I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. --Joe Jklin (T C) 07:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About Ranma 1/2 characters articles
I've seen you've been adding to and writing new articles for the Ranma 1/2 section and while I appreciate your enthusiasm, you have to remember that sometimes, less is more (concerning your habit of stuffing the template with as many information, most of it dubious, as you can). Also, you should consider which characters deserve their own page and which ones don't, that's why the minor characters page was created. Finally, a good article must be neutral, most of your statements or the information you've added seems biased or only you own opinion on the character which is nothing but fancruft and you really should avoid that. - Facer 23:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About Template:Final Fantasy character
I noticed you added a couple of parameters to the usage notes. At first I thought it was just the documentation was insufficient, but as far as I can tell, there's nothing in the templated of that kind. Are you trying to modify the template to include those parameters or what? In my oppinion, they don't really belong there. I'll revert the edit for now as it says you can do something with the template that you actually can't. - Fx21 20:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kingdom Hearts related stuff
I've already talked to User:SoundPound500000 about this but maybe it's a good idea to inform you too:
I understand your enthusiasm for writing Kingdom Hearts related articles, but sometimes, it's better to just let it go. Please be aware of what Wikipedia is not, specifically in this case, a game guide, FAQ, or maybe a smoldering piece of fancruft. If a page already exists, contribute to that, rather than creating a new one. Also, try to think about who is going to read the article. Is someone who hasn't played Kingdom Hearts II going to care about it? Is someone who has already played Kingdom Hearts II going to care about it if they already know? Things like this are more appropriate for an FAQ at GameFAQs or at some Kingdom Hearts-specific wiki. I love Kingdom Hearts just as much as you but things like that don't belong on a general purpose encyclopedia like Wikipedia. Axem Titanium 23:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uploading an Image
Hello User:Xer, uploading an image is actually pretty easy.Hopefully this mini-walk through will help. First of all you must realize that the picture must be saved on your hard drive first and that the image is free to use (for more on this look here). Please only upload files that you know are free to use. If it is then click on "Upload file", it is in your toolbox (the box under the search bar on the left) or if you are having trouble finding it just click here. Type in the name of the image as it is on your computer in the "Source filename" box. If you don't know what the image is called on your computer click Browse button and find it. Once you have chosen your image then choose a descriptive "Destination filename" for Wikipedia. Remember we have thousands of pictures so you need to choose a good, descriptive name (oh yeah, don't forget to say what type of file it is .jpg or .PNG or whatever). Now type in any information about the image. For example author, URL (if you got it off the web), and a copyright tag if it is not in the pull-down box. If it is in the pull-down box (called Licensing) then select that. Now click upload file and your image should be on Wikipedia (of course there are any number of reasons that you could have problems e.g. the image name was already used etc.). Hopefully this helped you out, if you are having any more problems feel free to ask me more and also take a look at Wikipedia:Uploading images. Good luck with your uploading! Remember Be Bold and Happy Editing~ Joe Jklin (T C) 19:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- As a courtesy for other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments and your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info read Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. Just noticed that your signatures didn't have timestamps. Thought maybe you didn't know about the four tildes thingie. Happy Holidays! ~ Joe Jklin (T C) 11:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:MousseAnimeImage.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:MousseAnimeImage.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Image:MegaraDisney001.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:MegaraDisney001.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 09:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MegaraKingdomHearts009.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:MegaraKingdomHearts009.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 09:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
