Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Final Fantasy/Archive/9

message: Hi, I'm a member of the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing using these criteria, and we are looking for A-class, B-class, and Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Can you recommend any suitable articles? Please post your suggestions here. Thanks a lot! Gflores Talk 17:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a good one; I just added it to the good articles list. Deckiller 23:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Final Fantasy VI was almost featured and List of Final Fantasy titles is a featured list. IMO, these are our best two articles. Final Fantasy is also in pretty good shape. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 23:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the replies. I've added them here... Keep the suggestions coming! :) Gflores Talk 23:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Does this project not cover lists? --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 12:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I had initially thought no, but it turns out, we do cover lists. Feel free to add them or if you're too busy, I'll add them later today. Thanks. Gflores Talk 19:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Articles for the Wikipedia 1.0 project 

message: A number of new articles have been added recently to the 'project space'. Please could we ensure the project Index is kept up to date! >Gamemaker 12:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, I'll crawl Wikipedia soon and see to about updating that. — CuaHL 17:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Newly added articles

message: Hi there. Just a quick question. Do you think the Project is benefitting from the peer review? I mean, no one uses it, and while I've been thinking about the project, I was thinking maybe we could change it into a collaboration of the fortnight/month. Much like what CVG have going on here (gaming collaboration) and here (improvement drive). Maybe if I changed the review into something similar, we could all help each other better? Give me your feedback please. Hope you're all well :D — CuaHL 17:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think our Review section gets much 'advertising' - its possible that not all contributors know about it. Perhaps a few more notices/links to it dotted around the project pages might help (the articles listed 'for improvement' on the ToDo page could perhaps be added to Review by default?). Incidentally it would probably make sense to havea  means to archive some of the older discussion on the Review page (like the Spira debate) once its concluded; I did some experimental tidy-up over there a while back but that feature's still lacking. >Gamemaker 23:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you not think we'd benefit from focusing on one article every 2 weeks? — CuaHL 23:17, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I haven't participated in an 'article drive' so I'm not the best one to comment. I'd say go for it and see how it goes. One possible downside, given the current lull in project activity, might be that the need to debate issues with other editors would require a higher level of participation than people can afford right now. Articles might become the province of whomever can spare the most time rather than whomever could provide the best input. >Gamemaker 13:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  WPFF peer review 

message: A user has added a Final Fantasy XIII article. I think this is premature and I have sent it to AfD. Opinions welcome. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 20:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree - the XII article was enough of a crystal ball last time I looked (I'm not looking anymore as I don't want Spoilers). >Gamemaker 23:10, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I should have said, opinions welcome on the AfD page. ;) --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 23:11, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Final Fantasy XIII article 

message: For those who aren't aware, there's a Review in progress on these articles, and its reached the point where input from other users would be of use. Please take a looksee, or another one, if you already have, and see if there's anything you can add - cheers! >Gamemaker 23:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Review of the Character Class articles

message: So long as Gamemaker's bringing up one thing from the "To do" list, I'll bring up another. It was proposed -- apparently some time ago -- that Nooj, Gippal and Shuyin's pages be merged into the List of Final Fantasy X-2 characters page.
Anyone have an opinion on these things? As I've noted on the talk page for the X-2 characters list, I don't really think any of these three have the notability to warrant their own page, especially not Gippal and Nooj. Shuyin's the only one who really might warrant his own page.
Gippal's info could easily be summarized and incorporated into the list page without losing anything relevant, and Nooj's could be shortened easily, as well, despite how big it looks (half of its fancruft that we could chop off and not miss).
The only one I'm hesitant to think about getting rid of is Shuyin's page. There's more to say about him than any of the other new characters in X-2, and there is some good information on his page. That said, so much of his information directly relates to the rest of the cast of X-2 and its main events that all the info can easily be maintained on the character list and the main X-2 page amongst the respective characters and the story summary. That said, if his page were merged, it should be first copied to the FF wiki.
If anyone's got anything to add, please do so on the character list talk page. And now, with all that said, I'll head over to the Job Class pages to see if I can help out any there.
P.S. Don't worry, Cuahl; I'm in no hurry with this particular project. Ryu Kaze 16:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree on the idea of a merge - I feel they can all be thrown into one article, and that it would actually be beneficial if they were. — CuaHL 22:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Doesn't look like anyone's out to object :) — CuaHL 21:41, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So it would seem. I've carried out the execution. Ryu Kaze 01:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: FFX-2 Characters

message: If anyone's interested, can someone please proof List of Final Fantasy XI characters? I've given it a major overhaul, rewriting most paragraphs, tagging sections as stubs, creating a new TOC, alphabetising the list.. etc. If someone could expand the stubs or read through and add something to the quality of the article, that would be great. I'll also throw this on the WPFF Todo. — CuaHL 22:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[List of Final Fantasy XI characters]] 

message: When was Ultimecia nominated to be un-merged from List of Final Fantasy VIII characters? Or was it not? If not, some folks -- like Seancdaug -- will know this is probably a bad thing. If there was never a formal nomination, I recommend an immediate redirect. Ryu Kaze 15:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. This unmerge was performed without concensous. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 16:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agree. There's also some interesting information that I think could be worthy of preserving on the List, such as the several paragraphs about Ultimecia's motivations, which I never fully understood until now! Flooch 23:57, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Re-merged, although it was very well written and informative so the majority of the text was kept. Kudos to Ceptizzy and 69.247.20.10. Flooch 00:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
