[edit] Platform game rating

Hi Frogacuda,

You've worked really hard on Platform game, and I must say it's improved quite a bit. Nice job. There's just one thing that bugs me, and that is that you gave it an A-Class quality rating. It is a general practice that you don't just go in and rate an article that high without a general consensus.

I believe that the article does not meet the necessary criteria, especially in the areas of a well-written introduction and lots more notable sources. I would reccomend trying to nominate it for GA status first, and with the feedback from that, work to bring the article up to A-Class. If you have any questions, leave a message on my talk page. Thanks, Green451 22:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

In addition, the article does not qualify for top importance, that is reserved for articles such as Computer and video games. Platform game qualifies for mid importance at best, as no genre articles are being rated above that. Green451 22:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow, that was fast! I understand it can take time to get used to the procedures and stuff, so no problem. I've gone in and fixed up the ratings for you, and a quick reminder: put your talk posts at the bottom of a page, and sign them with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks, Green451 22:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hiya Frogcuda. I've taken a look and left a few very minor changes on the talk page. I certainly wouldn't expect any issues with the change by the end of the day or early tomorrow. Big pat on the back for the work you put in on those cites btw. BigHairRef | Talk 17:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Super Mario 64

I reverted your edits. They are well-referenced, and are not just peacock words. Andre (talk) 03:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

They are referenced! Look at all these references: Nintendo basically set the standards for how 3D space would be navigated within video games with Super Mario 64. -- GameSpot; Super Mario 64 completely changed the way video games are perceived. -- IGN; The title successfully proved that the famously polished, tried-and-true 2D play mechanics of the Super Mario Bros. series could be translated to 3D and, indeed, even in some cases improved upon. It also simultaneously helped define 3D gaming as a whole and pushed Nintendo's plumber mascot even further into the spotlight as one of the most recognizable figures in the games industry. -- IGN; The polygon-pushing power of the N64 provided him with a new challenge: not so much to invent a new kind of gaming as to redefine an existing genre to make use of new technology. Mario 64 succeeded at doing precisely that, largely because of the care and thoughtfulness invested into the game. -- 1UP. Andre (talk) 04:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Your edit is trying tone down language that doesn't need to be toned down. As for the reception paragraph, the reference to 1UP is right there... and there are plenty other references that say the same thing. Andre (talk) 04:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there are any Reliable sources that say incorrect information about the game like what you're suggesting. Andre (talk) 04:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

It is considered so revolutionary... opinion. It helped to define the genre... indisputable fact. Andre (talk) 02:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Take a look; I too have re-worded it. Andre (talk) 02:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Sounds to me like you're splitting hairs, but I can get some more references. Hold on. Andre (talk) 03:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Keep up the good work

Thank you for your efforts to improve the Mario 64 article. There have been few editors doing some serious work on it lately, and its nice to see someone making an effort to improve it. I've been trying to fix up the development section myself, and any input would be appreciated.--Kingston Jr. 09:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Incorrect information"?

Hi Frogacuda,

What's with this edit? Generally, we don't add "incorrect information" to Wikipedia. Please be careful of what you write; if the edit summary was a typo, please proofread your submissions before you hit "save", both in the edit summary box and in the text itself. If what you put into the article was incorrect information, please don't do that again. For now, I've reverted your change, as I cannot tell which part of your submission is valid.
