Regarding GA reviews for you
[edit]Hello there and i hope you're doing well! Sorry for the sudden message on your talk page but i wanted to let you know that as a way to return the favor for reviewing some of the articles i nominated to GA (Knightmare for the MSX, Blue Lightning for the Jaguar CD, The Wing of Madoola, Battle Clash, Alcahest, Gaiapolis, and the Iron Soldier trilogy), ping me when you have a video game article from you to be reviewed, though i have never reviewed a wikipedia page before but i want to give it a shot someday. Anyways, have a great weekend! Roberth Martinez (talk) 13:55, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Emil (Nier) was just copyedited. If you are interested feel free to revisit it like you did with Caim. I don't have much access to Yoko Taro's interviews so there might be room for expansion there as well as how the novel of Nier handled him. I also couldn't find even a thing about his two voice actors sadly. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 23:25, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:27, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Is there any reasons why despite my correct sourcing, you reverted to previous incorrect edits (If's page calling it a spinoff despite it being a mainline entry) ? Leptitgay (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
- Leptitgay I've checked the source, and while it covers the story contents, it doesn't specify which is mainline and which is spin-off in the text. I have brought this to the VG WikiProject so this can be settled without this descending into an edit war. Hopefully this won't become a second Tales situation. --ProtoDrake (talk) 20:46, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
Why isn't the Tomb Raider III source working for you?
[edit]Whenever I enter the URL, it shows me the Tweet just fine, so I don't know why you can't access it? You can look up "Tomb Raider III kayaking in Indonesia" to get the source I did. Vesperius (talk) 10:39, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
- @Vesperius: I used the link that you put in the page to double-check that it was official and not a fan comment or the remaster team only. It doesn't work, which in my experience means it doesn't exist any more. Unless Twitter that was has become subscriber only over the past week, in which case I still can't verify it. Plus I'm deeply sceptical of what Twitter has become, and there's the Wikipedia:Primary question since there don't seem to be reliable third-party sources or interviews pinpointing locations. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:42, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

- @Vesperius: Hmm... Still not comfortable using a promotional tweet over twenty years after the fact that's not from the original developers. Plus the original script and the manual don't specify anything more than "South Pacific". --ProtoDrake (talk) 11:08, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
- I understand. Still, it is at least more proof aside the in-game location stamp. Vesperius (talk) 19:35, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
- @Vesperius: If it must be included, probably insert it as a footnote. Also re Atlantis since there's also been stuff about that, I checked the same kind of sources (manuals, official material) and there's no confirmation of Atlantis being called anything other than "Atlantis" or "Lost Island" outside the remaster. --ProtoDrake (talk) 20:23, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah, the passport stamp in the remaster is the only thing that confirms it's location as being in/around Ascension Island. Vesperius (talk) 20:28, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
