User talk:Arkhandar/Archive 3

January 2013

Resolved

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:History of video games. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Please discuss this issue on the talk page before reverting again. ‑Scottywong| talk _ 17:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Second Warning

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. This pertains to the edits you have made on History of video games. Edit Warring aside, there has also already been a clear established consensus. TJD2 (talk) 07:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your reverting, under US law a logo consisting only of letters and shapes is not eligible for copyright protection, therefore using only the logo is preferable as it is not copyrightable. LightGreenApple _{talk to me} 02:01, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you make personal attacks on other people, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. The edit summary on this edit was not appropriate, Under normal circumstances I would only give a level 1 or 2 warning for such a comment but given you have been blocked in the past for NPA's and have a number of level 3+ warnings for various unacceptable behaviour trates a final warning is appropriate.

Discussion at Talk:Wii_U#Inappropriate_commentary_in_lead_moved_to_reception

Resolved

Hello, I've noticed you are a user who has frequntly edits Wii U. I thought it was inappropriate to immediately start criticizing the system in the first paragraph as was previously done. A week or so ago I moved some of the criticism down into the reception section and immediately started a discussion about it on the talk page. So far only one other user has joined the discussion. I was wondering if you could leave some input there.

Thegreyanomaly (talk) 22:00, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey Arkhandar

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

TechPowerUp GPU tables

Resolved

All of the TechPowerUp tables appear to be correct (for the Wii U, and for the corresponding Xbox One and PS4 articles). I don't see a reliability issue because all the information appears to be accurate, and the Gtexel/Gpixel numbers are simple arithmetic regardless of there also being a source (based on TMU and ROP's and the clock speed). Also I'm a little surprised you deleted the eDRAM bandwidth number (in your original edit). If anything that makes the Wii U look better... and the calculation is pretty easy, the EDRAM has a 1024bit bus (so 128 bytes/clock * 550MHz = 70.4GB/s). -Kai445 (talk) 01:16, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

6x CAV

Resolved

The regular old Wii reads discs at 6x, and they are read with a CAV read strategy (so CAV is accurate to put regardless of actual read speed). That's the standard data rate for regular Wii discs... so there's certainly no way that the Wii U reads them any slower (a drivechipped Wii with 3x read-speed lags, which we certainly don't see on the Wii U). There is certainly not much known about the Wii U drive, but is it really that far of a jump to assume that the Wii U reads a Wii disc as fast as the Wii does? -Kai445 (talk) 04:40, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

I completely agree with you. I have no idea why I deleted your edit, I'm sorry. You can re-add it if you'd like, or I can edit. It's your call :) Thank you, and sorry for the situation.--Arkhandar (talk) 13:58, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Systems Research & Development

Resolved

The information listed here is wrong, as SRD is not owned by Nintendo. The company is only co-operating with Nintendo since 30 years and works on projects aside Nintendo games. Also the sentence 'It's unclear how many games they have worked on.' is not right, because every game that was (partly) programmed by SRD has Toshihiko Nakago listed in the credits. Thirdly, this section is wrong; I remember I deleted it, but don't know why it is still in the article. Nintendo is opening a new R&D building in which the current internal R&D divisions will move; that new building is not confirmed to be home of a new Nintendo studio. So please chance those parts of the article. I can't do it myself because my English isn't that well and I don't want to destroy the article's structure. Thank you! Umweltschützen (talk) 11:59, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for the heads up. All this time I was sure SRD was a Nintendo subsidiary but as you mentioned, it isn't after all. That conclusion of mine may have come for the fact that they have their Kyoto office inside Nintendo HQ. And I've also checked various "Iwata Asks" interview and they confirm what you say, SRD is an independent company. 123. Given this, I suggest we make a sub-section in the 2nd party studios section. We could then solve the It's unclear how many games they have worked on. issue later on. What do you thing? Now, about the new R&D building, I'm going to put it in the Main Offices section since it's not really a new studio so to speak. I only put it in there a a new studio because it was also in the Nintendo article. I need to better check my sources xD. Thank you very much for your help, and good editing :) --Arkhandar (talk) 13:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Hypocrisy

Resolved

I've been watching you and other users engage in an edit war on Template:Nintendo developers over second party developer changes that you appear to have had originated. You instructed the other user(s) to take it to a talk page for discussion, as well as mentioning a previous consensus without citation, yet they are the ones challenging your edits from the 1st and 18th June, perhaps elsewhere, and not the other way around.

if you make an edit, and it's challenged, then you, as the person who wanted to make the change, starts up a discussion.

--174.17.11.44 (talk) 01:31, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

First of all, rather than introducing the issue calmly you seem to be starting of with a serious accusation/insult to me and my contributions and honestly that doesn't give you any points into my consideration regarding you as a person. But, since I like to get things clear, "they" as you call them, are not only deleting new companies that I've but also deleting some that already were there such as Eighting, for example. And as I said, in general, it means I summarized the page I was referring to, and that isn't the only rule on Wikipedia, but you don't seem to understand that. So, for a couple of days no one seemed to complain about it, and these companies do, in theory, fit right into the second-party developer guidelines. Going on, mine and other users's were deleted exactly 16 days (June 17/18) after the initial insertion (June 1), and there was no challenge after a revert with a summarized explanation in the edit summary. Then, after almost a whole month after things reached a speedy consensus, things got deleted and then challenged by me. Because of this I think the one being challenged (User:BattleMario) should explain his point of view in the the article's talk page since there was a speedy consensus and the companies do fit in the criteria. If he wants that to change, than he's the one that needs to create a section in the talk page, not me. I hope you understand. Thank you. --Arkhandar (talk) 01:56, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

You seem to be reading into my short response far too much. I am hardly being any more hostile than your own accusations and warnings on other pages as well as reposting this same response on my own page where it has no context or bearing. Without discussing the topic within the edits and reverts, you're referring to these dates without mentioning that this is a page with far less traffic and a longer grace between decisions. --174.17.11.44 (talk) 02:47, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I usually write the answers in my talk page and than post them in the user's talking which in responding to so that they know they've been answered, that's common practice on Wikipedia by the way. I'll make it different this time, sorry about the re-post. Now, to the stuff that matter, I did discuss the topic with the edits and reverts when referring to the dates because it was basically an edit war with reverts weeks apart, there was nothing new happening in that time period, only my and other user's edits adding info (with proper explanation) and constant reverts (with little to no logic at all). Oh, and please, I'm far from accusing User:BattleMario from anything, in fact, I wish to work with in proactively to solve the issue rather them insult him. And one last thing, its pages like that have so little traffic that need decisions to be taken a lot faster than other articles. I'd really enjoy if this discussion would end here so we can all waste our time in things that do matter. Thanks and good editing.--Arkhandar (talk) 12:13, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Timings / Latency

Resolved

For the PS4, Wii U and Xbox One, I have not seen anyone (anywhere) actually mention the timings of the RAM. Can you find me specific posts? Because I didn't see anything mentioned about memory timings in the original post on the neogaf thread. -Kai445 (talk) 00:59, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I just saw it now in an hardware forum post on TheWiiU.com forums. Everyone was talking about latency being a major player in overhaul performance and whatnot, most of them stated the numbers I inserted in the article and I thought those numbers were already confirmed to be true. I don't really know how they reached those numbers, so that's why I support the exclusion of them in the article for now, just like you. But now I'm kinda interested in uncovering the truth really.. x)--Arkhandar (talk) 01:09, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

If we can get the RAM chip specs we should be able to find out more. But the PS4 and Xbox latencies should be very similar in an absolute sense. The timing argument is mainly put forth by people that don't know a whole lot about memory, but are invested heavily in their preferred team winning. -Kai445 (talk) 01:30, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

There's nothing we can do right now then, right? I see that you have reverted my edit on the eDRAM, but I inserted 34 MB of eDRAM on the article as seen on the GPU die in the Chipworks analysis. Is there a problem to it or is it rally just 32 MB? Thanks :)--Arkhandar (talk) 13:57, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I was looking for where they literally spelled out "34MB" because it is such an oddball number, but I guess you mean the 32MB eDRAM plus the 2MB eDRAM = 34MB? I guess I don't have a problem with that, but maybe seperating them would be better, or putting a little small underneath or next to it to explain "32MB MEM1, 2MB MEM0" ... ″I'm not sure, really, what might be the most elegant way to put it. -Kai445 (talk) 16:02, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure either. Best to keep it this way for now or until someone makes a suggestion.--Arkhandar (talk) 15:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Pit image

Resolved

Hello there! Your upload of an image of Pit from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U was good; however, the image used in the article is preferable as it is both an image from a "canon" game and the original image used. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 00:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Since the artwork is from the same director (Masahiro Sakurai) and it displays Pit's flagship weapons unlike with the "older one", I thought it would be a better fit for the article.--Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 19:07, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

It's not advised to constantly update with a new image; this causes disruption in the game's article (ever so slightly) by changing images. As both images show pretty much the same thing, ther's no real purpose in replacing it, especially considering that it's not objectively "superior".

A website that gets most of its info from other sources, anonymous tips, and NeoGAF is a questionable source at best. The first two links are also simply retailer errors, not necessarily a sign of confusion among consumers/readers. You would be sort of on to something with this (taken from the third link), but even then, it's just about what retailers are saying, and all the analyst is said to have done is a "secret shopper kind of thing".

All those three occurrences were also reported by Kotaku. Just because it's not a well know news site it doesn't make it any less true. Nevertheless, Wii and Wii U are very similar names and that by itself justifies the template's inclusion.--Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 14:23, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Then please, provide Kotaku sources then. Also, I would say that the Wii and the Wii U are different enough that a majority will be able to tell that they are different things, even if they don't know exactly what they are. But whatever, it's not a big deal. I'll get over it. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 15:21, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Please do not remove referenced content again. In Nintendo's official Japanese statements, the phrase "わいせつ画像送受信" (transmission of obscene imagery) is used. "offensive material" is vague, and can refer to insults, racism, and the like, all of which are not as serious. Don't blank content because you might not like it, it's borderline disruptive editing. --benlisquare_T•C•E 15:02, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm not doing disruptive edits, you are. If someone disagrees with something that you are changing, you should take the issue immediately to the article's talk page, not start and edit war. That's disruptive editing as I recall. Besides, there's absolutely no need to source an article from a Japanese publication on the English Wikipedia when there are numerous sources about the subject in English already. Additionally, you said that in Nintendo's official Japanese statement, the phrase "transmission of obscene imagery" is used. How about using that, instead of the poorly sourced, speculative, "pornographic imagery".

Further discussion will be made at Talk:Nintendo 3DS--Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 15:15, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

What does "obscene" mean? It's obviously a synonym for lewd, lascivious or pornographic. Japanese newspapers use terms such as "わいせつ" (obscene) because the press is forbidden from using terms such as pornography. That does not mean that we cannot take it for face value. You don't need to prove that the sky is blue if it's already obvious as day. How else can anything else, non-pornographic, be "obscene"? --benlisquare_T•C•E 15:19, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

"Besides, there's absolutely no need to source an article from a Japanese publication on the English Wikipedia when there are numerous sources about the subject in English already." - I beg to differ. This being the English Wikipedia has nothing to do with this, and per WP:NONENG, non-English references are permitted. Given that the Japanese sources are more factual than the English ones available, there is reason for these Japanese newspaper sources to be used. These are reliable sources - Asahi Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun are major Japanese newspapers, akin to the New York Times; it's not like they're tabloid sources. If the current English sources have factual limitations, there is no reason why the problem cannot be remedied with the use of Japanese ones. --benlisquare_T•C•E 15:22, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nintendo Network. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. You're welcome to the discussion held at WT:VG. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 19:20, 3 November 2013 (UTC) ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 19:20, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Or at Talk:Nintendo 3DS or Talk:Nintendo Network, whatever; the point is to discuss and stop edit warring. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 19:22, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, in case you didn't notice, we're already trying to reach a consensus at Talk:Nintendo 3DS, and my last revert was only partial and didn't have anything to do with the issue in question. I don't really see a need for this (rather than spamming a user's talk page).--Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 20:14, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Nintendo 2DS

The article Nintendo 2DS you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Nintendo 2DS for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. I don't think it's too much work before a reassessment, but considering they are fairly large changes I thought it best to fail for now. Do list for assessment again when you've addressed the points I raised though! Samwalton9 (talk) 18:03, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Japanese names

In Japan, the Wii and Wii U are not the "ウィー" and "ウィーユー". The names are written within Japanese text as "Wii" and "Wii U". The katakana is entirely superfluous.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:07, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Monolith Soft

Resolved

Hi, I see that you keep adding an rumored "Untitled Nintendo 3DS game" to the article Monolith Soft. I don't know how often I deleted this wrong piece of information, but somehow it always ends up being added. Because of that I'd like to explain. The Kyoto studio of Monolith Soft was founded as an support studio for internal Nintendo development. It is headed by Yasuyuki Honne and only has like 30 employees. As proven by the listed games in the article, the studio supported Nintendo EAD in the graphics department (two of the sources used in the article were written by me, by the way). Of course, there are artworks that Honne released, causing rumors of a new 3DS game – I myself thought for a long time they would be working on Baten Kaitos 3 on 3DS. But the new developments show that this is not the case. Monolith Soft Kyoto is to small to be developing an own game while assisting EAD; the artworks were likely published for recruitement reasons only. Because of that, I will delet this wrong information again. (Please excuse my English, BTW ;)) Greetings Umweltschützen (talk) 16:55, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
