Hi, if you are here to tell me about a BADNAC that I have caused, don't worry you're not the first. However you may want to know I don't attribute myself with any of the discussion pages not even in discussing anymore. So if you are here for those please feel free to revert any mistakes I may have caused without even noting me as I don't want to go back to discussion pages and screw up more for others. If you are here to contact me about other issues, I am active between 10:00 (UTC) and 22:00 (UTC). I archive this talk page after about a month or so.

Because I don't. "Kensuke Tanabe at E3 2013.JPG" needs to have the image re-uploaded with the two other people cropped out for Paper Mario: The Origami King. I don't have access to Wikimedia Commons, and I was wondering if you could do it for me? (Tanabe is in the center). Thanks in advance. You can find the image here [1].

Thanks for uploading File:New Pokémon Snap Cover Art.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:31, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Pauline (Nintendo character) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pauline (Nintendo character) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

One more thing I noticed, some of the refs are missing first and last names and should be added. Panini^🥪 23:02, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on it! CaptainGalaxy 00:34, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Captain Galaxy! I'm conducting a feature for the video games newsletter similar to that of a survey. I'm going to ask users their opinions on a specific matter and highlight unique and common answers to determine consensus on a subject. Your input would be very valuable, alongside others, to help answer this question.

The question is: How do you determine what makes a video game character notable enough for their own page? Do you follow pre-existing guidelines or have your own opinions on the matter?

Panini^🥪 10:53, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Panini! Thanks for asking for my input. Now while I'm not usually a person to create articles about characters, I was the creator of the draft for the Pauline (Nintendo) article. I created it when was still new to Wikipedia, so I wasn't the best at looking for citation. However, I felt that the character was deserving of an article due to her historical importance, being one of if not the first female video game character. I feel that, besides being notable with at least 4-5 independent references, a character needs to represent one of the following qualities:

• Having historical importance to video games (e.g. Mario or Pac-Man (character))
• Being a mascot (e.g. Kirby (character) or Slime (Dragon Quest))
• Displaying importance to other cultures' or communities' representation (e.g. Vivian (Paper Mario) or Barret Wallace)
• Shown significant popularity in the gaming industry, as well as outside the gaming industry (e.g. Pikachu)
• Involved in a contraversy (e.g. Tracer (Overwatch), Jynx or 2B (Nier: Automata))

I feel having these qualities (as well as having the references to back them up) are what makes character notable for having articles. Hope this is good for the newspaper. CaptainGalaxy 22:14, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Captain Galaxy, Thank you for your thoughts. Panini^🥪 22:39, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Captain Galaxy, it’s PantheonRadiance. You may not remember me, but I helped a bit in working on Chuggaaconroy’s Wikipedia page, and I believe you thanked me for one of my edits on him a while back.

A couple weeks ago, I saw that Chuggaaconroy’s article needed to be updated, so I planned on adding more articles and citations on the page. Specifically, I wanted to include more information about the Runaway Guys on his page, from their formation in February 2011 to their Thrown Controller events they hold at conventions like Pax East, and their Colosseum charity events for Direct Relief. Since the Runaway Guys information was relatively sparse in comparison to other YouTubers, I figured that their information could merge with Chuggaaconroy’s page such that anyone who searches them on Wikipedia would be redirected to his own page.

However, I never got the chance to do this. A few days ago when I checked the Wikipedia page it seemed that the article was deleted due to there not being a solid case for Chuggaaconroy’s notability. I didn’t have the chance to contest this deletion before several admins reached a consensus. So after researching how to contest a deleted article, I’m planning on gathering a few other sources to present a case on why his article should be restored. Since I saw that you also helped with the article, I wanted to ask if you would like to help me restore Chuggaaconroy's webpage, if you have the time. I also wanted to revamp the page by fixing several mistakes on it, namely minimizing primary sources and adding a “Reception/Legacy” section on it. If you wish to also help me revamp it, I do have a rough outline along with new articles mentioning Chugga as well. If not, I understand; thanks in advance anyway.

Sincerely,

PantheonRadiance

Looking around for Mario Golf: Super Rush sources, I found a lot of reliable sources about the whole "Mario dies" meme, something you could possibly incorporate into the article somewhere. Panini!^🥪 13:23, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm conducting another survey for the Wikiproject Video games Newsletter. If you could leave your thoughts on the matter it would be greatly appreciated. Every response will be compiled into a MOS-Esque answer that balances the thoughts of our top contributors. You're one of them! The question is as follows:

What would you consider the requirements of making a video game series article? What about franchise articles?

If you would like to respond, please ping me here and write your reply. I'll handle the rest. Thanks in advance, Panini!^🥪 14:49, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The file File:Lego Super Mario.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused. Superseded by File:Lego Super Mario.svg.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated files)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 10:56, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Captain Galaxy,

It looks like some categories you created were emptied and then tagged for speedy deletion, CSD C1, but you never received notification about this. You can find them on the last page of the category Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion. These categories will sit for a week in the Empty Categories category and if they are still empty on February 28th, they will be deleted. I'm also going to post a notice on the talk page of the editor who handled these categories as well. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think that an article for Pokémon Legends as a whole will be needed now, now that there are two games to that name? Visokor (talk) 17:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not right now. We've only just had a second game in the series announced and to create an article about a series, you'd need coverage/commentary on the overall series and not just individual entries. Maybe in the future when these games become more prevalent, who knows, I wouldn't mind being proven wrong here. CaptainGalaxy 17:08, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good day and fair tidings to you, sir! As a fellow WP:VG enthusiast, I had the opportunity to notice one of your contributions to a Nintendo-themed video game article, which included a then-newly added reference to a specific issue of the now-defunct video game magazine GamesTM (#144, released 2014-02-06). It just so happens that I am looking to get a hold of a retrospective article from that very same issue, albeit on a different topic, titled "Behind the Scenes: Elder Scrolls: Arena" (pp. 124-135). Therefore, I wonder if you would be willing to share scans of the feature (provided that you still possess the relevant journal). Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time. 13:53, 4 March 2024 (UTC) Electroguv (talk) 13:53, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Electroguv, thank you for reaching out. I'm afraid to say that I am currently not in possession of these scans as I was more just transcribing a review mentioned on Metacritic. However, I will be on the look out for this issue online to help out your cause. Hope you find this soon. CaptainGalaxy 14:03, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
