Talk:Razer (robot)

message: : Moved as uncontroversial capitalisation fix by another editor. Station1 (talk) 07:43, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have requested a speedy move as it's pretty uncontroversial; forgive me not seeing before that this was the done thing. I certainly don't think putting this article in line with the rest of Wikipedia is "pointless". -- CountdownCrispy talk contributions 20:01, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Its to small to warrent this whole section and it is better discussed where more people will care and that is at the Village pump.--Lucy-marie (talk) 20:08, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't disagree more. What is the purpose of an article talk page other than to talk about an article? To quote WP:TPG, "The purpose of a Wikipedia talk page... is to provide space for editors to discuss changes to its associated article or project page." No need to consult the pump - yet! -- CountdownCrispy talk contributions 20:14, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The purpose of the talk page is to discuss the content of the article and not semantics over that standardisation of Wikipedia policy and the standardised implementation of Wikipedia policy. This is not content which relates to the article directly it is not even proposing changing the article name. It is only proposing that Wikipedia policy is implemented in a standardised interpretation. Discussions on Wikipedia policy and its implementation do not belong on article talk pages.--Lucy-marie (talk) 20:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we're talking cross-purposes here. I had no idea I was being controversial! At any rate, the alteration has been made. -- CountdownCrispy talk contributions 08:02, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 

message: I've just removed the supposedly fair use image of Razer from the article. Firstly, its fair use rationale is rather flawed - if needs be I will improve it in due course. However, I am going to contact Ian Lewis of Team Razer and politely ask if he has an image we could use under CC-BY-SA or a similar free licence. -- CountdownCrispy talk contributions 18:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images 

message: As you might well have spotted at the top of this talk page, The C of E has nominated this article for the title of 'Good article'. It's something I know we were keen to achieve, so fingers crossed it goes well. I thought I should explain where I am with the article, and indeed my reasons for not previously nominating it myself:
*I now have quite a bit of work to do IRL—my degree resumes in precisely one week—and this is why I have been less active on Wikipedia in the last two or three days. (That, and this article needs a lot less work than when I started! I would still like to work on other Robot Wars articles, time permitting.)
My reasons for not nominating the article stemmed from having two further improvements to perform:
*I have found a Flickr user who has agreed to licence an excellent image of Razer under CC-BY-SA. Whilst the article now has many more images than previously (and, indeed, under preferable licences and/or with full fair use rationales), I felt it was a sufficiently encyclopaedic angle of Razer to be worth following up. The delay in uploading it stems from wanting to make sure we have the correct permissions to use the image - i.e., not just from the photographer, but also from the team who own the likeness of Razer.
*The other reason for delaying is due to issues with sources for the retirement section. It appears that the Razer team announced that they would not be appearing in series 7 on the now defunct Robot Wars forum. Therefore, the problems with sourcing this are two-fold: the forums are no longer there and, even if they were (or could be found on an archival website), a forum is not really considered a reliable source. Asking a Razer team member to confirm details of why they retired is strictly forbidden as it constitutes original research.
This said, I am still confident that the article has come on in leaps and bounds and has a good chance of passing. I will of course still follow up these two improvements as and when I can. H1nkles, who conducted the recent peer review on this article, offered some excellent insight and it might well be worth contacting him to ask for any advice he might have now that the article has matured further. Meanwhile, I will be watching (and hopefully contributing) to this process as it kicks off, and have my fingers crossed that this can become a first for Robot Wars articles on Wikipedia.

replies: text: Well now of course the problem is that you now have to wait a rediculous amount of time before someone takes a look at it. Although I don't know you can ask someone who isn't involved to have a look, I know a couple of editors who are quite amicable if we so wish to go down that path and it's not a violation to ask someone else to review rather than waiting for random passover reviewers.

thread_title:  Good article nomination 

message: Well thank's to Nikkimaria's second look over of the fixations from the above improvement list we seem to have a few more issues we can all tackle before a possible FA nom:
*Make sure footnotes come immediately after punctuation, no spaces in between
*Double-check that you've avoided close paraphrasing or plagiarism. That's been an important point of review at FAC recently
*Fair-use images are also a common problem - you may wish to consider removing one or two, and check that the rest have strong FURs and complete source information
:In my opinion, You need the images currently on there because it shows the developments of Razer through the years but the source info should be checked before we strike this. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 10:02, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I've had a look at all of them and they all seem OK to me, but if anyone better versed in the copyright thinks otherwise go ahead and mention it. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 12:51, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improvement Wish List. Level 2 

message: I notice that one of the changes to this page since I was last on Wikipedia some months ago is the alteration of the aforementioned section header to instead read "Southern Annihilator – Series 4". I think the purpose of the en dash in the middle is being misunderstood: it means the section covers everything from the Southern Annihilator through to Series 5 chronologically, in the same way that a CV might list the time spent in a given job as "January 2004 – June 2007". It doesn't mean "part of" as in "the Southern Annihilator was part of Series 4" (which it wasn't reeeeally anyway; it just made financial and logistical sense to film it during that recording block). I hope this avoids any confusion. :-) -- CountdownCrispy 13:18, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
