Cruise ship articles while you're away..

Hi saberwyn, it is great to see you're active in the creation of cruise ship articles. I have an interest in this and have been doing it for a short while now, I will continue doing this while you have gone. It's also good to see you have made up a progress log! smart idea! contact me back --ChrisW 04:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Warhammer 40,000

You know, I was unaware of the pounds/dollars/random currency mark. Thanks for pointing that out. KyjL 05:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Images

Shouldn't we leave the caption so yuo can say whether its from anime or model and which type. We probably need just one pic at the top and then others can be added within the article Giant89

I didn't realize you had an image with both. Definately use that.

Those images are a little dark, but the content is good. You know that when we set Liger Zero's image it will be reverted every 5 seconds to a different one

I'm color fixing some of your pics that you uploaded. Check out Shadowfox as an example

More student life... images

Saberwyn,

I flagged the images with {{no source}}. That will result in their deletion in a week or so, especially since I doubt the original uploader will have any reason to put source info up now that the article got speedied. Daniel Case 17:24, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Warhammer 40,000 Temp

Hi Saberwyn, feel free to have a poke at the page - I've done some changes to it already. -localzuk 10:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that. It looks good.

On an unrelated note, instead of using a * to indent your comments, you should use ':' (and also remember to sign them - it makes it easier for archiving).-Localzuk (talk) 10:57, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The "*" is force of habit from Afd discussions, and the lack of sig was just plain sloppiness. Sorry. -- Saberwyn - The Zoids Expansion Project 11:22, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Heh. Yeah I know what you mean. I forget to sign too sometimes. Cheers anyway -Localzuk (talk) 11:25, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Of Course it's me.

Hey Saberwyn...

I see that Voiceover and Voice Actor and the likes are fairly expansive categories. Having a number of credits and even finding links to my name around Wikipedia (specifically in Zoids / Dr.D), I thought I would be okay to add myself. As apparently, this is not really a cool idea, is there anyway I can go about creating a legitimate listing? Who else submits the names of the actors?

I appreciate your heads up. Go to bat for me Saberwyn:).

Is this article worth keeping on its own? I don't know enough about Warhammer to make an informed decision, but it seems skimpy. Joyous | Talk 01:10, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

buffy afd nom

thanks for fixing that category nonsense. some templates do it automatically and i didn't think to check. thanks

Thanks for the Help and the Support

Will there be any problem if I add other credits after it's approved (hopefully)? I've got a good list I can add, but don't want to be going about it in the wrong way.

Again... I really appreciate your help with this. Thanks for watching. Daveonefourone 23:06, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

AfD

Can I ask you what exactly do you believe you have done wrong on AfD? The post on that blog exists, and it is true that AfD is a discussion and not a vote. Another editor has restored the template, for you information. - Liberatore(T) 12:27, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

My personal opinion is that you didn't do anything wrong. Contrary to what the anonymous said, the template is a warning for new editors who may have been told or may otherwise come to the conclusion that AfD is a voting. Nowhere it says "that post told you to come here and stuff the ballot". In fact, in previous cases where I saw this or a similar template used (Neil Cicierega and Shelley Powers), it was because of a post that pointed out to AfD without saying "go and vote".

Anyway, I understand you also need a break for other reasons. Happy wiki-vacation! - Liberatore(T) 12:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Please accept my embarrassingly belated thank you for supporting my RfA, which much to my surprise passed 102/1/1, earning me minor notoriety. I am grateful for all the supportive comments, and have already started doing the things poeple wanted me to be able to do. And hopefully nothing else... Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 12:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikibreak

Just a quick note (which you'll hopefully read before you go on break) to say that from my point of view, you'll be much missed if you do go on a break, and I hope you'll return if you feel recharged. Cheers --Pak21 16:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Warhammer 40,000

Hi, I have noticed that you are an active contributor to the articles regarding Warhammer 40,000. I am currently gauging support for a Warhammer 40,000 project. If you are interested, sign your name on the page. More details from my subpage. -Localzuk ^(talk) 18:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your Comment on my Question on the Scythes of the Emperor. Also, I think I have something special for you: www.lexicanum.com. This is a wiki like this, but completely on GW's stuff. I'have seen your interest in 40k, and we're searching für ambitioned writers every time.

Image copyright problem with Image:Starwars_Wraith_Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Starwars_Wraith_Logo.jpg. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 22:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

The Enslaver's Reply

Oi, Saberwyn - The Enslaver here. Sorry to barge in here, but you asked me where I got all my 40K Imperial navy info from - well, I'm not really a Warhammer fan, but I once read the book Execution Hour by Gordon Rennie, and it told me a helluva lot about the ships of the Navy. It's pretty exciting, would make a decent movie - but only if it has a few more female characters. Not enough girls in that story.

Warhammer 40,000 revert

The right thing to do. As I see it, the comment was POV ("Some people think") and therefore unless it is supported by a reference, it should go. Cheers --Pak21 09:39, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Imperial Armour update

Thanks for the IA Update info; I'll move it into the "Other Books" section sometime soon. Does the book have an author listed which we could use as well? Cheers --Pak21 11:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

That's great. Thanks --Pak21 11:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Hunter Ellis

I've put this article up for deletion review, after re-writing a stub focused much more on his non-Survivor notability as a TV host, which was then speedy deleted as a recreation of deleted content. Since you commented on the initial AFD, I thought you might want to participate in the discussion here as well. -Colin Kimbrell 17:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Random question

I have a random question regarding Wikipedia, and since I saw your userID in the recent changes, I though I might ask you. I am curious as to what type of discussion is allowed in the talk pages for articles. Is opionated discussion/debate about the subject matter allowed, or does the discussion specifically need to pertain to the context of the article itself?

Thanks for your help. Dunlevyd 09:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

RE: Random answer

Thanks for the quick response. I'm simply curious becuase I have often been told using past anonymous accounts that my comments made in talk pages were unacceptable because they had nothing to do with the article, even though they were pertinent to the subject matter (for ex. I have discussed my views about abortion in the talk page for the abortion article). Thanks for your help. --Dunlevyd 09:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

referencing

Hey, i was just wondering, if referencing a comic such as bloodquest should the illustrator be included? Lowris 21:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - just wasnt sure what to do as I had done that originally and it was reverted to just the author, much appreciated Lowris 21:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

List of songs about famous people

Thank you for sepatating the people by type. I was waiting to see if anyone disagreed with my categorizations before splitting them up. Nekura 00:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Gods

Do we want "Warhammer 40,000 Gods" or "Warhammer 40,000 gods"? Cheers --Pak21 09:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

40k articles for deletion

Deep strike should definitely go – I'll try sending it through proposed deletion, but I suspect the original author (or their sockpuppet) will contest it, so it'll have to go through AfD instead. Nerve glove I tend to agree should go as well: there's no real point merging it into the Weapons and Equipment list as it's just far too small, and if we put that in, we run the risk of putting in every single piece of equipment mentioned in every Codex ever... while we're on the subject, what do you think should happen to Chaos Terminators? Cheers --Pak21 13:59, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia survey

Hi. I'm doing a survey of Wikipedia editors as part of a class research project. It's quick, anonymous, and the data will be made available to the Wikipedia community later this month. Would you like to take part? More info here. Thanks! Nonplus 23:59, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Oops

With the huge backlog of speedys I'm trying to deal with, I seem to have missed the AfD part, sorry. Normally I don't delete speedys which have an ongoing AfD discussion. Regards, Elf-friend 12:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

CityRail Pictures

Thanks for your CityRail pictures - they are really helpful for the articles. If you can ever get Thornleigh and Normanhurst pictures (you seem to have covered the other stations in the area), that would be great. No pressure though - you're one of very few people who have contributed in this way, so that's great in itself. (JROBBO 08:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC))

Speedy delete

Regrets on not closing out that discussion. Lack of attention to detail on my part. No excuses. Thanks for the gentle reminder. Jinian 23:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Re:Ready to mobilise?

I am going to make the templates and find red links and research them to make them articles.

Tau rewrite

Go for it. It's much better than the current one. And nice stuff on the proposed format as well. Cheers --Pak21 10:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments on Guidelines

... Is that a compliment? I'll take that as a yes.

Oh yeah, and don't mind me posting my guideline suggestions link on several Wikipedia articles... if these guidelines are ever put into use, they're going to change heck of a lot and I want as many as possible to pitch in and help (I don't like carrying on enourmous tasks myself, but I love starting, suggesting, and helping.

License tagging for Image:UFOlunaparksyd.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:UFOlunaparksyd.JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 12:07, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Luna Park Sydney Images

I would like to know how best to tag the following images, after Orphanbot complained about the lack of copyright tags. I typed out the copyright information and fair use justification, as I was uncertain how to format it to conform with any of the current tags.

Image:UFOlunaparksyd.JPG (the one OrphanBot compalined about), Image:Wildmouselunaparksyd.JPG, Image:Coneyinsidelunaparksyd.JPG, Image:Midwaylunaparksyd.JPG, Image:Maloneyslunaparksyd.JPG, Image:Rotorlunaparksyd.JPG and Image:Rotormidcyclelunapraksyd.JPG. The result of this discussion will likely also apply to Image:LunaParkSydney IB.jpg.

Please reply on my talk page. -- Saberwyn 12:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

This is a somewhat complicated issue. If you accept that the images cannot be used in any commercial context, then the images cannot be used on wikipedia. The license that wikipedia uses allows redistribution commercially, and it is often actually done, by about.com and other groups. For this reason images that are specifically non-commercial are excluded from wikipedia. The issue I would have more is in regards to whether this policy they have is important. From what I understand these images were taken by you, so your obligation to uphold their policy is very dubious to me. This is further confused by the fact that you are in Australia, and I really have very little knowledge about their laws in this area. I am going to ask around though, so expect some updates here soon. - cohesion 19:13, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I figure I'll ask...

...did you do any research on the drinking games before just AfDing en masse? --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 13:11, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Per your question, on 90% of those AfDs, I've linked exactly which book(s) list the games. So I hope you'll reconsider them, because this is silly. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 01:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Ride articles

Heh, I'm not deliberately following you around honest ;) Thanks for your good work. --ericthefish 11:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Campaigns

There's no need to apologise, and I have no problem with any such moving of Campaign articles, as long as they are all moved in the same way. Grimhelm 06:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Going Nuts

Um, you really want someone to just grab a camera and fix this problem like a militant musslim trying to go to battle? (Referring to pictures for 40k articles)

No sir. I demand the best quality only.

Besides, I don't think it would hurt any of 'em to put in at least 1 picture from Games Workshop every so articles. Colonel Marksman 17:48, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• I was thinking of something similar. I am personally friends with the owner of a local Games Workshop store, with painters who have won national competitions and paint just as well as the 'Eavy Metal team (e.g. 4 months on an Ultramarine Land Raider, 4 hours of work almost every day).
• I'm planning on going over there and taking pictures. (I doubt they would mind, since how their models would be featured on Wikipedia.) Colonel Marksman 21:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• I just had a thought. I'm here to help Wikipedia, not to vandilise or get glory. I can honestly say that my models would only screw with the pages, not help them. Therefore, you won't be seeing any of my models on the pages and you won't see me going nuts.
• I will, however, sketch more "realistic" pictures, (so not models) if that's acceptable. Colonel Marksman 17:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

We'll Miss You!

Bye-bye Captain Flowers! I will always remember your buttery goodness! - Caboose from Red vs Blue Halo skits.

Anyway, what happened to the Caidan planet re-write? You make it already? Colonel Marksman 17:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Land Raider

Absolutely fine. I should probably try and read paragraphs a bit more... Cheers --Pak21 13:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Hornsby Station Photo

Hi saberwyn, before you leave, would you be able to get a photo of the dock platform at the Asquith end of Hornsby station? Its going to be demolished on the Long Weekend (10-12 June) and it would be worth including for the article. Let me know if you can't do it. (JROBBO 06:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC))

Thanks so much - the dock platform is at the Asquith end of platform 4 (the one next to the bus interchange). You may not be able to get to take a picture of it from platform 4, but I'm pretty sure that you can take one from the Asquith end of platform 3. It is made of bricks (unlike the rest of the platform), and I think is partially surrounded by a fence... not sure about that. If you look at the photo you have already taken at Hornsby, and standing in that exact spot, turn around and look at the other side of the station you would probably see it. Hope that helps! (JROBBO 02:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC))

No - that's not it - perhaps I have got the platform numbers mixed up, but I thought that the platform you are standing on in that photo is platform 1 (the platform on the far left when facing towards the city is usually numbered 1 in most CityRail stations). If you have a look at this photo (here you will see the four platforms. The dock platform is on the far right of this shot, just off the camera. If you stand at the far end of this platform (which I thought was platform 4, but it seems to be platform 1) and look around you'll see a brick-lined square pit type thing, which is the dock platform. It's actually part of the platform - have a look and you should find it. Your shot is too far up the line towards Asquith. Sorry. (JROBBO 13:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC))

No worries if you can't do it - a pity, because it is historic, but it was worth a try anyway. Thanks for your effort. (JROBBO 13:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC))

Important before you go

Still several days before you leave, but one important thing I see is a suggested merge wtih my guidelines and yours.

BTW, did everyone just simply scorn my guidelines and pretend they're not there? Colonel Marksman 17:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• 2 things. I guess I didn't understand "too much". No different than what you wrote.
• What I mean by union and not confederation. A Confederation has states (or districts) that do their own thing completely different from one another. The only relation they have to one another is a weak government and common laws. A Union, on the other hand, has all the states running under a strong government that directly oversees the unity of the states. Thus, the "United States of America".

• Point being, we have "Dark Eldar editors", "Tyrand editors", "40k Planet editors", and etc. I'm calling these the "states". We are here, and we are under a WikiProject, but we are all off doing our own thing with no relation except that they are under the same topic. I'm not suggesting we all work everywhere (as you said, you only have certain White Dwarf magazines and you don't care for Dark Eldar), I'm suggesting we simply work together. Right now, we're not. We're "states" working for "states", not the "country" as a whole. IOW, we're editing to the good of the "articles", not the "Warhammer 40,000 section of Wikipedia".

• A team of 5 can beat 5 individuals in any basketball game. I'm saying we're better as a team, not individuals.
