rather than the template. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 12:09, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much! MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 13:32, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

OXM Review archives

Hey! Thanks again on the GameZone rating. The article is finished. Feel free to check it out! I'm now working on another article, that being Draft:Storm (video game). Now, according to Metacritic, there are both reviews from the US and UK versions of the Official Xbox Magazine on the game. But they do not reference a specific date and time. Could you help me find the archives? You'd told me once you could help me find OXM archives when I had put up a different article for review a while ago.

Thank you for the constructive criticism.

My page on the Indie Game: One Hand Clapping has received a bit of an improvement. Even though I’m sorta anxious that I didn’t get everything right. So I’ll keep on working on it until it’s complete, bye! Cappyz (talk) 07:35, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know! It's always great to delve into editing and please don't take the rejection of AfC as criticism. I hope you are able to improve the article and happy to help or answer any questions. Everyone's here to try and improve things as best as they can. You could also ask questions at the Video Games Wikiproject too. I understand some of the policies may be odd so I'm happy to explain them too. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 07:45, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Fictional character article notablilty

Hey @Vrxces, I've decided to scrap A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games and I've decided to make a page on a fictional character from the The Lego Movie franchise. Its going to be on Emmet Brickowski, the main character from The Lego Movie 1 and 2. Even though he already has a mention in the List of The Lego Movie (franchise) characters, I wish to create a page just for him. Similar to how Lloyd is the only one who has his own article from the Ninjago franchise. Do you think this idea would be notable?

I also plan to make articles for both Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013, both being sequels to Your Shape and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved. Thoughts? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 08:14, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey, good to hear from you! WP:VG seems to be really fixed on character article notability recently. I'd definitely focus on seeing if you can find reception specific to the character from WP:RS as the first port of call as this seems to be the hitch that is causing issues. I'm probably better placed to judge notability for the Your Shape games - I'd see if you can find WP:THREE review sources for each game from WP:VG/S type sources. If there's not a lot of review sources out there, there's a pretty strong argument that the games should just be added as additional sections under the Fitness Evolved article. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 07:38, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey again Vrxces, thanks for the response. I have completed Draft:Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 but have come to an issue. It has been put under the category of Category:AfC submissions with the same name as existing articles, plus the article name is redirected to Your Shape: Fitness Evolved. Would this cause any problems in AfC? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 14:40, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Assumed someone must have put a redirect under Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 but apparently not. Shouldn't be an issue! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 06:41, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Article improvement partnership?

Hey @Vrxces, I had recently created A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games, which was recently moved to draft space by S0091 which I cannot argue with as I agree I kinda rushed that article. I don't really know how to improve it as this is the first time this has happened to me. I came to you as I know you have participated in AfDs and I read one of your earlier talk page topics on a collaboration proposal, so I wanted to see whether you were open to the idea of a partnership in improving this.

Also, for my earlier message, I realized the article had already been created, so I just merged mine into it so you could say I improved it. Awaiting your reply, MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 08:30, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey, how's it going? I'm not quite sure about notability of studios as there is a bit less guidance out there about them. Notability isn't really inherited by the games a studio creates, so at the bare minimum it may be good to see if there's sources where the studio and not the game is the subject matter of the interview; even interviews. Without background information like the formation, membership and body of work of the studio, there might be issues. But I'm definitely not an expert on this stuff! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:02, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

For reference, I merged the page history to Draft:A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games. – Fayenatic London 14:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe

I have some old sources I've gathered here, not sure what of these are used or good though, especially since I gathered them a fair bit ago. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 23:24, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Absolute legend! These will help patch in some gaps after doing an Internet Archive sweep. I love writing GBC articles and was surprised this and Link's Awakening DX were merged; these sources along with those in the developing draft should form a pretty self evident case for notability.

Permission

Hi VRXCES. Do you mind if I improve Grimace's Birthday and take it to GA status? TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 17:52, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Just a heads up though that WP:GA is normally nominated and undertaken by a significant contributor to the article. You may run into an issue with nominating Grimace's Birthday, for instance, where there is not much more to contribute and the article is largely complete (or at least I think it is). Nobody owns an article so it isn't about kudos per se, but being along for the 'journey' of article creation and editing can help be much more familiar with the sources and context that may be raised by a GAN editor and improve the quality of the review. That said, you are welcome to nominate any articles I have written that you have improved - just give me a heads-up so I can help the GAN review. Alternately, it could also be a more rewarding project to find an article to work on together? ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 20:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
