User talk:Rhain

I've been doing some research into Doctor Who monsters recently, and have been improving them one by one. I'd like your input on the Voord. As of now, I feel every entry we have at present meets the notability guidelines in some way shape or form, and I feel strongly that Voord is really the only entry that's very debateable notability-wise right now. The bulk of its content is different authors describing the Voord's physical appearance with no additional commentary, or summarizing their spin-off appearances. Their actual Reception is very brief and very light, and beyond what's in the article, I've only found one SIGCOV source, Once Upon a Time Lord: The Myths and Stories of Doctor Who: [1], which is very solid, but compared to what are basically TRIVIALMENTIONS in the other sources, I'm not sure there's enough to hold up an article here.

Given your familiarity with the First Doctor's era and its associated topics, I figured I'd ask for your input before I took any action in regard to the Voord's article. If you would be willing, would you please let me know your thoughts on how this article should be handled going forward? I'd greatly appreciate your input in how to tackle this.

@Pokelego999: Good to hear from you. It's been a while since I looked into The Keys of Marinus, so I imagine you're likely more knowledgeable about the topic at this point. You're right that most of the commentary seems fairly trivial and focused on the Voord's physical appearance; it's still interesting, but not particularly significant. If you think merging is the right call, that seems logical to me; anything salvageable can be merged with the list and/or the serial. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:44, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhain thank you for the input! I feel like a merge is likely for the best; I'll see what content is more relevant to one article or the other before doing any merging, but I'll try to get it done soon.

If it's not too much, could I ask for your input on Mechonoid? I discussed this with the original creator and they seem confident on its notability, and unlike the Voord, the article does actually have some actual commentary on the real-world impact of the Mechonoids. My main gripe is it seems almost to be entirely within the scope of the The Chase. I was originally going to discuss this only with the creator, but I feel it'd be wise to get an outside perspective before I proceed with anything, since I feel me and them are likely going to disagree on how to handle the article. If you feel it's fine enough standalone, I'll likely leave it as is, but I'm admittedly not too sure myself right now, so I wanted to discuss this before I made up my mind on it. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 04:11, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can see both perspectives, but I think I agree with you; most of the content at Mechonoid is simply about their appearance in The Chase, followed by a mostly-unsourced proseline-style list of their subsequent appearance. It could certainly use some work, if not a merge, but I'll leave that to you and trust that you'll approach the project or other appropriate venues for discussion when doing so. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:49, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I plan to use the proper channels in regards to these two articles. Thank you so much for your input, as it's helped me a lot with figuring out how to handle these two articles. Happy editing! Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 22:40, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, I've no doubt you know what you're doing, but I imagine you'll face more opposition with Mechonoid than Voord so wanted to make sure. Always happy to help! Keep up the good work. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:45, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Rhain. Just wanted to introduce myself following my post on the Bella Ramsey talk page. I don't have any connection to Bella but I was brought up in the same area as them (I now live in SW London). I'd be happy to provide help and input as needed. Just to provide a further example of what I can help with, I've drafted the below for a TV series that isn't included in the career section. Just let me know what would work best. Thanks!

In 2023, Ramsey portrayed Kelsey Morgan, a pregnant heroin addict, in the second series of Jimmy McGovern’s acclaimed prison drama Time. Their performance was widely praised by critics and audiences alike, culminating in Ramsey winning the Royal Television Society Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2024.[1] [2]

@Crp74: Thanks for reaching out—I've added some information. I mostly monitor Ramsey's article, rather than actively work on it, but happy to help wherever possible. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 09:57, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's great. Thanks @Rhain. I'm new to all this so is the best way to suggest text in the article talk page and then you'll add (or not!) as you see fit? Or is there a better approach (i.e. is there someone else more actively working on the page that I should reach out to?). Sorry for all the questions! Crp74 (talk) 13:23, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologise. The best place is probably the article's talk page, as you've done; someone may see it and address it eventually. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 21:27, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:09, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Rhain. I've worked on the opening two sections of Bella's wiki page and I thought it might be best to set out the changes in my sandbox User:Crp74/sandbox - Wikipedia with an explanation of the proposed changes and corrections. I thought this might be easiest for you to simply copy what you would like across rather than pasting lots of text in the main talk page. Let me know if this works for you. Crp74 (talk) 15:13, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Crp74: Thanks for taking this approach! I've implemented some of your changes, but avoided some unnecessary references and the more promotional-sounding language. Let me know if you have any concerns. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:00, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhain: Thanks for making the changes so quickly! I'm planning to work on the career section this weekend and will let you know when I've finished that. Just one potential grammar typo in the text you added. Should it be: "At age 10, Ramsey joined the Television Workshop in Nottingham, which provided training and support for early auditions, including for Game of Thrones." (changes in bold). Crp74 (talk) 08:38, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhain: I hope things are well with you. I had more time this weekend than I was expecting. So I've set out some suggested changes in User:Crp74/sandbox for both sections with some questions for you to consider when you have time. Let me know what you think! Crp74 (talk) 09:34, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the message; hope you're doing well! I've incorporated some of the suggestions. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:07, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would appreciate it if you could check out Braxe + Falcon, an article I'm considering for GAN. Besides that, I notice you've got two episodes of this past season of TLoU up at GAN yourself—I will try my best to watch for these to start their reviews and hope to help you tackle concerns where I can. Hope you've been doing well, for all that you do in that particular subject area truly is a singular spectacle unmatched by hardly any other editor. Happy editing—BarntToust 03:25, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the kind words! Hope you're doing well. Looks like that article is in great shape—shouldn't take much to earn that green plus. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:20, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for your copyedits to the article, glad to hear you think it's looking swell. I look forward to the next GARC cycle! BarntToust 23:27, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Rhain. Hope things are well with you. I've updated these sections in my sandbox User:Crp74/sandbox - Wikipedia with explanations at the top of each section for you to look at and incorporate when you have a moment. Thanks! Crp74 (talk) 10:06, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Crp74—I've implemented most of those suggestions, though I've skipped over most of the awards as I prefer for individual awards to have their own Wikipedia article to demonstrate notability per MOS:FILMACCOLADES. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:24, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Rhain! On the awards, the ones that I think may still need changing for you to consider, including from my reading of MOS:FILMACCOLADES are: to remove the 2018 award for children's animation shared with Luke Pearson et al. as Ramsey did not receive this award; add in the film critics association awards for Catherine Called Birdy as the guidance mentions film critics circles specifically (or at least the 2023 London Film Critics' Circle awards as it has a Wiki page - sorry I didn't provide this before. As an aside I notice critics association awards are included for other actors whether or not they have a Wiki page (which requires someone to produce one whether or not they are notable!) e.g. List of awards and nominations received by Jennifer Lawrence - Wikipedia; add in the Royal Television Society Award for Time (as it is mentioned in the body of the introduction and career section - again sorry for not adding a link to a Wiki page); and add in the 2025 Astra TV Awards and Dorian TV Awards (these have wiki pages and also both awards are included earlier for 2023). Hope that helps, and thanks for your consideration. Crp74 (talk) 08:06, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the specific suggestions! I've implemented most; the Astra TV Awards were already included, and it appears I was beaten to the Dorian Awards. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 06:00, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see the confusion. Would "except Toreno" be better? I thought Toreno had his life saved. Good day—RetroCosmos ^talk 21:42, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it could be clearer (it was a fairly recent change) and would be fine to see it rephrased. IIRC, CJ doesn't explicitly save Toreno; he just survives. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:09, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Apologies, but I don't know why you seem to believe that Lost Legacy's first setting is Sri Lanka.

I have played Lost Legacy several times. Not only that, I am Sri Lankan, and believe me, Sri Lankans would have known if it was set in their country. The city bears no resemblance to any in Sri Lanka. Chloe Frazier, talks to a shop girl whose dad is in the Indian Army, sneaks onto an Indian army truck, and remarks that the Indian Army is really not kidding around when it bombs the city. Chloe and Nadine escape Asav by jumping into a river and a little while later find themselves in the Western Ghats. The final mission has the characters attempt to stop a train laden with a bomb from reaching the first city. There is no train link, and if there was, it would a) take a long time to reach Sri Lanka from the Western Ghats b) would have to cross a sea.

There was Indian military presence in Sri Lanka in 1987-90. The Sri Lankan Civil War, between separatist rebels and the SL Gov ended in 2009, without any Indian intervention. It makes no sense to suggest the Indians are bombing a Sri Lankan city in the time the game is set.

I've tried to find any indication whatsoever about devs mentioning Sri Lanka and I've found nothing. I will be happy to eat crow if you find a credible source that suggests otherwise. 112.134.221.101 (talk) 09:18, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I don't "believe" anything; I was mostly following what was written and what I could find. Real-life connections are interesting but not particularly relevant, as the story is fictional. A quick Google search shows that the location was considered Sri Lanka by several different members of the art team (and India by at least one). I'm mostly apathetic, but I've removed the location mention as it's not particularly relevant there anyway. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 09:43, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Can't seem to reply. I appreciate that you removed the location since it is disputed. It's entirely possible that on starting the arts team were told this was the location but that was subsequently changed. It is incongruent with the dialogue and plot in the scenes. BUT as there is no actual line from a story dev saying this was actually where it is, removing the location is a fair compromise.

IN response to your FWIW, apologies, perhaps I should have said "stated" instead of "believed"? One can believe or think something based on evidence, e.g. "I was told this, so I think" "based on the evidence I believe..." are perfectly valid statements. I merely wanted to ask what the reasons were behind your assertion. When people say "I don't *believe* anything I..." I don't *think* anything I..." it's such a strange and pedantic semantic statement that makes disputing/disagreeing with someone almost impossible.

112.134.221.101 (talk) 09:18, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I suspect they were trying to imitate Sri Lanka for the original trailer; perhaps, if your assertion is correct, they changed course later. My "FWIW" was just clarifying that I don't have particularly strong feelings or beliefs either way. Pedantic or not, it evidently does not make disputing or disagreeing impossible—if anything, it makes it easier. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:11, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is the first sentence in the "albums" section: "The soundtrack for The Last of Us comprises songs from the game, composed and produced by Gustavo Santaolalla." Music of The Last of Us#Albums. J04n(talk page) 21:56, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@J04n: That's correct, but Gustavo Santaolalla is not Ludwig Göransson. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 21:57, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhain, big "duh" on my part. Thanks for catching, I started looking for one thing and transitioned to another without thinking.J04n(talk page) 22:01, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happens to the best of us—no worries! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:03, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting the way references are handled in articles like GTA 6. Do you know any script that organizes them this way for "normal" articles? I imagine it wouldn't be hard to write (but I personally lack the skills). Yacàwotçã (talk) 05:27, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List-defined references are actually fairly easy once you get the hang of it! There's some more guidance at WP:LDRHOW, including details on converting to the list-defined format; apparently WP:REFSEG is a useful script for conversion, though I've not used it personally. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 05:33, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article Braxe + Falcon is undergoing GAR, and one thing of concern is the infobox images, specifically merging them together into one image to be thumbnail-friendly. The software I am using to try and image edit is not getting along with the very low quality of image 2 compared to the ~ 720p resolution of image 1. Hate to ask, but can you take a crack at merging those images together, please? Many thanks. Hope you've been doing well with GARs for TLoU season 2's episode articles. BarntToust 01:43, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Always happy to help! Hopefully this does the job; let me know if you'd like any adjustments. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 07:17, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Rhain! That is awesome. Have a good one. BarntToust 14:51, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help to fix the wikicode of total number of killed militants in this template. Pachu Kannan (talk) 19:55, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch—I thought something looked different but should have paid closer attention after my edit. I've fixed it. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 20:48, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching my edits on WP:VG/RS—I wasn't aware that we weren't supposed to add reliable sources from non-English Wikipedias without discussion. Do you think I should create a single discussion in the talk page that includes all of the Russian sources deemed reliable on Russian Wiki, all of the sources deemed reliable on Chinese Wiki, etc.? Or should a single discussion be limited to a single website? On that note, would you mind giving your thoughts on the three discussions I had already opened as well? Thanks for your help! –GM 02:13, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, you probably don't need a huge discussion before adding the sources to the page; just leave them open long enough to allow others to respond first. I'm sure it couldn't hurt to combine several sources into single discussions, especially if you continue to provide great analyses—here's an example from 2023 that led to many of the Chinese-language sources being added. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 02:23, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thank you! That link is very helpful! –GM 02:32, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
