Wikipedian. I'd be a bit worried if there were any Wikipaedophiles around here. -- Steel 21:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: MGS3

I accept that my wording might not be the best, though I didn't think yours was much better either. I'll think of a different wording and ask a friend of mine (who's read more of Edge than I have) if he has anything to say. -- Steel 00:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC) P.S. I'm going to remove your comment about adminship from my talk page since I'm not actually an admin. Not sure where you got that from :P

[1]. What's that in English? -- Steel 00:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I dunno, and 1:30am is too late to be having this discussion anyway. Oh, and ZoE2 deserves more than a 4/10, even if the anime style graphics don't really appeal to me. -- Steel 00:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MGS3 storyline

That really is an excellent story section. The only slight concerns I have is that you don't really emphasise the relationship between The Boss and Snake, so at the end when you say they have an emotional battle, it's not entirely clear why. Also, you don't mention the legacy and the philosophers until the end, when they are in fact introduced before then. While I was strongly against giving them entire sections to themselves (as was the case in the old version), they do need to be explained where they're relevant to the story. Other than that, you did a great job with that. No, really, you did. Better than I could do. -- Steel 11:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I responded to your response

I responded to your response in the MGS4 Talk page. 24.23.51.27 10:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Hitman query

Thank you very much for your Hitman answer. I had really a mind trouble about this and I appreciate your answer very much. --Λeternus 13:01, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feeder (band)

Howdy!,

I was wondering if you could review the Feeder article please? :). I've given it a slight re-write with references citing statements that were not cited before, after I submitted the article to a few users and acted on their feedback.

The problem was that there was not enough cites, and cites that were there needed a clean-up with author name and retrieval dates.

Cheers!.

Nae worries, when I've got a chance I'll give it a once-over. Hyperspacey 15:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback!! :), I've now had a go at merging some sentences together with the paragraphs in each section bar the introduction.

What do you think of the merging I've done?, is it keeping a good flow going or confusing any outside reader?.

Marcus Bowen 19:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks fine my man, good for a Good Article review and then try for Featured Article. Hyperspacey 21:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I've recieved this feedback regarding a Peer Review I submitted, it looks pretty much a bit of work if we want Good Article status.

Marcus Bowen 08:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Howdy!. I have now given the article a re-write based on your version :-). Another Wikipedian who did the peer review assessment suggested I should go ahead with a "Good Article" nomination :D.

[edit] Centralized video game navbox discussion

You previously expressed a strongly-stated opinion about a video game navbox or all video game navboxes in general, or perhaps I clicked on your talk page by mistake. Whichever it is, you are invited to offer your opinion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#Navboxes III: Son of Navboxes. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metal Gear Solid

"If you think there is any chance that another editor might dispute your change, please do not mark it as minor. Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette, especially if the change involves the deletion of some text." - Wikipedia page on "minor edit"

Deleting a portion of an article that someone has worked on doesn't exactly constitute as "minor". Having said that, the last part of your article/sentence does make some sense. I was trying to find a way to add in some examples of code names initially, but I couldn't remember too many of them. Upon reading your edit, the code name "puma" came to mind, as it was commonplace in my MGS experience. The word "playthrough" struck me as odd though, so I looked it up, and I only found some instances in which it was used. It was two words instead of one, and it was used in a different context, closer to a verb than a noun. --Silent Siberia 19:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I have a habit of marking re-writes that maintain the meaning of the previous sentence as minor, mostly since I'm just compressing wording down and making it more readable. I did not expect it to cause much dispute. Play-through, playthrough or play through as a noun is something I seem to have acquired through my reading of various game-related articles in the papery realm, and I admit it was a bit vague (note the timestamp on my edit, vagueness at 3am is a common issue with me!). Performance is definitely an improvement. Hyperspacey 03:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I see. Well, what's done is done. You like to be brief and I like to be descriptive, but I'm content with what is on the page now. Thank you for all.--Silent Siberia 22:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Cheers for the heads-up anyway, I'll mark any re-writes as non-minor in future for sake of possible debate. Hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia, I see you're new. I'm working on the MGS2 page at the moment, so feel free to dive in! Hyperspacey 02:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
