Hmph. Should've expected my answers to the interview wouldn't be here. Guess they were too boring to add. GamerPro64 20:43, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Maybe late? AGF. Montanabw^(talk) 01:36, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Nah. I emailed it to her and she said my answers were very good. So I guess it didn't flow well with the other answers. GamerPro64 02:01, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

No, that's my bad, GamerPro64. I knew I was screwing something up--and I had a personal thing going on at the same time I was finishing things up. I'm very sorry. Maybe I can do a follow up since I have another person who did respond late. Let me run that by the SignPost. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:11, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Whatever works out is fine by me. GamerPro64 22:01, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

• Yes, at Video Games assessment page I see there are over 30,000 articles. That is impressive. Wondering what percentage of games that might be? Cheers! — JoeHebda • (talk) 04:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
  • That's a silly thing to ask: that's a bit like asking how many drawings are out there. Just going to one of those free flash game websites will show that there are infinitely many games that don't get the kind of coverage needed to meet WP:GNG. Friends of mine keep trying to create games without really making anything worth playing ^_^; Unless if you're asking what percentage of the articles are about specific video games. That could be a pretty interesting question. ~Mable (chat) 08:39, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

• I'll echo the call for more articles on non-English video game topics. There are large gaps in our coverage of Chinese, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese video gaming. If there are any editors who have knowledge of RSes in these topic areas, we'd love to hear some input at WT:VG/RS! -Thibbs (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
  • We could always use more speakers of Japanese too! soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 12:38, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks @Megalibrarygirl: for a well-researched, well-written article. I have added it to the 2008 and 2009 Signpost articles about the same WikiProject at Category:WikiProjects featured in The Signpost. Ottawahitech (talk) 23:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

• Interesting read. I feel the same way about WP:VG. A lot of collaboriation and feedback, but also working solo. @Czar: I feel the exact same way about AfD! :D soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 12:38, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
