By Wikipedia's policies on reliable sources, they are to be determined by not only the publisher, but also the writer themselves, and more importantly, chosen by context. In this case, the lack of citations, research, and fact-checking by the IGN editor demonstrates it is not a reliable source, which is a situation specifically described in Wikipedia's reliable source guidelines. I will add more sources, including a video which shows the character selection screen in the original GTA game. You can keep or remove any of these sources, or add new ones which are more to your liking. However, I ask that the information itself not be reverted to misinformation.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Jonah Hex: Revenge Gets Ugly EP, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. For further information, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Review sites. Malconfort (talk) 23:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Would you like to comment on this dispute? It concerns using Twitter as a source, particularly for album sales. Dan56 (talk) 22:08, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for your help on the article. I've been working to get it to Good Article status. I just wanted to point out that Game Rankings is actually GameRankings (no space). Thought that might be useful in the future. Thanks for your edits! --Teancum (talk) 00:08, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
Please don't start edit wars; I've raised the Halo:CE or Halo Combat Evolved issue up on the take page. Please don't revert the page again until it has been discussed on the talk page, or I will consider this an edit war, and will report it as such.

Request reason:
My account isn't blocked and I don't believe I've actually do anything wrong but it seems that the IP/IP range I edit from has recently been blocked for a 1 month, any chance that this could get unblocked? I get the following message when trying to edit pages: Editing from 92.15.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by Berean Hunter for the following reason(s): Long term abuse: Socks hopping this range. This block has been set to expire: 16:07, 17 October 2012.
Accept reason:
I've spoken to the administrator who placed this block, and they're going to reduce the size of the block that was affecting your network, and set it so it should affect anonymous users only. Once those changes are made, and as long as you're logged in, you should be able to edit normally. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hersfold (t/a/c) 03:46, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello dude, has been decided a while ago on the talk page, etf that is not screamo. By the fact that they have so much Users saucepans like you persists in putting screamo in the genres. Etf is not screamo, is post-hardcore, hard rock. Those in that genres of your sources, http://www.allmusic.com/album/theres-no-sympathy-for-the-dead-r832805/review, http://www.allmusic.com/artist/escape-the-fate-p782945/biography, http://stevenieca.com/tag/escape-the-fate is surely placed by someone who does not know right styles of music, and begins to be labeled, putting screamo in the genres. And these sources when you put, are of older releases of 2005, 2006. Find a source of some most recent releases, on a experienced music site, and see if you can find something saying that the etf is screamo. And this last source you put it, is a source of DOWNLOAD, download is not a source, is a propagand.

Thanks for uploading File:Halo4-ost-remixes.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Just for the record, the extra non-breaking space was actually a change that was applied automatically by the software I was using, via its automatic "correction" functions for typos and formatting errors, and didn't actually have anything to do with me personally. And an article being decategorized is a much more consequential and serious error on here than a simple spelling mistake, so you do have a responsibility to notice if your edits are introducing that error and to correct the spelling error manually rather than by simply reverting the edit which fixed the decategorization.
If you'll indulge me for a minute, though, I'm going to do a test edit to see if wrapping the name in our ((typo)) template will prevent that automatic "correction" from happening again. That template doesn't change how a word actually appears in the text; it just alerts automated correction tools to skip fixing words that are correct in a particular context but might be typos in a different one. I'll revert myself if it doesn't work, but if it does it'll prevent future problems without interfering with the actual article's readability. Bearcat (talk) 16:33, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Glad to see someone else uses my method of squirreling away sources for later. I've had other editors just axe them entirely before, which I find annoying. Best place to put them, I think :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 19:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
What else do you think needs to be done before we can take it to GA? User:GamerPro64 reminded me that the topic retention grace period of three months expires in early February, so this and the Halo 4 OST need to get audited by or before then.

That's not what WP:HAMMER says, and right now everything there is ripped straight from the parent article. It's completely redundant at this point. All you have to do is revert my redirect once it has a track list, it's not like I'm wiping out all of your work or anything. It's just WP:TOOSOON right now.

"What platforms is it coming out for?
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, “future generation technology” (read: Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4)."
Seems pretty straight forward to me. Definitely worth mentioning in Destiny (video game) and Bungie.Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[1]
The1337gamer,
I have reverted your edits to Destiny (video game) in which you claimed that the "Premise" section was "a copy and paste from the narration of the video". This is not the case, because I have been editing Wikipedia long enough to know what qualifies as plagiarism and what does not, and so I was very, very careful when I wrote that section up. Furthermore, writing in prose is something of a speciality of mine; I refer you to the Skyfall, The Dark Knight Rises, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Quantum of Solace pages. Each of these has a "Plot" or "Premise" section which was largely written by me; recounting these details is something of a talent of mine, and one of the very few things I do on Wikipedia outside my usual sphere of activity.
Please do not make the mistake of thinking that a person's ability to write in prose means that they have committed plagairism. These sections can be written in interesting ways that still retain their encyclopaedic qualities. As an example, I direct you to this. Prisonermonkeys (talk)`
The1337gamer Thank you for recently amending a post made from my IP on the Aliens Colonial Marine Wiki entry.
