message: I found a few resources that say it's called Valdelobos, but I I'm not certain where exactly it's comes from. So is it unnamed or called so but really rarely? BrandtM113 (talk) 13:18, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The village was unnamed in the original RE4. A screenshot of the map included with the Collectors Edition remake refers to the area as "Valdelobos" or roughly valley of the wolves in English. It's not 100% official... yet. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  20:43, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

message: I was wondering what other editors thought of the  that reintroduced The Happy Warrior blog and Bounding Into Comics as references in the ports section.
I was responsible for removing those references initially, and I did so because I believe the former violates Wikipedia's rules on user-generated content because it's a substack blog, and the latter violates Wikipedia's rules on bias. More specifically, Bounding into Comics frequently headlines articles with value-laden language, and there's a relatively consistent political slant across their site.
I understand that using a website with a bias/angle isn't inherently grounds for removing a source, but it feels as though the source adds unnecessary weight to information that's already cited by more mainstream outlets, especially when the content itself (censorship in this case) can become politicized and there's no in-text attribution to the source (something like, "the left/right leaning source ___ said ___ of the censorship in Resident Evil 4").
I'm relatively new to editing Wikipedia, so I'm eager to hear other viewpoints on this. Thanks!

replies: text: Happy Warrior Blog definitely appears to be a self-published source and fails WP:SPS. There is an old discussion on the Reliable Source noticeboard about Bounding in Comics, but no official consensus was reached. My suggestion would be to remove the Happy Warrior Blog source, but keep the Bounding in Comics sources unless someone has a strong reason why it fails WP:RS. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  22:43, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Not moved. WP:SNOW The nominator's understanding of precedence and when to disambiguate is flawed. The Sonic game articles are titled so as not to confuse with the franchise page. The 2005 game is clearly the primary topic, with a hatnote for the remake being appropriate.

replies: text: But for Sonic, the base article is Sonic the Hedgehog, so this is not exactly the same situation. Resident Evil 4 seems to be the primary topic for this name, so I oppose this move unless there is evidence there is a need to turn Resident Evil 4 into a dab page. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:21, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Should I put a link to Resident Evil 5 as a successor to Resident Evil 4. I know that their stories were not related but the gameplay mechanics, enemies, and bosses look so similar to the ones they used in RE4. Even the Resident Evil 5 wiki page considered Resident Evil 4 as their predecessor. DasKlose (talk) 03:41, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think sources describe RE5 as a successor to RE4. The games are unrelated. TarkusABtalk/contrib 06:19, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

message: That line in the legacy section about RE4 inspiring an era of remasters, and specifically remasters of those games, is a generous reading of that article. The article says RE4 was "An early example of the remastering craze" and "ahead of zombie-crawling pack". Saying it "inspired" those other developers feels wrong to me. Maybe just say it was an early example of HD remastering before they became more prevalent? Or just remove the line altogether? Mika1h (talk) 17:57, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch. I'd agree it should be rephrased to specify it was an early example of HD remastering rather than saying it inspired HD-remasters of GTA5, Tomb Raider, and Grim Fandango. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  18:22, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
