[edit] Metroid Prime#Phazon

I moved it to the top as a "Main article:" - do you think this is an appropriate compromise? The style gets used elsewhere for things like this. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 02:45, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

It's fine. I'm satisfied - all I wanted was to have a link at the bottom or top of the page instead of one in the middle of a body of text.

[edit] your apology

Don't worry about it - you didn't step out of line. I replied at Talk:Metroid Prime. I see you edit a lot of video game articles, so I expect I'll bump into you a lot; see you around! (The timestamp on this isn't aligned with the one on the MP talk page - the servers ate it when I first replied a few hours ago somehow.) -- stillnotelf has a talk page 06:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NONSENSE???

WHo are you and why do you call someone else's efforts nonsense? Why would a brand new article be deleted. It was good, this is nonsense, no wonder this place has bad press just now. This is like a small town, with bullies.

--

I am assuming that you are WikipediaGrrl. A brand new article would be deleted because it met the criteria for deletion. A small town with bullies? No, it's an encyclopedia with rules. And you broke them by creating that article.

It was advertising. It broke the Neutral Point of View policy. It had no meaningful content. It was about a self proclaimed "artistic genious".

The article was nothing more than an incoherent attempt to get people to visit an artist's site. It broke the rules, end of story.

Despite what you might think, this isn't a playground - Wikipedia has it's rules. Rules that your article broke. And so that article was deleted. Because it was nonsense. Therefore breaking the rules.

END. OF. STORY.

The article was deleted. By an administrator. Because it broke the rules.

Go to criteria for speedy deletion and I'm sure you will realize why your article was deleted - it filled nearly all of those criteria.

Oh, and by the way, in answer to your "who are you" question, I'm a user who knows and respects the rules, a far cry from yourself.

Also, all I did was mark it for possible violation of the rules. I didn't delete it - an administrator did. Go bitch about it to them - I'm sure you'll find that they're in a much more advantageous position to tell you of the rules than I am.

[edit] Regarding JagadishKumar GandhiMurthy

Thanks for the note! It looks like someone managed to keep it deleted while I was sleeping. If it continues to come back, we can put up a {{deletedpage}} and protect it. HorsePunchKid 2005-12-06 19:45:48Z

[edit] WP:BITE

Hi, I noticed your message to User:TimmySwan34 re Timothy Swanson was a bit harsh - do bear in mind WP:BITE (don't bite the newbies). Regards, Rd232 talk 23:47, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry... I kinda went overboard. I'll edit it so it's not so harsh.

[edit] Chuck norris

Howdy, and quick work spotting the Chuck norris page. I took the liberty of removing the speedy notice and redirecting it to Chuck Norris, since it is not a bad redirect to have. Just wanted to keep you in the loop. Keep fighting the good fight. --Hansnesse 20:07, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. Thanks - I like patrolling newpages, and I have extensive training with the W-16 Deletebecuase-template rifle. >_> I also prefer the Wikietta 92FS Nonsense-tag sidearm. ... yeeeeeaaaah. You're all gonna hurt me for saying such a punny thing now, aren't you...

It's nice getting some recodnition ^_^. -Jetman123 20:11, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smiley

Thanks, appreciate it. Nufy8 07:25, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Substitution

Please substitute the templates you add to a user talk page by adding subst: before the tag ( {{subst:test1}} instead of {{test1}} ). This adds the text directly from the template rather than loading the template every time the page is viewed. Also, it isn't really necessary to add your username to a template if it doesnt use it, I've seen you do a few of those on welcome templates and such. Good luck, and happy reverting! -Mulder416 08:58, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I didn't know about that. I'll try and remember to use subst: from now on. Thanks ^_^ -Jetman123 08:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for your kind words! No fireworks lying around, but some beer would go down a treat! Nach0king 09:25, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Now if only I could invent a teleportation system. -Jetman123 10:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dawn of War

Yeah – certainly didn't mean to delete your edits. Just a side-effect of us both editing the page at the same time. Cheers --Pak21 12:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's ok.

I don't want to hurt you. Even if I did, I have no idea where you live, and we are on the internet. ;)--Fox Mccloud 20:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Whew. Remember, I'm a

[edit] Wikipedia:Ignore all rules

Hi. There's been a consensus that WP:IAR should be kept as simple as possible. The trouble with elaborating on the basic phrasing, we've found, is that then people come along and elaborate on the elaborations and before long you have some kind of monstrosity that no-one will read. Also, I have an instant dislike to anything that leads in to an lengthy elaboration of a simple, pithy phrase by saying 'in short', but that's just the editor in me. --Nick Boalch ?!? 12:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Addressing the reader directly

You are correct that this is not appropriate article styling (as in WP:MOS). However I really disagree with placing such intrusive and excessive warning boxes at the start of an article as your way of expressing that. Frankly it borders on disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. Please leave serious issues to the article tags, and leave other problems, like this one, to the talk pages. Remy B 14:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I would do it myself if I had time, but instead I stumbled on several articles with excessive use of the word "you" rather than "the player" and simply added a divbox to the top of the page asking editors to change it. I hardly see how that is disruptive of the article, encyclopedia, or other users, let alone to make a point. It's a notice and a request, nothing more.

Regardless, perhaps it should go on the talk page. But what's the point of having a template like divbox when there's no reason to use them? If someone notices something amiss about the article, why not put a custom notice at the top? -Jetman123 14:34, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Because it is a huge overreaction - it makes the article terribly ugly and discredited for the sake of a small wording grievance. I dont really know how else to civilly explain something that simple. Remy B 14:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Renfield syndrome

A tag has been placed on Renfield syndrome, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

doesn't exist

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --sheela cariddi 08:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Renfield syndrome

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Renfield syndrome, 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). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
