Re:Contributors' Thread - Monday, April 13, 2009 11:45 PM
Do you think we could educate the contributors to not use excessive colons?  It's really not that hard to say "Gamespot's Mahjong:Deluxe! Review" instead of "Gamespot Review: Mahjong:Deluxe!"  It's neither English nor reader friendly.
I am the Harbinger of English.  I will leave no participle dangling, no construction incomplete, no negatives doubled and no sentence fragmented.

How do you know when to approve a story and when not to? I'm still new to the whole contributor thing and I voted to approve some legit stories, and now I'm banned from voting for 24 hours. It said I didn't follow the N4G guidelines. I checked the sources, editing, and if the story was a legit story or not.

I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I just posted this story http://www.n4g.com/News-319687.aspx and noticed that I couldn't add a related game if the story goes under "Mobile".   Or did I miss something?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, you can't add mobile related games.  I assume this is because there are so many games, and there are about 15 different versions of Tetris, which would get so confusing.

Edit: I'm going to need these pulled. I posted a dupe without going a little deeper into the relation of the stories and their sources.

Not sure if this is the correct area

I posted this story:
http://n4g.com/ps3/News-328244.aspx

Then this one is submitted afterwards:
http://n4g.com/industrynews/NewsCom-328258.aspx?

It's an obvious dupe that is going off of just the update that is provided from my original submission.

Actually, if you have went to the original source of his submission, you would see that the update was made about the "comparing trophies" was made long before you submitted your article.

You should be reading the whole story before you cry foul.

Not to mention that you are trying to sneak by a duplicate article by changing the title on N4G.

Also, the title of the article that your "contribution" points to is "Firmware 2.76 Now Available". Your article isn't even based off the speed of the trophies being updated, it's about the release of the Firmware itself.

It boils down to just how little of a nuance means it's a new article.  They are the same articles in my eyes.

Well at the time the story wasn't on the home page so I didn't think that thread was appropriate.

Understood, it won't happen again.  Feel Free to Remove.

That is just a PhotoShop job the guy didn't even do a very good job, RAIDEN shows up well outside of the rendered "Rainy Area".

Looks like PSLS has a brand new fan!

This guy joins N4G, makes a B-Line for our global update and proceeds to copy and paste the entire article into his comment...

http://n4g.com/NewsCom-335901.aspx?CT=1&Page=1&Page2=1#C2395281

http://n4g.com/up/90147/comments.aspx

Is this legitimate commenting procedure?
