Providing Sources

Just an FYI, you cannot add in information about something that is supposedly going to happen in the future without providing a source to confirm this. For example, saying that certain actors will be providing voices for upcoming video games needs to have an outside news source to confirm this statement. If you need help with including sources in your posts, please don't hesitate to ask or see how other users have done this. Thanks.Bobbyandbeans (talk) 19:09, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I have now added the source for each voice actor that confirms they are voice acting their respected characters. Thank you for pointing this out for me, I will be more alert about this in the future. Saru786 (talk) 00:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Personal thoughts?

Hey, seeing how you have been wokring hard on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 lately, how excited are you for the game? How do you think it is going to compare to Battlefield 3? —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 22:17, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trust me, I can go into huge details and very tiny details as to which game I think is better. I've been in numerous debates (and arguments) about this very topic. But tbh, all I'm gonna say is, plain and simple, in my opinion, Battlefield 3 is the clear winner on PC, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the clear winner on console. And I'm a console gamer, so I'm leaning more towards MW3. But I do have BF3 pre-ordered on console, but I'm not looking forward to it as much as MW3. I'm so excited for MW3, I can't even explain my excitement. I love videogames in general and will edit long and hard to get as many videogames articles free of mistakes as I can. Saru786 (talk) 01:45, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you here. The newer COD games are just better on the console. I think it's just more fast-paced than BF. But then again BF3 looks like it will have better graphics and some different styles of gameplay. Either could be better. I personally prefer MW3. —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 09:57, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MW3's Engine

The Engine is unofficially the MW3 engine and is actually a modified version of the IW 4.0 engine. You need to look at the differences between engines. Look at the differences between iD Tech 4 and iD Tech 5. Look at the differences between the Creation Engine and the Gamebryo. --Schmeater (talk) 16:44, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm talking more about the name. It doesn't matter what the difference between IW 4.0 and IW 5.0 is. It is called MW3 Engine a.k.a. IW 5.0 by the developers and should be put in the article as so. Please don't change it again. Saru786 (talk) 17:25, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MW3 page

You should not undo those changes. No offense intended but it only looks better for you. You still need more reading experience. Let us guys with proper English change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red romanov (talk • contribs) 04:29, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your kidding me, right? That is not proper English. Read what you wrote. Carefully. Also, there is no reason for it to be in marketing and release. Black Ops had the Japanese release in the start of the article aswell and it was stated exactly as it is in this article. Please don't change it again after I do. I don't want an editing conflict to occur. Both your reasons for changing it are invalid. Until you have a vaild reason to change it, leave it be. Thank you. Saru786 (talk) 04:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My reasons are valid. I could explain:

-Leading section should summarize the most important points of the article. Special releases should be in the Release section, obvious as it says. Also, there are also versions with other dubbed languages like spanish or french. They are not important enough to be in the leading section with that length, even if you think Japanese is special. I see there is an example, but it could be inappropriate example which no one gives any attention to it.

-We need more official words instead of "subbed" and "dubbed". It's easy for you gamers to understand but what about people in other specialty? Articles should be written in formal tone, remaining clear and understandable. I could tell "will handle", "subbed" and "dubbed" are not in formal tone.

-While you were removing my edits, you removed the reference too don't you? You have to provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made.

I will not do anything more about this. Let's just leave it to better contributers.

I am not a frequent writer, and I see you are really willing to help contributing to Wikipedia, so I recommend reading this article Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles. See help pages for more. I hope those will help you become a better writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red romanov (talk • contribs) 05:56, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the problem I have with that. Your English wasn't correct either. If you seriously went back and saw what you wrote, you would understand what I'm talking about. I'm already a great writer, and just to let you know, the Japanese release section, I didn't write. That was someone else, I just fixed a couple of things in it. "Subbed" and "Dubbed" are actual English words, believe it or not. I even found them on various dictionary sites. I know you mean no offense, but please don't tell others to learn proper English when you, yourself, don't know it. Also, the Japanese release SHOULD be there because it comes out on different days than the Spanish, French, German, etc. ones. On top of that, it's being distributed by a whole other distributor, which belongs in the main section of the article. It's not a special release of any sort. It's just a DIFFERENT release from the others. It's the same game but with just tweaks to fit the style of the country it is in. That doesn't classify as a special release. A special release would be, for example, the Hardened Edition, which belongs in the "Retail Versions" section of the article. Thank you. Saru786 (talk) 12:27, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

VGChartz

Hello, Saru786. I would like to remind you not to add sales figures from VGChartz website, like you did to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It's not a reliable source to begin with - read this on why it is. Thanks -- Hounder4 (Talk) (Contribs) 19:14, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for informing me of this. Saru786 (talk) 12:44, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.

Modern Warfare 3

Why did you remove my text explaining trolling Battlefield 3 fans? Jamcad01 (talk) 06:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because, that isn't constructive. You have no proof of any sort what type of people those are that write those reviews. Personally, I agree with you, but it's not my call. This is an encyclopedia, and should be treated as such. Bias views don't work here. Thank you. Saru786 (talk) 18:35, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Read the source I put. It explains in the article. Jamcad01 (talk) 06:02, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I hate to break it to you, but just because you put an article as an ref, doesn't automatically make your statement true. The article itself needs some type of proof of some sort, which it doesn't provide. It only voices an opinion. Unless, you can somehow prove what the article is stating, is true, I recommend you leave it how it is. Thank you. Saru786 (talk) 08:02, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
