Hello, Strider07. I notice that either primary sources are used in the article or no secondary sources are used as sources. Also, there are too many non-free images, contrary to WP:NOTREPOSITORY. You can use one infobox image and just one screenshot. Have you searched for sources discussing or covering this video game? --George Ho (talk) 08:17, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh... I notice that one of the revisions contains similar captions. Are the current images similar to those tagged by Train2104 for speedy deletion and then deleted by Fastily? --George Ho (talk) 09:55, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@George Ho: The deleted images were the same but tagged with {{PD-because}} and a bogus rationale (not a non-free tag), so I F9'ed them. – Train2104 (t • c) 12:28, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

czar, Strider07 reinserted the content, including the images. What else to be done about this? --George Ho (talk) 22:50, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Strider07, Wikipedia follows a Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle process. We've provided reasons why the content cannot stand, as written in our edit summaries (in the page history), and you have an opportunity to respond here. But if you continue to revert without discussing, that's viewed as edit warring and it only ends in blocked accounts. Please edit productively with us. czar 23:10, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

czar Idon't know how to respond here thats why I'm editing this page... Sir I don't get it about what the problem is with my content... Can you please explain it to me so that I don't do further mistakes? And please for a day or two do not remove the content... I'll edit it myself as you say but please explain it to me about what wrong the article has... Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strider07 (talk • contribs) 07:42, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Strider07, if the text was copied from a source, it is a copyright violation and needs to be removed. The text should be paraphrased from a reliable, secondary source (e.g., from a hit in the video game reliable sources custom Google search). Wikipedia has very stringent restrictions on fair use content, so unless there is some some contextual significance (I could get into it, but there isn't in this case), we only keep an identifying logo/box art and a single gameplay screenshot to exemplify what cannot be adequately described in text. You can read more about Wikipedia's core principles at WP:5P. You're welcome to add text back in the future if it is indeed paraphrased and sourced properly, but all unsourced text needs to be removed ASAP. czar 07:54, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But I did not copy it from anywhere, I typed it up myself... What to do if I want to keep the content without any problems... Should I create a new section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strider07 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Strider07, the plot appears to be directly copied... We only keep content that has been sourced to a reliable, secondary source. The granular gameplay detail needs to be rewritten for a general audience (no jargon). For a good model (both in content and citation formatting), see any article in this list. The video game guidelines also give good advice on how much detail to add and how to phrase gameplay concepts. czar 16:42, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I get it about the content... I'll change it... And for the copy part... I haven't... I have used this content in a blog and this Wikipedia page...but still I will fix it... Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strider07 (talk • contribs) 08:02, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
