[edit] Conversation with EVula

If it isn't explicit, it is original research. Not too much leeway in this. The storylines from the other games have not been covered; at the most, the games up to Mortal Kombat 3 have been covered; that leaves three major games (MK4, Deadly Alliance, and Deception) whose storyline could be used.
At any rate, I've cleaned up your recent edit. Hopefully this will be the end of this stupid edit war. EVula 16:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Indeed, I only did a minor grammar edit, but I like it now.
Peace

D'oh! Good catch. Now we can just sit back and hope that the movie actually happens, and is a hell of a lot better than the second one! ;-) EVula 18:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Anyway, there was another thing about the article you should notice: References #4, #5 and #6 haven't been updated in a long time and the information from them seems to be no longer valid (plus reference #5 has information that was proven to be false, such as Stacey Dash as Tanya). So, I say we remove those references and the information regarding the cast and the crew that comes from those sources (basically remove Sandra Hess from the possible cast and Christopher Morrison from the Crew).

What do you think?

PS.: As for the quality of the movie, I don't think it can be worse than the second one even if the producers go out of their way to make it bad. Wesborland 19:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uruguay WikiProject

Hello and thank you very much for inviting me. I can help certainly with the geographical articles. - Darwinek 20:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the project then. All you have to do is add your name to the list and you are in. Currently, since the project has a grand total of 6 members, we are going through a recruiting process: invite any user you think might be interested in collaborating with this project. If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to ask. Wesborland 21:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I see that you are involved with project tagging. I have a bot that can do the task if you are intrested. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 05:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
With reguard to my bot you can give me a list of categories and I can have my bot put your project banner on the top of all of the talk pages Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 15:01, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

may I ask what template you use? Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 20:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, these are all the templates the project has. Wesborland 21:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
found it {{UruguayProject}} was what I was looking for. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 15:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article

You didnot work your ass off, you simply copied it from official website and inserted couple wikilinks to make it look better. See WP:CSD#General_criteria #12. Renata 22:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

The information was not copyright protected, it's not fair. How am I supposed to write an article from scratch if I can't quote sources? Wesborland 22:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
The website at the bottom says "Copyright © 2006 PODER LEGISLATIVO" You are supposed to re-word and re-phrase what you find on such sites and not copy & paste everything word for word. Also, you are supposed to use multiple sources and not just one website. Renata 01:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Plaza-Independencia.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Plaza-Independencia.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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:

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. 23:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A question about pictures you uploaded

Hi, I saw you uploaded a couple of nice pictures which are, in my opinion, a great contribution to Uruguayan articles here at Wikipedia, and while I consider their quality to be remarkable, I still have my doubts about them. I wonder if you actually did take those pictures, and in case you did, why you didn't choose to upload a higher resolution version of both of them. In case they are actually copyrighted, it would be much better to upload non copyrighted ones, or at least change their tags to reflect their real situation. Jordevi 02:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Please be more specific. I am heavily involved with the project and I have uploaded several pictures lately. I didn't take any of them, though, but they are not copyright-protected as far as I'm concerned. Wesborland 02:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, there's no need to do that, if you say you didn't take them. In any case, you'd better change their tag. Jordevi 02:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal

I see you started it out a bit already. I'm in uni, so I was going to wait until this weekend when I had free time to get started on that. So, probably on Sunday I'll finish with what ever there is left to put on there. Bye.--Jersey Devil 01:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal Yorugua

Hi, and thanks for the invitation. I'm currently quite busy watching Argentina-related articles, plus I'm going through the traumatic experience of moving-out, so I don't have much time left for Uruguay. Nevertheless, if you need help or an Admin hand, don't hessitate to contact me. Good wiking, Mariano(t/c) 08:16, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uruguay

Hi, can I write in spanish here, I dont know, I am beginning to participate in Wikipedia in spanish as I am uruguayan as you are. That is why I ocasionally enter in the pages in English to compare or to correct the spanish version. I don't have much time to do both. English and spanish, but perhaps I do something without entering officialy in the group. --Beaire 17:05, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

You can. Although if you have any doubts about a user's nationality I suggest you write in English (same goes for projects, there might be users that speak different languages there). If interested, you can join the project and I can help you with yoru contributions if you have any problems with the translation.

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Gardelbirthcertificate.gif

An image that you uploaded, Image:Gardelbirthcertificate.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Cats and Dogs Portals

Hi, Wesborland. If you can offer some tips on the respective portal talk pages about how to improve Cats and Dogs up to "featured" quality, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rfrisbietalk 17:52, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gracias por la invitación

Agradezco tu invitación a incorporarme al proyecto. Mi manejo del inglés solo me permite traducir, la creación de textos "de cero" en inglés me es muy dificultosa y estresante.... Si eso puede servir para algo, como hago para unirme? saludos --Shant-es 20:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi partner and country fellow! How do you do? I noticed you were asking other users to join the Uruguay-related articles project. Unfortunately I'm busy and trying to arrange my time in order to study and prepare for my exams at College. Anyway, if you like to, you can have a look at my user page in "wikipedia en español". As you would see, my interests are fully concerned with Uruguayan geography, literature, and some other stuff. I've also transalted some articles into English, but there is nothing else I can do by the moment. Well, I gotta go now. Nice to meet or, at least, to talk to you. Greetings, --Gustave - May I help you? 00:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC) P.S: ¡Vamos arriba los manyas! :P

[edit] Rubén Rada

Hi Wesborland - would you consider reverting that change to the Rubén Rada page, about the accents? A while back I went to Rada's official site to see whether he himself uses an accent or not, and found that he doesn't when his name is written in all caps, but does include the accent in sentence case writing. check it out: www.rada.com.uy, and click on Historia. Thanks, 21:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

My mistake, I'll revert the edit and just make Ruben Rada a redirection page. --Wesborland 23:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
