[edit]
Hi Go D. Usopp! I noticed that you've made several edits in order to restore a version of Daffy Duck. The impulse to repeatedly undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure that you're aware of Wikipedia's edit warring policy. Repeatedly undoing the changes made by other users in a back-and-forth fashion like this is disallowed, even if you feel what you're doing is justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages in order to try to reach a consensus with the other editors involved. If you are unable to come to an agreement at Talk:Daffy Duck, please use one of the dispute resolution options that are available in order to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of repeatedly reverting other editors' changes can help you avoid getting drawn into edit wars. The video clip was removed over concerns that it doesn't meet WP:NFCC#3b.. Belbury (talk) 19:01, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- I literally did a single revert which isn't representative of the edit warring rule. Go D. Usopp (talk) 00:10, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

- I was going to leave you a warning but I see you only just got warned about exit warring so there we are. When you don't like the outcome of a discussion the solution is to go to DRV or discuss with the closing admin, not edit warring over the redirect, what I have had to protect to ensure it sticks. Spartaz Humbug! 16:34, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Spartaz The other warning was for a video that I shortened to fit regulations, and I did not pass 3RR for that. Go D. Usopp (talk) 16:48, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- you knew edit warring was wrong but we're slow reverting. There is no way you can spin this that isn't subverting consensus and being disruptive. Spartaz Humbug! 17:57, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive
[edit]
Hello Go D. Usopp:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

Regional names for arcade games
[edit]Hi! I appreciate your efforts in arcade game list, but can we discuss regional game titles? I see a pattern in your editing and don't want to silently ruin your work. I think we should be consistent and list games by their North American names, like other lists, because 1) this is the English Wikipedia and 2) it will ensure consistency. In the future, when someone finally decides to compile one big list, or at most a 3-page list, we can create a separate tab for Japanese games and make them more sotable. Daniel Northwood (talk) 19:03, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Daniel Northwood Some games' common names in English are not their North American names. We usually prioritize Japanese names in English unless its North American release is remarkably well known and is used as branding beyond the licensed publisher. No need to separate the Japanese games, it wouldn't pass WP:NLIST anyway. Go D. Usopp (talk) 01:43, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Query
[edit]Hello, Go D. Usopp,
I was just wondering if you could tell me why you emptied Category:Films with screenplays by Bob Clampett. I could understand if you wanted to put the articles in a different category like "Works by Bob Clampett" but you didn't leave an edit summary explaining why you were doing, what we call, "emptying out of process". Thank you for any explanation you can supply. Liz Read! Talk! 06:28, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
- Apologies for the lack of an edit summary. The category was emptied because the films listed do not have a screenplay by Bob Clampett documented in reliable sources as required, which is original research and hence inaccurate. Go D. Usopp (talk) 06:33, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi there. I recently expanded The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match after having access to the Japanese website and reviews for the PC port.

WIP 2600 list at my sandbox
[edit]Hi, I noticed you've been doing a lot of work on List of Atari 2600 games recently, especially on the later post-crash stuff which I really appreciate cause that's a real gap in my knowledge. I wanted to let you know I've been working on an entirely new version of the list over at my sandbox. It currently features a combined first-party and third-party, cleaned up titles, cleaned up NA dates, a first pass at PAL dates, and culling of certain redundant notes.
I don't really want to integrate it with the main article until the PAL column is a little more presentable, but it'll be a lot more research till I'm completely satisfied with it. I also want to a big clean up of the developer column but I realized it would be a better idea to wait to do that later once it's intergrated. I've also been mulling over just getting rid of the notes entirely, turning them into footnotes where appropriate, to leave room for perhaps more space efficient columns (like maybe a seperate column for "designer" and "developer", or serial numbers, cross platform comparisons, an actually organized genre column, something like that)
Do you think I should try to clean it up and integrate it as soon as possible so our work doesn't get forked too much, or do you think its not ready for that? Also let me know what you think might be too bold, I have a hard time being collaborative sometimes. Whipmywillows (talk) 05:54, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
- I would recommend integrating the changes directly except for information with minimal sourcing available, the improvements are a great benefit to the article. Info on the PAL games can be added gradually given how inconsistent the documentation is about PAL games on this console. Go D. Usopp (talk) 06:01, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
- Ok. I'll try to get a clean version added soon. Trying to come up with what a good solution is for the games were sourcing is clear a PAL version exists but gives absolutely no indication of when. I could just guess a year which is what every other list does, if you've got a better idea let me know. Whipmywillows (talk) 06:10, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
