GTA VI editing conflict
editIt appears I got into a edit war over on the article for GTA VI. While I feel like I the changes I made to the article were pretty minor other editors may not feel that way. I hope you have a great day! Ric36 (talk) 22:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Planet of Giants source
editSo article of Planet of Giants states that "a recreation of the original third and fourth episodes using newly recorded dialogue and animation based on the original scripts" this is sourced to:
pages 126-127 of Wright, Mark, ed. (2016) "The Sensorites, The Reign of Terror and Planet of Giants". Doctor Who: The Complete History
This claim is repetead in List of actors who have played the Doctor which attributes the narration for the Doctor to John Guilor without a source. I was wondering if you knew, or if you still had access to the book, could check the relevent pages of the source too see if John Guilor is mentioned by name, if so it could be used for the list so I can get it to FL status. I ask you as you were the one to add the information and source to the page. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:57, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant: Page 127 mentions Guilor's involvement in the recreation, but it doesn't specifically state that he played the Doctor. That being said, it's definitely true (see this video). Here are two other refs that specifically mention Guilor's role as the Doctor:

Infobox awards list note
editHi,
The template documentation says the nomination count excludes wins. Is it wrong to point that out? Also, isn't it normal to follow the template guidelines? Additionally, see this talk Wikipedia:Teahouse#Awards nominations count. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Anoopspeaks: If it's stated in the template documentation, then the articles should follow suit (though, notably, that was only added more than a year after the template was created), but many articles don't, so it would be contradictory to add it to all of them. If you think the note is necessary, perhaps it can be added as an optional parameter, so you can activate it wherever it's needed, but I think wider consensus is required before adding it to all 1,300+. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:30, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rhain A note is necessary as the documentation says it excludes wins. Otherwise, it will be confusing to readers when they see different articles treating it differently. Also, I am surprised that the clause was not removed from the template documentation, considering the majority use it as you mentioned. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 23:45, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Anoopspeaks: I think different articles treating it differently is exactly the reason why it could be added as an optional parameter, so it can be activated on articles that follow the documentation. I'm surprised the clause hasn't been removed too; it might be worth starting a discussion about it, since it seems most editors miss that part. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:51, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rhain I had added the notes as optional, but updating the documents requires discussion, I think. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 00:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Maybe not all the sources are here, but if possible I will write to you. M.lebedev (talk) 12:24, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- @M.lebedev: Thanks for reaching out! I'm happy to help. I accessed a lot of these sources through the Internet Archive repository linked on the talk page. Here are the specific refs you're after:
- Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 13:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's so nice to have these sources at your fingertips. I searched the Internet Archive myself, but to no avail.
- I already wanted to take something from the Portuguese article, but in my opinion, 30-50% of the information there is superfluous. And you have everything straight from the most basic and plausible sources. M.lebedev (talk) 13:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Can you give a link to this source? Reiner, Andrew; Miller, Matt (December 2004). "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas". Game Informer. Vol. 14, no. 140. p. 170. M.lebedev (talk) 13:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, that's it. I found it thanks to the link you sent earlier. M.lebedev (talk) 13:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Rhain, have you completed your review of this nomination? The review isn't considered complete until an icon has been included indicating the status of the nomination; a tick is required to signal the bot of this completion so it knows to move the nomination to the Approved page, and so that promoters can tell whether it's a regular or AGF approval. Please return as soon as you can to continue (or complete) your review. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Seems I forgot the tick—thanks for the ping. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Grand Theft Auto VI
editHello. Saying that Rockstar Games is developing Grand Theft Auto VI while it's developed by other studio which only belongs to Rockstar Games (to be strict, even this is not officially confirmed) is false. Eurohunter (talk) 13:37, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- For this reason, there is no developer mentioned in infobox. Eurohunter (talk) 13:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- We know is that the game is in development by Rockstar Games; this is both true and verifiable. If we discover the primary developer is one of its subsidiaries, the article can be edited accordingly. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 13:44, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Editor of the Week
editEditor of the Week | ||
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project) |
User:TechnoSquirrel69 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
- This is one of those cases where I'm shocked the editor has not been recognized with this award before. Rhain (talk · contribs · count · logs) is a content creation veteran with over 70 GAs spanning the last decade, primarily relating to video games. Some of my favorite examples of his work are Hayao Miyazaki and Red Dead Redemption 2, not to mention The Last of Us (all Million Award–eligible, by the way)! I met Rhain when he reviewed my first GAN, and above even his considerable writing experience, I was struck by his attention to detail and his humble, helpful communication style — two things I'm sure will stick with me throughout my editing journey. This project needs more editors like him, and I hope you'll agree he deserves this recognition as a small token of the community's appreciation. Seconded by MPGuy2824.

List of The Last of Us characters not actually lists?
editI'm following up about your recent reverts of me, where I classified Characters of The Last of Us Part II as a list, which I was quite confused by. Just to be clear, you don't think the items included at List of The Last of Us characters are lists? Additionally, you also nominated and helped promote Characters of The Last of Us to featured list status. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Check the edit history and WP:NVGC. There's also a relevant discussion here. In short, it was loosely determined that character lists with significant individual development and reception are article-class, whereas plain lists are list-class. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- The edit history you cited is just someone else changing it, that's not particular relevant. As for the classification, why are Characters of The Last of Us (a featured list you promoted) and Characters of The Last of Us (TV series) classified as a list while Characters of The Last of Us Part II is not? This doesn't make sense and they should be consistent with one another. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- The TV series article was classified as article-class until you changed it back. The first game article was promoted almost a decade ago and was maintained for simplicity and legacy. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

The Daleks' Master Plan hook?
editHi thanks for good article - can we discuss hook at Template:Did you know nominations/The Daleks' Master Plan please Chidgk1 (talk) 10:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
DYK for The Daleks' Master Plan
editOn 3 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Daleks' Master Plan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that three-quarters of Doctor Who's longest story are missing? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Daleks' Master Plan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Daleks' Master Plan), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
FYI: GA Nom for Music of The Last of Us Part II
editHi again, I decided to do some additional work on a few articles on the subject of The Last of Us, and ended up nominating Music of The Last of Us Part II for good article status. I see you've been the overwhelming contributor to the article, so I thought I'd give you a heads up.
Take care! BarntToust (talk) 19:16, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- I appreciate your useful contributions to these articles! However, I have undone the nomination as it is technically classifiable as a "drive-by" per WP:GAI. I intend to improve all Part II articles to reach GA quality soon before nominating. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:00, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, that point stands even though I'm the second-biggest contributor to the article. Hey, if I end up contributing at least 10% of the article I'll just re-nom it myself. But if not so, I'll be eligible to review it.
- Thanks for going back and undoing a bunch of my Guardian Media Group added cites stuff. I undid two of them myself that you missed. Also, thank you for seeking out all of those filming photos for The Last of Us season 2. All your evident, tireless work on this subject deserves a barnstar. I'll attach one below. BarntToust (talk) 00:17, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
This barnstar is:
editThe Barnstar of Diligence | ||

CS1 error on List of video game soundtracks considered the best
editHello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page List of video game soundtracks considered the best, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
- A bare URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 23:00, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
See line 595. In the English language, a phrase with a comma is spelled with a space following the comma. The rest of the changes are AWB default general fixes, meaning that they have been designated as general improvements. BD2412 T 03:10, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm aware of how commas work, but that is how the original reference is formatted (though there might be an argument to correct the punctuation per MOS:CONFORMTITLE). I'm also aware that the rest of the changes were AWB default, but most were unnecessary and introduced inconsistencies. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 03:30, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- The poor formatting of the original reference can permissibly be maintained, but comma spacing errors tend to be a distraction and an eyesore to the reader, even where they reflect the original source. I use the AWB defaults because they are generally understood to bring the encyclopedia as a whole into greater consistency, even if they may be countereffected in a specific article from time to time. Where that happens, the better outcome is probably to bring any remaining inconsistencies into conformity with the defaults. BD2412 T 03:39, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Generally speaking, I'm a fan of consistency between articles, but when it comes to references (and especially ref names), I value internal consistency over conformity to a bot-defined "default". – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 04:00, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey, a publisher of resources often used in the scope of the Last of Us project has a Wikipedia page now, and I'd thought I'd let you know about the task of hyperlinking these, since you might be able to come up with a bot that does the hyperlinking.
Have a good one! BarntToust (talk) 16:43, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up! I've been waiting for that article to be created—I appreciate your work. Bots aren't really my forte, but I'll definitely look into linking to the article where relevant. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:51, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
