User talk:Nuxius

Hi, welcome to the doom wiki. Thanks for your contributions. Template:Doom 64 screenshot was being used to signify in an article that a picture was taken using the doom 64 TC, rather than doom 64 proper. I appreciate that it is not the most appropriate name for that.

I see you've modified the template to indicate copyright on the image pages, and created Template:Doom 64 TC screenshot containing the older content.

I've modified the previous uses of Template:Doom 64 screenshot to now use Template:Doom 64 TC screenshot. Please also use this template when you link to a picture taken using the Doom 64 TC.

Thanks!

Whoops, I totally forgot about the pages with the monsters and stuff, the only ones I changed were the ones for the levels under the Doom 64 section itself.

Thanks for catching that (and changing it).

Hi, just to draw your attention to a question I'm asking at Image talk:D64StagingArea1.jpg regarding the source of the pic. It looks to me to be from Doom 64 proper, in which case please adjust the licence description for the Image :) -- Jdowland 22:59, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the screenshot I took a while ago. Originally it was not on that page (I just put it on the page for MAP01 of Doom 64). Looking at the history for that page, it appears user 71.222.57.250 updated it to my image back on the 8th, hence the discrepancy. --Nuxius 08:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

"Platforms Doom has been ported to"
Wait, I'm confused. The discussion on Talk:Platforms Doom has been ported to is about merging that article into Games, so why are you splitting it out into separate articles? Fraggle 13:03, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I did that for several reasons,


 * 1)because the links were already on the games page, and those pages needed content


 * 2)some of the platforms already have their own page, and to me, having some platforms listed on their own page, while some others with more content (ie the X-Box page that was already there vs. the SNES page that I created out of the info on the 'Platforms Doom has been ported to' page) on the main page just seems a bit sloppy.


 * 3)most importantly, as someone in the discussion on Talk:Platforms Doom has been ported to page said "but to go into that amount of detail we could always give each port one article, which I believe was the original intent of all the red links in Games"; which is one of the things I was planning on doing. It was the main reason I did all of that, I'm wanting to add more content to the various ports/platforms pages, and better organize some of the content on some of the other pages there. I definitely won't be doing anything close to the level Ledmeister goes to (if someone wants that, they can go to his page or read one of his various FAQ's posted at different places), but I think there is more info that would fit in the scope of this wiki.


 * However, if you or someone still disagrees with this, then feel free to move it all to one page; won't bother me one bit. Nuxius 19:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * That's okay, I agree with what you've done and I think it makes sense to have separate articles. I was just a bit confused :-) Fraggle 10:46, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I once asked for community opinion on item 3, but no one responded. Therefore, those of us interested in the gameplay articles have to take the next move and "be bold", and see if that gets a reaction.  :>   Which is what you're doing.


 * If I had to guess at the consensus, I would say: put detailed port differences in the individual port articles (e.g. E1M1#Secrets), and give each port's article a summary of the changes but not an exhaustive list (see the original version of the GBA article). This avoids redundancy with Ledmeister's work, as you say, and also if people are using our walkthroughs to play the games, they don't have to look in two places for each level.  IIRC if you look at the history of Platforms Doom has been ported to, only two people have actually contributed content, and the rest of the changes are either copyediting or transferring text to another article.
