Hey, Tarkus. I remembered your feedback from a few days back about moving Player culture in the article. I went to go check what specifically your feedback said so I could implement it, then, when I checked, saw that you'd already done it. Really demonstrates how I'm tunnel visioning on the sections themselves and not looking at where they are, heh. Thanks Tarkus! — ImaginesTigers (talk) 12:03, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The linking of articles like you proposed on List of fictional bisexual characters and total removal of all hatnotes is not going to help the readers who "could potentially arrive at this article when looking for another page" that you are talking about. So, I reduced the number of notes to only four articles, which I would say is fine and acceptable. I would hope you don't reject that change, because I would argue that the hatnotes, in their current and reduced form, are useful. --Historyday01 (talk) 14:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tarkus! I'm conducting a feature for the video games newsletter similar to that of a survey. I'm going to ask users their opinions on a specific matter and highlight unique and common answers to determine consensus on a subject. Your input would be very valuable, alongside others, to help answer this question.
The question is: How do you determine what makes a video game character notable enough for their own page? Do you follow pre-existing guidelines or have your own opinions on the matter?

Hey there! I know you're busy and have interest on Cotton but since i've tackled pretty much every entry now and i'm busy with other activities here on Wikipedia, i'll leave Panorama Cotton's article alone so you can improve it better than i could...

On 7 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Bachelor and race, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the American reality TV series The Bachelor took 18 years and 25 seasons to star its first black man? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Bachelor and race. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Bachelor and race), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey there Tarkus! Sorry if I'm bothering you right now but is there any way I can revert the redirect Namcokid did to the list of cancelled games for the Virtual Boy (https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/?lang=en&title=List_of_Virtual_Boy_games&diff=995572785&oldid=991655863). I made the list for it but he came along and redirect it to the main Virtual Boy game list without starting a discussion to delete it or redirect it, only for then having it completely wiped out. For the record, I made that list before I got a warning from Izno telling me to stop making these kinds of cancelled game lists or it would lead me being banned from this topic and others of WP:VG, which pretty much killed my interest in making said lists (https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/en/User_talk:KGRAMR#Lists_of_cancelled_games)...

I'm conducting another survey for the Wikiproject Video games Newsletter. If you could leave your thoughts on the matter it would be greatly appreciated. Every response will be compiled into a MOS-Esque answer that balances the thoughts of our top contributors. You're one of them! The question is as follows:
What would you consider the requirements of making a video game series article? What about franchise articles?
If you would like to respond, please ping me here and write your reply. I'll handle the rest. Thanks in advance, Panini!🥪 14:57, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you upload the Strive renders of the Guilty Gear characters with articles (Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, Millia Rage, Faust, and I-No)? Because if I uploaded them, they'll be marked as blatant copyright infringements. HassanTNTA (talk) 22:49, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for quality articles such as Knuckles' Chaotix, Wildflower (The Avalanches album), Gun Beat and Yuuyami Doori Tankentai, for updating related articles, for "If you need help on little things here and there, I will always lend a helping hand", for missing SlimVirgin, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Your closure of the deletion discussion as "Withdrawn" was out-of-process as other editors had already expressed an opinion to delete (WP:NACINV). I've reopened and relisted the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 July 16#Template:Metal Gear chronology. You may strike your nomination, but you may not close the discussion. Thanks, Cabayi (talk) 13:53, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for the heads up about edit. i tried to search reason for the creation of template. if you do happen to have data about the template:authority control (arts) origins or discussion. please let me know. -Agyaanapan (talk) 15:22, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Good morning (think other time of the day if applicable) Tarkus AB! I believe I left some message on your TP before, but even so, let me reintroduce myself: I'm an editor working on and off style around the WP:VG project on underdeveloped or underpolished articles, and as such I like to do a good amount of source research especially when it comes to Japanese games. Not long ago I couldn't help but notice that for the article on Thunder Force IV, you worked in an interesting tidbit citing the 2017 limited-edition book of interviews titled PlayStation Anthology. Seeing as a certain portion of the book aligns with a subject of I'd like to work on – namely via an interview with a Rayman 2 designer, I wonder if you would be willing to share a scan the relevant piece from the book. Otherwise, I apologize in case my inquiry is misdirected. Still, many thanks in advance. Electroguv (talk) 11:50, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I finally decided to nominate Lumines: Puzzle Fusion for featured. I wanted to ask you if you wanted to take a look and see what I can improve on it. I asked you for the sole fact that you have experience in creating featured articles.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 19:12, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Good morning (or other time of the day if applicable), Tarkus! My message has to do with the request that I had pinged you about back in 2018, asking to scan some passages from Sega Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works to help with improving the source coverage of the Wiki entry for the first Streets of Rage. Back then, the relevant pages were shared by you via Imgur which unfortunately was not much of a long-term storage avenue as the images' retention period expired soon enough that I'd not been able to grab them in time, to my great shame. While I can see from the WP:VG reference library that you had passed the book on to a now-retired user, I've still got to ask, out of pure curiosity: could there still be a slim chance, provided that you still have those scans somewhere, that you might consider getting hold of leftover images and providing access once more? Normally I'd not make a fuss over such a particular nuisance, yet even with the Wayback Machine I was only able to retrieve the first scanned image, while the others sadly did not make the cut, so I hold some hope that your participation will help bring matters to a head with this case. Thanks in advance. Electroguv (talk) 06:13, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit video game) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.

The article Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit video game) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed.

Hello there Tarkus! I hope you're doing well. I know you're busy, both here in Wikipedia and IRL, but i was wondering if you could help me with this: I'm making a draft for the last remaining Virtual Boy game without an article on the site (Virtual Bowling) but i don't know Japanese. Specifically, all that i want if could help me is a brief summary of this review by Famitsu so i can do the rest of the game's reception section by myself: https://web.archive.org/web/20190530035326/https://www.planetvb.com/modules/articles/index.php?s020160004&lang=english Roberth Martinez (talk) 17:16, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Tarkus! How're you doing this week? Sorry for bothering you once again, but i started a draft for (AFAIK) the only Macross title to be released stateside: the 1992 arcade game by Banpresto. Gamest actually reviewed the title in one of their issues and all that i want is a summary of what the five authors thought about it: https://archive.org/stream/gamest0080#page/n53/mode/1up The draft's reception section done but it would be cool to have this one on the draft's prose.
