I like what he does to some degree.  he's a good conduit between us and the big whigs at microsoft.  I wish he would have all news related stuff at the beginning of his podcast because sometimes i really hate digging through the whole show to find if he has anything to say about issues in the community. 

I think too often with major issues like the DRM, red-ring of death failure rate, and the availabity of consoles at the beginning, he seems to dismiss big issues like these or ignore them altogether until they bubble up and become to big to ignore.  Plus he started his show with show number 100, which seems like he wants to make it seem like he's been doing it longer than he really has.  He even refers to his shows sometimes as the 250th show, when the number is 250 according to him, but it's only the 150th show. 

So I think he is better than not having someone like him, but he doesn't seem like a complete propaganda arm like the sony counterpart.  but you do have to keep in mind that he's not 100% objective in some cases, so you have to keep that in mind.  most of the time he's pretty good and accurate, but in some cases he spins some of the discussion.

I'm starting to get the hang of wiki editing.  I'm still learning, but I like editing and contributing to something.  At least I like to think that.  Sometimes I think I spend more time editing wikis and visiting gaming news sites than actually playing video games.

I still can't see a way to use pictures from the site from that page or some others.  I have seen it on a few.  I was going to look for some on the site for the page on world maps.

did you correct them?  I'll look at it. 

I was mainly just making the observation that the article has had a lot of traffic and editing, and there were more than a few instances of just opinion.  The blurb said the features were interesting, but I mean that's subjective, so I removed it.  I changed some opinions to say "the fanbase liked x y or z" rather than a specific person's like of something, because the fans have been an important part of this game, obviously with the amount of detail on this page and how much it's hyped.

Something said, it will be the greatest game of street fighter or something based on what we appear to know.... i removed that since that is what reviews are for and the game isn't out yet.  Plus I've been watching gaming sites for long enough to be very skeptical from any screenshots and trailers, games always look better before they come out and most negative aspects are never seen before release, because the devs want to hype the game.

I tried to change what I saw, so I don't know if there's any still there, but it seemed like there were several instances of it.

Since our stuff goes live at 1000 points, do we still need reasons for changing pages?  It's still there so i wonder if we need to put it.  My points hasn't gone up for some of my edits, so i wonder if you guys still look through them like regular edits in your queue and need some context as to what we do.  just curious.

either before or after, but I mean I wonder why we can't submit alias edits at all and just have them moderated even after 1000 points like submitting new pages still have to be approved even after you get 1000 points.

when i tried to add a picture, it just allows me to pick from my computer and my pictures i have uploaded to the site.

good to know about the aliases, but i wonder why can't just submit it and have it approved rather than just allowing us to change things live at 1000 points like new page submissions.

To the wiki editors on this page, I wanted to mention that we should probably be a little more objective in this article, there is a lot of straight up bias.  so we need to keep in mind that we need to be objective when writing wikis.
