[edit] HI varco

Thanks for the additions you made to the pages I started on de_train and de_cbbl. I shall complete them when I have more time on my hands, as you may well know, being a student is damned time consuming!

Hope to here from you soon!

Hello User Varco. You have a link to 'bass' on your user page. It is ambiguous. Do you mean it to point to 'bass guitar'? I thought I'd point it out to you rather than change it. Brequinda 07:49, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Schnell Fenster

Varco, why have you queried whether the Wikipedia should have a page on the band Schnell Fenster? If you'd followed the links you'd see that Schnell Fenster was an important chapter in the history of New Zealand and Australian music. You didn't give your reasons for questioning whether SF were notable on the discussion page for that page. Without you explaining your reasons, it looks more like vandalism than serious editorial comment. Could you please explain? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.176.151.208 (talk • contribs).

I've replied on the Schnell Fenster talk page --Varco 15:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of 'green wikipedians' category

Hi. I saw you're (like me) listed in this category which is up for deletion. Hoped you'd like to vote in favor of keeping it... Thanks! Larix 02:30, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Counter-Strike maps

• You're correct... I guess my tinkering instinct got the better of me. I had changed the template on quite a few articles, and some of them indeed have more than one "infraction" in the title, meaning they should be left with {{wrongtitle}}. I missed the underscores somehow, sorry. Regards, GregorB 20:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• Thanks for creating those new CS maps! I'm not sure if you did this intentionally, but thanks for following the template of "The Map", "Criticisms", "Uniqueness" that I created. I think that is the best way to represent the information. I was going to create articles for cs_estate, but I'm glad someone else had the time to do it. Also, I wanted to add pictures to cs_italy and cs_assault, but I didn't know how/didn't want to bothering to figure it out. Good job in taking care of all of this. Additionally, the infoboxes are a great idea! I guess I'll add the de_survivor map now.--R6MaY89 22:44, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Question about images for CS Maps. This site has some great screenshots of the maps. The site itself is copyrighted, but the images belong to the game developers, right? If so, is it legal to lift these images off the site and upload them to WP:Special:Contributions? It is obvious that the site owners went through a lot of trouble to find the best places to take images, so I'd like to be able to use them on our map pages.

• Thanks. I responded — Talk:Fy_iceworld.

[edit] UB userbox

Hello Varco. Just wanting to say many thanks for the UB userbox code. I appreciate it. Elektrik Blue 82 22:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Counter-StrikeMap

Just an idea for the infobox, do you think "introduced in" and "retired in" fields would be nice? So we know when a map enters into the official counter-strike map cycle, and when they're removed. Obviously for maps like fy_iceworld, they wouldn't be needed, but I think it'd be quite good for the official maps. - Hahnchen 04:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that would be a great idea! I've always thought the infobox needed more substance, but I couldn't think of what to put in it. --Varco 19:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Counter-Strike Maps

Did you read Aaron Brenneman's closing statement? There's clearly consensus to at least merge the articles. Also, it's not a vote. --Rory096 06:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

A merge to elsewhere (like an article just for these maps) would work, too. --Rory096 06:54, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello. *note regular editor hat being worn* I'm here to attempt to pre-empt what I think might be an acrimonious series of exchanges. I've left an almost identical message on Rory096's talk as well.

• A lot of work has been put into this series of articles. Despite the concerns I raised in the close, a lot of it is good work. This can be acknowledged while still disagreeing over other issues.
• There are some structural challenges to the proposed merge. A ruthless application of the reliable source guideline will make some of that go away, but not all.
• Whatever we say, strength of numbers does count for something, and experiance shows that video games are one area where it often counts a lot. This should not be allowed to trump policies and guidelines.

We all want the same thing: The best encyclopedia we can produce. So let's focus first on the things we agree on, and work from there. Happy, harmonius editing will surely follow!

[edit] Foolish consistency

I removed the "move to Wikisource" tag as the text has existed at s:Self-Reliance since 2003. The article you tagged begins: Ralph Waldo Emerson's work named Self-Reliance states that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of the little minds". Following the wiki-link to WP's article on Self-Relience shows a box stating that Wikisource has the original text. I would really appreciate if in the future you would undertake this small amount of research before tagging things to be Transwikied. Thank you for your diligence.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 16:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the apology. I hate to make an issue of such things, but I do not know a better way to educate well-meaning people such as yourself.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 16:42, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re Poor man's Bible

Thanks, Varco

[edit] AfD de_chateau

Just wanted to let you know that one of our CS maps is up for deletion. I'm not sure why they're picking on this one, but here's the link Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/De_chateau David Bergan 15:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another AfD on the CS Maps

Thanks for your input on the last one, this is getting sickening, but the vote is against us right now. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Counter-Strike_maps David Bergan 21:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD on Individual Counter-Strike maps

Just wanted to inform you of Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Individual_Counter-Strike_maps (July 17, 2006). I'm alerting everyone who had more than 2 edits in one of the previous AfDs. Kind regards, David Bergan 19:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:Cite#What to do when a reference link "goes dead"

Thanks for that, I didn't know. - brenneman ^{L} 04:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Could you please help protect this article from unfair deletionists?

Hi Varco! I found you through Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians. I was hoping if you can lend me a helping hand with International Institute of Management article. On August 10 an unknown person marked it for deletion. Then a group of 4 deletionists gave a delete vote claiming non-notability. Inspite of the fact that nn is not an official reason for deletion, I provided a clear evidence of notability and verifiable references and won a stong keep vote from Ephilei (another inclusionist). However, my concern is that we are only 3 votes against 6 votes . Therefore, I kindly ask you to check the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/International_Institute_of_Management (if it is too long you can check keep-comments). I’m not asking for anything more than an ethical vote. I’m willing to return the favor and review a similar articles. Every keep vote counts, please help! Miro.gal

[edit] Removal of messages from talk page

I would appreciate it if you would not remove messages from other users from my talk page, even if you disagree with them. Thank you. --Varco 17:56, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I removed mass-canvassing by User:Miro.gal to a large number of users, many of whom are no longer editing Wikipedia. Canvassing hurts Wikipedia for many reasons. If you object to this reverting, I welcome your praticipation at the relevant AN/I thread [1]. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-08-13 22:49Z

[edit] Please help

Hi! I got your username from the Association Inclusionist Wikipedians. I'm trying to work against a band of linkocrites (see en:User:cochese8). You look as if you're a valuable editor and I could really use some help [preserving] a great link. I would ask you to review the discussion and vote keep if you agree with the link's value. Thanks for your help! Cochese8 00:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editor restored possible copyright violation to Carman (singer)

An editor (User:JNeal -- talk -- Contrib) has restored text you deleted from Carman (singer) on the basis of copyright violation. Could you check to see if the restored text violates the copyright and inform the editor if it does? Please note that JNeal restored only one paragraph.
