Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken Episode listeditWhy did you revert my changes and completely delete the episode list from main wiki page? I can't even make a separate page for the list, so it needs to stay on the main page. ....DranzerX13 (talk) 06:44, 17 June 2020 (UTC) Cloud's future?editIn the past months I tried expanding Cloud Strife to cover most of his appearance and real world info. I'm not fit for FAs but I kinda feel like it should be considering the popularity of the character and the fact that his game is FA. Then again, due to my poor prose I don't think I'm suitable for the job so if you feel like it, I leave it to you, Protodrake or PresN since improved a lot of article so quickly.

BarnstareditThe Square Enix Barnstar
Over the last few weeks, you've done an immense amount of work, bringing dozens of articles that have languished for years with few sources and little content up to a coherent, C-class standard, and in doing so set a new bar for minimum quality for any WPSE article. It's transforming the project from not just one with a ton of GA+ articles, but one where even the obscure subjects have a solid article about them. Amazing work! --PresN 14:09, 28 May 2020 (UTC) Dad refs, and extraeditI've found sources for Dad of Light, and left them on the talk page. They should help fill it out a bit. Incidentally, if you like, I can give you a rundown on how I find and translate sources, and how I find links. It will probably help in your projects, and allow you to use the refs provided to the greatest effect. --ProtoDrake (talk) 21:15, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
Okay, this will be a long reply, but it's needed. I've had to learn much of how I get sources through trial and error, but now I've got it down to a kind of system. Basically, before starting any project I'm interested in, I look for sources. These may be still extant, but more often in my experience they end up being on dead websites or in a foreign language. When looking for sources, I go through a process of elimination. First, a blanket search that covers extant and mainstream sites in English. Then I look at game pages on those websites in case I missed anything. Sometimes they lose links in the internet aether, so then you need to find old versions of those pages in archive and search their links. Wayback's best for this, as WebCite and Archive.is only archive individual pages. If a source is actually dead, I either find an acceptable alternative or admit defeat, as using a bad source is worse than no source at all. Wayback also archives some surprising texts, and for this you need to search both titles and text contents. I found several interesting features searching in text contents, while titles only get you so far. Space Channel 5 would have been an impossible slog without them. Once you've exhausted English, I move onto foreign language, which can range from French and German to Chinese and Japanese, or even Korean. As to my knowledge of Asian languages, it's rather scant on a practical level. I've just gotten very good at Google Translate blurb, and picking out some phrases and characters I know from untranslated text on the same subject. For Japanese games, first I look at the Jp Wikipedia page, which can have links and even definite info (it's where I got a lot of the sources for the Tales games). The Japanese page can also give you links to a game's website. This is true for other titles. Same principle with other Asian language Wikipedias (especially Chinese, which can also include its true native title in parenthesis). It can take some digging, but finding the game's native title in other languages is also useful for confirming a regional release. Below are the most common sources I've grown used to using.
Search terms are also very important. If the name just sounds like a common word, I add the game's platform or other elements to narrow the search. I've found, both in English and Japanese, that using a lead dev's name in conjunction with the title of a game yields interesting results. In general, certainly for games within the last twenty years or so, pasting in the name of the game then pasting in "インタビュー" ("Interview" in Japanese) delivers the goods, even if it's a link to an old website that had the dev interviews on their blog. You may need to just search and chance to luck, and it can yield results. Most importantly, you must go through the pages when you search, and not expect the results to pop up conveniently on the first page. And if there's a relevant piece on a forum, see what you can make of it. It may be a translated interview, it may be a link to a dead site, it may even be comments and info that put you on the right track, but they all help. I found stuff on Lost Odyssey, FF Type-0, multiple Fire Emblems, and a few other titles (gaming and otherwise) I barely remember working on. I've had to dig extremely deep, sometimes going through pages of forum posts, to find something. It pays off about half the time. Hope this helps! --ProtoDrake (talk) 09:54, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Just a minor thing. About what I mentioned for Alpha and Suisho, I meant that I'd put the refs I found on the talk pages. I've got a lot on my plate at the moment in terms of projects, so that's as far as I was able to go. --ProtoDrake (talk) 22:36, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

I literally just gave you one of these a few weeks ago, but I feel more than one is warranted. 3 months ago, I would have said that the Square Enix Wikiproject was, once again, pretty much dead. Nothing nominated in over 6 months, no one working on articles at all, dust gathering on the talk page. Today, largely due to you, over 70 articles have been improved from Start-class or merged, a dozen C-class articles have been improved to Bs, every cleanup tag in the 450+ articles has been cleared, and an entire mini-project around getting over half of our articles to GA+ has begun, with enough active participation and nominations already that it seems a sure thing within another month. It's been an incredible turn-around, and it's pretty much entirely due to you. Way to go! --PresN 02:40, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I highly doubt that it would ever pass GA status, but in terms of sourcing I see it being very close to the Gravemind article, and Guilty Spark in my view is just as notable if not more so then Gravemind as far as the franchise is concerned. Could you have a look at it in its current state and give feedback, particularly on the issue of GNG and significant coverage, because the criteria for meeting these standards appear to be very subjective to me?

Editing news 2021 #2editRead this in another language • Subscription list for this newsletter Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor. The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful. Looking ahead The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias. The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis. You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. 00:27, 16 June 2021 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Left AliveeditHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Left Alive you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.

Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

In case you're not watching the Chocobo page, I've just rattled out the update. It's got as comprehensive a creation and development section as is sensible and sourceable, got the Appearences section properly organized and sourced without bloat, and added some stuff to its reception. Still needs tidying and other bits of work, but the out-and-out false information's been purged (who knew Sakaguchi wouldn't like the concept of a silent, likeable animal companion but want beasts of burden instead, hmm). --ProtoDrake (talk) 15:16, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
