message: This is a disambiguation page for articles with the title of "GTA" ("Grand Theft Auto"). This means that only articles with the explicit title of Grand Theft Auto should be here. In the same way Half-life (disambiguation) only includes the franchise and first game, this only needs to include:
* Grand Theft Auto (franchise)
* Grand Theft Auto (video game)
Including the entire franchise is over-excessive and unnecessary as readers can find this list in the franchise article, which is the first thing listed. Lazz_R 12:59, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:University of the West Indies

message: Text was removed related to the ranking of UWI using the Webometrics published data. In the (view) history of the article, contributors are arguing over what is a reliable source. I don't think there is a definitive answer. The Wikipedia article College and university rankings lists Webometric and makes no comments that it is unreliable. Its inclusion suggests that it is a reliable source. Moreover, the Webometrics ranking "is produced by Cybermetrics Lab (CCHS), a unit of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the main public research body in Spain. That surely is a reliable source.

message: I've just removed a large amount of unattributed material that had had been copied verbatim from an article by Charles H. Pullen in Magill's Masterplots II, published in 1987 (http://books.google.ca/books?id=Nqk3AAAAMAAJ).  A Google Books search of sentences in the text led to the book. However, because Google Books only provides snippet view, you can't find the material by searching at the book's page itself. I was interested enough to obtain through my library a copy of the article from Masterworks, in order to verify. The material had been added in three big chunks by an IP contributor in June 2010.

I recall reading somewhere that Margaret Lindsay was rumoured to be the mother, in the late 1930's, of a famous actress (still alive) by an equally famous father (no longer alive) - this isn't mentioned in the article and I can't find reference to it elsewhere. Without sources I dont want to put it in - but if anyone does have a source please point me in the direction of it. ii. Partially contrary to the above, Margaret Lindsay was pretty open about being bisexual if not lesbian - again, this isnt mentioned in the article. Anyone got a reliable source for that?

Talk:Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest

message: ...  is now hold by Cyprus, I think. Hogne 15 May 2017 (UTC)
: it holds to no country now. The record was 53 years. I think you are trying to say which country is next that has yet to gain their first win - which would be Malta who first participated in 1971; followed by Cyprus (1981), and Iceland (1986). But Portugal holds the record (1964). Wes Wolf Talk  14:37, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: In terms of "most appearances without a win by a country yet to win", the answer is Cyprus rather than Malta. Malta debuted 10 years earlier than Cyprus, true, but Cyprus has 4 more appearances than Malta for the same (lack of) success, as Malta took more time away from Eurovision than Cyprus has. Malta and Iceland - by virtue of various interruptions to participation/relegation during the 90s - are both on 30 appearances for no wins. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:21, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

text: Good point. I'll admit that while I knew enough of ESC history in 2006 to know that Finland had been a by-word for futility, I didn't know enough then to realise that the counting wasn't done in the most obvious way! Is there an official EBU statement to the effect that Malta, Cyprus or someone else is now the holder of the unwanted honour? I've had a quick look, but am yet to find anything. There's also the possibility that the new "streak without a win" could apply to France, somewhat bizarrely, as it's 40 years this year since their last win in 1977.

Talk:RPM Racing

message: This article claims that the SNES' 'High Resolution Graphics Mode', which is actually a term that applies to SNES video modes 5 and 6, sacrifices colour.
Compared to mode 1, the most commonly used mode in SNES games, this is not really the case, as the 4BPP (15 colours per tile) layer of mode 5 and mode 6 has the same colour limit per tile and is able to use the same amount of palettes as each 4BPP layer of mode 1, and the 2BPP (3 colours per tile) layer of mode 5 also has the same colour limit per tile and is able to use the same amount of palettes as the 2BPP layer of mode 1.
Note that I said 'the 4BPP layer'. Modes 5 and 6 have less layers than mode 1. Mode 5 has only 2 layers, one 4BPP and one 2BPP. Mode 6 has only 1 layer, and it's 4BPP, though it's also able to separately scroll each column of tiles in intervals of 16x1.
https://problemkaputt.de/fullsnes.htm#snesppubgcontrol
The only colour limitation that applies to modes 5 and 6 that I can think of is the lack of colour maths(meaning no automatically translucent effects), but that's it.
So what modes 5 and 6 truly sacrifice are layers, not really colours themselves.

*The bullet points in sections "Characters", "Items", and "Scoring" do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for video game articles (WP:VGSCOPE).
*The formatting of the "Gameplay" section could use some readjustment to clean up the display 
*The relevance of the "Xonox Development" needs to be revisited as the section lacks strong connection to the rest of the article.

message: After comparing this article to the Chuck Norris Superkicks article mentioned, I have realized there are a few sections that almost explicitly ignore wikipedia's guidelines for video game articles (WP:VGSCOPE).

message: Hello wikipedians, 
I will be deleting the section of Xonox development. While the information might be suiting for a different article, it is not exactly the case for this one.

thread_title:  Ultra Seven. 

message: It's not mentioned in the article from what I can see but I think it may be a fairly large point that the Japanese version of this game has many differences compared to the US version of this game.  Some notable differences are the Intro, the boss explosions, the maps,  the bosses themselves (The bosses listed appear to be for the US version. Notice: the screenshot is for the JP version and the boss pictured is not in the list),  the layout of the special attacks Ultraman has,  One of the enemies doesn't die in the JP version and instead talks to you about not fighting as fellow aliens,  and at the end of the JP version is a targeting mini-game where if you don't hit the boss with a projectile you lose. I actually can't find any source online for this besides some gameplay footage on youtube but in the first episode of the fourth season of GameCenterCX the game that is played is this Ultraman game (though it's the SFC version) and it immediately stood out to me that it was vastly different than the game I own. -Reabs 24.17.76.184 (talk) 09:34, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Rival Turf!

message: I reverted the article again. The text that was there primarily consisted of ridiculous, unsourced statements such as "Rival Turf utilizes state-of-the-art Blaze Processing, which allows for life-like graphics to be rendered in a near three-dimensional environment" and an absurd controversy section that read, in part "Rival Turf is generally considered to be one of the most controversial games to be released for the Super Nintendo. The thematic material is thought, by some, to be of an extreme adult nature, and therefore the game is simply not suitable for the younger gamers at which it is aimed".
