[edit] Thanks
Thank you for your copyediting work at Game! Although I don't agree with all of it, it's certainly helped out, and has stimulated me to improve the article's style even further. I've listed you at Wikipedia:Great editing in progress. Seahen 15:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Your edit to Superted.
We welcome contributions on Wikipedia which contain factual and correct information. Unfortunately, I had to edit your recent change to the Superted article, since it contained factually incorrect information. In the info box on the right of the page, you placed a flag template against the country of origin, thereby denoting that Superted was originally created in the United States of America. This is wrong. Superted was originally created in the United Kingdom, by the author Mike Young, who now works in the USA. The series is Welsh, and I have therefore changed the flag template to reflect this.
If you wish to discuss this change with me, or have anything pertinent to add, please feel free to contact me. Thor Malmjursson 11:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC) Thor's Multilingual Talk Page

[edit] stub deletion debate
Hmmm... You have a couple questions that I will try to address:
- rather generic {{tv-stub}}
- There are indeed much better stubs than this. If it is a TV show, try using {{US-tv-prog-stub}} and its related siblings (UK, Canada, Japan, etc). If it is a station or channel, there is a proposal here to create that. There's also a proposal for regional tv stubs, which should help soon.
- I skipped many articles because they were already stubbed with above that will be deleted. Does this mean I will need to go back, find all of those articles, and restub them?
- Well, yes and no. The articles will need to be restubbed, but it's not actually that painful. Alai has a bot that does a lot of automatic restubbing (say a simple rename or a straight deletion) that can do a lot of tedious tasks. There is also a tool called AutoWikiBrowser which helps tremendously with restubbing. It can create a list of "what transcludes here" for example, then you can make your changes, hit save, and it will automatically load the next article in your list. It's a really sweet tool and I recommend it for anyone doing a lot of stub-sorting, since it's a pretty tedious task sometimes.
I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you need anything else, just let me know. Have a great day and happy editing! ~ Amalas rawr =^_^= 23:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Game Maker deletions
I think I just missed Seiklus -- I remember opening the article, but I don't remembered evaluating it for deletion. I'll take a look. However, in general it is difficult for fangames and games created with Game Maker to meet the WP:SOFTWARE requirements. Andre (talk) 03:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, here's why I didn't nominate Seiklus. It was nominated already quite recently, see Articles_for_deletion/Seiklus. Andre (talk) 03:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Template:User MiB
With respect, your change has been reverted; the entire purpose when I created this was to exactly replicate the quote. Meantime, since most if not all non-project userboxes will be moved to userspace anyway per WP:GUS, feel free to copy this and alter it within your space. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 14:56, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
