Introduction

[edit]

The last paragraph of the article introduction is stale. "... no further titles in the series have been announced." has now been superseded by the correctly referenced "Guitar Hero Live" in the recently edited sentence further along. SquashEngineer (talk) 20:53, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. --MASEM (t) 21:35, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Guitar Hero. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Semi-protected edit request on 26 May 2016

[edit]

This is a strange one. The page indicates that Guitar Hero Live was released in October 2016. Yet when I went to edit, the source indicates October 2015. Obviously it couldn't be October 2016. Just sayin' Qbertprime (talk) 03:36, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Done That was my mistake, its 2015. --MASEM (t) 03:37, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PCG lawsuit

[edit]

According to this, the PCG dropped their suit of their own volition less than a year after filing it. Activision also did not do anything in response to the suit. Is this source reliable enough to be used in the article? Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 23:04, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[1] would seem to be a usable source for this, just as long as we don't interprete from it. --MASEM (t) 23:59, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 25 March 2018

[edit]

I just found a public domain version of the series' first logo on Wikimedia Commons. Can someone change the first logo in the "History" section to the one in the link? 38.88.63.90 (talk) 20:08, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have strong concerns that that logo is not properly in the public domain (notable the Rs are different, so it's not just a typeface). --Masem (t) 20:40, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 DoneNevermind, I see there was discussion on the copyright nature with discussion favoring keep there. That becomes their problem if they are wrong. --Masem (t) 20:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clone hero

[edit]

In the "Clones" section, shouldn't there be a mention of Clone Hero, which is now perhaps the largest open-source Guitar Hero clone? Awesomegaming (talk) 04:30, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Saturation timeline

[edit]

Hi Masem,

Sorry, I didn't get that the timeline was intended to visually make clear how the Hero games were becoming over-saturated. I don't have the time tonight, but what do you think if I change the old-style timeline into {{Timeline of release years}}? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My only concern with the new style is that is loses the resolution per-year. This had been an issue I had looked at for another use of the new template and was thinking about how to make per-half year and per-quarter versions of it of which I had not yet done). But I would not see a problem at the current time to switch to the new version for now since it's still going to show the mass grouping in 2008 + 2009. --Masem (t) 15:49, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Masem, I've added the timeline (see Guitar_Hero#Oversaturation. It's more plain and clear and indeed still shows how many releases there were in 2008. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 07:44, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

[edit]

After reviewing this article, I am concerned that it no longer meets the GA criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

  • At 9800 words, WP:SIZERULE recommends trimming the article. Can any information be spun off, or removed from the article?
  • There are uncited sentences and paragraphs.
  • The lede, at five paragraphs, is longer than the recommended length at MOS:LEADLENGTH

Is anyone interested in working on this article? If not, should it go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
