Editing efforts

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that when it comes to speedrunners, Xymph is already compiling a large list of stats and runners, so it's best to leave those pages alone for now, even if they are high up on the list of wanted articles. If you have the time to put in, there are several things you might want to focus your efforts on instead. If I may humbly provide some suggestions, I recommend looking into updating the Good Morning Phobos page since the article currently covers an outdated version, uploading high quality screenshots of the Doom 64 equivalents of items and weapons on the respective pages, uploading screenshots for the items and monsters from Hacx in better quality, creating monster tables for WADs that don't have them yet (Crapi and Simplicity come to mind) or perhaps even contributing some walkthroughs such as taking care of the maps without one found in Eternal Doom. However, creating very bare stubs of speedrunners currently isn't very helpful, and I just wanted to point out that energy could be better spent elsewhere... Cheers. --Dynamo128 (talk) 14:35, 11 January 2022 (CST)

Sorry, not interested in those suggestions. --PhilthyPhilistine (talk) 15:45, 4 March 2022 (CST)

Question marks in articles

Hi. Could you please add the map names to the articles for mods that you create? Already in the past I've had to fill them in, it feels incredibly impolite of you to leave question marks instead of the proper names just because you expect someone else to fill in the work that you very easily could have spent two additional minutes doing if only you had downloaded the mod in question. Thanks. --Dynamo128 (talk) 19:42, 23 January 2022 (CST)

I've done so when the mappers list them in the text file or forum. Otherwise, I only briefly used SLADE once to make a music pack (the simplest of wads) and have no interest in using it again (it was deleted soon after I made the pack). But I'm effectively done creating mapset articles anyways; I only created Flotsam a few weeks ago because it was the last mapset in Vertigo's progression list (at least the one's towards the hard end of the spectrum) without an article here. --PhilthyPhilistine (talk) 15:45, 4 March 2022 (CST)

Details

I would appreciate if you would not treat important details as if they exist within a scarcity of space. As an encyclopedia, our duty is to be thorough toward raw, hard facts. The only consideration given should be readability and that has, so far, not been a factor with many of the removals I am seeing in your edits. --Quasar (talk) 13:09, 4 March 2022 (CST)

We've agreed on what's important for the most part, but for certain details we'll disagree to some extent. I've lived up to that duty quite well. In my several months of activity at this wiki, nobody has had a higher standard of adding references than me. It's a chronic weakness of this place. --PhilthyPhilistine (talk) 15:45, 4 March 2022 (CST)
