September 2013

Thank you for contributing to Misplaced Pages. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically Nintendo 3DS, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Werieth (talk) 19:23, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Could you please give a specific reason for deleting the images from the article?--Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 19:35, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

WP:NFCC#3,WP:NFCC#8 and WP:NFCC#10. See also my first removal edit summary. Werieth (talk) 19:39, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. I don't think that WP:NFCC#10 is a problem here, since everything seems to be in order. If it isn't, could you please help me correct anything that is out of place? Now, I agree to a certain level about the deletion of the logo Nintendo Video, since it has little "weight" in the article, and the Miiverse logo, since it hasn't been released yet and its importance in the 3DS context is at a minimum at the moment. However, I strongly suggest that the Swapnote logo should be reinserted since Nintendo 3DS is its main and most complete article, and has sufficient notability to justify it. What do you think?--Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 19:48, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

10c is still an issue, see WP:NFURG Werieth (talk) 00:26, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your help, the issue has now been resolved. For future reference, I think it would be much more productive trying to solve rationale problems rather than deleting content from an article.--Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 00:35, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Given that a good rationale requires knowledge about the article and subject in question it can take someone not familiar with the topic 30-60 minutes of research per rationale, someone familiar with the topic can do the same thing in less than 5 minutes. It also helps inform users who add non-free media about the requirements of WP:NFC Werieth (talk) 12:55, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

List of Nintendo 3DS colors and styles

Hey! I assume that this is the first time you nominate a list right? If so, I see that there is a lot you have to learn about lists before your current candidate can pass. So, I'd like to say two things: i) don't be discouraged, remember that users oppose the list and not your work on the list; and ii) if you want advice and guidance with lists, feel free to come at my talk and I will be more than glad to help you all the way to get your list featured in the future. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ 17:00, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it was the first time I nominated a list to "featured" status, and unfortunately I did so prematurely. I'm trying to learn all Misplaced Pages guidelines to improve the list as much as I can (and other articles of course). And sure, if I need some guidance I'll head over to your talk page. Thanks for your support :) --Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 19:01, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Pit image

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".

Wii U

I think you need to put some more effort into the sections you are working on. They are nearly copyvio of the source pages, with sentences being reordered but otherwise unchanged. They also appear to not meet MOS guidelines, using second person pronouns, as well as promotional language. -- ferret (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Confusion between Wii and Wii U?

I really do not see how there are "many readers" who would believe that the Wii U is some sort of peripheral. And even if there were, the about template is generally used when two different things have extremely similar titles and need to be noted that they are not the same (i.e. Tom Wolfe and Thomas Wolfe. I'm sure people recognize that whatever the Wii and the Wii U are, they are not the same thing. TheStickMan 22:21, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

There is a lot of confusion, and Wii and Wii U are "two different things" and "have extremely similar titles". Here are some of the more recent examples of this:

• Stacker Machine Advertises Wii U As “Wireless Wii”
• Here’s Another Retailer Mix-Up Between Wii U And Wii
• Analyst Says Wii U Hurt By Retailer Confusion And Misinformation

I think this is enough to justify the template's inclusion.--Arkhandar (Talk • Contribs) 22:52, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

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". TheStickMan 00:51, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

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 15:21, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Swapnote

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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages when there are numerous sources about the subject in English already." - I beg to differ. This being the English Misplaced Pages 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)

November 2013

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, Misplaced Pages'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)

Japanese names

Monolith Soft

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)
