Don't get worked up

I noticed you got a little heated with Smith Jones, well don't bother. He's a very insidious troll and vandal that hasn't done anything cut and dried enough to get blocked yet. Just thought I'd let you know. NeoFreak 07:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Info taken on board. Thanks for pointing that out (it's probably more obvious to people with more experience here than me >_>). UnaLaguna 07:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Eragon (video game) GA On Hold

Please see the game's talk page for details. Nothing major, just a few items related to clarity. It shouldn't take more than an hour to fix. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ speak ○ see ○ 20:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Eragon

High five and congrats on getting Eragon up to GA.

For your work, here's a high five.

lol and your welcome. Hey lagoon, are you going to add it to the Featured content of WPIT?--Clyde (talk) 15:12, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

archive

i put the archive "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smith_Jones/Archive02" here. what are you talking boaut?

Hmm. The link you put on your talk page to the article linked to User Talk:Smith Jones/Archive02, not User:Smith Jones/Archive02. It made sense putting the archive in User Talk, as it's an archive of the User Talk page rather than the User page itself. Plus, User Talk:Smith Jones/Archive02 is consistent with User Talk:Smith Jones/Archive01. One of them, probably the one you linked me to just above (User:Smith Jones/Archive02), should probably be deleted. UnaLaguna 05:17, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, um, about that Barnstar I gave you, sorry if it was in an inconvenient place at the top of your user page....it was my first ever award that I handed out so I didn't really know where to put it.

Feedback on SimCity 4

Thank you very much for your feedback on SimCity 4, I did need to be given a direction on what to do with the article! Camaron1 | Chris 19:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

sorry, i found that the page had been vandalised and tried to fix one bit, changing 99 to 19 as i thought that was correct and it was definately better than 99, but i was unsure if 19 was correct. i wasn't aware of the sandbox and will use it in the fture, i reported the vandalism so that someone more informed could look into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.7.144.135 (talk) 11:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Problem solved, dear Una :) Let me know if I can help you in any other way, k? Have a beautiful day, Phaedriel - 06:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Major League Baseball

The Special Barnstar
I couldn't quite figure out which would be best to give you, but for not only helping me without complaint in getting Major League Baseball (video game) promoted to GA status, but also teaching me an entirely new way to look at and review the quality of articles, to which I have then been able to spread throughout Wikipedia as a GA reviewer, there is recognition due to UnaLaguna, his patience, helpfulness and overall excellent contributions to the project. Cheers, CP 15:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Why thank you, I am honoured and shall do my utmost to live up to the award. I started a leadless, POV, written like a 15-year old article on another video game that was going to be my next project, but after spending an hour getting nowhere in getting screenshots (the game is freaking impossible), I'll be working on other tasks for a bit. I'm so embarrassed by the current quality of the article, that I won't mention which one it is, but when I do get it up to code and put it up for peer review, I'll let you know. Cheers, CP 16:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, since you saw my table (the one I stole from User:AnonEMouse), you've probably guessed that the above mentioned game is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (video game). I've at least brought it up to something I wouldn't be embarrassed asking for some help on, so I think I shall ask you, since you're pretty damn good at that. If you're busy or would prefer that I formal request that it be peer reviewed, just let me know. Oh yeah, and I looked at the review you gave for MLB and tried to make sure that this article met all the points made there, so that you wouldn't have to repeat yourself. I am a bit concerned that I've done some irrelevant overlinking (especially when describing the game elements), but the text is devoid of Wikilinking past the development section without them. I want to get it to B Class first (it was rightly rated Start in its initial form, though I think I've improved on it since then) and then prep it for a GA nom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, CP 03:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the review! I'll look over it tonight, clean things up, then nominate it for GA once one of my other two noms is passed or failed. Would you say that the article is a B as it stands though? Cheers, CP 22:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Movie Battles Review

Since i think you dont check Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Peer_review/Movie_Battles anymore xD (which is my fault since i forgot about it), i thought i could tell you this way.

I have now added alot of sources (some of them are on the official MB site, but better than nothing tbh), i also changed a few other things and added a screenshot..

So could you plz look at the Movie Battles article again and see if its better in ur opinion. Remember my goal is to get the article to at least a B rating so, lets hope i succeed. ;) Thanks Yzmo talk 16:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

For Helping me alot with the Movie Battles article, and helping me to get it to B status, i give you the SW barnstar :D

Intellectual Property Theft

How dare you! Why, I have half a mind to report this to the proper authorities! Haha. Cheers, CP 20:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Images

Yep I noticed - I just logged in to send a message to the deleter. By the time I saw your message, the images were gone. I know that Incredible Technologies has submitted letters to Wikipedia noting the right to free use of these images. The problem is, I don't know how to "stamp" them to note this fact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigreye007 (talk • contribs) 20:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

The MBII atricle has now been GA Reviewed and is on hold. It passed on everything except WP:WTA. Which i think i have fixed, but it would be really nice if you could double-check it. I see that you are on holidays ATM, but if u get online.. plz check it.. Thx Yzmo talk 12:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

CVG Barnstar

The VG Barnstar
For your great contributions to video game-related articles. Keep up the good work! JACOPLANE • 2007-10-28 21:17

Thanks, man! Much appreciated! :D Una LagunaTalk 21:30, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, your work on the VG Assessment page is great. I originally created that page but I've only contributed a few assessment myself. What you're doing really helps to get new users involved in the community: some of the articles being requested for review are not great at all, and it would be easy to be cynical to the contributors. Your constructive criticism is exactly the reason I created the page in the first place. JACOPLANE • 2007-11-2 22:51

Over the Hedge (Nintendo DS) quickie assessment

Hi there, you may or may not be aware of the discussions surrounding this article and the proposed merge to the main over the hedge game article. The agreement was that the article should be a good start class by February, though after reading about the darned thing I thought I'd just get it done myself. Now I'd just like another pair of eyes to see if I've left or botched anything, so I can get on with something else. You're quite at liberty to tell me to nick off, so don't feel like you have to, likewise there's no hurry at all you can do it in months or weeks time.

Couple of notes: There's no information out there to create a development section, and the current headers within the article are the only sections I'd really want to complete. I'm finishing up the reception section now and would then like to address any corrections or omissions. Regardless of whether or not you're able to have a look, thanks for your ongoing work on the project. Someone another 15:18, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. The pleasure is always mine. Una LagunaTalk 16:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Mega Man ZX Advent assessment question.

Out of curiosity... Mega Man ZX Advent is a sequel, and thus, there are a lot of aspects (such as the technological premise and setting) that are identical to its predecessor. I bring this up because you suggested a "Technology" section. I know of the importance of making articles stand-alone, but it seems a little redundant to elaborate on these details again when they're so unchanged from the first game. Would it be suitable enough to just reference the first game's article? -Crimsonseiko 23:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

  • I also added some responses to your assessment on the game's talk page. Lemme know what you think. -Crimsonseiko 00:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

TimeSplitters 2

I believe you assessed the article I requested. I have tried to improve it so tell me if I completed some of the points you listed.

Do the pictures all have fair use rationals now? Is the gameplay section a little bit better? Is reception better at all? I completely re-did it. I can't expand the plot much more because there's not much story in the game. I did, however, add another picture to the Plot section. I still need to add more citations. Also, if I would like to pursue a Good-article status, would I have to nominate the game or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wi Account ki (talk • contribs) 01:48, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Appreciate the assessment!

Hi UnaLaguna,

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for taking the time to assess Super Mario Galaxy. We'll get to work on the points you mentioned (and be sure to pester you with questions if we have any)! --jonny-mt(t)(c)Tell me what you think! 08:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Overlord Assessment?

I'm not sure how the whole assessment/peer review system works but I'm working toward improving the Overlord (2007 game) article which is still at start but has been expanded and improved since then, even if its not B class I'd still like to know what needs to be improved.

Thanks, I ask you because I've seen involvment in others, most recently Super Mario Galaxy. Stabby Joe 12:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Well I've done what you've requested 9except that other matter we're dicussing on the talk page). Stabby Joe 14:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

For taking care of the vast majority of WP:VG/A assessments. Leave some for me ;) User:Krator (t c) 22:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks a ton for the tips at Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade! I asked quite a few questions (sorry), so I figured I'd let you know here and save you from having to dredge your watchlist. Cheeers! Master of Puppets Care to share? 16:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I addressed most of your concerns about the article; all I'm working on now is the development section. If it isn't too much trouble, could you skim over and see how I'm doing? Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 06:06, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for continually pestering you, but I was wondering if you could look over the Dark Crusade article. I'd like to know what else I can improve before school starts up and I get busier. Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 22:30, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Forgive me for forgetting - I'll try and write something useful tomorrow. Una LagunaTalk 23:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

StarCraft series assessment

Thanks for the assessment! However, you left conflicting ratings: you put B in the template and on the assessment page, but Start in your comments on the talk page. I'm guessing that its supposed to be B as it was used twice, but can you clarify the rating in your comment?

I'll see what I can do on the article, but surely a reception section for a series is a cultural impact section as its not dealing with the specific reviews of each game? I sort of rushed that section, I only used information already on WP rather than finding new stuff, but I'm confident of more cultural impact stuff that is non-Korean. Also, isn't a gameplay section something more suited to the individual game articles rather than the series overview one? Especially considering there's a (postponed) game of a different genre in the series. I'm also unclear exactly how to use screenshots for this article, again it strikes me as more of a game specific thing. However, I'm basing this mainly off of Halo series, as I can't see that I can get the level of detail as in Final Fantasy. -- Sabre 20:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Multi-Racing Championship

I've edited Multi-Racing Championship a few days and I think I'm done with the article. Do you think it's still Stub-class or could it be rated Start-class? --Mika1h (talk) 18:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

SH4 VGA

  1. I've gotten the plot summary reformatted and reffed. Take a look to tell me if it looks good.
  2. I assumed that Image:Sh4cvfight.jpg would demonstrate typical gameplay. It appears to have all the major elements (Henry, Eileen, the inventory, the health bar, a ghost enemy.)
  3. And one of these days I will try to fix up some of the paragraphs. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 03:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Tried beefing up the paragraphs. How much more do you think it needs? --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 05:00, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I tried to write a bit of a sequel section, but it ended up being too small for a whole section, so I threw it into "history". --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 06:09, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Cutscene Screenshots

I noticed you have screenshots of Jedi Outcast cutsences. How did you take those? Printscreen? Quietmartialartist (talk) 14:53, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

As I recall, I used Xfire's screenshot feature (Scoll Lock S) as it allowed me to take loads of screenshots whilst only sitting through the cutscene once. I find printscreen very hit-and-miss so no longer use it. Una LagunaTalk 15:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Your copyedit request

On 15 August 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit on Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we aplogize. Since your request, this article has been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. Finetooth (talk) 19:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Dancing Stage MegaMiX peer review

Since you say all one must do is ask, would you be interested in giving this article a peer review? It's been posted for a while and little has been said to the state of the article. I would like to at least get it in position for a GA ranking. Thank you --AeronPrometheus (talk) 07:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for giving the page a look over, I haven't had time to respond to it because I'm focusing on other things at the moment, sorry. I do have some questions but I'll ask them later when I can get around to applying changes to the page. Again thank you. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 18:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Godzilla: Unleashed Assessment?

I was wondering if this was B class? I've made plenty of edits to it (added reception, rewrote intro, gameplay and characters and editted development) which I feel go beyond Start class. Stabby Joe (talk) 19:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
