Fuck off you cunt. You don't revert substantial contributions ([[Gabe Newell]]), mark them as minor and say [[WP:NOTNEWS]] on a page that's barely a bigger than a stub, then fail to even leave a message. Except technical edits, you've contributed fuck all to that page. No wonder this site is losing contributors.--[[User:Vaypertrail|Vaypertrail]] ([[User talk:Vaypertrail|talk]]) 00:56, 6 March 2016 (UTC) |

Disambiguation link notification for January 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Undertale, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Escapist (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:06, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey! I didn't want to revert your entire edit, because there are other changes, so wanted to bring this up. MOS:TM says that we write "Thatgamecompany" instead of "thatgamecompany", even if that's the official trademark spelling. Not lowercasing the first letter (except like iPad) is one of the main points of MoS, even if it is truer to plain English than source spelling. Since the article has also been through FA and FT, a major change and an exception to MOS should have at least a talk page discussion first. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 22:34, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I'm not 100% sure about this, since it is "thatgamecompany, LLC" [1], so it is not just the trademark, but the official business name, and the common name. The examplse given at MOS:TMRULES give for example Adidas, which is most commonly referred to as "Adidas" and not "adidas" (AFAIK), so I guess common name also applies? You might get that better than I do. Lordtobi (✉) 23:12, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Registered business name wouldn't really matter, because we first use common name from sources, which is "T/thatgamecompany". Afterwards, we apply MOS, which says closest to readable English. So it ends up "Thatgamecompany". I can't think of good examples for video game companies, usually it's the other way around -- company uses all capitals. Metacafe, Sakevisual or Diomedéa, perhaps. There's way more examples for products. This is one of those cases where MOS overrides RSes for the sake of readability. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 00:14, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- Alright then, gonna do the changes myself. Lordtobi (✉) 00:18, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's a reoccuring issue with thatgamecompany stuff; there was a lot of back and forth a few years ago when I was getting the articles to GA/FA about the capitalization of flOw as well. No big deal. On the flip side, I had no idea that the MOS recommends putting "LLC" in the first sentence until you added it. --PresN 02:09, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to Undertale does not have an edit summary. I reverted some edits you made since they seemed to only remove some small content and the flow of the text.
Edit summary content is visible in:
- User contributions
- Recent changes
- Watchlists
- Revision differences
- IRC channels
- Related changes
- New pages list and
- Article editing history
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Captain Sweden 14:22, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- I reverted two vandlist edits and because Wikipedia does not automaticly insert it if you undo multiple things, and I am really busy, I was just to lazy. It should seem clear that vandalism is undone if you regard the section.
- To me it just seems like you removed the section on the unofficial port on Android and changed "Toby Fox" in the lead with "tobyfox". Can't really see any vandalism you reverted. Also, please sign your posts. --Captain Sweden 14:33, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- "tobyfox" is the developer pseudonym which has to be used, for that specific purpose, I added comment directing editors to the talk page where the FAQ about it is, but that seems to be of your disregard. That someone added "Unofficial port for Android" is pure nonsense, as a) It does not exist and b) Even if it did, it would not belong annywhere near where he put it. The might in fact be a reason his name is "TrollzorMAX", don't you think? The other edit was done by another user with only two edits so far, both breaking grammar or flow, opposed to what you said, that my revert was "breaking the flow". And by your most recent edit, you did not for me to respond (as I was writing when I got the email), and you were again reverted by Rhain. Consider reading guidelines or the talk page before behaving like someone who is constantly reverting vandalism on exactly that page is performing vandlism edits.

Question?
Hi! I am editing wikipedia for a school project and thought I would try to help out some games.
I saw you reverted my edit here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Witness_(2016_video_game)&oldid=701660460
I wanted to ask if you could tell me more about this so that I can make better contributions this week. I thought the two things were notable because opencritic has a recommended percent thing and giant bomb gave the game a perfect score, which i dont think they do very often.
Is there anywhere I can read better about how to make better edits on games?
- Per Wikipedia talk:VG, OpenCritic is not a notable aggregation platform and Giant Bomb not a reliable reviewer. It seems to me that you are new to Wikipedia, so welcome! You should start off with reading the five pillars of Wikipedia, and try to make some edits to your sandbox. If you have a question to something specific, feel free to ask me for advice. What you should note for talk pages is that you shouls sign what you write with
~~~~
which will produce the following, just with your initials: Lordtobi (✉) 21:35, 25 January 2016 (UTC) - If you would like to reply, use colons (
:
) and the very beginning of the line to tab it, or in this case two as I already produced one. Have a good one and happy editing. Lordtobi (✉) 21:35, 25 January 2016 (UTC)- Hi again! Thank you. We read those 5 pillars in class. Is there anywhere I can see what are the notable sources in video games? I can't find a list on that page you sent.
- And really, ty for answering my questions. we are supposed to try to make an edit about something that we know so I'm trying to do stuff for games! AlmostKeeper (talk) 21:57, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- There is always this 50/50 consensus, since there are hundereds of pages on the internet that deal with video games. There are, however, the "usual suspects", of which IGN, Eurogamer, PC Gamer, GameSpot, VG247, Polygon, and Destructoid are the most common. We refer to those as secondary sources. There are of course other notable ones, and you may just ask me for specific ones. What you should try to avoid are completely unreliable sources, meaning Steam or GOG.com pages, blog posts, Twitter/Facebook, Reddit, etc. When your citing, you should follow the following reciepe:
<ref>{{cite web | url = [URL OF THE ARTICLE] | title = [HEADING OF THE ARTICLE] | last = [LAST NAME OF THE ARTICLE'S AUTHOR] | first = [FIRST NAME OF THE ARTICLE'S AUTHOR] | date = [DATE OF THE ARTICLE PUBLISHED] | website = [NAME OF THE WEBSITE, WIKILINKED*] | accessdate = [THE DATE YOU REFERENCED THE ARTICLE]}}</ref>
*Wikilinked = put in two square brackets like [[PC Gamer]], if you have Polygon, the article name on Wikipedia is "Polygon (website)", so you have to pipe it, i.e. "[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]" to make it appear as Polygon, but still linkt to Polygon (website). - Yeah, that are the genral rules of citing. If you want to have a good project, you can try to build FNaF World with me, it is quite missing some content and would be a good opportunity for you to contribute, and I might correct issue you make and exmplain them to you to learn. Have fun doing some research and keep in mind to hit me up for questions. Lordtobi (✉) 22:20, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Nixxes logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Nixxes logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:38, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Undertale: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Nathan2055talk - contribs 21:59, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- With respect, but I don't believe replacing "Undertale" by "Cancer" or similar is not testing, rather plain vandalism. Given user seems to have a dynamic IP because of which warning/banning one had no use. Lordtobi (✉) 22:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, but even so, they should receive warnings if only for the purpose of allowing other editors to see if an account has been previously used for vandalism. --Nathan2055talk - contribs 22:05, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Gone Home shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

Template:'.doc
You understand this edit better than I do, so please correct Template:'/doc to match your edit. I have been changing ' to ` because the document says so, and includes half a page explaining the difference. So I didn't realize that ` now redirects to '. Art LaPella (talk) 02:30, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, this was part of a consensus at Template talk:', because the accent the template was holding is inacurate by some guideline I had read a few months back, and should use the standarad apostrophe instead. I will look into the doc you linked and see if there is something conflicting. Lordtobi (✉) 12:49, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hmm, that's part of what I wanted, but I believe you overlooked the first paragraph, which still distinguished ' from `. So I edited it myself.
- Should the similar template `s be redirected to 's to match your redirect of ` to '? I almost did it myself, but then I read more about hair spaces and nowraps and decided to leave it alone. I do need to edit Template:`/doc. Art LaPella (talk) 15:29, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- I see I missed something, apologies, but you worked it out yourself which is good, thanks. The ' template was recently changed based on the consensus I linked earlier, which now gives it a CSS-invoked space of 0.1em and nowrap to avoid a break in-line, and thus ` had no use anymore, really.

Talk page for The Witness
While cleaning up is okay, you probably want to actually archive most of that stuff that you have cut (at least in the discussion parts, the refideas doesn't need it) to a place like Talk:The Witness (2016 video game)/Archive1. Mainspace talk pages, we nearly always want to keep past discussions around without having to search histories, the only things that should be removed as you are doing are pure nonsense input. --MASEM (t) 23:35, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- I only cut off topic content which is to be deleted by guidlines, such as "Will this come to Wii U and Xbox 420 ???" is not very appropriate. Also there was a "discussion" from 2013 with no answers whatsoever, which only contained a question regarding something obvious. If you need to, recover that last one, however, offtopic is not to be recovered. Lordtobi (✉) 23:40, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
I'm not going to edit war over an Rcat, but "Lego media" is clearly not just a different capitalisation than "Lego Interative". Please reconsider. --BDD (talk) 17:27, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- As stated in the edit summary, it is another capitalisation of "Lego Media", which the redirect refers to. Lordtobi (✉) 17:28, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, but until that template can take parameters, as at {{R from misspelling}}, it's going to remain misleading. --BDD (talk) 18:18, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
