Video Game draft

There is a draft of a video game subject at Draft:Luigi death stare that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 17:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

I have created a sandbox for the subject Luigi which featured a section that discusses the meme. Also I did try to see whether or not the meme is notably enough for its own article however, due to the sources, I decided to merge it with my Luigi sandbox for now. NatwonTSGTALK 01:41, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
It would be an insanely hard sell that this would be notable separate of Luigi. I don't think it became that big of a meme that WP:OVERLAP wouldn't apply. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Discussion at RSN

There is currently a discussion being held at WP:RSN about whether or not denofgeek.com ([1]) qualifies as a reliable source. Feel free to chime in with your thoughts here. JeffSpaceman (talk) 21:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Everybody's Golf

Is there really a strict adherance to the DMY date format for Japanese games? Most games developed in the region fend to use the MDY date format, but the Everybody's Golf series' articles seem to rigidly follow the DMY formula. I don't think there is a specific guideline that demands it, and I don't see any problems from changing it as it definitely was not be controversial other than that it had been used for a while.@X201 MimirIsSmart (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

No, there isn't. The guideline is MOS:ENGVAR. Unless the topic has a strong national tie (it doesn't) to a specific format or an exceptional rationale, it should retain the existing format. czar 16:34, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
And keep in mind WP:DATERET - don't go switching the established date without consensus. Masem (t) 19:19, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
As Masem said above WP:DATERET, don't change date formats without consensus. Now to turn your question around: Were you right to make blanket date changes to the vast number of Japanese articles you have edited, to adhere to MDY without discussion? No, you weren't. Also whatever script you are using, can you please get it to function correctly and add a line break after the date template and not leave the first line of the infobox hanging off the end of another line. e.g.{{Use mdy dates|date=November 2024}}{{Infobox video game - X201 (talk) 08:43, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll take that into note. Also I don't use scripts. MimirIsSmart (talk) 08:49, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Mark Kern

Can anyone keep an eye out for an article about Mark Kern? It seems that it has become too interesting to anonymous users who either vandaliz it or add random/fresh tweets from Mark with their own ratings as the last anonymous user. Solaire the knight (talk) 09:50, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Why don't you request page protection?Darkwarriorblake (talk) 10:20, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
I don't know if this is enough, because in similar cases last time I was told that it was not enough. Solaire the knight (talk) 13:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Additional resources for sources

So this is something I've thought i'd share per my user page User:Timur9008#Websites_checked_for_information(Press_Releases,_links_to_reviews,_etc)

I've been working on this for more than 2 years now checking every URL (I try) for these websites. I don't use everything just the relevent bits but maybe other users will find use to incorporate other bits of game info into articles.

Almost all of these sites can be accessed via the Wayback Machine. Timur9008 (talk) 18:00, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

missing Jonny Quest: Curse of the Mayan Warriors. Timur9008 (talk) 19:14, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Added; sometimes it gets confused if you create a page and then move it immediately after. --PresN 17:28, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
