Fields of Mistria work

As someone with interests in (and mainly edit) video games and railway related content, I was literally planning to create that article sometime by end of August! (even if its a stub) I never thought it would be notable enough to be on Wikipedia, especially since its still in early access. I am also really impressed at it because it's at almost 20k bytes! I drafted it in [my userpage] planning it out and just started it. Looks like it's the new Stardew Valley (at 70k bytes). I will also send a barnstar shortly.

Anyway, thats a really amazing article!! Good work! JuniperChill (talk) 19:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Luckily enough, the game has actually received coverage from reliable sources, and it will probably continue getting coverage in the coming period. You do not see 100,000 downloads in a week for an indie game every day. And yes, the game looks very cool, even though I haven't tried it yet. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 20:15, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Just like when I planned to create My Time at Sandrock, but that was created a month before I started editing. I did make substantial edits to that however and did like almost half the work.

I do play both Sandrock and Mistria, and until June/july this year, managed to improve Sandrock without playing that. But yeah, both games are really fun and cozy to play! I also can't believe there's an NPC with my name in Mistria. JuniperChill (talk) 20:40, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

@JuniperChill: If Fields of Mistria indeed gets AfD-ed you can remove the barnstar you gave me and I'll bring the article over to my userspace and hopefully return it to mainspace in the coming period. If you find any newer sources by any chance, feel free to add them (this also goes for other editors). Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 11:57, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	Great job on the Fields of Mistria article!! It's a farm sim that I planned to create, but never thought someone would beat me to it! JuniperChill (talk) 19:47, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Nintendo edit last year

Sorry to bug you over a routine edit you made last year, but it's a real head scratcher. Nintendo has a [non sequitur] tag referring to controversial video games as "simply games", and looking back in the history I see that you changed "pornographic" to "simply" during a script-based edit. (Special:Diff/1149162953) Do you have any idea how this could have happened? Thanks! QuietCicada chirp 22:14, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

The User:Ohconfucius/script/Common Terms.js script did that. For some reason, the script replaces the word "pornographic" with "simply" as seen on regex(/\[\[(?:pornography\||)(porn|pornograph(y|ic))\]\]/gi, 'simply');. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 22:18, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Myogonji Kitsune (16:07, 4 September 2024)

Thanks! I'm almost done with translating a new page, but since I'm new I should leave it as a draft and wait until someone reviews it? --Myogonji Kitsune (talk) 16:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @Myogonji Kitsune:. I've left some useful links on your talk page. I recommend submitting the article via WP:Articles for creation, considering that you'll get additional feedback on whether the article is ready for mainspace or not.

DCWC submission declined

Hey Vacant0, and thanks for your contributions in the Developing Countries WikiContest. I've had to decline your submission of this FAC review as it is unfortunately too short to award points for. Please see the relevant section of the scoring rules for more information. However, it looks like the candidate has not yet received a source review, so I discussed it with another coordinator and we agreed that your submission could be accepted if you conducted one. I hope you'll consider that, and please let me or another coordinator know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:30, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures' soundtrack

Hello! I've noticed that you've been improving the game article over the last few days. I could see that you removed a passage from it, due to the lack of sources to support it. I'm referring to the paragraph explaining that certain pieces of the soundtrack were taken from The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones series. I myself have tried to find internet sources to this effect in the past, without success. However, I did notice that the game's own credits did mention the episodes in the series from which the tracks in question were taken, and the respective composers of these episodes. This can be seen in this YouTube video at 5:28. I'm not sure if this represents an acceptable source on Wikipedia, but I wanted to point it out in case it might be useful to you. Sorcier du Lac (talk) 04:48, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes, we can use the credits as a source. I've added the material to the article. Thanks for spotting that in the credits. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 11:14, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
