Fallout (series)

I am about sick of people thinking they can insult me and then pretend nothing happened, and now it is being repeated. 'Musings' does not conform to WP:EQ. I addressed the issue of whether the Fallout 1 character is properly named Pipboy or Fallout Boy, an issue that is hotly debated as you can see here, #9 Fallout Boy, an execrable example of PoV to be sure, but it shows the depth of feeling about this issue. I have restored the material, in a shortened form.

Studios, as I explained in my edit summary, was reverted automatically by something, a glitch that happens occasionally when I forget to check the differences, and I went to correct it immediately, but it appears I forgot. I used to think I was being hacked, and made a complaint as such, but now I think it must be some reaction between my firewall and the wiki software or some such. My apologies, and thank you for correcting this.

A phrase by a website does not trump an entire Wiki article. See tactical roleplaying games, which would seem to have been proper practice before quoting it. Fallout features isometric view, and turn based combat. It is the very definition of a tactical roleplaying game. Perhaps that definition needs to be changed? My edits show clearly that it has more roleplaying elements than other examples of the genre. It most certainly is not a RPG. Anarchangel (talk) 05:49, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Matt, I'm the guy who did the edit that Anarchangel reverted. I've chimed in on his talk page. Iroll (talk) 15:18, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

reverting vandalism

Thanks for the note on my talk page. I thought I had reverted back to the last correct version of the Timmins article, but apparently, I grabbed the wrong copy. No worries... someone came around after me and corrected my mistake so everything seems back in order now. --Renrenren (talk) 15:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
