Thank you!

Thank you! By the way, this is a continuation of the topic of the same name that I accidentally posted on the archive talk page. Sorry that I split this up, but I didn't want to break the rules again. Now at least I know what archived talk pages are for! :) -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk) 02:48, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, no prob. It's not a rule to archive your talk pages, but if they get too big, you can do it. ReyVGM (talk) 12:55, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Okay, good to know! At least I won't make that mistake again (hopefully). Thanks! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk) 16:50, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

What

I didn't make that edit lol 👍 Tyler 💬 ✏️ 🇨🇦 04:28, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

no wait I see what happened, I did make that edit 👍 Tyler 💬 ✏️ 🇨🇦 04:28, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the cleanup on the Daffy Duck article. I had reasons to believe the Game Boy version was also released in the US, but I can't prove it. Seems it was really only released in Europe. --Mugg1991 (talk) 23:29, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

I couldn't find any official info, but No-Intro lists the GB-only version as European. And I checked ebay and all the GB-only versions of the game are European too. So It's safe to assume it was an Euro-only release. The question is now, which was released first? Was it released in Europe as a GB-only game BEFORE the other versions or after?

Please slow down with the edits before you barrel ahead

You've been making various edits across anything that flies through the recent changes tab as of late.

While I wouldn't mind doing that, said edits are of you making hasty big changes without doing research before I or some other person get to actually refine what they're writing about.

I didn't pay much mind to it, but lately it seems you've been Yosemite Samming through articles that were just made, or about to be refined and interrupting work that was about to be done.

I was doing preliminary work on my Rainbow Cotton article (which was delayed as I waited for news on the remaster), before you cut half of it as I was talking with another editor on what else to find. Putting everything on Prerelease pages creates a problem TVTropes has been fiddling with where everything except the main page has content. I added that description because other pages like Sonic '06 or Dizzy did so previously. It also explains why Rainbow's codebase is a disheveled nightmare (they changed a texture at the very last minute, forgot to delete or optimize textures, and missed their December release date just to okay pressing the discs as the game was finished on December 1st, a similar thing is on Sonic 3's proto page). There were disc comparisons in the Sonic CD page and that specific disc texture the Dreamcast uses is very rarely seen (none of the Cotton fandom knew about it before). This was stuff agreed upon well over a year in advance.

Not everyone uploads their article in one piece, they add a preliminary body before looking at what they have to add. If everyone did that, the wiki's workflow would be nightmarish full of uploading random files that may or may not be used in the next draft of their articles.

And please, while I get citing the wiki's rules and writing about how it doesn't apply may seem helpful, it adds a layer of formality that is very unwelcome to a lot of editors and makes this site feel like Wikipedia. Kindly avoid doing that and shouldering everything on OP.

Please, pleeeease slow down. I don't like feeling like I'm stepping on eggshells and having to overelaborate at the cost of quality, just to avoid getting reverted for a ostensible reason.

If you don't want people modifying a work in progress article, add a WIP tag to it so people know you plan to continue work on it. A lot of times people create a "preliminary" articles and then never touch them again. Otherwise, it's fair game. Also, it's best if things are edited out early on before people spend a significant amount of time working on something that could eventually be removed. I don't know why you mention TVtropes because they don't have anything to do with this site as far as I know. As for citing the rules, what would you suggest then? A lot of people don't even know there's a list of "common things not add", posting that as the reason is only being helpful.

Out of the four examples you linked to, all edits were fair game.

• The original Puzzle Bobble article were combining two games from two different hardware. I did make a mistake with the Bubble Buster name since I forgot it was unreleased. But all the other changes were completely fair.

• Musya: I'm not sure if you know but when you romanize certain Japanese words, there's no exact English equivalent for them. So, both Musya and Musha are acceptable transliterations (similar thing to what happens with Yoshi. It can be written as Yossy or Yoshi). But, since it clearly says "Musya" in English in the title screens of both the Japanese and US versions, then there's no point in writing it as "musha" since the developer already decided that the transliteration they want to use is "Musya" not "Musha".

• Rainbow Cotton: I only edited the extremely long intro and the other part about comparing ingame art to the physical disc, I don't know what other pages have done, but comparing content to physical products has never been a thing on a game's page. But, you can always add that kind of stuff to the game's talk page or you can even create a Notes:Rainbow Cotton page. No one is saying the info is worthless.

• Marchen Adventure Cotton: I don't know why you used this game as an example. I only edited mentions of the PSX version since that version should get its own page.

Crystal Beans from Dungeon Explorer's Bob Dilemma

As far as i'm concerned, the only companies that should be listed as developers on a game's bob are companies that are

• expliticly labeled as developers on an official resource (e.g. company websites. game credits can also apply, but this can also be not true, especially for games based on licensed properties, which often credit the publisher or producer company(ies) instead)
• known to have done programming work (known via official resources or employee connections)

Birthday doesn't apply to any of these (they only did supervising and character designs), so it should not be listed in the bob of the Crystal Beans from Dungeon Explorer page; only Oersted should, as they are known to have done programming work
--Tikal. (talk) 17:01, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey Tikal. I don't agree with that because during that era, sometimes game credits would say "produced by" when crediting a developers. See these examples: Valis 4 (developed by Laser Soft, but credited as the producer), Black Hole Assault (developed by Micronet, but credited as a producer), Bomberman (developed by Hudson, credited as producer).

Also, developers aren't just the programmers. A company that develops graphics or music for a game is also a developer or co-developer. I really see no reason why companies that contributed to a game's production should be left out of the bob. In the case of Crystal Dungeon, it seems the game was outsourced to 3 different companies, and again, I see no reason why two of those companies should be left out. Who's to say that Birthday didn't also program the music? Maybe they composed and programmed it. Maybe a new entry should be created in the bob for co-developers?

Don't erase Bubsy II page

Please don't erase Bubsy II page, the cheat codes wasn't published somewhere else, Sega retro only discovered these. Outfit7Gamer

Why do you have to lie? Sega Retro added these codes to their site almost 4 years ago, and even then, those cheats have been online on gamefaqs since at least 2018. Also, the codes were featured in 90s magazines. ReyVGM (talk) 04:36, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Oh I didn't knew that Outfit7Gamer

I restored the page because there is one cheat that qualifies as a debug cheat (the invincibility code), but you didn't add that one for some reason. Remember to sign your comments with four tildes like the red box above says. How you are currently signing is not really the proper way and it's actually harder for you to do.
