Miscellaneous information

edit

I dont understand what the "misc information" in the article has to do with anything.

It has to do with the game. Nobody claimed that the information is well-organized, which is why it's "miscellaneous," but it is all relevant on some level. Aerion//talk 04:43, 14 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Does anyone know who composed the music for the game? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Religion.is.war (talkcontribs) .

Move the planets?

edit

Would it be a good idea to move the planets section to a separate article, such as List of Meteos planets or List of planets in Meteos? I think the list takes up too much space in the main article, unbalancing the page. Aapo Laitinen 19:52, 17 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

I would really like to see a list of planets under this article, not under a seperate article. I think it's better to keep as many many things in one article as possible, rather than dividing all the information among many articles. Hevendor 12:39, 6 November 2005
On second thought, I think I'll put it in a different article. I hope you noticed that I added a list of Meteo Planets under the main article :D - Hevendor
Saw it in my watchlist. A tiny niggle, if you don't mind: Wikipedia endorses straight case (List of Meteos planets) instead of headline case (List of Meteos Planets). You can correct the capitalization using the Move tool. Aapo Laitinen 22:50, 8 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Oops, my bad :P - Hevendor
I moved the article to correct the title. The history is intact and the old title is now a redirect. Aapo Laitinen 22:15, 10 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Why is it that now the list of meteos planets exists on the article, with a link? Removing it, leaving the link.Mythi 19:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Secondary launch

edit

Does anybody have a solid theory as to why sometimes a whole stack launches after a secondary ignition while at other times only the bricks above the ignition launch? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find one. Falcolombardi87 19:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm pretty sure that depends on how low the ignition you're creating is. If there are only a few blocks over it, it'll launch itself.Mythi 19:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm not exactly sure but I'm almost positive it has to do with the peices that have fused together. When you line up meteos the burn and fuse together. All the meteos that have been fused together regardless of whether the ignition blocks are above or below will launch. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Religion.is.war (talkcontribs) .

Organization

edit

Anyone else see way too many small sections in this article (partially my fault for changing planets). Fixings? Mythi 19:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sales Figures

edit

Anyone know of the current sales figures for the game worldwide and in regions like USA, Europe and Japan as of July 2006?

Planets

edit

For some reason, the "List of Meteos planets" article has been deleted. It would be a good idea to replace any useful information about the Meteos planets in this article. The old list is still to be found here but I don't have the time or inclination to recreate it. I have however listed the names. RandomCritic 10:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I guess it's fair to put the list here, but listing more than the name would take up far too much space without much of a benefit.-Mythi 05:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
You can check the AFD to learn why it was deleted. Two suggestions: try not to create a list; use prose to make it encyclopedic, and don't include exact status information. -- ReyBrujo 06:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Is there a reason the list of planets contains links for each planet? I will remove the links as I do not think that each planet requires a separate article.--kenobi.zero 13:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
You're right, they don't. A list article for them might be prudent, as suggested above, though. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 14:13, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Redirect loop

edit

Someone should make an article for Meteos: Disney Edition. It's a redirect loop back to this article. -Wikicities User:Revidnioc —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.226.86.184 (talkcontribs) .

We should Also make an article for Meteos Wars. In fact, i dont see why we dont start a Project for the Franchise.-Jedi77 (talk) 10:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Meteos.jpg

edit
 

Image:Meteos.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yellow Alloy is not a Geolyte

edit

While it looks a lot like one in head design, the other Alloys also have such a style, simply not as direct a reference. However, I believe it's been proven through comparison shots that Yellow Alloy is in reality using Mario's animation set, and that Blue Alloy has been given Peach's animation set, so it shouldn't really be thought of as a possibility of a Meteos character, just a reference at most. Not sure how the best way to write that is though, nor do I remember where I can find the pictures again. DinnerSonic (talk) 02:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

File:Meteos 2.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

edit
 

An image used in this article, File:Meteos 2.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion for the following reason: Wikipedia files with no non-free use rationale as of 3 December 2011

What should I do?

Don't panic; you should have time to contest the deletion (although please review deletion guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

  • If the image is non-free then you may need to provide a fair use rationale
  • If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale, then it cannot be uploaded or used.
  • If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Deletion Review

  1. Is it reasonably well written?  
    Do we really need to know the exact dates for release in the lead? Especially since they're all in the same year.
    Done. GamerPro64 14:51, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    "Later versions of the game were released for mobile phones and the Xbox Live Arcade" - when? The year will be sufficient.
    Done. GamerPro64 14:51, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    "A sequel for the game, Meteos: Disney Magic, was released for the Nintendo DS." - same again.
    Done. GamerPro64 14:51, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    "having been producer for Sega's Space Channel 5 and Rez. Masahiro Sakurai" - need something separating these two people, at least a comma after '5', but preferably a new sentence.
    I don't understand what you're asking. They're already two sentences. There's a period after Rez. GamerPro64 14:51, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    Nevermind I was reading it wrong. Freikorp (talk) 23:46, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    "It was later nominated for "Best Puzzle/Trivia/Parlor Game" at the Game Critics Awards" - I understand this award is related to E3, but this information still looks out of place since there's an entire sub-section dedicated to awards later on.
    Moved to 'Awards and accolades". GamerPro64 14:51, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    "Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Jack Sparrow and Winnie the Pooh are featured as contents in the vault that hold their stories are rearranged." - You've lost me. I'm feeling like there's a word or two missing from the end of the sentence, or maybe this just needs a better explanation for people who haven't played the game.
    Cleaned up the section. GamerPro64 14:51, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?  
    A. Has an appropriate reference section:  
    B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:  
    C. No original research:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?  
    A. Major aspects:  
    B. Focused:  
  4. Is it neutral?  
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. Is it stable?  
    No edit wars, etc:  
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?  
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail: Fantastic work overall. Looking forward to promoting this once issues are addressed. Freikorp (talk) 13:14, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    Happy for this to pass now. Well done. Don't feel obligated, but I have a peer review I'm looking for comments at if you're interested. Freikorp (talk) 23:46, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
