Where to mention?

edit

The World of Darkness this cover/edition that has a review in RT doesn't have a dedicated entry as far as I can tell, is likely notable. For now I added a review mention to the main article where the redirect leads. Another one I don't even know where to mention is World of Darkness: Chicago. . That review calls it a spiritual and better successor of Chicago by Night. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:56, 4 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Piotrus, you want The World of Darkness: Storytelling System Rulebook. :) BOZ (talk) 04:33, 4 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Nice, I'll ask for it indeed, just on the off chance it had some hard to find source. As for images, I collected them at commons:Category:Wolsung, but for the usual copyright reasons, they are hard to find. At least on en wiki we will be able to use fair use images.

I see what you mean, it's like it wants to constantly reload. IA goes goofy sometimes, maybe give it a few hours or a day and try again. Maybe one of my talk page watchers wants to try it and see. BOZ (talk) 15:11, 10 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
I've tried it with Firefox, Chrome and Edge, nothing worked. --Cyfal (talk) 15:44, 10 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Cyfal Thanks. The main page loads (for 2012), it looks like it was some niche game review website, but of dubious reliability (). The posts seem signed by real name person, but I see no 'about us' or anything describing them, which generally is a sign of a very amateurish project. I did, in fact, luck out and stumble upon a snippet of their review here: https://web.archive.org/web/20121016045900/http://agamemag.com/archives/category/reviews Sigh. While the author Brandon Stanbrough seems findable on the net, I don't think the review would be of much use given the meh quality of the website - and fortunately, we don't need it (the game is notable without it). Thanks for looking, and enjoy the entry at Wolsung, now published and at DYK :) (on pl wiki there is a separate old page about the RPG itself; I am not that motivated to split it here).

House of the Wolf (novel) moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to House of the Wolf (novel). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 03:23, 21 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Alien 2600

edit

Just wanted to say thanks for all the encouragement as I slowly built up the article for Alien (1982 video game). It was one that I felt was nearly at the level of potentially not having enough content to turn it into anything until slowly but surely finding more and more content to build it up. Lets hope it can become its GA review without too much hassle! Anyways, your encouragement definitely helped me keep going on that, so thank you!

Hi BOZ,

As you have been keeping an eye on the RPG articles' covers, I was wondering if you would want to upload those book covers yourself as well. You can use my Book Cover upload script if you want to: User:Kingsacrificer/BookCover.js

Moreover, I noticed many of your articles are unrated. If you'd like to rate them quickly, this script (User:Evad37/rater.js) could be useful for you.

In case of any doubts, you always have WP:BOOKS. Cheers! Kingsacrificer (talk) 13:28, 11 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

The Serpent River (Book Cover).webp

Hi, I'm getting no image and the ? in a blue box.

When I click the image I get the message:

Sorry, the file cannot be displayed There seems to be a technical issue. You can retry if it persists. Error: could not load image from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/ce/The_Serpent_River_%28Book_Cover%29.webp/273px-The_Serpent_River_%28Book_Cover%29.webp.png

when I click on the image in the viewer, it then shows separately. I suspect there's something wrong with the image format and or the name. Please note that the image is attributed to https://www.scribd.com/document/528056919/Earthdawn-the-Serpent-River, a site well known for its lax approach to copyright.

Hi BOZ,

Thanks for taking a look at my draft. I really appreciate the help. As you can see, I’m the subject and trying to follow best practices, so if there’s anything you’d recommend I work on or add source-wise, I’d be glad to help. I'm totally out of my depth here.

Thanks, Cyrano Knight (talk) 19:36, 23 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Comics an a reliable source list

edit

I think this might a long way to help, even if it mainly uses the video game one as a base. There's definitely a lot of instances of poor sourcing like Looper I've seen come up in that space, and something to go through and clean up would help figure out notability and more sweeping improvements across the project.

What do you think? Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:09, 8 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

That would be an awesome thing to have. I know hardly anything else can compete with the VG project, but there should at least in theory be lots and lots of sources for comics and characters. I work more in games that anything else, so are you talking something like Wikipedia:WikiProject Board and table games/Sources? BOZ (talk) 02:20, 8 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
That feels like it might be a bit of a start. I think with the overlap growing between comics and gaming, there is a case to be made for sharing of some standards (like it'd be weird to have a Comics article be built entirely on Valnet sources for example).--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:36, 8 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Somehow I stumbled upon this. Just adding here I strongly support this idea ModlordD (talk) 00:43, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Oh, it's definitely a great idea. It doesn't really matter how active the WikiProject is, there are plenty of editors who work independently, and having a list like that somewhere that people can find it would be a huge plus. I can't say that I have what it takes to get it started, but if you want to at least put a start on it that might get other people to help build it out. By the way @ModlordD, I wanted to give you a proper congratulations on getting Quicksilver (Marvel Comics) to GA - I feel like there are a ton of characters with that level of potential. :) BOZ (talk) 02:52, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks so much! Appreciate it. Thinking of doing some other Marvel characters soon! ModlordD (talk) 23:26, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Cool, can't wait to see it. :) You've got so many X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four, other superheroes to pick from, villains like Doctor Doom, Magneto, etc... there are easily dozens of characters that could be built up the way you did with Quicksilver. BOZ (talk) 23:45, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Couldn't respond on the post for a weird error reason, but thanks for letting me know about that article!

ModlordD (talk) 23:14, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good. :) Just a reminder that once an article gets to GA/FA it has to actually be maintained to those standards or it can always be brought back down again... BOZ (talk) 23:20, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yes of course. Luckily I don't think Quicksilver is outdated at all and Kingpin is still WIP ModlordD (talk) 23:24, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yep, there you go. :) There are a few dozen characters I think that could easily be GA, but you have to pick and choose the ones you want to work on. The reason they haven't all been done yet? It's a ton of work! :) BOZ (talk) 23:31, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

On using drafts to edit

edit

Thanks for this comment - please let me know if my approach is inappropriate. When improving short articles to GA, I build up sourcing incrementally. Some features of drafting, such as stacking sources about reception into shared claims, mean I am going back and forth on the prose and adding and deleting content as I go. I'm not sure if that would be more or less convenient than migrating additions over from a sandbox-style draft page, then G7 deleting the draft. VRXCES (talk) 23:10, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I don't think what you are doing is inappropriate, but since Draft pages are (in theory) intended for collaboration, if you need something to work on while you prepare an existing article, then a sandbox or userpage would be a good idea. BOZ (talk) 00:03, 24 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

The Whizz Kid?

edit

Just finished going through Electronic Games (the first run anyway. the revivals aren't on vghf and they're out of scope for me anyway). Lots of interesting stuff, but of course there's only so much time in the day to actually integrate it all. Take a look at the second to last page of the last issue: . It's an Imagic ad that lists five different reviews. Four are from mags familiar enough to both of us, but there's one called "The Whizz Kid". Do you know anything about this one? Is it a syndicated newspaper column perhaps? Google is giving me absolutely nothing here. Whipmywillows (talk) 03:59, 8 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

That may be a mystery for the ages... I tried some searching and the best I could come up with was several more copies of that same ad in other publications. :) Could be a newspaper column or even a column in a magazine.
