Your GA nomination of Fallout 4: Far Harbor

The article Fallout 4: Far Harbor you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Fallout 4: Far Harbor for things which need to be addressed.

Not That William Wear

I suddenly discovered that a page had been created under my name ("William Wear"), and thankfully, you declined it.

Specifically, I am the William Wear mentioned in the Fast Company article, but the rest of the material on the page does not apply to me. I was and am a hacker, but (a) I am (hopefully) not very well known, and (b) have never worked for, supported, or condoned any action of any government in the world, let alone the government of the United States.

It is possible that the author confused me with someone else, my name is relatively common. 12.152.125.130 (talk) 19:32, 6 July 2016 (UTC)If you could please remove the article reference from the draft page, I would be very appreciative.[reply]

Hi, I don't quite understand what you mean by "remove the article reference from the draft page". Do you want the page to be deleted? If so (because your IP created the article), just add {{db-g7}} to the top of the page. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:18, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't notice the common IP, but if that means I can delete it, I will. Thanks for pointing that one out! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.152.125.130 (talk) 20:44, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 03:13:42, 8 July 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Gray, Andrew


Dear 'Anarchyte',

Thank you for your review of 'Draft:Robert James Cromie (1887-1936), Publisher of the Vancouver Sun from 1917', my proposal for a Wikipedia page dedicated to the life of Robert Cromie, which submission you declined on June 6 with the following 'reason':

"This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources."

I note that most, if not all, of the claims in the draft are corroborated in the page dedicated to the life of Robert Cromie in the online Dictionary of Canadian Biography, at http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/cromie_robert_james_16E.html

Is the existence of that page sufficient support for the proposed article and its contents to be approved?

Your frank advice would be welcome.

Yours truly, Andrew Gray

@Gray, Andrew:You need to show where you got the content from. If you use that site, you need to reference it using the advice given on WP:REFB. Anarchyte (work | talk) 06:50, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

make page for CJS CD Keys?

Hey, we really like the Article you made for G2A. Would there be any chance that you could also make a Wikipedia Page for leading video game seller, CJS CD Keys?

it's cjs-cdkeys.com

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.219.227.207 (talkcontribs) 15:43, 10 July 2016‎

Wikipedia runs off reliable sources. All I could find were [1] and [2]. Also, could you take a look at WP:CANVAS please? It seems like you may be affiliated with the company due to the way you wrote that message. Anarchyte (work | talk) 04:43, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stupid Question

Hey! So, this is just a really dumb question. I have been away awhile and getting back into the swing of things, this is a new thing to me. How does this work and is there a project page I can read on it? Rgoodermote (talk) 12:31, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of any project pages that contain this information, but the best bet that I know of is Template:Video game reviews. What happens is the content is submitted onto the respective Wikidata page (Pokémon Go's is here) and then by putting "wikidata" next to the MetaCritic rating it uses that instead needing to edit the article every time. As for the reference, it's just <ref name="Wikidata name-MC(platform)"/>, i.e., PoGo on iOS would be <ref name="Pokémon GO-MCIOS"/> and Fallout 4: Far Harbor on PS4 would be <ref name="Fallout 4: Far Harbor-MCPS4"/>. If you're still confused, one of the gentlemen on Module talk:Video game wikidata may be able to explain it better. Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:36, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, that was a pretty good explanation! That is such an awesome thing, thank you very much. Rgoodermote (talk) 12:42, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Rgoodermote: This is pretty much brand spanking new. We implemented it in the last couple of weeks. Template:Video game reviews has the basic documentation for it, search on "wikidata". I have not gotten around to writing a short guide on editing Wikidata yet, though I plan to do so. If you have any questions, Template talk:Video game reviews or Module talk:Video game wikidata would work. Note that this "MC=wikidata" is only for Template:Video game reviews. -- ferret (talk) 13:13, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've just completed a rough first pass guide to editing Wikidata. I would like to add some illustrations later but its a work in progress. See WP:VG/WD. -- ferret (talk) 13:52, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are both very awesome. I thank you so much @Ferret: for that guide and the links. Also, I can not get over that this is a thing that exists now. This was not possible a few years ago, it's absolutely amazing. Thank you both for your help. Rgoodermote (talk) 19:54, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
