Thanks for the hold. I haven't been working on this article, but I'll help address the issues and then help with a thorough copyedit. On a related note, the "Brandtastic!!!!" comment made my day. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks—I like to inject a little humour/sarcasm every now and then. I look forward to viewing the amendments. Ashnard Talk Contribs 16:03, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with Gary, I improved the article, but I forgot to copy-edit it. I also loved the sarcasm, BRANDTASTIC, I gotta use that. ;) But I responded to your concerns, at the review page, here.--SRX--LatinoHeat 17:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I have fixed the article acording to the problems you told me adress and I think you would like it. I only need people to come through and do a quick copy-editing.Gears Of War 12:48, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Brawl FAC
[edit]Brawl has been nominated. Thanks for your support and request for a preliminary assessment like last time. Unfortunately, I already listed it on the FAC page... Just leave an assessment there. Thanks! Oh, and on a side note, I'm reviewing your GAN of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. There's not any big issues, and they might take probably 10 minutes max. to fix. --haha169 (talk) 03:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Again? Fingers crossed! —Giggy 09:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- I hope so! And I think I just broke a wiki-record. I fixed all of Ashnard's concerns in less than an hour. I may find some extensions of his problems later on, but as of now, they are basically fixed. W00t! :) (This also included fixing Eagyldth's concerns. --haha169 (talk) 18:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Haha, I'm going to dediacte a lot of time to copyedit the article generally, as well as my comments. Thanks for fixing all of the issues raised. Cheers. Ashnard Talk Contribs 18:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, and thanks for your time. I'm going to go take a break right now, and check on the FAC processes a bit later today.--haha169 (talk) 18:54, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Ashnard, I am amazed at the status of the Brawl article. I read the entire development section without thinking a particular sentence felt awkward, and fixing it. In fact, the entire article made me feel that way! I did find one sentence that I corrected myself, but really, good job! I've also done some minor shortening of places in the Gameplay section to try and fix your neutrality in the FAC.--haha169 (talk) 16:40, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- This has just reminded me how stressed how I was during the Melee FAC. Anyway, I'm glad I could be of assisstance. In case you didn't know, make sure you cite that quote that Jappalang picked up on. Good luck!!! Ashnard TalkContribs 16:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

The Copyeditor's Barnstar | ||
Thank you for your amazing work on copy-editing the Super Smash Bros. Brawl article. You just may have saved its FAC, and by extension, FTC. Thank you so much! I really do appreciate it. :) haha169 (talk) 16:53, 2 July 2008 (UTC) |
Thank you. This is really appreciated. Ashnard Talk Contribs 16:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Ashnard, I have a dream that you changed your stance from neutral to support. Additional copy-editing has been done by Laser Brain and I, as well as fixing some concerns of Sandy Georgia. I must say, the article is now literate to people who don't understand video game jargon. :) Anyway, you should check it out. Thanks!--haha169 (talk) 05:14, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- You dream about me, Haha? Okay, now I'm creeped out;-). Left comments at the FAC. Ashnard Talk Contribs 08:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- :) Lolz. I was quoting Martin Luther King, but dreaming about you is good too. Actually, last night, I dreamt I was a werewolf in China, and some guy was after me. Anyway, I'm sure you'll be happy to know that Brawl has been promoted to FA status! Its now at WP:FTC. :) I think our topic dream is coming close... --haha169 (talk) 16:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Copyediting Crash of the Titans
[edit]I was advised by User:Jappalang to get a dedicated and capable copyeditor to go over the Crash of the Titans article (currently a GA) and help get it to A-Class or Featured Article, and you seem to fit the criteria. Sorry if you're busy, but could you go over it sometime? Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 13:40, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm flattered. I'll copyedit the article and leave some suggestions either today or tomorrow. Thanks. Ashnard Talk Contribs 14:10, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, that's probably the best Crash related article I've seen on WP. (Not a good thing, but then again I don't look very hard!) I've done a bit of copyediting and will try and help out some more. —Giggy 14:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Alleyway FAC
[edit]I've addressed the issues mentioned in the FAC by you regarding the article.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Cleaned up the other issues mentioned now. Sorry if this is like pulling teeth, but I really want to get it and some of my other articles to FA. Btw, would you be interested in doing some copyediting on the other said articles if I tossed you links to them?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah. I plan on doing multiple assessment in a week, so that would just mean that they're all directed your way this time. It's pretty late where I am, so I'll look over Alleyway tomorrow and reconsider. Cheers. Ashnard Talk Contribs 21:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to bug you like this, but I was wondering if you could give Alleyway another onceover for a copyedit, since the FA is kinda...sitting there, right now, and I'm at a dead end to see how to improve the article further >_<'--Kung Fu Man (talk) 05:28, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yep. I'll probably wait to finish writing Mario Party 4 first, though. Don't worry about the FAC—it seems all the VG ones are pretty stagnant at the moment. Ashnard Talk Contribs 08:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I've copyedited it. Sometimes I've been unsure by what is meant so I've reworded to clarify based on assumption. If I've made a mistake, or you disagree with the alteration, feel free to revert back. Ashnard Talk Contribs 10:58, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Mind having a looky over something for me?
[edit]I've been constructing a rewrite for Doom 3 over the last ten days or so here, and I'm nearing completion: just have to do the reception section and the introduction, as well as sort out a few last bits of referencing. I was wondering if I could borrow your knack for reviewing articles at FAC to give it a look over, just to check for spelling errors, bad wording, and other bits that might hold the article back at a good article nominations. I'm hoping to have it at GAN fairly soon after its been completed. And do you think the plot section is too long? I wanted to do it in three or at most four paragraphs, and was rather disappointed when I couldn't get it to anything less than five. Thanks, Sabre (talk) 18:52, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- Looking good. I'll give it a lookover some time this week. Do you want it to be a general look over, or a detailed review, like for an FAC? Cheers, Sabre. Ashnard Talk Contribs 19:21, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm after a general look, but if you want to do a full FAC-esque review, that would be spiffing! -- Sabre (talk) 21:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- I've moved the article to mainspace, if you wouldn't mind running through the version there rather than the one in sandbox. Don't worry, I've still got your tweaks you made to the intro a few minutes before, I didn't notice that you'd made them until after I'd copied the article! -- Sabre (talk) 15:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm right in the middle of doing a full review. Do you want me to stay on the sandbox or go to the mainspace one? Ashnard Talk Contribs 15:46, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oh darn, I wouldn't have moved it out if I'd known you were doing the review at that moment - as I said, I didn't notice your edits until afterwards. Well, since its out, I'd suggest moving to the mainspace one, leave any comments on the main article's talk page. Since you're doing the full review, ignore the tweaked comment I made earlier. Sorry if this messes things up a bit, I do apologise! -- 15:58, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. I won'y be able to finish it straight away since my time on the PC is frequently interrupted, but I should finish some time today. Ashnard Talk Contribs 16:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Magazine
[edit]Hey Ashnard, just wondering if you have the NOM issue decribed here:[1]
Based on your userpage and this it "ONM" or "NOM"? « ₣M₣ » 13:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm afraid not. I only have ONM, which is 2007 to present. NOM was the official Nintendo magazine in the UK before that. Technically, ONM is the successor to NOM, although there is a different editorial team and publisher. Sorry. Ashnard Talk Contribs 16:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Re: A pox upon Mario Tennis sources
[edit]Check your email. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 14:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Mario Role Playing Games
[edit]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Judgesurreal777/Topic_Building#Mario_RPG_series Take a look, there could be a featured topic out of the Mario RPG games...Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:04, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I was planning on getting Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario to GA at some point. However, our major stumbling block is a lack of info relating to development of the games in general. Without this, I can't see any of them passing FA. Thanks for the note, Judge. Ashnard Talk Contribs 17:08, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Another thought, is that you should do a draft of what the four Mario RPG articles (main one, characters, music, and world) would look like merged together and polished up. I think that one article covering all aspects of that game would be a Featured article, instead of 4 articles that keep stretching to be notable. That would help build the topic I think. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 21:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- Good idea. The only problem is that Super Mario RPG is the only one of the GAs then I didn't write (User: Kariteh). I haven't played the game too, which could make things difficult. However, the actual information seems to exist already so we could work on the idea of a merge and then a big charge to get it to FA standard. It may be worthwile getting a collaboration between myself, Kariteh, Guyinblack and you on one of the user sandboxes to see what it would look like. The only problem remaining then, however would be that alone wouldn't be enough for a featured topic, I think. But yeah, I'd be prepared to give that a go.

SSBM
[edit]I've been bored, so I was checking the external links checker for FA VG articles, and leaving comments on the talk pages of articles with excessive amounts of dead external links. SSBM, though, only has one. But I'm unable to fix this one since Edge seems to have taken Melee off its site completely. Its current ref 52. Do you know anything about it? --haha169 (talk) 00:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- They must have taken the "review archive" feature off the site. I've replaced it with the actual magazine ref. Thanks for the heads up. Ashnard Talk Contribs 13:47, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. I spotted the problem, so I might as well tell someone! --haha169 (talk) 18:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Copyedit request
[edit]Sorry to bug ya again, but I could use a copyedit on Final Fantasy VII (Famicom) to tidy it up and improve its legibility. It seems I've exhausted all the information I can about it (given Square Enix seems to be actively sniping auctions of it [2] and sent me a rather blunt "don't step on our copyrights" letter when I asked them about the game, I can safely rule out EGM or such ever covering it o_O') so the only thing left is to improve what I have and try to get it FA quality with that.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I should be able to give it a thorough copyedit some time this week. Thanks. Ashnard Talk Contribs 09:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- I did a bit of work on it too. —Giggy 10:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
If your able Ashnard, I would like you to do the same process for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. « ₣M₣ » 13:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
- Okay. Hopefully, by the end of weekend I'll have given a copyedit and a full list of issues/comments on the talk page. Cheers. Ashnard Talk Contribs 13:58, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hey now don't say that. I'm very thankful you took the time and effort, I just wasn't sure what you were planning to do since that was the second time you altered the sentence to read like that. You're well aware of what others such as David think of your copyediting abilities and that's the reason I asked you. I really couldn't put it any better myself [3]. I guess your done now, so thanks and if your willing, I look forward towards your assistance again in the future. Cheers, « ₣M₣ » 15:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Apologies for spitting my dummy out. I'll help out any time you want to. Cheers, FMF. Ashnard Talk Contribs 15:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
How did you like them can of worms about the list of events? Took forever to get that to FA... Anyway, congrats on having the 100th VG-related FA. « ₣M₣ » 00:29, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that was unlucky. I probably would have offered some form of opinion but I avoid such types of discussion when I can nowadays. Anywho, congratulations on Mario & Sonic. As for the hundredth, I didn't know until you told me:-) Thanks!!
Two things: Ike is cheap and I need you to C.E. F-Zero whenever you can. « ₣M₣ » 19:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- Say that again and I'll e-Falcon Punch you in the face;-). Anywho, you've caught me at a good time. I've just got a week off from college, so I should be able to give it a once over by the end of the weekend. Cheers. Ashnard Talk Contribs 20:00, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
RE: Peer Review
[edit]Thanks for the Wipeout 3 review. I'm going to get to all your concerns and such. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find sales data via the interwebs or from a newspaper, maybe there is some old sales charts page but for right now I'm not sure. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:04, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah that's annoying, especially as I keep on seeing the sales data for the older, original version. The only thing I got was a GameSpy page saying that "And though it didn't help make Wipeout 3 a commercial success, it was no less an example of uncompromised, artistic game-making. " from here. Anywho, good luck at FAC. Ashnard Talk Contribs 07:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for the find... I'll keep digging, but if worst comes to worst at least there's a general picture of how it fared poorly. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 15:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Wanna work on a Mario Tennis FT?
[edit]Since you featured Mario Power Tennis, I suspect that it's then that much easier to do a featured topic. I think that starting on the first two Camelot Mario Tennises would be best, then Power Tour, then the series, and finally, Mario's Tennis - if we can't GA it, it still counts if we do a successful peer review. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:16, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- I'd be willing to do that although my time's being cut short since I've just started college, so I can only work on weekends. Since I haven't played the rest, it would probably be easiest if you research/write the gameplay mechanics, and then we can strike a balance about who does what. As you'll know, whether we can take any to FA will depend on any development info available; I can almost always manage to scrape some form of it together to be enough for GA though. But yeah, just let me know when you're ready. Cheers, Link. Ashnard Talk Contribs 20:42, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
[edit]The only way that it was actually ever rated A-Class is if there was an off-article discussion, which certainly does not qualify. I don't understand why you continue to revert - A-class needs a review just as much as GA-class. Hell, MORE. There was clearly no review on the talk page, so it shouldn't be A-class. A-class can't be slapped onto the talk page anymore than GA or FA. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 19:41, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- I just think you should have queried this with User: Kung Fu Man first. If an established user has rated it that way, then there must be a misunderstanding or mistake, either with you or with him. Anywho, are you not curious as to why this happened? Because I certainly did not request assessment. I'll happily revert myself once the thing's been explained. If you have no intention of asking KFM, then I will. Cheers. Ashnard Talk Contribs 19:54, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- I have no problem asking him. However, I removed it because people are rating articles as A-class as if it's just like B-class - a class without any requirements to meet. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 19:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm pretty much indifferent to A-class—I don't really care whether this article is stripped of it or not. I suppose I should have followed this one up when it first happened... Cheers. Ashnard Talk Contribs 20:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

- I have no problem asking him. However, I removed it because people are rating articles as A-class as if it's just like B-class - a class without any requirements to meet. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 19:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Re: Paper Mario
[edit]You can see it here. To my understanding of policies (and apparently everyone else given recent ratings), it takes two reviewers to agree to grant an article A-class quality. In this case, it was myself and SomoneAnother. I don't know what all this discussion hoopla is, but I don't think we've ever discussed A-class rating for an article. Just used two editors on the assessment request page.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 20:25, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Just writing to confirm that Kung Fu Man had supported A-class promotion, I in turn read through the article, agreed and then countersigned it. There was no talk page discussion on the article because this was done via signature on the assessments page. If A-class remains operational then the project needs to lay down exactly what is expected in terms of documentation and participation. Someoneanother 00:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. I hope I didn't come off as accusative or anything, it's just that Link questioned the assessment without a formal review, so I neededto follow it up. Thanks. Ashnard Talk Contribs 17:17, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- No not at all, the question was asked so it's only right that an explanation is offered. Someoneanother 18:21, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you, I know you're semi-retired and all, but I need a copy edit on the article...it's up for FAC, and an editor brought the prose in question. You're one of the best people I know to turn to for help :\--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm in a position where I don't know if I can accept such requests any more, given that things are really intense with the work load. I definitely won't be able to do it this week, but will probably be able to squeeze something in at the weekend, but no promises. I'm not being rude, it's just that I have three exams in January, and five mock exams in that period. But yeah, in summary: this weekend, but not 100 percent.

- I understand completely, got the college semester winding down myself. Good luck on your exams for what it's worth. :)--Kung Fu Man (talk) 11:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Requesting information for What's Cooking? with Jamie Oliver
[edit]Hey, nice job keeping Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Magazines/Nintendo Official Magazine and other related pages up-to-date. I'm looking for information on What's Cooking? with Jamie Oliver, and I see that October 2008 and Christmas 2008 issues both have info on it. Could you please send those to me?
Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 19:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Sure; they're fairly short pieces, so it shouldn't take too much time. I don't have a scanner, so do you want it via e-mail or on your talk page? Ashnard Talk Contribs 20:48, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Either is fine. If it's too long then email is probably better. Gary King (talk) 20:49, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Okay thanks Gary King (talk) 04:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Mario Power Tennis
[edit]I think it needs to be its own section because we'll likely have development information and reception for it, especially with it coming out in almost a month. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:51, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that it will eventually need this, but I just think we should hold off until we have more information. Thanks for the info, by the way. Ashnard Talk Contribs 22:07, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Great thing about the Play on Wii release is that it will allow this article to grow far larger, especially if it comes out of Japan (which it likely will). - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 22:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and a little something else
[edit]Hey. I seem to recall you were busy with other things. However, I was just wondering if you were planning, at all, to work on getting the Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon article to GA status? Since it's been out in Europe for a while, although the NA release is still a few months away.
Also, is there any way I can contact you outside of Wikipedia? Since I don't want to spam your talk page. I was just wondering if you were interested in writing a Fire Emblem-based article for my site ^^
Of course, neither of these are urgent matters. Aveyn Knight (talk) 20:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm really busy with my AS-levels. I'm currently playing through Shadow Dragon, albeit very slowly due to work. I was planning on helping to take it to GA once I've completed it, but I'll probably hold off until after my initial exams in January. Regarding your site, it sounds really interesting, and something that I'd be happily prepared to commit to once my schedule loosens up. It's probably best if you e-mail me now regarding specifics and then we can decide what to do. Contact me via my e-mail, which can be accessed via the "e-mail this user" link on the lower left-hand toolbox. Don't worry about the talk page and spam—I enjoy getting messages. Cheers.
