Thanks
Good to see you've caught on to wiki communication. In the future, you can reply to messages left on your page by posting on the talk page of the other editor. That we, we get the little green message notification box. Otherwise, we might never see a reply you put on your own talk page.

I'm lowering your block to one day, since it seems you're getting the hang of things. See you around the wiki.--Gothemasticator 12:16, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Radio New Vegas
There's a discrepancy, for sure, between the credits and the game. But that doesn't mean the game has a bug. Barring some indication that things are not working as intended, there is no bug. The fact that the credits list a song that doesn't play is not in itself a "bug" - it's a typo. Is it a "bug" that Hangover Heart is listed in the credits, but isn't in the game? Is it a "bug" that Big Iron (and other songs) are listed under "Black Mountain Radio" but actually plays on all three radio stations? Is it a "bug" that Mojave Music Radio isn't listed in the credits at all? I say no to all of the above - they're all mistakes or oversights in the credits.

The exception is "Stars of the Midnight Range" - if you look in the GECK you can see an entry for it in Radio New Vegas's playlist, but if you look at the specific entry, you can see that it's set to play Big Iron. To me, that's evidence of a bug.

A bug is a situation where the game is clearly not working as intended. Discrepancies in the credits are not enough evidence of a bug. I have checked the GECK as well, and every song in the game plays somewhere, thus I assume they are playing where they were intended to play. In addition, the songs written by J.E. Sawyer are mixed differently from the other songs, and sound like they're playing in an echo-y hall. Which fits where they play - in the Aces theater for the performances.

And finally, there is already a note about the credits being wrong in the credits section of the Fallout: New Vegas soundtrack page, which covers this situation just fine.

So I turn it around and say you shouldn't add a bug entry without clear evidence of a bug, which you haven't done. Nothing personal, it's just that half the bad edits on the wiki are from people adding "bugs" that don't meet the criteria, so usually I just remove them and add a note in the summary saying "not a bug". I'll leave your edit alone and ask an admin, because your bug certainly isn't just a random observation. I still don't think it's a bug, but it's a judgement call. --Don (Dmunsil 16:46, November 17, 2010 (UTC))

I've edited the page in question; it's definitely worth noting in the bugs section, provided it's worded accurately. -- 17:03, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
