Request

Hey Negative. Really random request, but I'm wondering if you have the time to skim over an article I'm working on for prose. It's Rain World. Gimme comments like that of a featured article. You don't have to do more than what I'm asking like checking the sources; I'm just interested in the prose for now. Of course, if you don't want to, don't do so. Thanks, and good luck in whatever you're doing in the future.

P.S. Congratulations on all of these awards being given to you! You're a huge help to Wikiproject VG.

P.S.S. I'm not nearly done with getting this article to featured status, so don't take this too seriously.

P.S.S.S. Remember this? Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 22:57, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can chime in with some comments eventually, but my time dedicated to on-wiki lately has been a bit strained. What time I do have I usually want to allocate to either content creation (since I have an insane article backlog I need to work through) or talk page discussions. Again though, I'll see what I can do eventually. λ NegativeMP1 23:50, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 00:58, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I completely forgot about this. I have more time now, so I'll try to get around to reading through it tomorrow. If I don't, then ping me on Monday. I've got a long ride that day so I can probably take time to review it—granted, I'd be on mobile. λ NegativeMP1 05:49, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ping! Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 15:02, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I promise I'll get to it today whenever I choose to get on my computer (I got sick while out of town so I've been laying down for a while). λ NegativeMP1 17:56, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck with whatever you're dealing with. Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 18:09, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, anyways here's the comments.

Second sentence of the first paragraph could be broken up, as it's a run-on sentence that covers two completely different things at once. Similarly, the third sentence of that paragraph could be merged with a newly created, split sentence.
Citations aren't needed in the lead per WP:CITELEAD.
"brutal" unsure about the encyclopedic tone here?
Is there anything else to be said content wise about The Watcher?
I'm not familiar with Rain World at all, so is how the plots section structured truly accurate? Is there not really a proper story to be explained in traditional prose like many other games?
Not sure about Downpour's story being told via a bulleted list, but if you believe that's how it should be done then I guess it's fine.
I think the cult following and modding scene stuff could be included at either the bottom of Reception, or be made into a small "Legacy" section depending on whether or not there's anything else that could be made into one.

Do note that my luck with featured articles isn't exactly the best, so I'm not sure what FAC would expect out of this. This is just what I've noticed. λ NegativeMP1 01:39, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. It's very helpful.

I've broken up the second sentence. Need clarification for the second thing you noted though. Are you saying I should merge the 3rd sentence with the next one or a completely new sentence?
I'm pretty sure I misread CITELEAD, so I've removed the citation now
Changed
Watcher never got much coverage from sources, even on day of release
I've been told by the GA nominator (I'm not the GA nominator) that the plot should be removed/merged to gameplay since sources don't talk about it. I think I just forgot about that, so I did that now.
Same as above
I personally think the modding scene is fine where it is

Again, thanks for the comments! Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 03:47, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, scratch the second thing I noted. It reads pretty well as it is right now. λ NegativeMP1 04:25, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Volume Alpha state-of-the-article

I did some prim-tidying work and more expansion for the article just now. You're the chief contributor to the article in the meaningful ways, and I'm basically the second. Would you be open to putting this up at WP:FAC someday? I'm looking at a few sources that I may well be able to add and expand ever a bit. Great to come across ya, and happy editing! Barnt Toust 19:12, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I meant to thank you for the source reformatting and expansions, but at the moment I'm fairly busy following an ANI case. Anyways, I actually did plan on nominating Volume Alpha for FAC at one point, but I don't necessarily have a high success rate there and I'm not sure how well it would go. For instance, there are only two critic reviews. λ NegativeMP1 19:17, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, saw that bit on the dramaboard, and jeez, the sock framers are out and about! I tried out FAC once before myself, and it didn't particularly go anywhere. Maybe someday, though, but for the more feasible time being, and when you're not too busy and are able to—About the reception, I rewrote it with Fantano's two cents and with Sputnikmusic. I know the former is only a debriefing, not a full review, but his thoughts are valid and add into the structure of what I've written: a paragraph of artistry, a paragraph of legacy, and a paragraph of the content to the game. Frankly, the sources aren't the most ideal, but they're workable. Let me know what you think about how I've written the reception. Glad to see someone else engaged with building out Minecraft content! Barnt Toust 01:25, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but neither Fantano or Sputnikmusic are usable in this case and I specifically removed them from the article in the past. A previous discussion (can't find it right now) discussed that Sputnikmusic, while technically reliable, does not actually provide the credentials or proper name of the person reviewing the article. Volume Alpha's review is a case of someones actual reviewing identity not being known. The credentials of the author who wrote the review would be required for an FAC as the highest quality sourcing possible is requested. And Fantano's review... literally is not a review. It's basically just decoration for the review box. And his reliability is widely disputed due to the fact he's a self-published source. I guess I'll leave Fantano in for now based on the fact he is at least an established critic that offers some input, but I firmly believe that Sputnikmusic does not work here and I have removed it. For the record, these issues with the reception are unfortunately why I chose to not put in the work to FAC this. λ NegativeMP1 03:03, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? I don't understand where exactly you're coming from. What is known, and what is fact is that this reviewer was staff at snm. In all but rare cases, when presented with a valid site, it doesn't matter about not knowing much about the writers. Take the magazine Edge for example, where zero critical reviews are attributed to anyone, but you'll see it from here to there and even there, a Featured Article w/ tenure. Ultimately, what is true in both cases is that we know the reviews are written by the staff of a valid criticism site. I'm not sure what policy exists that says that critical reviews about a piece of media must have a clear attributed author, nor where someone who is a confirmed part of a staff cannot use a pen name.

When considering that FACs are meant to present the highest quality sourcing possible, that's just it. Unless we wish to wade through those forgotten depths of the Internet Archive, these sources—even Sputnik and Fantano—are the highest cut available on the subject, even though they may not compare to the sources of a Taylor Swift or Michael Jackson album, which I'm sure take full advantage of their relative maximum-caliber sources all the same as this one ought to.

I still myself err about Fantano, but I would personally accept his input because despite it all, you're right, MP1, the sources for the reception section are frankly dogwater compared to what's out there for other albums, and even the rest of the article, where The Guardian does quite a bit of heavy lifting and NPR even makes an appearance. But, the great sin remains comparing a particular part of the article to other areas and other articles, without considering a fair judgement of it in its own right. It may not be as strong a link as the rest in the chain or even in the machine in whole, but it'll hold just fine by its own merit, being the best of what is available to expand the content in that regard.

Point in case, I dispute you, Sputnikmusic ought to be reinstated. And Fantano ought to stay. Barnt Toust 11:45, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found the discussion where I think my concerns with Sputnikmusic arose (here). Maybe I misinterpreted the conversation though because I remember it being way longer and having a different outcome. Nevertheless though, I still don't have that much faith in using Sputnikmusic on an FAC because there's so actual real name behind the author.

Also, to refer back to "I don't necessarily have a high success rate there and I'm not sure how well it would go", I generally don't really want to go to FAC with this article anyways. Or any article in the near future, honestly. I guess if you really wanted to you could try. λ NegativeMP1 17:17, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm all for doing what Caro7200 said in that discussion, use it as a last resort. I condone the quality of the sources available, which means I think they're not "tremendous" but endorse them solely because they are the best available. That's the ultimate goal for this stuff, get the best available content in each regard. I too wish there was a name, but on the internet, that's not how it always works, and we're lucky to have a pen name beyond just a 'By Sputnikmusic staff' byline.

I find nothing added by a name attributed for a site's reviews, but cannot consider the lack of one a killer to the content within. Like on that Metallica review of your GAN below that I was helping out with, there was an NME review that had no credited author, we're just meant to trust that it's a staff member of the acceptable site. No concerns I can find with applying the same logic to Snm—while keeping in mind believe me when I say, if Pitchfork did something, I would switch it out in a heartbeat.

Minecraft image

Hi, why is this image "100% a copyright violation"? If it is, then we should also be requesting deletion on Commons. But I'm not sure where the violation lies? — HELLKNOWZ ∣ TALK 20:08, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My concerns regarding it is that I highly, highly doubt that the YT Channel for the Mexico marketing subdivision of Xbox has the ability to change the copyright status on images from Minecraft. A similar scenario happened on the talk page of Doom (1993 video game) where it was suggested to change the box art to the one seemingly copyright-free on Commons, but it was pointed out that Xbox Mexico is not the actual copyright holder. As previously said, it is a marketing sub-division. λ NegativeMP1 20:46, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you're probably right. I guess technically they could not have released the video as copyleft to begin with. — HELLKNOWZ ∣ TALK 21:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"CC-BY" YouTube images of non-free works

I see that there is a minor debate regarding CC-BY YouTube images of protected images. The thing is, per Wikipedia rules, this is technically still OK. Hell, there is a whole category for Free depictions of non-free works on Commons, so, by your logic, every single one of them should be taken down. In fact, there is another image on the Minecraft page that uses the same license loophole. (the crafting menu image from Minecraft#Survival mode) If you really want to, you can make deletion requests, but I doubt they will be successful. You can still try, though. If the request doesn't go through or you change your mind, I will add the image back. Dabmasterars (talk) 18:25, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well the category and its associated template definitely makes me slightly more comfortable about the image. I still don't know if a regional marketing division has the ability to create free depictions like that, but I suppose its fine. λ NegativeMP1 18:30, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As long as the division is official, it's appropriate to have on Commons. The file description states "This file comes from the Xbox México YouTube channel, an official subsidiary of Xbox, which has released the source video under the CC BY licence", so that's that.

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello NegativeMP1:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

FLowey Edits

Hey PuppycornToonz Here, I was wondering why you removed my edits. They added info on how to get true pacifist route, as you simply can't just spare every monster, you must date Papyrus, and help Undyne date Alphys, so you can reach the true lab. Or that is what I have been told. If my writting felt sloppy, can you at least write it yourself in a more "Wikipedia Sounding way" — Preceding unsigned comment added by PuppycornToonz (talk • contribs)

@PuppycornToonz: I reverted your edits because Wikipedia not a game-guide. Wikipedia articles are not meant to be tutorials, they are meant to be encyclopedic overviews of the specific subject. Furthermore, even if we were one, teaching players how to play Undertale is not within the scope of an article about one of Undertale's specific characters. The actual manner of the true pacifist route is already detailed in a more neutral, well-written tone on Undertale, and that's enough. λ NegativeMP1 18:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright understandable. PuppycornToonz (talk) 18:56, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Boy Division

Hey there! I see that you've created an article here, but I couldn't help but wonder whether it would be better to bundle together both "Boy Division" and "Tomorrow's Money" into one singular article? I just noticed that a lot of the sources from its release, including NME, Exclaim!, and Spin, treat both as one "unit", and it wouldn't be completely unprecedented (see, for instance, Crazy Crazy / Sakura no Mori). Then again, I also concede that the two songs are treated separately on the charts, and "Boy Division" certainly has had a bit more attention of the two after its release. What do you think? Leafy46 (talk) 02:51, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, the coverage regarding the songs on Conventional Weapons is just bizarre in general and I don't know what the best way of covering it would be. I thought about what you proposed here and I do generally agree, but my main concerns are regarding WP:COATRACK. It's very clear that with the sourcing that does exist, "Boy Division" has the most coverage of the two. And out of all Conventional Weapons tracks, honestly, I'm pretty sure it is the only one that even slightly meets WP:NSONG or WP:GNG (except maaaaybe "The Light Behind Your Eyes", but that's a subject for a different time). So tacking "Tomorrow's Money" into an article with notability established for it in a completely different way, when it is way weaker in sourcing would feel... a bit off, I guess? I don't know how well it would work. I do see your viewpoint, though. λ NegativeMP1 03:16, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
