Best wishes for 2026

Always great to receive your Christmas wishes, Boz. And of course to see you around doing good work on Wikipedia. Hope that you're having a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Martin IIIa (talk) 17:34, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you Martin IIIa, much appreciated, and to you as well. :) BOZ (talk) 18:08, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Where to mention?

The World of Darkness this cover/edition that has a review in RT doesn't have a dedicated entry as far as I can tell, is likely notable. For now I added a review mention to the main article where the redirect leads. Another one I don't even know where to mention is World of Darkness: Chicago. . That review calls it a spiritual and better successor of Chicago by Night. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:56, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Piotrus, you want The World of Darkness: Storytelling System Rulebook. :) BOZ (talk) 04:33, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

User:Piotrus/Wolsung

My next project. I have more Polish sources to use (including WT). If you could find any English RS, do let me know (all I have so far, not in article yet, is an Ennies nom). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:28, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I see a brief mention here and a little more here in case those are helpful at all. BOZ (talk) 11:05, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
Thanks. I am mostly done; should be DYKable I think. Feel free to take a look; I'll probably mainspace it 2morrow. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:03, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
I did a deeper search on Enwiki and found this image: and there was a prior AFC version at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Wolsung: Steam Pulp Fantasy in case you want to get that restored so you can take a look and see if there is anything useful on it. BOZ (talk) 05:13, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
Nice, I'll ask for it indeed, just on the off chance it had some hard to find source. As for images, I collected them at commons:Category:Wolsung, but for the usual copyright reasons, they are hard to find. At least on en wiki we will be able to use fair use images. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:45, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
Based on the draft, there is a possibly useful EL (English review, claimed), but I can't get IA to give me any working copy - how about you? https://web.archive.org/web/20160601000000*/https://agamemag.com/archives/2622 Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:19, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
I see what you mean, it's like it wants to constantly reload. IA goes goofy sometimes, maybe give it a few hours or a day and try again. Maybe one of my talk page watchers wants to try it and see. BOZ (talk) 15:11, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
I've tried it with Firefox, Chrome and Edge, nothing worked. --Cyfal (talk) 15:44, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
@Cyfal Thanks. The main page loads (for 2012), it looks like it was some niche game review website, but of dubious reliability (). The posts seem signed by real name person, but I see no 'about us' or anything describing them, which generally is a sign of a very amateurish project. I did, in fact, luck out and stumble upon a snippet of their review here: https://web.archive.org/web/20121016045900/http://agamemag.com/archives/category/reviews Sigh. While the author Brandon Stanbrough seems findable on the net, I don't think the review would be of much use given the meh quality of the website - and fortunately, we don't need it (the game is notable without it). Thanks for looking, and enjoy the entry at Wolsung, now published and at DYK :) (on pl wiki there is a separate old page about the RPG itself; I am not that motivated to split it here).

Sourcing?

Can you point me to a canonical set of rules for sourcing stuff like the Thunderbolts page? Sfeldon (talk) 01:28, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

There are all sorts of guidelines and policies for Wikipedia. Do you have anything specific you need help finding? I also have friendly "talk page stalkers" who are invited to help out if they can think of an answer. :) BOZ (talk) 02:17, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
Specifically, what I should have done to avoid the reversion on Thunderbolts. I mostly got my info from a friend's issues…. Sfeldon (talk) 22:42, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
Can you provide a link to the diff? BOZ (talk) 22:43, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

You'll be happy to know

I am working on a third list of games reviewed by a reliable Polish magazine, Świat Gier Komputerowych. While it was ostensibly a video game magazine, it reviewed 1-2 tabletop games regularly (it seems mostly RPGs). I hope to finish it in few days, give or take.

The Swordsheath Scroll

Hi, your article The Swordsheath Scroll is unfinished, it has two empty sections. Please fill it in or I may have to nominate it for deletion :) RossEvans19 (talk) 01:30, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the friendly threat. :) I will try to find the time to work on it soon. BOZ (talk) 01:33, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Alien 2600

Just wanted to say thanks for all the encouragement as I slowly built up the article for Alien (1982 video game). It was one that I felt was nearly at the level of potentially not having enough content to turn it into anything until slowly but surely finding more and more content to build it up. Lets hope it can become its GA review without too much hassle! Anyways, your encouragement definitely helped me keep going on that, so thank you! Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:58, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Awesome, I'm sure you'll make it. You do good work! :) BOZ (talk) 14:11, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
@Andrzejbanas if you ever find yourself looking for a project, I have an absolute ton of my VG creations listed under User:BOZ#Start it up (scroll down under the tables). The first few dozen listed there have been better developed over time, but if you click "show" on the rest there are a few hundred more, mostly from the 80s and 90s (and a few 70s and early 00s). :D BOZ (talk) 15:45, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello Kitty Best Friends Game

Hi BOZ! :) I found these sources for Hello Kitty Best Friends Game (the Hello Kitty board game) (page 7), , ,

This is all I found. Quite a few awards! Was wondering if you came acroos any reviews? It just needs that for a page. Timur9008 (talk) 13:06, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Wanna upload book covers?

Hi BOZ,

As you have been keeping an eye on the RPG articles' covers, I was wondering if you would want to upload those book covers yourself as well. You can use my Book Cover upload script if you want to: User:Kingsacrificer/BookCover.js

Moreover, I noticed many of your articles are unrated. If you'd like to rate them quickly, this script (User:Evad37/rater.js) could be useful for you.

In case of any doubts, you always have WP:BOOKS. Cheers! Kingsacrificer (talk) 13:28, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

That is helpful, thank you! I will have to find some time to look into that. BOZ (talk) 13:36, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

The Serpent River (Book Cover).webp

Hi, I'm getting no image and the ? in a blue box.

When I click the image I get the message:

Sorry, the file cannot be displayed There seems to be a technical issue. You can retry if it persists. Error: could not load image from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/ce/The_Serpent_River_%28Book_Cover%29.webp/273px-The_Serpent_River_%28Book_Cover%29.webp.png

when I click on the image in the viewer, it then shows separately. I suspect there's something wrong with the image format and or the name. Please note that the image is attributed to https://www.scribd.com/document/528056919/Earthdawn-the-Serpent-River, a site well known for its lax approach to copyright.

I would suggest saving the image as a png or jpg and changing the attribution. Sciencefish (talk) 18:08, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

@Sciencefish, that is weird, I was able to see this one just fine. Maybe it is an issue that @Kingsacrificer is able to fix for The Serpent River. BOZ (talk) 18:13, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
@Sciencefish I have replaced the file, let's see if it works. Kingsacrificer (talk) 19:32, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Mephisto

Why isn't Mephisto a supervillain? SkalgarXLR (talk) 05:11, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Supervillain is more like Doctor Doom, Magneto, or character like that. Galactus, Mephisto, Dormammu and other vastly powerful beings are a bit beyond that description. BOZ (talk) 05:13, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
What about Knull? SkalgarXLR (talk) 05:15, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Mitch Gitelman Thank You

Hi BOZ,

Thanks for taking a look at my draft. I really appreciate the help. As you can see, I’m the subject and trying to follow best practices, so if there’s anything you’d recommend I work on or add source-wise, I’d be glad to help. I'm totally out of my depth here.

Thanks, Cyrano Knight (talk) 19:36, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Gotcha, I added a little so I hope that helps. You might want to check with your previous reviewers on Draft:Mitch Gitelman, User:Athanelar and User:Anachronist and see that they can suggest. BOZ (talk) 20:20, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
The additions by BOZ were good (mostly adding citations) but my overall assessment about being AI slop remains unchanged. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 21:31, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

WikiProject banner for living person biography

Hi BOZ, I notice you recently added an obsolete WikiProject Biography banner to the page Talk:Sarah Ransome. Please be aware that the wikitext markup for a living person has changed and and the attribute for a living person is now placed in the banner shell. The code you need to use is now:
