With regard to your recent edits to Fallout: New Vegas, review scores should only be added if the source is considered to be a major source for reviews (VGChartz is not) and it is at one of the extremes for the game in question OR is one of the top "usual suspects" listed on the template page. Even then it is preferable to keep the list fairly short (the template page recommends no more than 15; it's at 13 at the moment). Please see Template:Video game reviews for more info.

Hello, just a follow up to this - do you have any connection to VGChartz? Thanks! Fin©™ 09:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Other than being a fan of the site, no TadjHolmes (talk) 09:47, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, could you explain why your name used to be in the copyright notice for VGChartz[1] and why you have the same AIM screenname as Brett Walson's nickname[2][3]. Just curious :) Thanks in advance. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 12:00, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, due to the lack of response, I have posted a notice at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#VG Chartz and Brett Walton. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 10:17, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, I don't really see what you are getting at or what you mean - where does it show an AIM screenname and a nickname being the same? I have already stated that I am a fan of the site, I wouldn't be going to the effort of editing pages otherwise just like it is obvious that you don't like the site so there would be a similar conflict of interest on your part, no? TadjHolmes (talk) 10:32, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

It shows it on Google's cache, which shows the version of the page before you modified it. Regardless, I edited the article only twice so I don't think it's really obvious whether I "like" or don't like the topic. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 17:41, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Brett Walton, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:48, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't see anywhere to discuss or resolve the issue? By who's opinion is it written as an advertisement? Reads like a biography to me. Is there a page where this is being discussed / managed / voted? TadjHolmes (talk) 08:58, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, at Talk:Brett Walton. SmartSE (talk) 12:29, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Defacement

Hello. I'm not defacing the article. Thanks! Fin©™ 09:07, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello again. No, defacing an article would be the vandalising of the article, the removal of information so the remaining article didn't make sense, or the addition of gibberish, or something else which is easily visible as defacement by the reader. I readded sourced information you had improperly removed (by calling it spam), and removed other information that was not notable. None of that could be considered defacement. Thanks!

Warning

Your recent post at WP:COIN attempted to out another editor, I have therefore removed it and will get the post permanently deleted. I will do the same for the previous post where another editor attempted to out you. SmartSE (talk) 12:50, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
