Wikipedian. I'd be a bit worried if there were any Wikipaedophiles around here. -- Steel 21:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

RE: MGS3 edit

I accept that my wording might not be the best, though I didn't think yours was much better either. I'll think of a different wording and ask a friend of mine (who's read more of Edge than I have) if he has anything to say. -- Steel 00:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC) P.S. I'm going to remove your comment about adminship from my talk page since I'm not actually an admin. Not sure where you got that from :PReply

[1]. What's that in English? -- Steel 00:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
I dunno, and 1:30am is too late to be having this discussion anyway. Oh, and ZoE2 deserves more than a 4/10, even if the anime style graphics don't really appeal to me. -- Steel 00:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

MGS3 storyline edit

That really is an excellent story section. The only slight concerns I have is that you don't really emphasise the relationship between The Boss and Snake, so at the end when you say they have an emotional battle, it's not entirely clear why. Also, you don't mention the legacy and the philosophers until the end, when they are in fact introduced before then. While I was strongly against giving them entire sections to themselves (as was the case in the old version), they do need to be explained where they're relevant to the story. Other than that, you did a great job with that. No, really, you did. Better than I could do. -- Steel 11:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much for your Hitman answer. I had really a mind trouble about this and I appreciate your answer very much. --Λeternus 13:01, 13 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Feeder (band) edit

Howdy!,

I was wondering if you could review the Feeder article please? :). I've given it a slight re-write with references citing statements that were not cited before, after I submitted the article to a few users and acted on their feedback.

The problem was that there was not enough cites, and cites that were there needed a clean-up with author name and retrieval dates.

Cheers!.

Nae worries, when I've got a chance I'll give it a once-over. Hyperspacey 15:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your feedback!! :), I've now had a go at merging some sentences together with the paragraphs in each section bar the introduction.
What do you think of the merging I've done?, is it keeping a good flow going or confusing any outside reader?.

Marcus Bowen 19:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Looks fine my man, good for a Good Article review and then try for Featured Article. Hyperspacey 21:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've recieved this feedback regarding a Peer Review I submitted, it looks pretty much a bit of work if we want Good Article status.

Marcus Bowen 08:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Howdy!. I have now given the article a re-write based on your version :-). Another Wikipedian who did the peer review assessment suggested I should go ahead with a "Good Article" nomination :D.

Marcus Bowen 21:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi!!!, just thought you'd like to know, the article has been passed for GA!!!!. If it wasn't fir you in the first place, I wouldn't have worked and worked on this for months and months to get it to a proper article with no bias and only neutralism. I was asked to write a critism of the band if there is one, and made a new paragraph onthe NME critism. Didn't enjoy writing it as they're a bunch of p****s, who praise Pete Docherty's actions and have no idea of decent music. But I knew I had to do it to get GA. Roll on FA!!!Marcus Bowen 21:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Centralized video game navbox discussion edit

You previously expressed a strongly-stated opinion about a video game navbox or all video game navboxes in general, or perhaps I clicked on your talk page by mistake. Whichever it is, you are invited to offer your opinion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#Navboxes III: Son of Navboxes. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Metal Gear Solid edit

"If you think there is any chance that another editor might dispute your change, please do not mark it as minor. Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette, especially if the change involves the deletion of some text." - Wikipedia page on "minor edit"

Deleting a portion of an article that someone has worked on doesn't exactly constitute as "minor". Having said that, the last part of your article/sentence does make some sense. I was trying to find a way to add in some examples of code names initially, but I couldn't remember too many of them. Upon reading your edit, the code name "puma" came to mind, as it was commonplace in my MGS experience. The word "playthrough" struck me as odd though, so I looked it up, and I only found some instances in which it was used. It was two words instead of one, and it was used in a different context, closer to a verb than a noun. --Silent Siberia 19:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have a habit of marking re-writes that maintain the meaning of the previous sentence as minor, mostly since I'm just compressing wording down and making it more readable. I did not expect it to cause much dispute. Play-through, playthrough or play through as a noun is something I seem to have acquired through my reading of various game-related articles in the papery realm, and I admit it was a bit vague (note the timestamp on my edit, vagueness at 3am is a common issue with me!). Performance is definitely an improvement. Hyperspacey 03:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I see. Well, what's done is done. You like to be brief and I like to be descriptive, but I'm content with what is on the page now. Thank you for all.--Silent Siberia 22:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Cheers for the heads-up anyway, I'll mark any re-writes as non-minor in future for sake of possible debate. Hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia, I see you're new. I'm working on the MGS2 page at the moment, so feel free to dive in! Hyperspacey 02:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

MGS4 edit locking edit

I am quite concerned with the gazillions of edits in the past few days, especially that edit war Mc razza's been doing RE Meryl and the never-ending It's-going-to-360 bit, which I'm long past fed up of hearing about. I've already brought this to Scientizzle's attention (he also recovered the entire file after some "homo" editor bastardized it), can this article be blocked from editing while no official information has surfaced yet? As seeing you've been very active in writing Metal Gear-based stuff, I hope for a favourable response from you soon. thanks.Eaglestorm 04:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

MGS 4 plot edit

I agree with your commentary on trimming the plot as much as possible, but apparently somebody does not get the message in your last MGS4 edit summary. Perhaps you'd like to explain it to him? I've undone his big edits twice, which are basically those that you removed on October 7. Thank you. Eaglestorm 09:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Though it's three months late, thanks again for reminding him. As for "gotten tired and given up though," that, my wikifriend, is a understatement-has not made any other edits ever since. Meanwhile, i saw a guy post a monsters and critics link regarding Konami's No MGS4 in 360. what do you think? Eaglestorm (talk) 04:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

MGS sites edit

hi, could you intervene on the main Metal Gear site? Somebody's been putting spam links. I've removed them at least twice, but they still keep on coming. Thanks. --Eaglestorm (talk) 05:04, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Good work with the warning on one of them. Another's been flaming me on the MG talk page, but it's already covered. --Eaglestorm (talk) 02:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

RFC on User:63.161.203.12/11 edit

Hi, is it possible to do RFCs on this user?

even with the little difference in IPs, it's still the same guy who didn't stop advocating MGForever and MGConfidential sites a few months back. And surprisingly, argued with Thirteen and I (Strongsauce even in 2006) recently over MGSPO not being part of official MG canon, supposedly being vindicated for citing MG Saga docus for his six-main-gams only argument.

Hoping for your response soon. thanks --Eaglestorm (talk) 15:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
