Did you know nomination

Inaccurate source?

The text that says "...Artiaga achieve the first "line count overflow" in the game, where the game starts to display the level using negative numbers" is inaccurate, however there are no sources I could find that are correct. It's a weird issue so I figured I'd mention something.

The line count does not display negative numbers, after Z the game begins iterating through the internal spritesheet for characters to fill the first digit. This is seen in the game where after Z, the characters are - for the next 100, then ,, then ', then →, then !, and finally ? since the game ended before the next character. This is similar to the way the Minus World glitch works in the original Super Mario Bros. where the world is actually World 36, but the game's character for 36 is a blank space.

Just thought I'd mention it since it doesn't look like anyone else has. As I said, it's a weird issue because there are no sources to mention this, but I just know that this is how the game actually works. Sdslayer100 (talk) 09:49, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

:@Sdslayer100: That's very interesting! Thanks for taking the time to write this out. As you said, there are no reliable sources claiming this, but since you've challenged it I am happy to remove the claim from the article. Cheers! Johnson524 02:29, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Move page to dogplayingtetris

Hello, I'll be copying a move request I did on Fractal's page, because the same logic applies here:

When people in the Tetris community talk about, or to Fractal, nobody refers to him as Justin, or, only rarely when [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jC-Ik34Gzc introducing him in a YouTube video.]. In this talk page I use the name "Fractal", because it would honestly be impolite to do so otherwise. All his social accounts go by "Fractal". To refer to him as Justin Yu, like on a Wikipedia page is just poor manners. Not only that, it doesn't follow Wikipedia's policy of using common names. We don't default to the government name of living people, we use the name they actually go by in the field they're known for. This is true for pen names (J.K Rowling), stage names (Marylin Monroe), ring names (Hulk Hogan), and yes, gamertags, like with Faker and Turbopolsa. Using their government names violates Wikipedia policy, prior precedent and its just kinda weird. Stolenshortsword (talk) 09:31, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
