Great to see that you're trying to help Wikipedia, but it seems that this article you created may not be appropriate for an encyclopedia. Please see WP:NOT for the relevant guidelines and improve the article if possible. NickelShoe 02:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

KdogDS' reply: I know. Thanks for letting me know. I replied your message on your talk page.

[edit] Talk: Mace Windu

Do NOT remove content from Talk pages. Doing so is considered vandalism. Thank you. Powers 14:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

KdogDS' reply: Sorry...:(

[edit] Heck no!!

I like video games but I'm not a stalker. I don't even know what pages I visited that you did as well! But one thing's for sure, I'm not following you..... >_>--Zxcvbnm 13:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

KdogDS' reply: Ok, sorry for overreacting...

[edit] Page move

Hi, just want to let you know that it's usually not a good idea to do manual page moves like you did with List of Sony Greatest Hits games. It wiped out the page's edit history and talkpage history. To move a page properly, push the "move" button at the top of a page. In this case, a move wasn't needed; the article's title is ok. Thanks. Crumbsucker 06:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Plankton.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:Plankton.jpeg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.65.227 14:13, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chill, man, just chill.

Do you always act like a crazy drunken 12 year old? Okay, that was a little rough. But anyway, relax. You'll lose it if you don't. Take a walk, hug a girl, join the hippie nation... just chill. DcPimp
P.S. Forget what I said about the hippies.
Are you asking me to repeat myself, or did you read the whole "5th dimension psychos" line and are now telling me I have no right to talk? Alrighty then, if you really don't know what I meant, I just said to tone down the emotion in your comments. As for the 5th dimension, I heard it on TV and thought it sounded cool. Anyway, just keep it real. If you really are 12, I'm not much older than you, and I can tell ya; the ladies LOVE a calm, cool, relaxed man. --DcPimp
P.S. You left your message on my User page, not my talk page. Just thought I'd let ya know.
Well, you got a little crazy on two Talk Pages I visited recently. One was the Creatures in the Metroid series talk page. You almost went ballistic during the argument over the Hunter's lives. Then you went and accused Zxcvbnm of following you on his talk page. Once again, you got a little overdramatic. --DcPimp
P.S. Is the whole pimp impression I'm giving off getting a little old?
Oh. Well, in that case, have at it!! I thought you were just another, well, how do I word this? Uh, idiot, that's the word!! Sorry if that gets you mad, but it's true. I've been to a lot of Talk Pages, and some of these commentors are truly stupid. In a way, you were acting a little worse than them(Sorry again!). --DcPimp

You beat me to the Eartha Kitt edit with regards to Holes versus Holes. I was at work when I noticed it, and had put it on my list. Touché for beating me to it. Mitch 07:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arthur D. Noda

A tag has been placed on Arthur D. Noda, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Arthur D. Noda is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Arthur D. Noda. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. --Ssbohio 03:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements!

WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas:

  • An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style)
  • Evolving lists into regular articles
  • Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections)
  • Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members
  • More to come

These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.

Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.
Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!

[edit] Vandalism

Thank you for experimenting with the page :Image talk:Childhood Obesity.JPG on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed.

Please do not remove vandalism warnings from your talk page. This, too, is considered a form of vandalism. Rklawton 19:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. KdogDS 19:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] WikiRally Preteen

I am wondering, are you between the ages of 10-12? If so you are eligable for WikiRally Preteen, and unofficial fork of the Wikipedia Youth Foundation. User:Wizkid357/Wiki Preteen. Our goal is to create a bond between the few preteen Wikipedians. This is to hopefully collaberate with people our age. I urge you to at least take a look at it and add your name. Happy wikiing!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ATAT sketch reduced quality.GIF

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:ATAT sketch reduced quality.GIF. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ResurgamII 22:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Star Wars: Battlefront III

Hey, I believe that is my fault. When I was doing some cleaning, I referenced a source article, and it apparently fails to mention the 360 connection, whereas other related articles do. I'll add a second cite to back it up. Thanks for pointing that out. -- Huntster T@C 05:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Danson and Bhiff.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Danson and Bhiff.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. -- Drat (Talk) 11:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Several images listed for deletion

Several images that you uploaded or altered, Image:Dewback sketch.png, Image:Tetris worlds screenshot 1.png, Image:Tetrisworldscover.png Image:Clone campaigns cover.png, Image:Dark Reaper.PNG and Image:Zt2es.png have been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. I have replaced these images with the source Jpegs. Please note that converting Jpegs to PNG generally does nothing but balloon out the filesize. The exeception is perhaps when cleaning up a very low colour image that was erronously converted to Jpeg. Please look on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in these files not being deleted. Thank you. -- Drat (Talk) 10:57, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
