[edit] Moving of 11001001
I really don't know why you move this article. Yeah, I know there probably won't be an article with that name, but all the other trek articles - for sake of staying consistant with eachother - all contained "EPISODE NAME(SHOW episode)" in their titles. It helped distinguish them as Trek articles, so if anything else happened to use that name no one would trash the page (for being a stupid trek article) and replaced by some other crap. So, unless of course you moved others around which I haven't found yet, I ask that you please not move them anymore. It screws everything up and makes endless redirects when other articles link back to it. I ask you to see about moving it back as well to (TNG episode) like it was, which now requires an admin's redirect since it's screwed up now. Thanks Cyberia23 08:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] b:WB:RFA
Hello Furrykef. I just wanted to let you know that we have created a new policy on en.wikibooks that asks all admins who have been inactive for a year or more to return their admin tools. This is not supposed to be a punishment of any sort, we are only trying to clean house a little bit, and take stock of our resources. If you do not plan on returning to wikibooks, we ask that you give up your admin tools there. If you do plan on coming back, we would be happy to have you.
PS. I see that you are interested in videogames. Unfortunately, at en.wikibooks, it has been decided that videogame manuals and strategy guides do not belong there. If you would like to steal some of these guides before they get deleted ( a slow process so far), you are more then welcome!
Let me know if you have any questions or comments, on my wikibooks talk page: b:User talk:Whiteknight --User:Wknight8111 (WB:Whiteknight) 18:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Musical acoustics
Hi. There is an argument currently being had about the article Musical acoustics, and given that you're an active editor that's at least looked over it a little, I was wondering if you'd be willing to comment on the discussion at Talk:Musical acoustics.
Specifically I was attempting to remove a segment of the article which I feel is irrelevant, misleading, POV, and poorly written. I also find that the user who initially added this section (and is currently engaged in the argument) has been inserting material from his own research into many wikipedia articles, including this one. (Searching wikipedia for "greenwych.ca" and checking changes history will find a plethora of links added by this author to his own website.) There is a lot of text on the talk page right now, but I think the most relevant comments are under the heading: Talk:Musical acoustics#Please comment on the "Evolution of the diatonic scale" section. I would greatly appreciate another voice on this matter. - Rainwarrior 08:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: your edit to Sierra Entertainment ("Abandonware")
As of today, per the recent changes to the DMCA, some Abandonware is legal:
- Computer programs and video games distributed in formats that have become obsolete and which require the original media or hardware as a condition of access. A format shall be considered obsolete if the machine or system necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format is no longer manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace. [1]
Cheers. -- Jordi·✆ 09:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- You left out the phrase "when circumvention is accomplished for the purpose of preservation or archival reproduction of published digital works by a library or archive." I have my doubts that abandonware sites fall under this heading. I could be wrong, but we need to be sure before putting up abandonware links. - furrykef (Talk at me) 11:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lupin III Episode Titles
Instead of just deleting the titles of the episodes which provide useful information (like what each episode is about), couldn't you have just created an entry for each TV series and moved the titles there? It took me quite a while to add the titles to the article for them to be instantly gone with a select all + delete! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.43.82.18 (talk) 05:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
- Well, the list by itself provides little information. If we are to expand them by providing episode-specific information, we can indeed move them to their own articles. Is that what you wish to do? If so, it would be simple for me to restore the lists at the appropriate places. I could also do that in a section of the Talk page if anybody else might want to. But if nobody's willing to do it, then I doubt the lists belong anywhere. - furrykef (Talk at me) 07:02, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- I would help put up synopses for individual episodes on each shows page, but with 225 episodse, I can't do them all on my own. It would be nice if a few people helped out too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.43.82.18 (talk) 02:23, 2 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Lupin III Citation Needed
I noticed that you brought back the "citation needed" tag to the Lupin III page. However, there is not a single sentence in the page that is tagged as needing citation. I am not sure people know what information they need to look up for citation when nothing has been tagged as needing citation. I guess the action to take would be to either remove the citation needed tag from the article or keep it but tag the parts of the article where citation is needed so that people may look up the necessary information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.217.175.129 (talk) 17:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
- It's not really a matter of what parts need citation; that can be left up to discretion. It's that all Wikipedia articles need sources. If there aren't enough references, then it gets tagged, regardless of how many "citation needed" tags there are. Indeed, that tag has been around on Wikipedia longer than the whole "citation needed" thing. Anyway, I think a good start would be noting which episodes and which manga a given 'fact' can be found in. For instance, it says Jigen has a 0.3-second quick-draw, but where did we find that information? I don't want to tag "citation needed" on everything like that because it would clutter up the article, because not every single thing really needs citation, and it would look like I'm doubting that Jigen can do such a quick-draw, when all I want to know is where this information was discovered. - furrykef (Talk at me) 19:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Survey Invitation
Hi there, I am a research student from the National University of Singapore and I wish to invite you to do an online survey about Wikipedia. To compensate you for your time, I am offering a reward of USD$10, either to you or as a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. For more information, please go to the research home page. Thank you. --WikiInquirer 03:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)talk to me
[edit] Perforce Jam
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Perforce Jam, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- I sent it to AfD on the grounds that I'm not sure whether it should be deleted or not. - furrykef (Talk at me) 21:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have given my opinion on the AfD as well. Thanks for sending it there, much better than what most people do with a ProD (removing the prod without any comment or improvement). We'll see what the other editors think about it... Fram 21:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
