[edit] Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Just a few quick tips:

  • Our Tutorial explains how to edit; you can experiment in the test area.
  • We have help pages, and if they don't help (can happen :-), post a question at the Help Desk.
  • Remember that we strive to have unbiased articles.
  • Eventually, you might want to read our Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
  • Use the "Preview" button below the edit box! It helps you catch layout, format, and spelling errors before saving.
  • To sign your messages (to talk pages, for instance—like I do below), add four tildes (~~~~) to your posts. The software will replace them by your signature and a time stamp when you save the page.

Anyway, have fun improving this encyclopedia! Lupo 15:34, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Eternal class support ship (gundam).jpg

Why did you tag this image as {{PD}}? The external site clearly states "Content ©2000-2004 by Mecha & Anime HQ"... Lupo 15:34, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Because the owners of that website didn't create the image, nor do they own the copyrights to it.

Well then, who created it and owns the copyright? Lupo 15:37, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Sunrise, the same company that owns everything Gundam-related.

And can you point me to a statement of that company where they say that they release their images into the public domain? Or can you provide proof that their copyright has expired? Lupo 15:55, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] "trolling"

This sounds mean, but I think he's just upset with me because I challenged his move to combine the articles into one page. However, those pictures (and the UC ship ones as well) should qualify for fair use. Aqua008's user page contains a discussion over this topic. He and I had this discussion when the Alexandria class cruiser was placed on the cleanup page for various reasons, among them the lack of a picture.

[edit] Template

When you condensed the UC ships into a templete (thanks for doing that, I still don't know how :-)) you included a spot for Jupritis, but the page already exists as Jupitris class (Gundam). Thought you should know. TomStar81 05:57, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Whoops. It wasn't linked from the other pages, so I assumed it wasn't there. Oh, and making the template was easy. All I did was copy the table from the UC ship pages, then start up an entry named "Template:Universal Century ship classes" and paste the table into it. Then I replaced the table in those pages with "{{Template:Universal Century ship classes}}". Redxiv 07:19, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • For the record, most of the UC era ships are already their- if you click on the bottom link that reads "Gundam Space Vessels" you can see all the ship classes (or specific ships, if the content permits) that have been created. At any rate, the problem be solved. Thanks TomStar81 05:14, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Save our Ships!!!

I found some live amunition to use in defense of the alleged copyvio-ed CE era ships. It seems that the Anon (and me, and Aqua008) should have read a little further down MAHQ's FaQ page. About the faq's after the image one you find this:

Q: Would you send me files? A: Sorry, we don't have time to send anyone files. If you want images that are on the site, feel free to take them. If you're asking for reviews, don't even bother.

Note the part in bold- they are practically begging the public to make use of the images. That combined with an allready established fairuse use for the UC era ships- obtained from the same site as the CE ships- should cement our case for keeping them. TomStar81 05:14, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Well, that should put it to rest. But if worst comes to worst, I can upload screenshots (like I've done for ships where I couldn't find lineart at the time, or in one case because the only one I could find was on Gundam Official, which specifically says not to re-use their images on other websites), which are specifically listed here on Wikipedia as an exampe of fair use images. Redxiv 07:08, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • I noticed one of the pictures you uploaded for the CE vessels was a screenshot. In cases where the picture is a screenshot, you can use the templete {screenshot} to produce a copyright tag for it. TomStar81 02:34, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      • Thanks. I'll remember that if and when I get around to making entries for the smaller Earth Alliance naval ships. It'd probably be a combined entry, since there's so very little info on them that I've seen (basically just observations of them on-screen). Redxiv 00:16, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Links between Iraq and Al-Qaeda

Could you please vote on the proposed move Links between Iraq and Al-Qaeda → Alleged links between pre-invasion Iraq and Al-Qaeda? The vote is here. I am opposed to the move since "alleged" is POV and prejudges the evidence. Thanks. ObsidianOrder 11:50, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gundam deletion debates

Hey -- BTW, although I disagree with you about the ideal result of all these, I think there's something seriously wrong with having many small-group deletion debates, like Brian Crawford has been doing. Basically, he's set it up so that we get to have 20 general debates instead of ONE general debate, on the premise that a general debate about only 5 articles is better than a general debate about 100. I totally disagree. I wish I could make this point well, but I really can't because I don't know the Gundam world that well. Surely some of these group nominations include more major robots with some minor ones? I just don't know which are which, but I wish someone would point that out. Mangojuice 19:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I agree that splitting them apart for what's clearly a single debate is silly. I get the impression that Crawford thinks he's more likely to succeed that way. That he'll be able to get one of his clusters deleted, then use that as precedent for the rest. As for which are major and which are minor, the Windams and the ones with "Dagger" in their name tend to be "grunt" machines, while the ones with "Gundam" in their names are usually piloted by major heroes and villains of the series. Redxiv 19:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I've changed my vote to keep on the basis of this bogus grouping. Interesting about the Windham/Dagger/Gundam distinction, but that doesn't quite imply a difference in overall importance. Feel free to alert me if any more groups come up and I'll vote similarly... normally, I might consider that vote stacking, but in this case, it's really all one big debate. Mangojuice 19:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Do you have something you need to say to me? If so, leave it on my talk page and quit cluttering AfD with questions about my contributions and motives. AfD isn't the place to air personal differences. Apparently, cartoon robots mean the world to you. To me, they mean nothing. I doubt we'll agree on how important they are. I'm going to keep nominating these articles as I see fit. You can choose to work with me, and discuss merging or transwiki, or you can choose to make snide comments that have nothing to do with the nominations. Either way, there's a time and place for both, and AfD isn't the place to discuss me personally. Brian G. Crawford 01:24, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

  • If they "mean nothing" to you, why is it so important to remove them? To stroke your ego by declaring things you personally find uninteresting to be irrelevant to everyone? Redxiv 01:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CE

Dear Redxiv,

With all the deleteing going on, we would like your help in trying to preserve these MS articles. Would you mind joining WP:CE. - Plau 10:37, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Reply on my talk anyway.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Core Splendor.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Core Splendor.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 01:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
