[edit] Zelda

I have a question for you. I saw the WikiProject about Zelda and I was wondering if anyone is allowed to join and help out. If so, could I? I love the Zelda series and would really like to help make it's Wiki articles better and more organized. --Superneoking 22:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Sure! Just go to Wikipedia:WikiProject The Legend of Zelda series and add yourself under 1.4, participants. :) Scepia 22:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. :) --Superneoking 22:32, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zelda Articles

Hi. I've responded on my talkpage. And for an example of what I did with the boss page see here: [1]. Furthur details on User talk:Megaman Zero -ZeroTalk 22:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the support

Thank you for supporting my m:Medical dictionary wiki. It'll probably go nowhere, since no one wants to be liable for it. Oh well... I guess this'll be one topic not influenced by the wiki. —THIS IS MESSEDImage:R with umlaut.pngOCKER (TALK) 21:46, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Humour

I did read the talk page after you wrote there, (I even replied), however, I still think that the spelling should reflect the title; having disparate spellings hinders rather than helps Wikipedia by being less clear and being less professional ('look at this so-called encyclopedia, they don't even know which spelling to use in this article'), and changing the text as you did didn't give any benefits (that I could see).

If the title were 'humor' rather than 'humour' then of course it would be spelled like that throughout; however this needs consensus to change (and does it give any extra benefit to users anyway?). In any case, I will make sure the article does stay consistant throughout myself --iamajpeg 17:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, an intelligent conversation sounds great to me :) . By what I said before, what I meant was that I assume you want to move the whole article to 'humor' (right?) , which is why I put about the consensus - if you propose to move it based on the fact the first main contributor used Am English then I definitely wouldn't vote against this, but if you do it without a vote or something there'll be all sorts of revert-horrorshows. But until then spellings should be consistent within the article in Eng English (see here)
Also we obviously know English in different ways - please understand (as I said on the talk page) that humour does make more sense to me then humor, and I think the same probably applies to other people, ie those who are Eng English speakers. Both language variants have bits that make less sense to the other, so hey it's not as if there's a best variant (that would make things easier though!). And sorry if I'm missing your point completely --iamajpeg 22:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

That's very interesting, and yes the benefits could be massive - although I doubt many people would accept it. As far as Wikipedia goes, editors like me wouldn't accept reformed English yet because it's not an accepted, standardised widespread use of English. One thing, why 'humor'? As far as I know, most people pronounce it with an 'er' sound, so why not 'humer'? And how do you standardise spellings for a language with so many existing pronounciations anyway? --iamajpeg 20:50, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Legend of Zelda Categories

As someone who has previously voted or commented at the recent CfD discussion about the naming of Legend of Zelda categories, I thought I would let you know that I have started a new discussion in an attempt to reach a consensus. The current position of having 2 sets of categories serving the exact same purpose is unsustainable, and we need to reach a consensus on which set should be removed. If you have previously voted on this proposal, I would ask you to reconsider your vote, and ask yourself whether you are willing to give a little ground in order to reach a compromise. This is a generic message I am leaving for everyone who took part in the previous discussion. Thank you for your time. Road Wizard 14:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Further to my comment above, I am letting you know that Proposal 1 (merging all game sub-categories) has been successful, and I will be relisting it at CfD later today. Of the renaming proposals, only option 7 appears to have gained a consensus in support. However, I am going to leave that discussion open a few more days as we have had a related proposal (No. 11) that has not yet been discussed. Please use this time to consider whether you wish to support or oppose the new proposal, or in any way change your previous votes. I will be reassessing the situation at about 18:00, 6 July 2006 (UTC). Road Wizard 19:36, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Stub template

Now that I think about it... no. Sorry, I thought it needed a design to be nominated. If you want to delete it, feel free. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 08:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I was sure there was a proposal being processed. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 08:22, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Was a stub ever filed for that project, they have it listed there. Hey Fanboy ;) Highway Rainbow Sneakers 08:33, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Was there never a note on the project page to nominate a stub. I never added the link, it was there to start with. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 08:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Do you need a certain amount of articles? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 08:54, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes. I think the only use it could be used for is as a section template, since most of the articles are lists. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 09:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ps3 rating

no details why ps3 is "top" or "b-rated".


[edit] Current mac project collaboration

The current WP:MAC collaboration is Apple II family. Please devote some time to improve this article to featured status. — Wackymacs 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well, talking is not working as you can see

It's clear that some people are refusing the accept the fact that The US flag does NOT represent North America. This is pure discrimination, that alone is against Wikipedia rules, on top of everything else if I may add.

Added a reply on my talk page, just letting you know

[edit] Wii

The reason I reverted that is because the current design is the one used in almost every video game article (whether you like it or not), and there isn't a consensus to change it (how you think a consensus can be reached in less than 1 day is beyond me). Also, the look you changed it do is the ugliest infobox design i've ever seen. TJ Spyke 00:49, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

1)It just about doubled the length of the infobox. 2)It was just plain ugly. I prefer flags, but I change it to symbols like the Final Fantasy pages use (check Final Fantasy X). This is more neutral, and has links to articles on the region to make it clear. TJ Spyke 00:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
It's better than the option you had (which you made without consensus, at least the one I made has the approval of WP:CVG). Also, all they have to do is move their mouse over it to see what page it links to since those are all links (i.e. ITL links to Italy). TJ Spyke 01:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
It HAD flags, but you wanted to make it butt ugly and this is the better option.

[edit] Linkspam

I noticed that you added a link to an outside Zelda site to The Legend of Zelda: The Triforce Trilogy. This is linkspam. Don't do it, it will only get reverted and get you blocked. Scepia 06:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

It was a reference being re-added because the url of that page had changed.

[edit] Zelda: TP

"moved back" implies that the GC version was delayed. The previous release date from Nintendo was December 13th, so it was moved UP. TJ Spyke 03:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
