Today I have three "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:04, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extrordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:59, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Question
editHi. I know you're also familiar with Resident Evil and are also a fan of it (like me) since I'm pretty sure Homeostasis07 is already inactive. I wish that the character in the future will be FA like Jill, but its harder than I expected. Would you be able to check if the reception section at the Ada Wong article reads fine for you? (I am not native in English unfortunately and I was told to rewrite at first FAC before it was closed as unsuccessful. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 03:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I can have a look, sure. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi User:Boneless Pizza!, a couple comments:
- "Later ports of Resident Evil 4 include a new scenario featuring Ada as the playable character." - The average reader is not going to know that the game was originally released for GameCube, and that this began with the PS2 port. Is it worth clarifying?
- Done 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)
- asymmetric online multiplayer game Dead by Daylight (2016) as a playable character - Might be worth a footnote indicating that she was added with a later DLC; she hasn't been available since 2016, only 2022.
- Done 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)
- You mention Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is mentioned in the timeline), but the average reader is not going to know
that these were retellings of the original scenarios; it may be worth mentioning that the events of 2 and 4 were revisited in these games.these stories' place in the timeline. It might be worth touching on them.
- These are only side games. My conom disagreed with this due to inconsistency with FA Jill Valentine article (which we based). 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)
- Are there any sources that compare/contrast Ada's experiences in the original releases of 2 and 4 with the remakes? You mention the trenchcoat, but off the top of my head there's also the section where Ada has to unlock the door with her gadget.
- Unfortunately no, we already went deep but found nothing about this one. Even if we did, I feel like it would be a WP:INUNIVERSE content (like above). 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)
- Fair. I know striking the balance between comprehensiveness and real-world weight is difficult. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- On Leon and Ada's relationship, is the section where she tends to his wound mentioned in any sources? She's manipulative, yes, but she does have actions that aren't necessarily furthering her goals. Overall, I'm wondering if their relationship could be fleshed out more, especially since you mention that she's been criticized for having no other development.
- Same answer above, nope. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)
- It surprises me that the sources identifying Ada as feeding the male gaze don't mention her cheongsam. I'd expect the fetishization of Chinese culture implicit there to have been mentioned.
- I don't see any mention about cheongsam somehow. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)
- Has anyone drawn parallels between/contrasted Ada and Fong Ling from Resident Evil: Dead Aim?
- Never saw sources comparing her with an obscure character like Fong Ling. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔)
- Interesting! I'd have thought that the existence of another (ethnic) Chinese spy, dressed in a cheongsam, who playfully flirts with a white protagonist while also putting him down would have drawn more comment. Especially since, unlike Ada, they consummate the relationship in the end. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Only even mention is "budget Ada Wong", which isn't FA-level detail. Shucks. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yep, its a trivial commentary sadly. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 23:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- Are there any reliable sources dealing with fan response, aside from the review bombing of the 4 remake? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Only TheGamer source, but that's a low quality for reception to be used. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 12:40, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I did not expect you to full review the article. I was actually saying if the reception reads fine hehe, but seriously thank you! I'll work on this slowly. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 12:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's Ada! I had to. If it were Ethan, I wouldn't care as much... first few installments win for me. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:53, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Lol I don't like Ethan that much also, especially his annoying daughter at RE8 DLC. I liked Ada and Jill 😅. Anyway, I've addressed everything and thanks for the review! 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 10:05, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- LOL. I know she's not as mainstream, but Rebecca could have used some more spotlight. I forgot just how young her original VA sounded - I was playing GOG's re-release of the PC version of 1, and I was shocked. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- I wonder what's your favorite character. It must be Rebecca hehe. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 23:14, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm... Claire, Ada, and Leon are probably my top three. I'm hoping they end up remaking CV soon – that game could use some love! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

- One last comment, User:Boneless Pizza!. I saw on TVTropes (link) that the Resident Evil 1.5 intended to keep Ada as a researcher (as implied in 1). If we had a solid source for that, that would speak to her development as a character – it implies that she was fleshed out in the year between 1.5 and 2.0, as they shifted from having Branaugh and Kendo as supporting characters to Sherry and Ada. I realize that that's fairly niche, but it does give a bit of a clearer timeline for her development. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- I can find that info only at the Poylgon source [1], but not sure if this is still important to add "Resident Evil 1.5” was lacking. The designs for Leon S. Kennedy, Ada Wong, Sherry Birkin, Marvin Branagh, and Robert Kendo were largely carried over from the original version, and given expanded or modified roles. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 23:54, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- While this one might be good [2] One of the characters that made it mostly unchanged to the final game is Ada Wong. She plays much the same part as she does in the final game. She’s an Umbrella researcher that’s been sent to retrieve the G-Virus. The only real difference between her 1.5 incarnation and the final character is that she’s actually a scientist in 1.5. But, I may find it troubling to add that because it may confuse the reviewers the heck out of them because of her name first being mentioned at the first RE game, and now this. Feel free to add it to the article though since I am not sure where to place this and my English isn't that good. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 23:58, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- I have an idea. I'll try in a sec. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, I've tried a small edit. I don't think avoiding the name Resident Evil 1.5 is too weasily, as it's an unofficial moniker. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:03, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! Glad you also saw the peer review. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 01:21, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
